Chateau d’Aiguilhe Cotes de Castillon is a beautiful red wine gem from the excellent 2019 vintage in Bordeaux. The von Neipperg counts are descended from a noble line dating back to the Holy Roman Empire. This family has contributed great soldiers and illustrious diplomats throughout the centuries. Responsible for numerous military exploits, the family’s long history is grounded in their attachment to their land. In fact, the Counts von Neipperg have been making fine wine since the 12th century. Chateau d’Aiguilhe is located on hills overlooking the Right Bank of the Dordogne River, on the border between the Cotes de Castillon and Saint-Emilion appellations. This 110- hectare estate has 50 hectares of vines, which are planted exclusively on the upper part of the hills. 

A terrific effort from this large and immaculately maintained property on the clay-limestone slopes of the Côtes de Castillon, the 2019 d'Aiguilhe exhibits aromas of cherries and cassis mingled with notions of burning embers, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a mineral finish, it's intelligently matured in tank and large-format oak as well as small barriques. Drink 2021-2039.”—William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 92 points!

It has plenty of ripeness, medium body, present tannins, and the balance and class to keep for 10-15 years.”—Jeb Dunnuck, 92 points!

Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

Chateau Romer Sauternes Grand Cru Classé is a delicious dessert wine from the most prestigious region for dessert wines—Sauternes. Founded in the 17th century by the Montalier family, sharing its early history with that of Château Romer du Hayot. In 1855, the estate was named Château Romer and was classified as a second growth. In 1911, 12 acres of the estate was sold to Roger Farges, and this land became the current Château Romer, which stayed in the Farges family for the next century. In 2002, Anne Farges restarted winemaking at Château Romer, with the 2002 vintage the first to reappear under the château's own name. The property has since been taken over by Maison François Janoueix, which takes the greatest care in maintaining this vineyard. 

Chateau Romer Sauternes is a blend of 90% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 5% Muscadelle. Only 3.5 ha are currently in production, making just 6,000 bottles annually. Traditional vinification in French oak barrels, followed by aging in barrels for 12 to 18 months. Showing freshness as much as richness, this is a honey-and-lemon flavored wine. While it has weight, the acidity cuts the texture, keeping the richness in balance. For long term aging. 

In addition to the classic pairing of Sauternes with foie gras, Chateau Romer Sauternes Grand Cru Classé is great for aperitifs and to finish off meals of white meats, fish, or with pastries. Serve chilled at 51 to 53F.

Crete, Greece 

Zidianakis Solidus is a beautiful organic Greek white wine of the indigenous varietal Vidiano. Zidianakis Garage Winery is a small state-of-the-art winemaking establishment, working mainly with indigenous white and red grape varieties. It is located in the village of Agies Paraskies Pedias, 20 km southeast of Heraklion, Crete. The owners apply the Integrated Management method in all phases of viticulture activity, which involves every environmentally friendly practice. Focusing on the minimal use of chemicals and the application of controlled methods, such as green harvesting and suited pruning, aiming to improve the raw material quality and not simply to increase the production volume. The goal is to make a fine wine, inextricably linked to the land and our zest, for people of refined taste. 

Zidianakis Solidus is a dry white wine from the Cretan variety Vidiano. Vidiano, which until a few years ago was nearing extinction, is now considered one of the signature varieties of the Cretan vineyard. It offers us complex aromas of ripe peach, apricot, bergamot, citrus blossoms and a mild sense of minerality, i.e. a slightly salty sensation with hints of astringency. 

The name Solidus comes from the gold coin established by the early Byzantine emperors and was a constant reference point for its great and lasting value; Solidus wine represents for us this constant value. 

Enjoy Zidianakis Solidus as a refreshing aperitif wine and with grilled salmon, grilled octopus, roasted chicken and summer salads.

