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.

Alto Moncayo Veraton
Little brother to the famed Alto Moncayo, the Veraton packs as much flavor as its big brother but retails for $10 cheaper. Better deal? Ummmm YEA!!!!

Amelia Chardonnay
We don’t often tell you about Chilean Chardonnay. Why? Because ever since the Casablanca region popped up on our radar, Chardonnay has been often good, but rarely great. This may be the best example of why Chilean Chardonnay deserves your attention; it has some of the buttery character of California Chardonnay but it’s far more balanced and citrusy than 90% of California’s output. Trust this one.

Anton Bauer Ried Gmirk Gruner Veltliner
Ried means “vineyard”, while Gmirk means, uhm, we’re not sure, but Gmirk vineyard is a southern-facing site at the foot of the Hengst Mountain. The top layer of the very deep soil is of humus, and beneath this a loam-loess mix – the best conditions for the typical classic Grüner Veltliner of Wagram. Racy in tartness, and light in alcohol (just 12.5%)

Arcanum
Tenuta di Arceno is an ancient Tuscan estate producing some of the most interesting and powerful wines in the Chianti Classico DOCG region and under the Toscana IGT designation. About three-quarters Cabernet Franc, the remainder is nearly equal amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. This is not Bordeaux; it is not Chianti either, that’s for sure.

Austin Hope "Austin"
The “Austin” wine is a multiple vintage blend of vineyards in the region; think of it as the ultimate winemaker’s craft for his own table.

Balcon sur la Mer Rose
The first time I ever saw this bottle and tried the wine, I kinda felt like I was transported onto a luxurious vacation. Someplace like Saint Barths. But I'm not paying and someone is just pouring me lovely rosé in infinite quantities as my feet rest in the sand. Balcon delivers everything you want in a great rosé in spades. This unctuous pink wine is dry, stony, fruity, lengthy. Comprised of Grenache, Grenache Gris and Mourvedre.

Belcoop Red
The massive Pays d’Oc covers the greater part of Mediterranean France. After the railroad was built, linking the south to Paris, wines of the Languedoc filled the carafes of Parisian bistros, and they still do today. But the last century has seen vast improvements to the wines that once were built only for value. The rest is traditionally made; though used and funky barrels are no longer the norm in the Languedoc, where this tasty wine is crafted.

Belcoop White
Grenache Blanc is a work in progress, but only because the consumer is still discovering it. With enough sunshine, Grenache Blanc can develop weight and power. The wine is fermented like Chardonnay in some ways, though the stainless steel variety; its lees are stirred in the tank, creating greater richness and texture, and Grenache Blanc is very happy that way. You will be too.

Belleplane Chardonnay
In France, the grape is sometimes secondary - it’s the place that counts. The French label police have loosened up and they’re okay with Chardonnay being on this label. It matters if you’re close to the coast, or up in the mountains, and with a grape like Chardonnay, cooler, higher elevation sites are best. A third of the wine is barrel-fermented - the rest is in stainless steel, with enough lees-stirring to fatten up the wine and round it out.
