Rodolphe Le Meunier | Tommette Brûlée | Basque Sheep's Milk Cheese | France | Priced per ounce

There are many semi-firm sheep's milk cheeses from the mountainous Basque country of southern France, but Tommette Brûlée is something apart. Several small dairies produce the little wheels, draining them for a few days before they are collected and brought to the cellars of famed affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier for further aging. There, the wheels are cleaned and turned for three to four months to ensure even, unhurried maturation.

Once the Tommette reaches ideal ripeness, Rodolphe's team torches the rind — adding a touch of caramelized sweetness and a burnished, deeply appealing exterior. The result is irresistible: silky, yielding paste with flavors of roasted cashews, brown butter, and tortilla chips, wrapped in a rind that carries the faintest whisper of smoke and caramel.

Melt slices over toast for a deeply comforting snack, or drizzle cubes with honey and peppery olive oil for an addictive appetizer. Either way, it disappears fast.

• Origin: Basque Country, France
• Milk: Sheep's milk, semi-firm
• Affineur: Rodolphe Le Meunier
• Aging: 3–4 months, torch-finished rind
• Flavor: Roasted cashews, brown butter, tortilla chips, caramel

Rodolphe Le Meunier Crémeux des Cîteaux — Burgundy, France | 7oz

Rodolphe Le Meunier is one of France’s most celebrated affineurs — a Meilleur Ouvrier de France whose name on a cheese is a guarantee of exceptional quality and care. The Crémeux des Cîteaux is his triple-crème masterpiece: a sumptuous, cloud-like fresh cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk enriched with crème fraîche, inspired by the monastic cheesemaking traditions of the Cîteaux Abbey in Burgundy. Silky, light, and impossibly smooth, it is one of the most luxurious fresh cheeses in the world — and at 7oz, it is the perfect size for a dinner party or an indulgent evening at home.

The texture is pure silk: cloud-soft and yielding, with a clean, fresh milky aroma and the faintest hint of cultured cream. On the palate, it is rich and luscious without being heavy, with a delicate tang and a long, buttery finish. It melts on the tongue and leaves you wanting more.

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger, 67Gourmet — “If you look for a light, fresh cheese for the whole family — from toddlers to grandma — then Crémeux des Cîteaux is for you. Silky and light, simply very smooth cheese. Here you get the full taste of what a fresh artisanal cheese made from selected milk can give.”

• Affineur: Rodolphe Le Meunier (Meilleur Ouvrier de France), Burgundy, France
• Style: Triple-crème fresh cheese
• Milk: Pasteurized cow’s milk
• Size: 7oz (200g)
• Tasting Notes: Cloud-soft, silky, fresh cream, delicate tang, long buttery finish
• Best Paired With: Smoked salmon, Iberico ham, fig jam, honey, crusty baguette, Champagne, Chablis, or a light Pinot Noir
• Also Try: Spread on crostini, layer on finger food, or serve simply with jam and a crack of black pepper

A triple-crème from France’s greatest affineur — Crémeux des Cîteaux is the benchmark for what fresh cheese can be.

Bliss.  Pure, unadulterated bliss.  Yes, we're talking about a butter, but the RLM Beurre de Baratte is a butter like no other.  Smooth, creamy and sweet with big chunks to salt.  It's a cheat code to melt into pasta, atop grilled proteins or in popcorn, but seriously, all you really need is a spoon.  

Pair it with a Jura Chardonnay (yeah, really!)

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger

Roederer Estate · Brut NV · Anderson Valley · California

Roederer Estate is the California outpost of Louis Roederer — the legendary Champagne house behind Cristal — and it has long been not only one of California’s biggest sparkling wine producers, but one of its very best. Planted in the cool, fog-influenced Anderson Valley of Mendocino County, the estate grows Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in terroir that produces wines of genuine freshness and elegance. The Brut NV is a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, aged two years on the lees, with a significant portion of oak-aged reserve wine adding richness and complexity. Dosage: 7.5 g/L. Rated 94 points by Decanter, 93 by Wine Spectator, and named #2 Wine Spectator Top Ten Value of 2024.

The Estate Brut opens with aromas of baked apple, pie crust, toasted cashews, almonds, and biscuit with flinty touches. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied — rounded and creamy with bright lemony character, seashell minerality, and a long, mineral-driven finish. More herbal and textural than Champagne, with a good Champagne’s freshness and elegance. As the New York Times put it: “It doesn’t taste like Champagne. It’s more herbal, less mineral, but it’s got a good Champagne’s freshness and elegance.”

