Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Rioja D.O.Ca. 2019
Rioja Gran Reserva DOCa
October 28, 2026 - Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva is a wine which is only made in excellent vintages, originally created to mark the bodega’s 150th anniversary, as well as the history and winemaking traditions of the Rioja Alavesa. Grapes are harvested from some of the region’s oldest vineyard plots, with a minimum age of 80 years. These are generally venerable, low yielding vines which produce some of the highest quality fruit of the harvest. 150 Aniversario combines modernity and tradition; it is the ultimate and most genuine expression of the Rioja Alavesa.

Sandrone ALESTE Barolo 2022
Barolo
October 28, 2026 - 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. This single-vineyard wine is typically dense and concentrated, but shows incredible harmony and balance.
Wine Spectator - October 01, 2026 "Macerated cherry and strawberry flavors highlight this dense, tightly wound red. Plum, orange peel, tar, iron and menthol notes add detail as this persists with midpalate intensity and a long,…

E. Guigal Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin 2022
Chateauneuf-du-Pape
October 27, 2026 - The Guigal family's Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin brings together fruit from all three Nalys vineyards into a wine of exceptional precision and completeness, with intense old-vine Grenache and Syrah at its core, Mourvèdre and other estate varieties rounding out the blend.

Wine Spectator - February 28, 2026 "Warm and rich, with sweet tobacco leaf and mocha notes traveling alongside cassis and mocha-dusted cherry preserves. Sturdy and broadly textured, with singed alder smoke behind its savory elements of…

Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée
Champagne
October 27, 2026 - Special Cuvée is a Champagne that defies category. Pinot Noir, the most demanding grape in the region, makes up at least 60 percent of the blend, giving structure, depth and signature red fruit. One-third is fermented in oak barrels, adding silkier texture and layered flavor. Reserve wines aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years are hand disgorged into the blend, bringing richness and complexity. Aged much longer than most Champagnes, Special Cuvée offers freshness, savory nuance and velvety texture. It is a true expression of Bollinger’s devotion at every step.
Wine Spectator - September 01, 2026 "A lovely Champagne, with a sense of elegant tailoring as the satiny mousse caresses the palate and well-honed acidity creates a mouthwatering impression that carries flavors of ripe black currant,…
Wine Advocate - August 31, 2022 "Like its rosé counterpart, the latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Special Cuvée is showing especially well, bursting from the glass with aromas of honeyed apples, crisp stone fruit, buttery…
Wine and Spirits - December 01, 2021 "A vinous Champagne, this has pinot-noir depths of flavor, the structure enhanced by barrel-fermented reserve wines. Youthfully blunt in its power, this will benefit from a year in the cellar,…
