Tobias has been making huge waves with the California wine press achieving consistently high scores for the Cabernets (particularly the one drawn from their Howell Mountain property). But those are relatively easy to get your hands on; the one that’s much more difficult to acquire is their tiny 1,500 case production labor-of-love called Lexi’s Estate Sauvignon Blanc.
Drawn from two just special blocks of the family’s estate – that have been farmed by the Paulis for over 100 years – Lexi’s Estate begun as a fun family project to work on with their daughter Lexi. It’s clear the Foreman/Pauli family held absolutely nothing back in crafting a wine with the next generation of the family.
Lexi’s Estate is a delight on the nose with bright citrus notes, key lime pie, and little honey dew. The mouth is bright and expressive, crisp and dry. Perfect with any seafood really but particularly the grilled shrimp I had a bottle with recently. It’s also a great one to enjoy in a chilled glass on its own.

Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
Etienne Daulny is the latest in a very long line of Daulnys to farm Sauvignon Blanc near the tiny hamlet of Verdigny in the appellation of Sancerre. He is currently in charge of farming over twenty small parcels including some incredibly well respected fifty-year-old vines. This is a classic Sancerre, aromatically dynamic, with intense fruit, distinct minerality and blazing acidity. It’s the white wine we drink most often at home. Beautiful structure and length to this with a youthful vibrancy that shines throughout.
The Picq Chablis is absolutely killer and so good for the money. Vinification takes place in a stainless steel vat so it comes out with tons of pent up energy that slowly unwinds with time in the glass. Green apple, pear and lemon lime notes highlight this one, but the chalky minerality steals the show for me. What a beauty.
This one is so fruit friendly and inviting and also the perfect treat for some Italian food or fresh fish. It leads with beautiful notes of stone fruit, lemon, lime, and some acacia flowers. It’s delicate, but still full on the mouth, with good structure, freshness, and intensity.