Expert Reviews

Roederer Estate Brut Rosé NV Anderson Valley

When Louis Roederer — the Champagne house behind Cristal — established Roederer Estate in California's Anderson Valley in 1982, they chose the region for a reason: its cool, fog-driven climate, elevated acidity, and distinctive soils offered the conditions to make world-class sparkling wine with genuine Old World character. The Brut Rosé is the estate’s most expressive non-vintage bottling — a wine that consistently overdelivers at its price point and has earned a devoted following among sparkling wine lovers.

The multi-vintage blend is 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay, with 10–15% oak-aged reserve wines from the estate’s cellars adding depth and complexity. Disgorged in May 2023 with a dosage of 8 g/L. The result is a wine of delightful precision: fully balanced between red fruit and acidity, with a rounded mid-palate, enduring finesse to the mousse, and the structure to age through 2035 and beyond.

Gorgeous salmon-pink in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of yeasty brioche, fresh raspberry, strawberry, white tea, and spiced orange zest. The palate is firm and focused, with dried raspberry, orange blossom, cranberry, dried rose petal, and mint, gliding into supple orange cream and white grapefruit on a dry, refreshing finish. Graceful, dynamic, and endlessly versatile.

Jeb Dunnuck — 94 pts

“Gorgeously pretty in a salmon hue… delightfully precise in nature, fully balanced between red fruit and acidity, with a rounded mid-palate and enduring finesse to the mousse. The acidity and structure are solidly impressive and should give the wine plenty of time to age through 2035, if not beyond.” — Virginie Boone

Wine Enthusiast — 93 pts

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023 

Vinous 92 Points | The 2023 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) is a good bit lighter and brighter than last year, unsurprising given the conditions of this long, cool growing season. Layers of rose petal, sweet black cherry, asphalt, crushed rocks and blood orange unfurl in a nicely focused, elegant wine with sweet tannins and a sexy finish.

James Suckling 92 Points | A racy beam of acidity runs through raspberries, cranberries and red cherries. That mouthwatering fruit is wrapped up in anise, grilled sage and tilled earth. Balanced, rich and full of life. Drink or hold.

Rombauer Vineyards · Sauvignon Blanc · Napa & Sonoma Counties · California · 2025

Rombauer Vineyards has long been synonymous with California’s most hedonistic whites — and their Sauvignon Blanc, affectionately known as “California Sunshine in a Glass,” is no exception. Sourced from two estate vineyards in Sonoma prized for freshness and vibrancy, blended with select warmer sites in Napa County, the wine is farmed sustainably with NDVI aerial imaging to optimize each block individually. Whole-cluster pressed, fermented primarily in stainless steel with a portion in French oak and concrete for texture, and bottled under screwcap to lock in every bit of its aromatic intensity. 91 points from James Suckling.

The 2025 was shaped by a long, cool growing season — heavy winter rains replenishing the water table, followed by slow, even ripening through a cool spring and summer — yielding a wine of exceptional freshness and aromatic precision. Pale lemon-green in the glass, it bursts with key lime, freshly cut grass, grapefruit, stone fruit, and lychee. The palate is mid-weighted with brilliant acidity, a textured mouthfeel, and a linear, bright, mouthwatering finish that keeps you reaching for the next sip.

“Generous, fresh and vibrant, with white pepper, stone fruit, lychee and sliced lemon. The palate is mid-weighted with balanced acidity and textured mouthfeel with a linear, bright finish and freshness.”

Ron del Barrilito · Two Stars · Calidad Extra · Aged Rum · Puerto Rico · 750ml

Ron del Barrilito is Puerto Rico's most storied rum — a family-made spirit produced at the Hacienda Santa Ana in Bayamón, where the Fernandez family has been aging rum in small oak barrels since 1880. Unlike the large industrial producers that dominate the Caribbean rum category, Ron del Barrilito is made in tiny quantities using traditional methods: aged for a minimum of three years in ex-Oloroso sherry casks, bottled by hand, and released without chill filtration or artificial coloring. The Two Stars “Calidad Extra” is the entry point into the Barrilito range — and it is already a rum of remarkable character and complexity. At $31.99, this is one of the most authentic and underappreciated spirits in the category.

