Baron de Ley Museum Reserva
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.

Benieres Chardonnay
The vast vineyards of France’s Languedoc hold many well-known grapes, including Chardonnay that is friendly and accessible. This one is gathered from organic vineyards on the Aspères plateau with its excellent marl and limestone soils. The winemaking is straightforward – stainless steel fermenters and just enough lees stirring to enrich the texture and flavors. We love finding wines like this!

Benieres Pinot Noir
Fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the Pays d'Oc, a region warm enough and varied enough to allow even persnickety Pinot Noir to find its happy place.

Bernard Chamfort Plan de Dieu
Why is this place called God’s Plain? Isn’t that a bit presumptuous? The name harks back to the Middle Ages, when walking this bandit-infested forest was like committing your fate to God. But now it’s mostly vines on clay and alluvial pebbles. But like its neighboring Côtes du Rhone Villages, Plan de Dieu’s reds are made more complex by the regional garrigue, the aromatic, Mediterranean flora, particularly bay, thyme and lavender.

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

Birichino Malvasia Bianca
Let’s say you start your careers in winemaking by traveling the world and learning from the best, and then go to work for the brilliant Randall Grahm, Santa Cruz winemaker extraordinaire and the original Rhone Ranger. John Locke and Alex Krause met at the iconic Bonny Doon winery after wine travels abroad, and working for Randall is like gaining an extra degree in winemaking and wine-thinking. So they have focused upon unusual grapes and styles. Malvasia Bianca is not a well-known grape though it should be; it’s arguably one of the world’s oldest identified grapes (or actually a group of grapes). This is from a southern Monterey County planting that dates back to the early 1900s on shale, decomposed granite and clay. And the honeyed, floral aromatics of the Malvasia grape are intensified by the Monterey character of warm to warmer days followed by cool evenings and even colder night times.

Bleu Blanc Thau
This blend of Picpoul,Terret, 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.

Block & Tackle Cabernet
How quickly the brilliance of the 2013's recede from memory, perhaps understandably overshadowed by the fantastic 2014's. Well, this 100% Cabernet from Rootstock Cellars ought to make you remember how balance and complexity can reign in certain years in California - and at an amazing price.
