Beaux Freres ‘The Beaux Freres Vineyard’ Pinot Noir, Ribbon Ridge 2022 750ml $124.50 special, 6 bottles in stock now
Decanter 97 points
“A gorgeous Pinot Noir, the plantings from 1988 are being replanted as the phyloxerated vines are being removed. This wine shows elegance and grace while maintaining depth and concentration, but make no mistake, it’s built to age. The Beaux Frères Vineyard is clonally diverse with a massale selection of Pommard and Wadenswil and 115. Red fruited aromas and beautiful interplay between bright berries mixed with fresh mint and savoury herbs. The palate remains fresh and elegant, with red-fruited generosity and savoury depth of spearmint and wild anise.

Molitor’s Elite Values on Sale Now! 11-23-25

All Molitor bottlings of Auslese* and Auslese**, all at up to 10% off

 

We’re shifting gears in a way we think you’ll love. After featuring Markus Molitor’s legendary Auslese*** wines—those towering, near-mythic benchmarks of Mosel Riesling—we’re now turning our spotlight to the bottles that may offer the greatest  value in the entire Mosel: Molitor’s Auslese* and Auslese** selections. These wines come from the same vineyards, the same obsessive viticulture, and the same meticulous cellar, but offer a more accessible price point while still delivering extraordinary complexity, purity, and aging potential.

Make no mistake: these are not lesser wines. Molitor’s classification system is unique in Germany—his *, **, and *** designations reflect increasing levels of ripeness, concentration, and selection. While the Auslese*** bottlings represent the most painstaking berry selection and often the richest, most powerful expressions, the * and ** wines strike an irresistible balance of clarity, lift, sweetness, and minerality.

Evesham Wood & Haden Fig

 
Russ Raney (which he later changed to Rainey), was a giant in the Oregon wine community.
 
After studying wine in Germany, he founded the Evesham Wood winery in 1986. He took his inspiration from Burgundy and Alsace, planting Pinot Noir and aromatic white varieties. He was an inspiring figure in the Valley who influenced many folks in the industry.
 
After working with Russ for several years, Erin Nuccio took over as winemaker and owner in 2010 while developing his own original label, Haden Fig. Under Erin’s stewardship, the already topnotch winery has continued to improve, showcasing the profound terroir of the land.

Donnhoff’s Noble Dry Wines – Grosses Gewächs

 
Though the Mosel might get all the attention, the Nahe region of Germany offers something no other can boast: winemakers Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff. Anyone who knows their wines knows that this compliment is well deserved.
 
Dönnhoff is one of our favorite German producers, one we stock by the pallet-load. And we’re not the only ones obsessed. These are wines that become THE wine that made this whole Riesling thing click.
 
What better way to begin your own journey of discovery than with the top dry options? Fortunately, these Grosses Gewächs (“Great Growth”) wines won’t cost anything close to a plane ticket to Germany (or a top tier bottle of Grand Cru white Burgundy, for that matter).
