Frog’s Leap Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Rutherford

April 27, 2026 - Sauvignon Blanc plays a central role at Frog's Leap, serving as a unique example of the variety in Napa Valley. Rather than pursuing overt tropical ripeness, the estate focuses on freshness, texture and food-friendliness. This dedicated stylistic vision has resulted in a reference point year after year for consumers seeking a restrained, vineyard-driven expression that aligns closely with Old World sensibilities while remaining distinctly Californian.

Domaine Chanson Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022

Bourgogne

April 27, 2026 - A great introduction to Domaine Chanson, this Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from vineyards in Auxerrois, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais, with limestone and clay soils. It spends 14 months aging, allowing it to develop its full expression. Pale gold in color, it offers intense aromas of citrus fruit, green almond, and an underlying minerality. On the palate, it is well-balanced, with pure fruit flavors and a racy acidity. The structure is clean and dynamic, and the finish is refreshingly crisp. Perfect with charcuterie, pâté, and goat cheese.

Sandrone Dolcetto d’Alba 2024

Dolcetto d'Alba

April 27, 2026 - Sandrone’s Dolcetto d’Alba is a complex example of the variety. Dolcetto thrives in the limestone-rich hillsides, where the mesoclimates impart both structure and vibrant fruit. True to Sandrone’s philosophy, the Dolcetto sees no time in wood, preserving its vivid aromatics and purity of fruit.

Champagne Ayala Le Blanc de Blancs A/19

Champagne

April 27, 2026 - Ayala’s Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay, produced in small quantities in exceptional years only and fully expresses the superb caliber of great Chardonnay from the best crus of the Côte des Blancs. After 6 years of aging in Ayala’s cellars, remarkable minerality and low dosage make this an outstanding wine that can accompany a variety of flavorful dishes, including poultry and fish, or be served on its own to celebrate a special occasion.
