A few weeks ago, I sat down to one of my hectic tasting sessions. Roughly 18 bottles of wine with the labels all covered up, corks already popped and to the side, bottles chilled and ready to go. The first few.. Meh. Nothing special. But I stopped at my fifth glass and did a double take.
What I was tasting was single vineyard Sancerre. Like the good stuff. At least that’s what I swore. I was trying to figure out what commune it might’ve come from. I’m not saying I’m an expert, but I’ve been to the Loire enough times to be able to get pretty close with a guess.
But this was one of those times, I wasn’t even on the same continent. I was bamboozled. Granted, I had asked for Sancerre so maybe I was looking for it, but this Russian River Valley Sauv Blanc that I had never before heard of, stole the show. I don’t even think we had any other winners in the group. I was that enamored.
If that special Sancerre mineral cut is why you keep coming back for more, then this is the Sauvignon Blanc for you. It’s weighty and well-balanced and offers so much nuance between the minerality, the spiciness and all the pristine fruit. Stone fruits, a hint of ginger, turmeric and citrus. A touch of salinity, a burst of minerality and the backbone to pair with anything on the table.

A thrilling combination of scents floored us: basil, turmeric, and lime blossom. Seductive notes of peaches, fresh-cut Granny Smith apples, and oregano meld with frisky acidity. A steely, salty minerality comes in, dynamic and a heavenly match with food
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadlle, then you know why. The 2020 vintage has just arrived, and it’s a fantastic vintage in Bordeaux for energetic whites. This is world-class, as always.
For the first time ever (I’ve been trying for 5 years), we got our hands on Sea Smoke’s elusive, exclusive and exquisite Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay, the famous cool climate Chard that helped propel this tiny winery into the elite stratosphere and cult status. Made with Dijon and Wente clones, they use stainless steel as well as French oak foudres and demi-muids to ferment their Chard, producing and elegant and laser focused Chardonnay.
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.
For generations, the Almondo family have tended vines of Arneis, the noble white variety of Piedmont. Their Bricco delle Ciliegie always seems to be a cut above the rest. It dazzles right out of the bottle, with tons of pent up energy and lift, generous aromas of white flowers, almonds and a touch of sage. The mid-palate has layers of concentrated peach and citrus fruit with a mineral streak and a long, clean finish that leaves you wanting another sip.
