Sandrone Sibi Et Paucis Le Vigne Barolo 2015

Barolo

July 28, 2026 - Sibi et Paucis, Latin for "for oneself and for a few," is Sandrone's library selection: a small portion of each vintage held back under optimal cellar conditions until the winery determines it is ready. The seal on the label marks that journey. Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis is more tannic and structured than its sibling ALESTE, revealing classic Barolo character over time: black cherry, tar, violets, and remarkable freshness and length.

Champagne Ayala Rosé Majeur

Champagne

July 28, 2026 - Rosé Majeur is the perfect embodiment of the originality and finesse of the House’s wines. Made predominantly from Chardonnay, it is crafted with the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims. A low dosage enables it to express the House style, both feminine and generous, with great elegance. The very high proportion of Chardonnay and the aging process result in a Champagne with remarkable finesse. It ages on the lees for three years, which is more than twice that is required by the appellation.

Champagne Ayala Brut Majeur NV

Champagne

July 22, 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.

Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Gris 2025

Willamette Valley

July 22, 2026 - Ponzi, a pioneer in Oregon Pinot Gris, helped establish it as the state’s first quality white grape variety. Their Pinot Gris is aromatic, expressive, and perfect for easy drinking, offering fantastic value with serious pedigree. Sourced from LIVE Certified Sustainable vineyards like Avellana, Aurora, and Madrona, it features aromas of marmalade, yellow plum, and honeycomb, balanced by lemongrass and lavender. The textured mouthfeel shows dried apricot, mango, and vanilla, finishing with bright acidity and salted caramel.

James Suckling - June 01, 2026 "A crisp and textural wine with aromas of green pears and blossoms, bright acidity, juicy citrus flavors and an incredibly long finish for a light-bodied wine. Nice tension and freshness."

Marietta Armé Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

North Coast

July 22, 2026 - Armé Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the great-great uncle of owner/winemaker Scot Bilbro. Sourced from the rocky hillside terraces of the Angeli Estate in Alexander Valley and the cool, protected McDowell Valley estate, it reflects the balance of warm days and cold nights that define these sites. Fresh, dark fruit and earthy savor give the wine a taut, structured core, while its style bridges modern California richness with Old World restraint. The dry fly on the label nods to the Bilbro family’s fishing roots and Armé’s legacy.
