Raffaello Moscato
Don’t hate Moscato Spumante because it’s dolce (“sweet” in Italian and everything sounds better in Italian). Just picture yourself on a Vespa, driving through Roma, winking at everyone and saying “dolce!” like you’re in a Fellini movie. La Dolce Vita!

Raffaello Prosecco Rose
So Raphael dal Bo is a real guy, born and raised in Conegliano, the beating heart of Prosecco, who makes some of the best sparkling in the game.

Ramona Ruby Grapefruit 4 pk
Most of us have said for years that people should drink what they like, and for years the sommelier community agreed, while mocking anyone who didn’t drink the newest coolest label. Certain sommeliers are more open-minded than others; one of the most famed, Jordan Salcito, is talking about this simply enjoyable combo of Italian Zibbibo (think Muscat) grapes, cane sugar and grapefruit juice. If it all sounds like some sort of wine cooler, well, what’s wrong with that?

Robert Foley The Griffin
I miss Bob Foley. I used to see him a lot because I was obsessed with Pride Mountain Vineyards, producer of one of the world’s great Merlots. Bob started at Heitz Cellars, but more importantly spent 15 years as the founding winemaker for Markham Vineyards (more great Merlot). Then in 1992, Bob began another 15 years as the founding winemaker for Pride Mountain Vineyards. He also created the highly acclaimed Switchback Ridge, Hourglass, Paloma, and School House wines. Now he has his own eponymous winery on Howell Mountain, and I don't get there (too many other places to be) but there he makes Cabernets as well as various blends, like the Griffin, the Foley Family crest in Irish heraldry and a blend of the best in the red wine cellar: Merlot, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Charbono, Petit Verdot, and sometimes others.

Robert Goulley Chablis
Chablis over the last few years has enjoyed the best of times and the worst of times, and sometimes at the same time. The 2022 vintage was badly damaged by frost, though the hail that hit much of Burgundy spared Chablis. The result was a smaller crop than anyone had hoped, but what was there was super concentrated. Many small growers, even with generations behind them, like Robert Goulley, have seen disruption. We’re lucky to have some

Roche Bousseau Anjou Blanc
The beautiful Château de la Roche Bousseau was constructed in 1433, though much of it was destroyed after the French Revolution and rebuilt thereafter. Vines were planted in 1791 and have grown to almost 200 acres of Chenin Blanc and the other usual Loire Valley grapes. Chenin creates a simple enough wine in most places, but in Anjou the grape offers wines that can be complex, complete and exciting.

Rocoiseau Viognier
More than a half century ago Viognier was forgotten; near extinct. In the 1980s things blew up, with acreages quintupling. There were a few successes, but most just didn't do justice to the grape. Winegrowers eventually found the ideal conditions, while the Viogniers of the Rhone have become pricey and sought-after. Elevated spots in the Pays d’Oc are this wine’s source; to a great degree this is the grape’s frontier now.

Rosabelle Rose
For rose it doesn't matter as much what grapes you use, just the process. Though they need to be picked early and when they’re still tangy and tart. For Rosabelle that means Grenache and Cinsault. These days a paler style of rosé prevails, set by Provençal producers and Rosabelle is cut from that cloth.

Round Pond Estate Rutherford Cabernet
Famed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown shepherds these vibrant puzzle parts (94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Syrah) into a very complete and balanced picture of Rutherford Cabernet in all its richness, dusty Napa character and stamina for a long slumber in your cellar. Unless you decide to drink it first. In which case, you’ll be just as fine.

Saint Nicolas Pinot Noir
Everybody talks about how difficult Pinot Noir is to grow but, to be honest, it’s not that hard to grow it. It’s just hard to make it taste like Pinot Noir, rather than a generic red wine. You’ve got to grow it in a nice place where things cool off at night, as happens in this little spot of the Languedoc, protected from the afternoon sun. Maybe it won’t change your world, but it will taste like Pinot Noir that makes you want to drink some more.