Uco Valley, Argentina

Gran Famiglia Bianchi Corte is a beautiful Malbec blend from Argentina’s Uco Valley. The family-owned Bianchi winery is situated in the sub-regions of both the Uco Valley and San Rafael. In the Uco Valley, in Los Chacayes in the northwest of Argentina, the high and deep valleys of the majestic Andes Mountains lend a particular environment to the region’s grapes. Situated along the Tunuyán River, alluvial soils ensure the necessary water needed for the vineyard’s irrigation. It’s a rocky area, too, which gives the wines a mineral character with three-dimensional aromatics. All the vineyards sit between 2700 – 3900 ft above sea level, well above the fog line for long bouts of sunlight, perfect for phenolic ripeness and maturity. 

Gran Famiglia Bianchi Corte is a blend of 59% Malbec, 23% Petit Verdot, 11% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Tannat. It is deep in color with purplish hues. On the nose, intense aromas of red berries, plums, and violets. There are also mentholated notes, spices, and quince touches provided by the Merlot.

Persistent finish. Good aging potential.

After nearly thirty vintages, his wines’ signature balance of acidity and elegance have cemented them as benchmarks within Chile.

Mathilde fruit liqueurs are handcrafted French spirits produced from our cherished forefathers’ recipes. Today, Maison Ferrand painstakingly oversees the production of Mathilde liqueurs and strives to transmit its ancestral savoir-faire, year after year. The farmers who grow the fruits for Mathilde are guided by traditional farming techniques and harvest only the freshest fruits at their peak ripeness to ensure we capture the most palatable flavors.

The result is a fancy liqueur from France, wonderfully adaptable for mixing in cocktails, using in baking and cooking like our grandmothers did, drizzling on fruits and desserts, mixing with soda water and so many more variations.

Mathilde liqueurs are entirely natural – no stabilizers or preservatives are added, ever.

Cassis has been referred to as the “Elixir of life” since the 18th century. Cassis liqueur has been made across several regions in France for decades. Some of the finest blackcurrant berries are found in Burgundy and are called Noir de Bourgogne, and we use those as well as berries from the Loire Valley, called the Royal de Naples.

Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants have excellent aromatic qualities and are considered the tastiest blackcurrants to eat. We also use the Royal de Naples, which have a soft, sweet flavor.

Maremma Toscana IGT, Italy 

Wine Spectator 92 points! 

La Mozza Cabernet Sauvignon I Perazzi is a beautiful Cab from the Maremma subregion of Tuscany. Located in the heart of the wildest Maremma, La Mozza covers ​​36 hectares, of which 16 are vineyards. Located entirely in the municipality of Magliano in Toscana, an almost uncontaminated area of ​​wild beauty, surrounded by pastures, arable land and forests, where many wild animals still roam. This area is much drier than the fog-draped hills of central Tuscany. The lack of morning mist means the grapes start ripening at sunrise, and are sun-drenched until sunset. Rain is scarce as the Island of Elba off the coast acts as a windbreak, shifting eastbound moisture to the north and south. 

“This is bright and lively, offering cherry, blackberry, wild herb and iron flavors. Light tannins grace the finish, leaving a sense of balance and fine length. Salty finish. Drink now through 2030. 2,250 cases made, 2,250 cases imported.”—Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92 points!

M. Dean Chardonnay from California is a terrific value in California Chardonnay—made by the former winemaker of Joel Gott! Founder Michael Dean has developed a great reputation as a wine importer for over 35 years. Known for bringing impeccable wines to wine lovers across the country, now he brings you M. Dean, a California name you can trust to deliver similarly high-quality wines with exceptional value. Michael recruited the renowned winemaker Alisa “AJ” Jacobson, to help make his vision a reality. As a UC Davis graduate respected for her craft, AJ was making wines for 19 years at Joel Gott Wines, before teaming up with Michael to create M. Dean. 

The 2021 vintage featured an early bud break with steady warm conditions up till harvest, translating to consistent ripening on the vine. The vintage yielded excellent fruit quality with good flavor concentration and a notably vibrant acidity. The Chardonnay was pressed to tank, settled, and racked where it began fermentation. One third of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine finished fermenting in French oak barrels (25% new) and aged for 10 months to create a rounded character on the palate. 

