Brian Talley is a third generation farmer in San Luis Obispo whose family has been making use of the fertile land in the coastal region since the 1940’s. Talley Farms grew a reputation over the decades as a place to get the best fresh produce in the area. But when Brian took over the family winery in 1991, he quickly built a new twist on the family reputation, by being known more for churning out some of the most interesting, sophisticated old-world style wines in all of California. He became and is a media darling, oftentimes mentioned in the same vein in Chardonnay winemaking as the likes of Paul Hobbs, Steve Kistler and Larry Hyde.
Brian seized on a great opportunity to purchase a few vineyards throughout the Arroyo Grande region in the 1990’s picking perfect spots for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes to thrive. Talley single-vineyard wines are also produced by a list of some of the best in the business, including Au Bon Climat, Ojai and Paul Lato. That’s a testament to the quality of vineyards the Talleys have. The dozens of 90+ Wine Advocate scores, as well as his Robert Parker’s, “Wine Person of the Year Award” is a testament to how much Brian Talley means to the American wine community.
All of Talley’s single-vineyard wines regularly rack up 94+ point scores and favorable reviews, and will run you $50/bottle if you manage to get your hands on one. Today, the Arroyo Grande Estate Chardonnay, a collection of four different single vineyard Chardonnays in an elegant Old World blend with wonderful peach, citrus and floral notes and a hint of buttery toast on the finish ala Burgundy.

Limpid yellow. A complex bouquet evokes pear nectar, tangerine, honeydew, brioche, vanilla and succulent flowers. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated citrus and orchard fruit and buttered toast flavors and a hint of toasty lees. Rich yet lively in style, showing excellent clarity on an impressively long, mineral- and floral-accented finish that leaves melon and pear notes behind. 23% new French oak.
Jean-Claude Janin’s Domaine des Terres de Chatenay estate has 7 hectares of naturally farmed, old-vine Chardonnay with his vines rooted in some of the most mineral soil in all of Burgundy. The resulting wines are electric renditions of white Burgundy, with high-toned, floral aromatics, a deep concentration of green apple and pear fruit and a laser-like finish that is stony, a touch saline and a mile long. The 2021 is an extra notable year – despite a lower than normal yield, the quality across the board in Burgundy is exceptional.
The recently released 2021 Zanotelli Pinot Grigio Trentino is a vivacious Italian white wine. It is a high-toned treat, but still features fleshy fruit, a solid medium-to full bodied mid palate with great concentration and depth. Aged for six months in stainless steel, it comes roaring out of the gates with notes of orchard fruit, summer peach, green apple and pear with good acid due to the elevation of their steep vineyards at the SW foothills of the Dolomite Mts.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.
This is a spectacular new release – a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay from one of California’s hottest spots. As bright and refreshing as you could want, it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality creeping in on the finish. It’s a fantastic wine for summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
