Dog Point Vineyard Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Marlborough
November 19, 2025 - 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.
James Suckling - November 01, 2023
Wine Enthusiast - June 10, 2024 "From a single vineyard and aged in old French oak, this wine—always one of New Zealand's most distinctive Sauvignon Blancs—opens with intensely reductive, sulfuric aromas of struck match, grilled nuts…

Barolo
November 18, 2025 - A combination of the names of Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren ALEssia and STEfano, ALESTE is the new name for Luciano's first wine, the Barolo Cannubi Boschis, which garnered early acclaim with the international trade and press.

Frescobaldi Castello Nipozzano Nipozzano Riserva 2022
Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG
November 18, 2025 - Nipozzano Riserva is a defining wine of the estate, capturing the essence of Chianti Rùfina. Primarily Sangiovese with complementary varieties, it reflects the region’s high elevations and unique climate. The name “Nipozzano,” meaning “without a well,” highlights the area's water scarcity, ideal for vine cultivation. Surrounded by mountains and fresh winds, the vineyards benefit from a significant day-night temperature variation, enhancing the wine’s complexity. The result is an incredible value from Frescobaldi.
Wine Spectator - October 31, 2025 "Dark cherry, plum, earth and tobacco flavors are enmeshed in the lush texture of this broad red. There are solid tannins and bright acidity for support as this fades on…
William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots – Domaine 2022
Chablis Grand Cru
November 11, 2025 - Domaine William Fèvre Bougros is a powerful Grand Cru from the steepest slope in Chablis, with a gradient nearing 45 degrees. The domaine tends to 49% of the cru, including 2.11 hectares in the lieu-dit Côtes Bouguerots. The vineyard, planted mostly in the 1950s and '60s, sits on shallow soils that naturally restrict yields, creating a more complex wine. The wine undergoes an extended 14- to 15-month elevage, with about half of it spending time on the lees in old French oak barrels (averaging 6 years old), adding structure and depth to this exceptional wine.
Wine Enthusiast - October 01, 2025 "A kiss of floral perfume overlays fresh, pure orchard fruit and firm stone, creating an elegant and sultry nose. The palate is precise and full bodied, with an intense wash…
