“Soos Creek”
 

“I have pounded the drum for Soos Creek since I first tasted the wines 20 years ago. For those of us who want great value at stupidly great prices, Soos Creek is a treasure.”

— Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast

 
Founded in 1989 by David and Cecile Larsen. David originally started making wine for friends and co-workers in the Boeing Wine Club thanks to inspiring trips to Europe and Napa Valley.

Special Arrival
 
“Vietti”

Hailing from northern Piedmont, Timorasso has long been thought an interesting native varietal with exceptional aging potential. Ten months in ceramic vessels, stainless steel tanks and large oak casks – on the fine lees, which are kept in suspension with frequent batonnage tame this into a complex and expressive wine worthy of Vietti’s name
 
Vietti Timorasso Derthona Colli Tortonesi 2021 750ml $38 special, 18 bottles available
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points “A pale straw color, the 2021 Derthona Timorasso is set to be released in May of 2023. It has a savory richness to its aromatics of pine resin, fresh lime flower, and melon and is tangy on the palate, with medium body, saline, the stony texture of wet asphalt, Meyer lemon, and chamomile.

One of the oldest producers in Sancerre known for their famed “La Moussière” vineyard. Local records mention the Mellot family in connection with this land dating back to 1513 and it has been passed from father to son ever since… 19 generations of excellence and counting.
 
Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Blanc La Moussiere 2022 750ml $36 special, 12 bottles available
Winemaker’s Note “La Moussière is the estate’s flagship cuvee, its richness, energy and precision defining the Alphonse Mellot style.
