Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Maremma Toscana 2022 750ml
Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo — Maremma Toscana 2022
Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo is a Tuscan “Super Value,” crafted from a single-vineyard site in the Alta Maremma.
Poggio al Tufo is the Maremma estate of Tommasi Family Estates, one of Italy's most respected multi-generational wine families. Situated in the Alta Maremma near Pitigliano, the estate takes its name from the volcanic tufo rock that defines its soils — porous, mineral-rich, and unlike anything found in the more celebrated corners of Tuscany. The Rompicollo vineyard sits on a south-facing slope where the combination of volcanic soils, Mediterranean warmth, and coastal breezes produces wines of uncommon depth and freshness for the price.
The 2022 Rompicollo is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon — a Tuscan-international marriage that works beautifully here. The Sangiovese brings structure, acidity, and that characteristic Tuscan earthiness; the Cabernet adds body, dark fruit, and a plush mid-palate that rounds out the blend. The result is a wine that punches well above its price point: serious, food-friendly, and immediately approachable.
Deep, bright ruby in the glass. The nose is elegant and layered — ripe blackberries and raspberries, dried aromatic herbs, a whisper of sweet spice, and the faint mineral signature of volcanic soil. On the palate it is full-bodied and mellow, with velvety tannins, a mouth-filling texture, and a finish that lingers with dark fruit and earthy warmth. Richly flavored yet supple — a wine that rewards both the casual weeknight table and the more considered dinner.

Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022 750ml
Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon — Napa Valley 2022
Freemark Abbey is one of Napa Valley’s most historic estates — a winery with roots stretching back to 1886 and a reputation built on classic, terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker Kristy Melton sources from a diverse portfolio of estate vineyards and carefully selected purchased fruit across multiple Napa appellations and elevations — including the legendary Bosché Vineyard, Orchard Vineyard, Red Hen Vineyard, Colline, Henrickson, Carpenter, Red Barn Ranch, Castle Rock, and Atalon — to craft a wine that is classic, balanced, and genuinely complex. The 2022 vintage produced approximately 11,000 cases, with a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot, aged 20 months in French oak with 47% new barrels. Harvest ran from August 13th through October 14th, 2022. Alcohol: 14.5%. pH: 3.66.
The color is a deep, concentrated ruby. The nose is classic and inviting: dark chocolate, black forest fruits, oak spices, leather, and cedar, with bright aromas of ripe cherries and sunny strawberries adding lift and freshness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and soft — blueberry compote, espresso, olive, dried herbs, and black pepper, with fresh red currants and light baking spices woven through a velvety, well-structured mid-palate. The tannins are integrated and approachable, making it enjoyable now while remaining capable of cellaring well for years to come.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Decanter — 92 Points (Jonathan Cristaldi, Jul 2025)
James Suckling — 92 Points
“Bright aromas, ripe flavors, a full body but rather light tannins give this wine an easy drinkability. Red cherries and sunny strawberries on the nose, then a palate of good acidity with fresh red currants and light baking spices. Drink or hold.”Wine Advocate — 90 Points
“Cedar and mocha shadings accent ripe cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is soft and velvety. Forward and probably not meant for the cellar, this is still a tasty wine, with just a hint of dried fruit on the finish.”

Vincent Cuillier L'Arbre Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature Disgorged 2022
About L’Arbre
L’Arbre is Vincent Cuillier’s most personal wine — a single-parcel Champagne from Les Voyets, the family’s most historic vineyard in the Marne village of Pouillon. The name “L’Arbre” (The Tree) is a direct nod to Cuillier’s extensive work planting trees and cultivating biodiversity across the estate through natural viticulture and vitiforestry.
Made exclusively as a zero-dosage vintage Champagne from 100% Pinot Meunier, this is a wine of remarkable depth and precision — a testament to Cuillier’s deft hand in both the vines and the cellar.
Tasting Notes
Plump, forward berry fruit — red cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of brioche — kept in elegant check by crisp acidity and fine, complex mineral-driven lines. The zero dosage reveals the wine’s true character: pure, taut, and long on the finish. A Blanc de Noirs of genuine cellar-worthiness.
In the Cellar
Indigenous yeast fermentation in small stainless steel tanks, followed by a full year of tank aging. This vintage cuvée spends the requisite 36 months sur lattes before being hand-disgorged with zero dosage. No fining, no filtration.
Food Pairings
- Oysters, sea urchin, and raw shellfish
- Charcuterie, aged ham, and mushroom dishes
- Soft-ripened cheeses (Brie, Camembert)
- Roasted chicken or guinea fowl
About Vincent Cuillier

