Here’s the real story – far too strange to be fiction. Vincent’s Father – like all the grape farmers of the small village of Thesee-La-Romaine, did as they had always done. They tried to get as much fruit as possible out of their vines to take down the village cooperative where all the grapes were sold by the kilo.
But young Vincent had a different idea. Having just returned home from a fresh stint at one of the top wineries of Chinon, Ricard knew two things. First – that the flint-rich soil had the potential to craft world-class Sauvignon Blanc and second – that the only way to do that was to drastically change the way they were farming.
So that first year Vincent took 10% of the vineyard – and as the old men of the village watched and laughed – Vincent went through the vines by hand, cutting vines and dropping fruit ($$$) right on to the ground. He bottled it under the family name in lieu of taking it down to the village cooperative. It was all fun and games until the wine was finally finished and the old men finally got to taste the wine.
It was clear that the wine was sublime and completely out of this world – easily competing with the wines of Sancerre. So the old men sprang to action and they sued Vincent for making wine ‘too good’ or out of type for the region.
Vincent’s a way better guy than I am. He eventually won his case and instead of running the other family’s out of business, he took over the village cooperative and taught the entire village how to grow for quality instead of quantity. This is easily one of the best white wine values in the world.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.

This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