M. Dean Chardonnay is bright and buttery with a touch of oak. Notes of pear and crisp apple with a mouthwatering finish. Pairs well with fish, pasta, poultry, and veggies.

M. Dean Cabernet Sauvignon from California is a terrific value in California Cabernet—made by the former winemaker of Joel Gott! Founder Michael Dean has developed a great reputation as a wine importer for over 35 years. Known for bringing impeccable wines to wine lovers across the country, now he brings you M. Dean, a California name you can trust to deliver similarly high-quality wines with exceptional value. Michael recruited the renowned winemaker Alisa “AJ” Jacobson, to help make his vision a reality. As a UC Davis graduate respected for her craft, AJ was making wines for 19 years at Joel Gott Wines, before teaming up with Michael to create M. Dean. 

 The 2021 vintage was quite warm, allowing grapes to fully ripen. Small berries with good flavor concentration and firm, ripe tannins, created a Cabernet Sauvignon with both finesse and backbone. Blending with a minority of other Bordeaux varieties brought total harmony to the wine. The Cabernet was sourced from prime vineyards throughout California. Yields were controlled to create richer, riper fruit. A few small lots from cooler sites were blended in to add a savory component as well as freshness. 25% was racked to new French oak barrels. The wine was bottled after 10 months of aging. 

M. Dean Cabernet Sauvignon is a modern take on California Cabernet with aromas of huckleberry, blackberry, and spice. Enjoy with game, meats, anything with red sauces, and aged cheeses.

Alghero Torbato Spumante DOC, Sardegna, Italy 

Sella & Mosca Torbato Brut is a beautiful dry sparkling wine of 100% Torbato from Sardinia. A jewel in the Mediterranean, Sardinia is a rustic and enchantingly beautiful island with extreme geography and vinous diversity to tempt travelers and wine enthusiasts alike. Mr. Sella and Mr. Mosca fell in love with this land over a century ago and established Sella & Mosca, one of Italy's most renowned wine estates. As Sardinia's foremost wine producer, Sella & Mosca’s premium wines are made exclusively from estate-grown grapes. In addition to native varieties such as Vermentino, Torbato and Cannonau, the winery has successfully pioneered the introduction of international grape varieties, notably Cabernet Sauvignon. 

A rare and precious varietal, rediscovered and rehabilitated by Sella & Mosca over years and years, Torbato grows best in calcareous soil originating from ancient marine sedimentation. The straw yellow color is bright and shining, while the aromas range vivaciously from acacia blossoms and pink grapefruit to autolytic and bready notes. A trail of iodine reverberates within a savory, fresh and balsamic palate with a creamy yet dry and vertical start. The aromatic nuances continue on, drawn by the acidity into an interminable finish. 

This dry, refreshing sparkling wine is perfect with seafood dishes, grilled chicken, and Mediterranean fare, or to celebrate a special occasion!

Georges Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis Blanc is a beautiful white wine gem from the Cote de Nuits, showing off the natural beauty of the Chardonnay grape. The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked at the domaine for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008. His approach is very traditional, as he seeks to achieve maximum aromatic concentration, above nearly all other characteristics, including structural or color concentration. When it comes to the vineyard holdings, the depth of appellations in both the Premier and Grand Crus is astounding. Overall, the domaine counts sixteen hectares encompassing 50 parcels, across 17 appellations in both white and red. 

Benoit planted 0.15 hectares worth of Chardonnay in the Morey-Saint-Denis vineyards Clos Solon and Les Seuvrees between 2007 and 2011 in order to be able to produce an additional white wine. Fermented and aged entirely in barrels but with none new, it displays the broad-shouldered character and rich body typical of the seldom-encountered white wines of the Côte de Nuits, with notes of ripe apple and almond, and admirable concentration. 

Enjoy Georges Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis Blanc with steamers, grilled sausages, roast chicken, grilled halibut, lobster salad and cheeses—chèvre, Beaufort, Comté and Emmental.