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri 2023 750ml
The Original Super Tuscan — Sassicaia at Its Most Compelling
No wine better defines the Super Tuscan movement than Sassicaia. Created by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta in the 1940s and first commercially released in 1968, Sassicaia pioneered the use of Cabernet Sauvignon on the Tuscan coast and forever changed the landscape of Italian fine wine. The 2022 vintage from Tenuta San Guido is a structured, cellar-worthy expression — tightly coiled, concentrated, and built for the long haul, with the hallmark Sassicaia tension between power and elegance that rewards patience above all else.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
- James Suckling — 98 pts: "Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. A structured wine for the cellar."
- Decanter — 97 pts: "Tightly coiled and concentrated, with a fascinating tension between the weight of raspberry, blackberry and strawberry coulis fruit and the wine’s verticality. Lovely mid-palate sapidity allied to fresh acidity and fine but dense tannins. A dark horse of a Sassicaia that will greatly reward those who can cellar it for 12 years and more."
- Jeb Dunnuck — 97+ pts: "A deeper aromatic profile of rosemary, gravelly earth, sage, mossy earth, and fresh black cherries. More plushness on the mid-palate, while its acidity shines through on the finish. Will need several years to shed its baby fat and show its full potential."
- Wine Advocate — 97 pts: "A beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet."
- Vinous — 94 pts: "Dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, graphite and incense give the 2022 striking aromatic presence to match its rather brooding personality."
Winemaker Notes
Sassicaia Bolgheri 2022 750ml
Produced by Tenuta San Guido from estate vineyards in Bolgheri, the 2022 Sassicaia underwent shorter macerations than typical, with 23 months of aging in wood (vs. the more typical 24–25 months) to maximize freshness in a warm vintage. The result is a wine of extraordinary depth — Mediterranean herbs, red and black fruit, graphite minerality, and a long, structured finish that demands cellaring.

- Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
- Appellation: Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC, Tuscany
- Producer: Tenuta San Guido

