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

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
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 Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
