Huber Gruner Veltliner Berg
$79.99
In just a few years, Markus Huber has successfully established his winery as a showcase enterprise in Austria as a wine producing country. His distinctive, top-quality wines, grown on outstanding soils of lime and conglomerate, serve as an example of the very best of the Traisental Valley – full of character, clear in style and site-related minerality. The family’s highest priority is to work without compromise in the vineyards and in the cellar for premium quality. The vineyards are cultivated according to organic guidelines and the entire winery is certified according to the “Sustainable Austria” criteria. This vineyard occupies a steep, east-facing, terraced slope with a gradient of more than 25%. The soil, which overlies calcareous conglomerate of the Hollenburg-Karlstetten Formation, is very meager with only a thin layer of humus.
Unico Zelo Esoterico
$34.99
Winemakers notes: Crafting a pinpoint precise, squeaky clean wine is one of the most boring things we could think of. We prefer embracing your inner creative and searching for more radical experiences. This has become one of our most cult-followed wines since we began. It's not exactly white wine, nor red - many call it Amber wine...but we just call it Esoterico. We make no additions of any kind - save for sulphur when we bottle the wine. There is no fining or filtration involved, with the wine allowed to clarify by gravity alone - resulting in a slight haze and sediment. This is one of the most enjoyable wines to craft, as there was no preconceived idea of what it must taste like - the chief driver is pure drinkability - a 'scrumptious' quality - mouthwatering acidity and 'say hello!' tannins. It's a Bohemian at heart.
Chateau D'Arche Blanc
$31.99
Located in the village of Sauternes, 40km south of Bordeaux, the specificity of the vineyard is created by the Garonne and the Ciron rivers. The meeting of the cold waters of the Ciron and the warmer waters of the Garonne generates from the end of the summer a morning fog providing optimal humidity. The dry weather in the afternoon dries out the grapes and concentrates the aromas. In 1611, Etienne d’Arche 8th century generation, eldest son of Bernard d’Arche, Knight and Lord of Arche, formed the branch of the family that settled in the Bordeaux region. He was the doctor regent of the University of Bordeaux and a lawyer at the Parliament of Guyenne and encouraged the family's passionate love of wine by acquiring the estate.
Luneau Pierres Blanches
$53.99
Domaine Luneau Papin is the leading producer of single-vineyard, terroir-driven, long-ageing Muscadet. Their bottles have graced the wine lists of the world’s best restaurants vintage after vintage (Paul Bocuse anyone?). Pierre-Marie Luneau is the 9th generation in his family to grow that mystical Nantais grape: Melon de Bourgogne. In 2008 he was joined by his wife Marie Chartier. Together they farm 35 hectares in the heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine.
Luneau Papin, formerly known as Domaine Pierre de la Grange before Pierre Luneau married Monique Papin of Domaine Papin and combinedthe two estates, has been in existence since the early 18th century, growing Melon since day one. They remain one of the most revered names in the Loire Valley. Who else in Muscadet can boast of a 99 point wine?
Redstone Viognier
$25.49
Moray Tawse's pursuit of terroir brought him to Redstone Winery & Restaurant in Beamsville, renowned for its distinctive red clay soil and stones that result in unique and award-winning wines of depth and character. Harvested from the renowned Redfoot Vineyard and aged in French oak, this Viognier is a beautifully balanced expression of the varietal. It offers bright acidity that lifts the wine, while a round, elegant finish adds depth and texture. Highly aromatic, the nose is filled with notes of ripe peach, passionfruit, and jasmine blossom. On the palate, the wine is both vibrant and smooth, delivering flavours of juicy peach and delicate white tea, with a subtle oak influence adding complexity.
Baron Micaela Amontillado
$54.99
Bodegas Baron Micaela has a range of four Amontillados; this is the youngest (around 4-5 years of age), together with the Pino Viejo (same age). There’s also an older Amontillado Xixarito (15 years) and Amontillado Soluqua (30+ years).
As an Amontillado, it ages under floe during the first few years. After that, it is fortified again, eliminating the flor and provoking a period of oxidative ageing. It should be great with jamón ibérico, grilled asparagus or anything with mushrooms.
Markus Militor Riesling
$34.99
Since 1984, Markus Molitor has pursued a clear vision: to bring the great potential of the Mosel back to life – with distinctive wines that precisely reflect the interplay of vintage, ripeness, and origin. Meticulous manual work, selective harvesting, respect for grape and terroir, and the renunciation of standardizing aids define his winery’s philosophy.
The vineyard sites have ranked among the finest on the Mosel and Saar for centuries. Steep slopes, diverse slate formations, and the finest microclimates form the foundation for authentic, site-typical Mosel wines. Each wine reveals its origin, and every bottle stands for an uncompromising pursuit of balance, depth, expression, and structure.
Bauquiere la Belle Montagne Rose
$22.99
Produced from a single plot located in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain range, this wine is protected by rows of tall trees, crossed by streams. Its exceptional terroir, at an altitude of 350 metres, rests on deep limestone and clay-sandstone soils,
as well as ancient stony alluvial deposits, ideal for producing great wines.
Taittinger Brut Reserve
$96.99
There's nothing like Champagne to turn an average day into something special. This terrific non-vintage dry Champagne received 90 points from both Robert Parker and Wine Spectator. "Bold fizz. Fresh, vivid and flavorful, offering pencil shavings, peach, citrus and ginger notes on a racy, elegant frame. Really alive and the finish lingers on and on," says Wine Spectator.