San Marzano Anniversario 62 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2019 750ml
Discover the Richness of Primitivo di Manduria
Expert Review - Vintage 2019
James Suckling - 91 Points | A spiced nose of dark berries, smoked herbs and hints of mushrooms and moist earth. Full-bodied, dense and plush, with firm tannins and rich, almost sweet berry character.
Memo Summary Notes
The San Marzano "Anniversario 62" Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2019 is an iconic, opulent red from Puglia that serves as a tribute to the winery's founding year. It is widely considered a benchmark for the region, known for its massive concentration, "noble" tannins, and a luxurious, velvety texture.
Why 62? The name commemorates 1962, the year 19 vine growers came together to found Cantine San Marzano. This Riserva is only made from their oldest, lowest-yielding bush vines, which results in much higher flavor concentration than standard Primitivo.
Because of its richness and hint of sweetness, it needs bold flavors to stand up to it:
-
Meats: Slow-cooked beef short ribs, venison with a berry reduction, or grilled lamb chops.
-
Italian Classics: Orecchiette with a spicy sausage and broccoli rabe ragu.
-
Indulgent: Dark chocolate desserts or a platter of extra-aged Pecorino and blue cheeses.
Experience the Taste of Primitivo
San Marzano Anniversario 62 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2019 showcases the exceptional quality of Primitivo grapes. This wine is full-bodied, offering rich fruit flavors, including notes of black cherry and plum. It has a smooth texture and balanced acidity, making it an ideal choice for both casual and formal occasions. People appreciate its versatility, as it pairs well with various dishes, from pasta to grilled meats.
Why Choose San Marzano Anniversario 62?
This particular vintage stands out not only for its taste but also for its meticulous production process. San Marzano winery is known for its commitment to quality, and the 2019 Riserva reflects that dedication. The grapes are carefully harvested and fermented, ensuring that the unique characteristics of the Primitivo grape shine through. Therefore, when you choose this wine, you're selecting a product with a rich heritage and a promise of exceptional quality.
An Ideal Wine for Every Occasion
Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or enjoying a quiet evening at home, San Marzano Primitivo di Manduria is the perfect companion. Because of its complexity and rich flavor profile, it can elevate any dining experience. Many wine lovers recommend serving it slightly below room temperature to enhance its aromatic qualities. So, if you’re looking for a memorable wine experience, consider the San Marzano Anniversario 62 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2019.
Clos Puy Arnaud Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2022 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Jane Anson 95 Points | Tasted at the Palmères de Castillon event, where I was a jury member, and this was one of the wines picked out blind. I checked it against a different bottle at home later, and suggest that it is given at least half an hour in a carafe, as it remains fairly closed, but once again this is proof of the quality of 2022, and it's a seriously impressive wine that offers wonderful value. I'm always a fan of Clos Puy Arnaud, and you get the deft precision of the winemaking here, coupled with ripe blueberry and raspberry fruits, liquorice, black tea, pomegranate and slate-scrape tannins.
Vinous 94 Points | The 2022 Clos Puy Arnaud is a dense, extroverted wine. Inky dark fruit, licorice, menthol and cloves are all amplified. Usually Clos Puy Arnaud is more refined, but in 2022, the vintage dominates and speaks loudly. Even so, this is a compelling offering. I look forward to tasting it with bottle age.
The Wine Spectator 93 Points | Sleek and polished, with alluring notes of blackberry puree and warmed cassis that glide through, while fine-grained tannins, a buried chalky spine and a gilding of sweet tobacco add range and length. Shows a mouthwatering floral echo at the end.
Memo Summary Notes
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2022 Clos Puy Arnaud is a standout release from the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, largely considered one of the best "value" wines of this highly acclaimed vintage. Produced by Thierry Valette (whose family famously once owned Château Pavie), this estate is a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture on Bordeaux's Right Bank.
The 2022 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by extreme heat, but Clos Puy Arnaud’s limestone plateau location helped maintain remarkable freshness.
Velich Darscho Chardonnay 2021 750ml
Expert Review — Vintage 2021
Vinous 94 Points | Pure Chardonnay from vines around 25 years old. The bright energy hits you with the first sniff — lift, brightness, and something immensely citric and pervasive. Exquisite shape: it glides and moves with agility, like a drop of liquid rolling across plumage — always entire, rounded, shining, smooth and mobile. The finish sinks into soil, draws you in, seasons the tongue with saltiness and floors you with incredible equanimity. Endless, profound, and ineffable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine
Velich Darscho is named after a smaller lake in the village near the estate in Burgenland, Austria. The fruit comes from vineyards that are 35–50 years old — significantly older than the Vinous note suggests (which references 25-year-old vines), reflecting the depth and complexity in the glass. This is Velich’s step up from the Tó cuvée, showing greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.
Tasting & Pairings
Bright citrus energy, saltiness, soil-driven minerality, and an ineffably long finish. Bone-dry with exquisite shape and agility. Serve lightly chilled — this rewards patience in the glass as it opens.
- Roasted lobster or langoustines with brown butter — the wine’s richness and salinity are a perfect match.
- Roasted chicken with tarragon and crème fraîche — classic Chardonnay territory elevated by the wine’s minerality.
- Aged Comté or Gruyère — nutty, hard cheeses complement the wine’s depth and saline finish.

Decanter - 91 Points
"Earlier harvest to preserve acidity from this estate with gravel soils but thankfully cooler clays as well, resulting in an easy-going wine not without some warmth, but marked by ripe pear, peach, orange zest and lemon, more fruit forward than complex – and a pleasure to drink."

Douloufakis Winery Vidiano Crete 2024 750ml
Douloufakis Winery Vidiano — Crete, Greece 2024
Douloufakis Winery is one of Crete's most celebrated family estates, based in the Dafnes appellation in the heart of the island and dedicated to championing Crete's extraordinary indigenous grape varieties. Vidiano is their signature white — a rare, ancient Cretan variety that nearly disappeared in the 20th century and has been lovingly revived by passionate producers like Douloufakis. Aromatic, full-bodied, and distinctly Mediterranean in character, it is one of Greece's most exciting white grapes and a wine that consistently surprises those who discover it for the first time.
Pale golden in the glass with a beautifully expressive nose: ripe peach and apricot are dominant, with traces of quince and delicate floral notes of chamomile, jasmine, and fresh herbs. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with the same generous fruit character, well-balanced acidity, and a fine, lingering finish. Elegant, aromatic, and built for the table.

