Schramsberg has been considered one of the best in America at making sparkling wine, dating back to the late 1960s when Jack and Jamie Davies founded Schramsberg. When the Blanc de Blancs was first made in 1965, there were only 22 bonded wineries in Napa and less than 100 acres of California vineyards planted to Chard and Pinot. Needless to say, they’ve been creating special sparklers for years and years.
Today, Schramsberg is one of the coolest places you could possibly visit in Napa or anywhere. They are home to Napa’s first caves (a historic landmark) that were first dug in the 1880s, and they are home to the first hillside vineyards in Napa. They also make some of the very best Sparklers anywhere in the world. Part of it is that they ferment 25% of their own juice in oak barrels, part of it is that secret sauce that comes from doing this so well for so long.
Their recently released 2020 BdB will surely continue the trend of highly acclaimed Sparklers coming from this iconic estate. It’s an energetic rendition that leads with powerful notes of green apple, with some citrus, apple pie and brioche notes. It’s incredibly fresh and crisp with refreshing little bubbles that steal the show. A whole lot to like!

Luxurious and rich, yet pinpoint in focus, with expressive apple and strawberry flavors highlighted by brioche, ginger and spices. Drink now.

Eric Guido of Vinous just reviewed a number of Bele Casel wines last week and lobbed heaps of praise for each and every one of them. For this one in particular, he wrote a great review that I agree with on multiple fronts. For one, he called out ripe orchard fruits and candied citrus which I think helps set this one apart. In the dry category, you rarely get so much pure, juicy fruit as you do in this one. He also noted the “chalky minerality’ before calling out ‘the amazing length and freshness’ of this wine which called an ‘excellent entry into the dry category’.

The Bisol “Jeio” Prosecco NV is a delicious sparkler that comes from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. A brilliant straw yellow color, the first sip is an intense and fresh nose of citrus fruits and saline sensations. If you love fruit forward sparklers… this one is for you.

Far Niente’s beloved Napa Valley Cabernet comes from a who’s who of the best vineyard sites throughout Napa Valley. It’s a seamless Cabernet blend sourced from Oakville, Stag’s Leap, Diamond Mountain, St. Helena, Calistoga, Oak Knoll and the winery’s estate fruit in Yountville. The 2021 vintage is a particular high note – it’s a must-have for Big Red, Napa and Cabernet lovers.
This champagne is so good, it’s often a staple on the wine lists of Michelin two and three star restaurants. It offers elegant aromatics, pristine fruit and the crisp, mineral finish that screams for food. We loved it so much, we asked Jacques Diebolt to bottle a special cuveé for the restaurant– and he happily agreed, but unfortunately it sold out like hot cakes. No matter, here is old faithful. Just as delicious and memorable as I remember it.
