Alta Via Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio’s are all alike, right? Hmm, well, yes, often, that is true. But differences exist. For instance, Pinot Grigio from some of the top spots in the Friuli Venezia region can carry some weight and distinct minerality. Alto Adige, up in the foothills of the Alps (and higher), is the grape’s other sweet spot. Here the flavors become almost shockingly fresh, like you’re biting into a cold ripe grape you've just plucked off the vine.

Andezon
I hate to get all worked up about old vines, because there are great wines made from vines both young and old. Still, when you have century old vines managed by this great Rhone producer, and a remarkable track record for deliciousness, things tend to work out. And so they have here.

Averaen Pinot Noir
Perhaps you’ve heard of Banshee Wines. They started as a little garage unit in north San Francisco (the locals call it Dogpatch) and they simply bought tasty juice from the right vineyards and then made the best wine that they could. It’s worked out pretty well for them; they’ve gotten bigger and bigger. And now they’ve decided to go full Oregon. They’re buying grapes from some of their favorite spots in the Willamette Valley, and creating some of the most delicious values in the state.

Baron de Ley Museum
The Baron de Ley Museum Reserva Museum has more depth than their usual, worthy Reserva wines. It’s from extremely old vines (a century of age or so) planted in sandy and rocky soils with a thick layer of pebbles and a subsoil of limestone-clay and chalk. The bush vines that provide this sturdy wine are high up in the region, at over 2500 feet elevation.

Baron de Ley Varietales
Baron de Ley is a great example of how much the Rioja region has upped its game in the last decade. Like many of their wines of late, this 100% Tempranillo is rich, powerful, intense, heady and every bit a modern version of concentrated Rioja, but one that nevertheless still tastes like Rioja.

Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve
One of the most consistently delicious of Champagnes, Billecart is medium-bodied and more elegant than bombastic, exactly as Champagne should be.

Billecart Salmon Brut Rose
Every sommelier has a hip-pocket wine, the wine they go to when they need something they can rely upon for value and excellence and Billecart Salmon Rose is one of those wines.

Black Slate Priorat
Priorat is for people who want big wine, gorilla big, glowering and roaring in front of winedom's schoolchildren. This wine is a perfect example of that - and in terms of Priorat is a real value.

Blackbird Arise
2013 is pretty universally looked upon as a great Napa vintage and, while not everyone shows as much enthusiasm as we do (and they’re just plain wrong), we strongly believe that Blackbird Vineyards makes utterly delicious Napa wines. This is the so-called entry point red but it’s far more serious and successful than many others’ top wine: 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, it’s undoubtedly giving for a 2013 but contains plenty of vivid life for your cellaring or just a delightfully marbled chunk of meat. Plummy and layered, let this be your introduction to Blackbird wines for years to come.

Bleu Blanc Thau
This blend of Picpoul,Terre, and Colombard is so tasty, so refreshingly crisp (but still weighty enough to matter) and, dare we say it, a freaking value that it practically crawled into our bag and said take me home the first time we tasted it. Say hello to your new house white wine.
