Drinks Like White Chateauneuf: 2020 Domaine Lafage Cuvee Centenaire

The Trig Point Vineyard sits on a bench land site in the Alexander Valley, and it's not far from some prestigious vineyards that provide grapes for a very well-known winery whose wines sell for $75+.

A protege of Santa Rita Hills pioneer Richard Sanford, Deovlet's wines possess wonderful purity, transparency, and balance. Although this is his entry level bottling, there is nothing entry level about it.

Super Sancerre Deal: 2019 Pierre Morin Sancerre Vieilles Vignes
Pierre Morin has crafted a stunner of a Sancerre in the hot and sunny 2019 vintage.
