Gobelsburg

Schloss Gobelsburg, a Cistercian monastic estate, is one of the oldest wineries in the Austrian Danube area. Its documented history dates back to 1171. It predates the signing of the Magna Carta by almost fifty years. Centuries of experience in the vineyards that surround the Gobelsburg castle have led to intimate knowledge of the soils and microclimates that influence the characteristics of their Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. The meticulous care and concern are reflected in the precision and excellence of the modern wines.
 
In 1996, the Cistercian Monks of the Zwettl Monastery passed the winemaking role on to Michael Moosbrugger. The estate’s history of more 800 years of thoughtful vineyard management heavily influences his craft today.

Paolo de Marchi, owner of Isole e Olena since taking over from his father in 1976, is one of Chianti’s leading winemakers. Unlike most renegades who took to experimenting with Bordeaux varietals along the Tuscan coast, he wanted to create a wine that centered Sangiovese. Back then, Chianti regulations stipulated that a certain proportion of white grapes be included in red wines.
 
In 1980, de Marchi released his first vintage of Cepparello, a 100% Sangiovese wine. He bottled it under the broad category of “vino da tavola”, as did other early “Super Tuscans” such as Sassicaia. You could say he foresaw that what Chianti needed wasn’t necessarily more grapes (French or white) but instead a more focused approach on what makes the region great.

Walla Walla with a French Twist

We’ve long admired the wines from Christophe Baron (and the man himself). This Champagnois-turned-Oregonian more or less put Walla Walla’s The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater on the map. Representing the pinnacle of the region’s reds, we’re never surprised when top notch scores are released, just pleased as punch that we continue to be able to offer you these mailing list-mostly gems.
 
Not satisfied with crafting some of the most famous and sought-after wines in Walla Walla for roughly twenty years, Christophe returned to the Marne Valley of Champagne to craft exquisitely mineral Champagnes from his family’s vines. We at the shop weren’t terribly surprised by the obscene quality when he excitedly shared a magnum of the inaugural release with us.
