Saint-Roch Red
The Brunel Family has been making wines in the Southern Rhône Valley since 1670, and about 70 years ago, they bought one of the most iconic properties in Châteauneuf du Pape, Chateau de la Gardine. But they have long made other wines under the name Chateau Saint Roch in Lirac. Vinification is old school, taking place in cement tanks, and then aged in a combination of used French oak barrels and cement vats.

Saint-Roch Rose
The Cher river, said to be named for an ancient word for ‘stone’, is more than 200 miles long and many unsung wineries and wines nestle there, including those of the Bardon family. After nearly two centuries, the Bardons continue to create wine from this soil, and Dennis Bardon has named his winery Saint-Roch, his hometown’s patron saint who also happens to be the patron saint of stonemasons. It’s about the rocks, people.

Saint-Roch White
We’ve been ardent fans of Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage ever since we opened our doors; they produce delicious and delightfully affordable wines (don’t believe us; Parker loves them too). This blend of textured Grenache Blanc and aromatic Roussanne grapes is sneaky; it seems light and crisp but just adds weight and dimension the longer you sit with it.

Salmon Creek Chardonnay
Oak, butter, and lots of fruit for $5.95? Might as well pick up six!

Scarpetta Frico Bianco
Over the last century or two, this part of Italy has become a place for great aromatic whites. The light, gravely soil of the western part of Friuli is perfect for producing light, aromatic, crisp white wines, like this white blend of Friulano and Chardonnay. Like most of their wines, it’s meant to be an everyday drinker. And the name? The scarpetta is that last little piece of bread you use to soak up the goodies on your nearly empty plate.

Sea Sun Chardonnay
Let me see…what is “Sea Sun” is French? That would be “Mer Soleil”, one of California’s most iconic Chardonnays. Now that wine is a bit pricey; it deserves to be since it’s so damned popular. So when we get offered “Sea Sun” by the Wagner Family, who own Caymus, Conundrum, Emmolo, Bonanza, Copper Cane, and Belle Glos and created and sold (for a rather tidy sum) Meoimi, well, you pay attention. You taste. And then you buy.

Side By Side Crianza
A ridiculous value in red wine, that’s all, just ridiculous, like a clown made of Tempranillo and Garnacha.

Silenus Cabernet Sauvignon
Silenus is the new-ish name for those of us who have known Newlan Vineyards. The vines were planted in 1968 in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, and the grapes have been used for Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Silver Oak, among others. This southern portion of Napa Valley was chosen because it enjoys a longer growing season, earlier bud break and optimal ripeness.

Silenus Merlot
Silenus is the new-ish name for those of us have long known as Newlan Vineyards. Bruce Newlan planted his vines in 1968 in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, and the grapes have been used for Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet and Silver Oak, among others. He chose this portion of Napa Valley because it enjoys a longer growing season, earlier bud break and optimal ripeness. Newlan changed hands in 2008, but the wines have not missed a step.

Silenus Tyros Cabernet
Silenus is the new-ish name for those of us who have been around a long time know as Newlan Vineyards. Silenus rose up, starting on a track that has culminated in being one of the first Napa Green properties to develop a Carbon Farm Plan for the vineyards to become Carbon Neutral. Tyros is a blend of vineyards from Napa to the Pope Valley, through St. Helena and the Oak Knoll district and Carneros AVA.
