A Trio of West Coast Staff Picks
  

Brianne Day is one of the Oregon wine industry’s rising stars, building a reputation that lead to a recent James Beard nomination. Day describes their Momtazi bottling as their ‘flagship Pinot Noir from one of Willamette Valley’s most prized biodynamic vineyards and our most age-worthy wine.’

First Offer

To say Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or DRC, is the finest example of Burgundy is an understatement. These are the finest, most collectable wines in the world. Due to the astronomical demand that exists for DRC’s wines, they’re becoming more and more difficult to source every year. Fortunately, we were able to secure a modest allocation of their 2018s and are thrilled to offer them to our subscribers here today.

From Loire Legend Didier Dagueneau

Prior to his tragic death in 2008, Didier Dagueneau was one of the true superstars in the world of wine. He single-handedly changed the perception of Pouilly-Fumé, proving to the world that Sauvignon Blanc could be profound and age-worthy. He accomplished this with a mix of modern winemaking and ultra-traditional vineyard management. The resulting wines were soon recognized as being amongst the best whites in the world.

New Wines from Joseph Drouhin & DDO

Domaine Drouhin Oregon

Domaine Drouhin Oregon is one of the landmark names in the Willamette Valley. They were the original “French import”, long before Meo-Camuzet, Jadot or Liger-Belair thought the region was worth investing in, and they’ve been an important player ever since. While they’re best known for their original vineyard in the Dundee Hills, their ‘Roserock’ estate in the Eola-Amity Hills has been quietly making some of the best wines in the DDO portfolio in recent years.
