Cayuse / Christophe Baron Champagne / Horsepower / No Girls
 
“These are singular wines well worth the effort to track down… As I’ve said numerous times, Christophe Baron and assistant winemaker Elizabeth Bourcier produce some of the most singular and impressive wines out there.” —Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
 
It’s no secret that we’ve long admired the wines from Christophe Baron (and the man himself). This Champagnois-turned-Oregonian more or less put The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater on the map.
 
His Walla Walla portfolio now includes Grenache, Syrah, Tempranillo, and more sourced from Oregon and Washington. Representing the pinnacle of the region’s reds, we’re never surprised when top notch scores are released.

Merkelbach Sale 4-7-25

“Should we all buy more Merkelbach? Yes, of course!” – Mosel Fine Wines

Merkelbach
 
We adore the wines of Weingut Alfred Merkelbach, irrationally and perhaps more than any other grower in the Mosel. They set the curve for the term “old-school,” having made their wines in similar style for almost 70 years. These wines capture the delicacy and etherealness of Riesling like few other wines we’ve tried. Terry Theise, when importing the wines for Skurnik, described their wines as “like VAPING Mosel Riesling.”
  
The tiny estate boasts mostly ancient (and sometimes ungrafted) vines grown on steep terraces along the Mosel River in Urzig and in Kinheim. When most of the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyards were replanted during the re-alignment of the vineyards, Merkelbach’s vines remained on original rootstock.

The Sparkling Cure for Tariffs: De Venoge 4-6-25



 
The wine world is reeling from some unsavory news. Many of the wines we know and love from the world’s most classic regions are going to get more expensive after landing on American soil. The situation is uncertain but the power is certainly out of our hands. 

I don’t know about you but I need an antidote…something that can reset my palate after one of the toughest disappointments we’ve had to swallow in the business. There can be only one medicine: Champagne. And frankly it better be some of the best Champagne that I can uncork before those tariffs hit.

Vinopolis in this case as in so many is the doctor’s office. With one of the largest and most well stocked Champagne inventories on the West Coast, there are extravagent examples waiting to be opened at pre-tariff pricing.

Jim Maresh knows a thing or two about wine.
 
As the third-generation in his family to make wine, Jim crafts Grand Cru-level Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the winery’s prized position in the Dundee Hills. His releases are praised by critics praise as “are some of the most impressive wines I’ve tried anywhere—not just in the US”, per Erin Brooks of the Wine Advocate.
 
The winery in question? Arterberry Maresh.
 
These are benchmark wines for the region that somehow capture Jim’s easy-going yet seriously-nerdy-under-the-skin personality. That dualistic charm is doubled in in experimental side project, Tan Fruit.
