Waccamaw Proprietary Red
Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.

Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay
Wente's way with Chardonnay has always gotten to me. There's something about their style of fat and rich fruit, combined with clean and fresh tartness. Whether in a blind setting or when I know what I'm drinking, I keep finding myself preferring Wente over other, bigger names.

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.

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.

Berthete "Les Pierrugues" CDR
The blend is more traditional than modern - 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 5% Cinsault. Not too many years ago, Carignan was the red-headed stepchild of the Rhone (it was widely planted in the 19th century); the usual view was that it only grew well in a few places and only old vines produced excellent wine. But times and views are evolving and, particularly in light of climate change, Carignan is finding new fans for its crisp, crunchy cranberry flavors and its ability to provide tartness even in hot vintages.

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
2014 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.