Vinedos y Bodegas Faustino V Rioja Reserva 2018 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018
The Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | This dark ruby-colored wine offers aromas of Luxardo cherry and toasted baking spices. It is very spicy at first sip as flavors of clove and mint leaf with a touch of black pepper hit the taste buds, followed by blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors. Muscular tannins are balanced out by well-integrated acidity that stays around for a while.
James Suckling 92 Points | Juicy and expressive Rioja with some dark spices, black earth and a hint of peppercorn to the cherries and plums. Fresh and bright on the palate with a medium body rounded by fine-grained tannins. Succulent and long. Consistent quality. The first year that there is some maturana in the blend. Drink now, but can hold well, too.
Memo Summary Notes
Food Pairings: Highly versatile. Pairs perfectly with grilled meats, roasted lamb, hearty stews, mushrooms, cured ham (Jamón Ibérico), and medium-aged cheeses.
Val di Suga Rosso di Montalcino 2023 750ml
Val di Suga · Rosso di Montalcino DOC · Tuscany · Italy · 2023
Val di Suga is one of Montalcino’s most storied estates, dating to the 1960s and the only producer making three single-vineyard Brunellos from three distinct terroirs: Vigna del Lago in the northeast, Vigna Spuntali in the southwest, and Poggio al Granchio in the southeast. The Rosso di Montalcino draws from younger vines across all three — approximately 40% Vigna del Lago, 30% Poggio al Granchio, and 30% Vigna Spuntali — blending the microclimate diversity of the estate into a single, earlier-drinking expression of Sangiovese Grosso. Aged six months in large Slavonian oak, it is the approachable face of Val di Suga’s Brunello pedigree.
The 2023 vintage in Montalcino was defined by a well-balanced growing season — mild spring, warm summer moderated by ventilation and timely rainfall, and no extreme heat peaks — yielding Sangiovese of exceptional clarity, harmony, and freshness. The Rosso opens with a lively nose of red berry fruits, cherries, redcurrants, and a whisper of spice. On the palate, it is full and plush with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a juicy, lingering finish. Bright, expressive, and built for the table.

Nicosia Monte Gorna Etna Bianco 2023 750ml
Warehouse stored item - please allow one to three business days to fulfill.
The Nicosia “Cru” wines of Etna come from the Monte Gorna estate, located in the Trecastagni area, very close to the wine cellar. A red and a white wine, made with organic grapes, that authentically represent the great expression that this terroir and its native vines can offer.
These DOC wines are the demonstration that on the volcano each slope, each area, each vineyard can produce wines with different characteristics, giving unique and unrepeatable sensations. The composition of the eruptive materials gave life to composite soils, often made up small sized pumice stones, known as "ripiddu", found mostly on extinguished volcanic cones such as Monte Gorna; thier elevated drainage capacity and their wealth of potassium paly an important role in balancing the grape's maturation process.
Even the climate distinguishes the Etna area respect to the rest of Sicily. The average temperatures on the mountains are lower and the climate also changes depending on the slope and the alyitude.
From a winemaking standpoint, the wine diurnal temperature range is fundamental, as it gives the wines their goog freshness and elegant aromas.
Carricante is an indigenous white grape cultivated exclusively on Etna and its name refers to the plant considerable productivity. In fact, the name Carricante refres to a "plant full of fruits".

The Marcel Lapierre Morgon Cuvée S Organic 2024 is a fantastic expression of Morgon, one of the Beaujolais Crusin France. The Morgon appellation is known for its rich, more structured wines compared to other Beaujolais wines, thanks to the granitic soils and the unique character of the Gamay grape.

