Dog Point Vineyard Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Marlborough

November 10, 2026 - Section 94 is widely regarded as the most distinctive and greatest Sauvignon Blanc being made in New Zealand today. James Healy and Ivan Sutherland were among the first to begin fermenting their Sauvignon in barrel with wild yeasts, a technique that along with the old vines they use, leads to a full-bodied wine that is less fruit-forward, more exotic, and has immense textural complexity. Section 94 was planted in 1992, designed for low yields and manual harvests on free draining slity clay loams.

Château de La Chaize Brouilly 2023

November 10, 2026 - A blend of select vineyard sites owned by Chaize, situated around the historic Château, this flagship cuvée stands as the epitome of the estate’s excellence. Each parcel undergoes individual vinification, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and preserving its unique qualities. Representing the essence of the Brouilly Cru du Beaujolais, renowned for its deep granite soil ideal for Gamay grapes, this wine captivates with a harmonious blend of complexity and fruity aromas, embodying the essence of its terroir with unparalleled finesse.

James Suckling - "This barely medium-bodied Brouilly is all about elegance and precision. Generous redcurrant and wild-blackberry fruit but not the slightest bit loud. Also wildflower aromas. The gentle tannins build very nicely…

Paternoster Vulcanico Falanghina 2025

Basilicata

November 10, 2026 - Vulcanico Falanghina showcases the best of southern Italy, with grapes sourced from vineyards near the base of Mount Vulture, an extinct volcano. The name "Vulcanico" emphasizes the volcanic origins of the soil, contributing to the wine's unique character. Made entirely from Falanghina, this wine beautifully blends the grape's inherent freshness, balminess, and delicacy with the boldness and generosity that define the wines of southern Italy. A perfect example of how volcanic terroirs shape and enhance the profile of this classic white variety.

Wine Enthusiast - December 01, 2026 "White peaches, pecorino cheese, and orange blossom take shape on the nose. The palate is lean and keeps those peachy tones humming. There's nothing too fruity about this and the…

Vinous - August 03, 2026 "The 2018 La Serre, which was the first vintage to be vinified in the new chai, is a little muted on the nose, the fruit more blurred compared to the…

Champagne Ayala Brut Majeur

Champagne

November 10, 2026 - Ayala Brut Majeur perfectly embodies the Chardonnay-focused style of Ayala. This cuvée achieves balance and finesse through low dosage, stainless-steel vinification, and three years of aging on lees. Made from over 70 crus across Champagne’s key regions, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, each cru is fermented separately in 120 stainless-steel vats, preserving its unique characteristics. The result is a Champagne of exceptional complexity, capturing the richness and diversity of the region’s terroirs.
