Ponzi Vineyards Laurelwood Chardonnay 2023
Laurelwood District
June 04, 2026 - Crafted from LIVE Certified Sustainable estate vineyards rooted in the Laurelwood District AVA's signature windblown loess soils, Ponzi's Laurelwood Chardonnay is a benchmark for Oregon white wine. The 2023 vintage's long, warm growing season brings perfect ripeness to a medium-to-full-bodied wine with aromas of honeysuckle, apricot, and wet stone, and a broad, textured palate that finishes bright and saline.
James Suckling - February 04, 2026 "A harmonious and aromatic wine with aromas of lush white flowers, ripe green pears and limes. A round mouthfeel, cascading acidity and a pillowy texture. The wine finishes clean and…

Barolo
June 03, 2026 - ALESTE - a combination of the names of Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren ALEssia and STEfano -- is the new name for Luciano's first wine, the Barolo Cannubi Boschis, which garnered Luciano his early acclaim with the international trade and press. This single-vineyard wine is typically dense and concentrated but shows incredible harmony and balance.
Wine Spectator - August 06, 2025 "This red is settling into a nice groove, with the cut grass, freshly mown hay and red fruit character of the vintage. Cherry, raspberry, iron and spice flavors are fused…

Frescobaldi Tenuta Castiglioni Tenuta Frescobaldi 2022
Toscana IGT
June 02, 2026 - A compelling blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese, the Tenuta Frescobaldi Toscana IGT combines the best of Bordeaux blends with the classic Central Tuscan character of Sangiovese. So named because Tenuta Castiglioni is truly the original “home” of the Frescobaldi family, this wine offers an enticing taste of Tuscany by the glass or at home.
James Suckling - July 25, 2024 "Attractive notes of dark cherries, chocolate, oranges, red spices and lavender. Medium-bodied and structured but very fine and nicely filled with fruit. Succulent and long, with a polished finish."
Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2024
Nebbiolo d'Alba
June 02, 2026 - One of the Roero's most historic vineyard sites, Valmaggiore sits on a concave hill in Vezza d'Alba, on the left bank of the Tanaro river. Its reputation for quality dates to the nineteenth century, when Nebbiolo from this site commanded the highest prices across the territory. The vineyard's sandy soils set it apart from the clay-rich Langhe across the river, lending the Nebbiolo a more perfumed, lighter character without sacrificing complexity.
Wine Enthusiast - June 01, 2026 Lifted and pretty on the nose with dark spiced cherries that have a seriousness beneath all that prettiness, like something elegant, but with a firm handshake. The palate does not…
James Suckling - March 23, 2026 "Multilayered nebbiolo from one of the most celebrated cru of this grape, Valmaggiore. Dried cherries and meaty depth, embers, bark and licorice. Medium to full body, stunning savoriness with dried…
Xavier Milhade Wines Château Recougne 2022
Bordeaux Superieur
June 01, 2026 - Legend has it that Château Recougne earned its name in “recognition” by Henri IV in the early 1600s. Wine has been made here for 400 years, yet the estate feels more relevant than ever. As Bordeaux shifts toward freshness and balance, Recougne has quietly stayed the course, producing pure, energetic wines with red and black fruit and earthy complexity. Bottles from the 1950s and ’60s still drink beautifully. Today, fourth-generation winemaker Marc Milhade carries the torch, focusing on vineyard work and maintaining a low-intervention approach in the cellar.
James Suckling - January 23, 2025 "Ripe dark berries, ground cloves and licorice on the nose, with a subtle stony character. Tight and chewy, with a medium body, firm tannins and a bitter, spiced, walnuty finish."
