Gregoire Hoppenot is one of Beaujolais' newest all-stars, and his wines are about to blow up. With a cult-like following in France and Western Europe, it's just a matter of time before Greg's wines take off in the US.

No wine captures the essence of Muscadet better than Pepiere's Clos des Briords. It is a formidable white wine that seems to get better every year, driving up demand while supply remains the same.

Pepiere's Clisson is the "Rolls Royce of Muscadets," and it is this iconic estate's top bottling. One of the grandest and richest expressions of Melon de Bourgogne on the planet, it's a real treat.

Brand new to the shop and to North Carolina, the debut vintage of Time Place Wine Co.'s Pinot Noir is utterly beautiful.

For fans of the bright and un-oaked style of Chardonnay produced in Chablis and the Maconnais, you're going to love Greg Brewer's Diatom. 

Another year, another Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Barnard Griffin's Sangiovese Rose is one of North America's top and most awarded dry roses.

Affectionately known as “OVR,” Marietta’s Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of the old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties.

Vincent Ricard produces an exquisite example of Touraine Sauvignon Blanc that would give many Sancerres a serious run for their money. Possessing classic Loire Valley character and style, this is a stupid-good value from one of the top estates in the region.

Delicious Albarino doesn’t just come from Spain, and when you taste the Nortico Alvarinho, that will become overwhelmingly evident! Coming from Portugal's northernmost vineyards, right on the border with Riax Baixas in Spain, this is a dazzling white wine and an extreme value as well.

We are wheeling and dealing on several incredible values currently, and the Leziria Castelao offers up some serious bang for buck. Coming from coastal vineyards near Lisbon, this is all about smooth and easy-drinking aromas and flavors. Make it your new "house red," you'll be glad you did!

It gives me great pleasure to let you know that the Chappellet Mountain Cuvee is back, and it's one of the best vintages of this wine I've ever had. This Bordeaux-inspired blend is always one of Napa Valley's great red wine values, but the 2021 is on another level. Boasting beautiful concentration paired with smooth and ripe tannin, it's just a joy to drink.

Walter Hansel's North Slope Pinot Noir shows tons of Russian River generosity in its rich, plush, and complex personality. On the same wavelength as Pinots from Paul Hobbs, Rochioli, and Kosta Browne, but coming to you at a much better price, this is another stellar North Slope Pinot Noir from a highly regarded vintage.

One of the finest Montepulcianos I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy, Torre dei Beati's Cocciapzaa is perfection in a bottle. Antoni Galloni of Vinous Media rated the '19 version of this at 95 points, his highest-rated Montepulciano of the vintage. I'll guarantee you the 2020 will score similar, perhaps even a point or two higher....

This sumptuous, fresh, and downright delicious French "country wine" has a lot to like! From vineyards scattered throughout the Southern Rhone, it's a blend of Grenache, Caladoc (more on that later), and Syrah that drinks a lot like ripe and spicy Cotes du Rhone. For fans of wines from Piaugier and Amido, do yourself a favor, and get a six-pack!

Delicious White Burg from pedigreed vineyards for less than $20? Yep! How about as low as $12.99? Sign me up, and that's exactly what I did after tasting the 2021 R. Dutoit Old Vine Chardonnay. This is a ton of white wine for the money and one of the best values in the store. Keep reading, it just gets better!

What a delightfully refreshing and invigorating white wine! The Jacquere grape thrives in the Savoie region of France, in the foothills of the French Alps. Often referred to as "Mountain Muscadet," this iteration of the grape certainly "behaves" that way.

The Cheron family, of Domaine du Grand Montmirail fame, make one of the great Gigondas values on the planet. I'm here to tell you their 2020 is in top form, and Grenache-led blend is plump, ripe, and generous. Jeb Dunnuck, who has a great Rhone palate, said it is "well worth seeking out." Wiser words have rarely been spoken :)

Ponzi was instrumental in establishing Oregon's Willamette Valley as one of the premier viticultural zones in the world, and their latest releases are not to be missed. Now owned by the famed Champagne House of Bollinger, Luisa Ponzi has crafted two absolute stunners from the Laurelwood AVA, Oregon's newest appellation.

"It's stunningly good, and while already approachable and impossible to resist today, it's capable of evolving for a solid decade," says Jeb Dunnuck of Grand Bois' gorgeous 2020 Cuvee Maximilien. The village of Cairanne is north of Chateauneuf du Pape and just east of Gigondas and Vacqueyras, and Grands Bois is one the superstar producers of this village, which gained AOC status in 2016.

We bought it all! My favorite dry rose is back, it's back on deal, and it's another highly successful vintage of the La Cave du Prieure Gamay Rose. This uber-refreshing pink wine is what you want in your glass on warm and sunny days. 

Just a couple times per year, I encounter a wine that moves me, that inspires me, and that reenforces my wine enthusiasm deeply. Brothers Joan and Josep d'Anguera have produced just that, one of the prettiest and most riveting red wines I've had the pleasure to enjoy in 2023.
