No further discounts applySir Peter’s Chardonnay Ma Belle-Fille is on a very short list of the best white wines in America. Naturally, it’s also one of the hardest to get.
The single vineyard, Ma Belle-Fille is a steep parcel on the Peter Michael estate precariously positioned above the fog line approximately 1700 feet above sea level. The mountain slope exceeds 40% grade in some spots. The vines work hard here and yield very little wine but what is coaxed from these tiny grapes is some of most compelling Chardonnays in the world.
The 2017 is spectacularly intense wine. The nose is exotic, with a great mingling of guava, brioche and honeysuckle. The wine is rich, with flavors of pear, citrus rind, and honey, accented by a fresh, oyster-shell minerality that keeps this wine dancing on the palate in a finish that lasts a mile long.
Chardonnay Ma Belle-Fille 2017 will be delicious this Saturday night and every other for the next 10-15 years.

“A barrel sample with fruit from Hudson, Calera and two types of Old Wente clones, the 2017 Chardonnay Ma Belle Fille has beautiful, sophisticated citrus notes of lemon curd, pink grapefruit and yuzu over a pear, peach and apple pie core with touches of exotic fruits, nutmeg, toasted almonds and talc. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with amazing vibrancy countered by a beautifully creamy texture and long, mineral-driven finish. This should age incredibly!”

Grilled Fish and seasonal root vegetables are the perfect match.

Kissed with just a touch of oak and apple pie on the nose, the LOLA Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2017 courtesy of former Caymus winemaker, Seth Cripe features mouthwatering flavors of fresh peaches & Meyer lemon. This one is zesty and the perfect midweek food wine.
From one of the best Loire wineries and one that Vinous recently dubbed, “a benchmark producer of Saumur-Champigny”. The 2019 Saumur Blanc is a racy treat. It mixes aromas of ripe apple and melon mingled with ginger and honeysuckle all elegantly lifting from the glass and leading to a concentrated core of peach and apricot flavors. The finish lasts forever– chalky, super crisp and as mineral as can be with a wonderful spice component that lingers.
92-94 Points, Vinous
Tegan’s 2018 Turley Kirschenmann is an aromatic fireworks show. Upon popping the cork, you’re bombarded with aromas of crushed cherries, ripe peaches, cinnamon and clove. On the mouth, a mid to full-bodied medley of red fruits and baking spice with smooth tannins, beautiful depth and precision. Antonio Galloni of Vinous loved the wine, giving it a 92-94 point score for this Zinfandel he called, “racy and expressive”
Matt Cline knows he’s extremely fortunate to be making wine from vines that date back almost 130 years. While he is most known for his dazzling single-vineyard offerings of Zinfandel, Carignan, Mataro and Petite Sirah, his Old Vines Field Blend might offer the best value. The 2016 OVFB is an absolute powerhouse and is a wine like none you’ve ever tasted. Think Amarone meets CDP!
