“The 2008 Champagnes that have been released so far capture all the potential I sensed when I first tasted the young vins clairs right after harvest. The 2008s are racy, energetic and tense, in the style of cool years like 1996, but with more fruit depth and less austerity. At the top end, the finest 2008 Champagnes are viscerally thrilling, chiseled wines that will soon be recognized as modern-day icons.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous
 
“A vintage that has come on strong, 2012 offers some of the best Champagnes for drinking today.

Domaine Tempier
 
Domaine Tempier is the most famous producer in the region, best known for its mineral-driven and cellar-friendly rosé. The reds, though, are criminally underrated and underappreciated, especially to lovers of bold, full-throttle wines. They represent the pinnacle of Mourvèdre-based blends that could convince even the most die-hard Rhone or Cali Cab lovers to expand their horizons, if only one could manage to convince them to try. That might be the hardest part, but we’re greasing the wheel by placing these wines on our three-day sale, starting now.
 
If you aren’t familiar with the Tempier reds (or Bandol in general) know that these are big and rich with a distinct earthiness and a spicy, bright finish.

Sicilian Wines
 
Italy’s Sicily seems to have it all for wine: fun and fruity Frappato, serious and volcanic-influenced Nerellos from the slopes of Mount Etna, iconic dessert wines, and just about everything in between. With the recent, island-wide push for quality all across the price spectrum, there has never been a better time to explore these wines.
 
For lovers of volcanic-influenced wines, Sicily’s Mount Etna is a cherished place. Home to the Burgundy-esque varieties of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, these are gorgeous, terroir-driven wines. The two grapes offer layers of spice and high acidity, partly due to being grown on the highest vineyards in all of Europe.

Incredible Dry Riesling on sale from Emrich Schönleber 11-2-25




Emrich-Schönleber
 

On a recent trip to Germany, I had few priorities beyond being able to visit the Nahe and see first-hand the small but wondrous region that is producing some of the country’s finest wines. Crafting a tasting schedule is never easy, and one is always forced to make hard decisions on which vintners to visit and which to reserve for a future date. Emrich-Schönleber was at the very top of my list.

The little town of Monzingen is tucked right alongside the Highway 41 as you cruise your way through the Nahe and stay tight to the river itself. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t boast immense architecture or wave bright signs in order to make you pull off the road and pull our your tourist dollars.