Expert Review
Neal Martin writes: The 2024 Morgon that I tasted from barrel came from the first and third pickings. There is plenty of vivacious white-tipped strawberry and Morello cherry on the nose. The palate is lively and very citrus-driven with red cherries, orange zest, noticeably "punchy" acidity and a chalky finish. - Vinous 90-92

Ameztoi Rubentis Txakolina Rose 2025 750ml
Ameztoi Rubentis Txakolina Rosé — Getariako Txakolina, Basque Country 2025
Rosé Txakoli is a rare thing — very few producers in the Basque Country have ventured into it, and Ameztoi's Rubentis is widely regarded as the benchmark. Made from a balanced blend of the two native Basque grapes — Hondarrabi Zuri (white) and Hondarrabi Beltza (red) — grown on the steep, terraced hillsides above the Bay of Biscay in Getaria, Rubentis is a wine of genuine originality: a rosé that maintains all the hallmarks of great Txakoli — racy acidity, fine natural carbonation, and Atlantic freshness — while adding the aromatic lift and color of the red grape.
The 2025 pours a pale pink with shades of fuchsia and a fine, elegant bead. The nose is fine and sophisticated — citrus, menthol, and a delicate floral lift. On the palate, it's harmonious and refreshing, with a bright acidity and a distinctive note of strawberry sour caramel that makes it unlike any other rosé on the shelf. Serve well-chilled and pour with a slight splash to release the carbonation — the traditional Basque way.
"A surprising and delicious creation that maintains the acidity, freshness, and fine carbonation characteristic of Txakoli — one of the rare rosés of the Basque Country." — Ameztoi

Francois Chidaine Touraine Organic Rose 2025 750ml
Winemaker Description
Produced from equal parts Pinot Noir and Grolleau, the fruit for this wine comes from Chidaine’s estate-grown, biodynamically farmed vineyards located just north of the Cher River between the villages of Montrichard and Chissay-en-Touraine.
The nose of gooseberries with floral notes is followed by a medium-full wine with a chalky texture. Excellent acidity and beautiful tension bring up the solid mineral core. Very refreshing but surprisingly complex — a perennial favorite where supply never meets demand.
Our Notes
A leader in the Loire Valley for organic and biodynamic wine production. This terrific rosé — 50% Pinot Noir, 50% Grolleau — is made from organically farmed estate fruit. Floral nose with hints of currants, excellent acidity, and a beautiful mineral core.
Bernie writes: My favorite rosé this summer. Pure fruit flavors that cleanse your palate with absolutely fresh feelings. This has to be one of the best Loire Rosés available this year! — 67 Wine
Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero 2022 750ml
Barolo's Most Elegant Single Cru — Monvigliero by Paolo Scavino
Paolo Scavino is one of Barolo's most revered producers, and the Monvigliero is the crown jewel of their single-vineyard lineup. Sourced from the stately Monvigliero vineyard in Verduno — widely regarded as the grand cru of the village — this cru was first bottled as a single vineyard wine in 2007 after the Scavino family purchased the site. Monvigliero is celebrated for its distinctly feminine character: floral, spicy, balsamic, and precise, with a finesse and aromatic complexity that sets it apart from the more powerful expressions of Barolo.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
- Jeb Dunnuck — 95 pts: "Moving north to Verduno, the 2022 Barolo Monvigliero pours a bright ruby hue and remains slightly reserved at this stage, revealing aromas of preserved cranberries, white peach, candied orange, baking spice, ripe apricot, and dried earth. Medium-bodied, it has a more linear feel, with focused acidity and well-defined tannins. Citrus notes lift the palate and carry through a refined finish." Rating: 95+
- James Suckling — 95 pts: "This wine shines with freshness and transparency, full of red currants, red cherries and intense violets against a meaty background. Lightly extracted and medium-bodied, showing crisp, brilliant acidity and velvety tannins. A touch of sternness in the tense, fragrant finish. Drinkable now but best from 2027."

Pazo de La Cuesta Brancellao Ribeira Sacra 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
One of the few 100% Brancellao wines from Ribeira Sacra, reminiscent of a wine from Burgundy, aged for six months in new French oak barrels, with the freshness and expressiveness of a little known variety with huge potential and great distinction.
Exceptional selection of the Brancellao grape from Pazo de La Cuesta’s historic vineyard. Manual harvesting followed by destemming and gravity-flow to the fermentation tanks. First, alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16-18oC, followed by malolactic fermentation, both in stainless steel tanks.

Clean and bright with a surprising colour. Very intense nose with complex red fruit, spices, and the characteristic coffee and cocoa notes of the terroir. This wine has a pleasant texture and is bold and complex in the mouth, well structured and intense on the palate and extremely fresh, which makes it appealing at any time of year.
