Nicolas Maillart’s Staff Favorite Champagne


We’ve carried the Champagnes of Nicolas Maillart in the past, but were blown away when tasting through them recently—enough that we’ve gone deep on the entire lineup. These are some of the most exciting wines from Champagne that we’ve tasted in some time, and they’re at prices that keep them firmly within reach.

Nicolas Maillart’s family has a grape-growing tradition in Champagne that dates back to at least the 18th century -some documents indicate the family has been farming grapes since the 1500s.

Lisini’s Classic Brunello

Including 2011 & 2012 Ugolaia


Lisini is a classic producer, both in style and in that they were one of the original 25 wineries in the Brunello Consortium. They’re known for powerful wines that see extensive aging in large casks and bottle before release, which softens their textures and gives them wonderful secondary flavors. These are reference-point Brunellos that belong in the cellar of any collector, particularly the under-the-radar (and under-$100) single-vineyard Ugolaia.

New Wines from Cayuse!
 
Cayuse is one of the most in-demand wineries in North America, producing wines from both Rhone and Bordeaux varieties that are among the finest in the world and selling them almost exclusively through their mailing list.  Even if you wanted to buy their wines directly off that list, you’d be looking at a looooong wait before getting an opportunity—so this is a rare treat.

We’re always on the hunt for more of these hyper-rare bottlings—and this set of wines is a prime example of why they’re so exciting.

Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Girard, Rhône 2017 750ML ($59.95) Was $45 Now $41.90, 36+ bottles in stock now
Wine Advocate 94 points “A special cuvée made for American importer Peter Weygandt, the 2017 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Girard includes a bit more old-vine Grenache, and it shows in the wine’s increased elegance. It’s more floral than the regular bottling, with scents of tea and roses, but it’s also darker and richer, with black cherry fruit, a velvety mouthfeel and a long, layered finish.”

Ridge’s 100-Point 2017 Monte Bello


We’re thrilled to have secured a limited allocation of one of California’s most celebrated wines, Ridge’s Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon. The bottle that put the Santa Cruz Mountains on the wine map, and remains its jewel, continues to enchant both connoisseurs and critics alike. Jeb Dunnuck recently named the 2017 vintage his #3 wine of 2020 and awarded it a perfect 100-point score.
