I know many of you have been waiting for me to offer up a "bomb" Pinot Noir, and that's what I've got for you today. The 2021 Kanzler Russian River Pinot Noir is a mesmerizing bottle of wine from this small producer in the Sebastopol Hills.
Festive and delicious bubbles are a necessity this time of year, and I think I've found one of the top sparkling wine values in the world. It's the 2021 J. Laurens Cremant de Limoux, and it's as classy as bubbly gets for less than $20.
For fans of Stags Leap District Cabs, you're going to want to get in on this action. The essence of Stags Leap terroir in a glass, Cliff Lede's 2019 Cabernet is a feast for the senses.
If you want to taste something that makes Team Table Wine jump with joy, you're going to want some of this. The 2021 Tour des Graves Cotes de Bourg Blanc is rare, unique, and utterly delicious. Stay with me, it just gets better :)

Two of the most trusted and oldest estates in the Tuscan hill town of Montalcino are Caprili and Tornesi. We're offering both of these gems up at really good prices.

I bet when you read that headline, you thought you'd be headed into Burgundy, Beaujolais, or Barolo territory. Nope, my top red wine of 2023 is a knockout Cabernet Sauvignon from a tiny new winery in the Walla Walla Hills of Washington.
Viognier reaches its most sublime expression in the tiny village and AOC of Condrieu, in the Northern Rhone. Francois Villard has his fingers on the pulse of this oft-difficult varietal, and I'm just gonna' call it -- this is my top white wine of 2023.
What is a Rosso di Montalcino? This DOC was created in 1984, and the idea was to create a fresher and more ready-to-drink style of wine that needed less ageing time than its grander sibling.