Natural bronze in the glass with a warm, inviting nose of dried plum, almond, apricot, and vanilla, layered with subtle smoky and woody notes from the sherry cask aging. On the palate: light-to-medium bodied and beautifully balanced, with caramelized fruit, sugar cane sweetness, and a delicate, lasting oak finish that lingers long after the glass is empty. Exceptional neat or on the rocks; also outstanding in a classic rum cocktail — a Daiquiri, Old Fashioned, or simply with a splash of soda water.

• Producer: Ron del Barrilito · Fernandez Family (est. 1880, Bayamón)
• Expression: Two Stars · Calidad Extra
• Origin: Puerto Rico
• Aging: Minimum 3 years · Ex-Oloroso sherry oak barrels
• ABV: 43% (86 Proof)
• Style: Aged Caribbean rum · Light-to-medium bodied
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Dried plum, almond, apricot, vanilla, caramelized fruit, sugar cane, smoky oak, lasting finish
• Serve: Neat · On the rocks · Daiquiri · Rum Old Fashioned · Soda water

Family-made since 1880, sherry-cask aged — Puerto Rico's most authentic rum.

Producer Description 

This rum is a decadent blend of rums from 6 to 24 years old, extra-aged in an assortment of double charred American oak and Pedro Ximénez wine casks.

• Appearance - Profound mahogany with an intense copper tone.
• Nose - Caramelised fruit, plum, raisins, chocolate and spices. A high intensity rum, perfectly balanced with smooth smoky notes.
• Palate - Zacapa Negra is a rich, dark rum with smokey intensity, revealing accentuated woody, spicy and dense fruity notes in the liquid, and a unique and magical finish.
• Serving suggestions - Enjoy neat or on the rocks in Zacapa's tumbler.

Producer Description 

This is first-class Guatemalan rum is made from virgin sugar cane honey--the first press of the sugar cane that's boiled down to thicken--rather than molasses, which is a byproduct of the sugar-making process. 

This results in a finer, sweeter, smoother rum. Aged in the solera method, like Sherry, the Zacapa Centenario is very dark--mahogony with coppery tints--and has a clove, cocoa, cinnamon and orange peel-scented nose.

The palate is sweet and smooth, with cocoa, orange and honey flavors and a sensuous, viscous texture. It finishes long and smooth. 

The 1999 Ciallabianco adds some secondary notes of hazelnut and almond skin to the pear and lemon curd notes it had in its youth. This wine has spent its entire life in the cellar at the winery and so is in pristine condition; still has vibrant acidity and tremendous focus.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

James Suckling 97 Points | So pretty, charming and elegant, with floral aromas, light tannins and quiet vibrancy. Fresh raspberries, sour cherries, red cherries, rose petals and minerals give it complexity and appeal. Finesse, nerve and great balance. Drink now or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points | A bright red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Roserock Zephirine offers focused and expressive notes of wild raspberries, framboise, rosy perfume, and sweet herbs. Medium-bodied, it has ripe tannins and an approachable feel, with its underlying mineral focus shining through the midpalate and finish. It’s delicious now but will only improve over the next 6-7 years and drink well over the coming 15 years.

Vinous 93 Points | The 2023 Pinot Noir Zéphirine wafts up with an understated blend of dried flowers, spiced citrus and wild strawberries. A stern mineral core and brisk acidity enliven the tart wild berry fruits. Youthful tension pinches at the cheeks, leaving angular tannins and admirable freshness.

On the sun-warmed shores of the Neusiedlersee in Burgenland, Hannes Schuster tends his organically farmed vineyards with quiet conviction. Sankt Laurent — an ancient variety thought to be a crossing related to Pinot Noir, native to this corner of Austria — finds one of its most honest expressions here. The Klassik is exactly what its name promises: focused, unadorned, and deeply satisfying.

The 2022 arrives brimming with red cherry and wild berry fruit, carrying the earthy, mineral-rich signature of the St. Margarethen soils. The palate is barely medium-bodied yet anything but thin — silky tannins, lively acidity, and a delicate spice thread keep each sip animated through to a long, clean finish. At just 11% alcohol, it drinks with effortless elegance.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged one year in used 500-liter Stockinger barrels, this is a wine made without shortcuts. Drink slightly chilled as an aperitif, or alongside mushroom dishes, charcuterie, roast chicken, or duck confit.

RouteStock · Chardonnay · Sonoma Coast · California · 2024 · 750ml

RouteStock is a Sonoma-based label built around a simple idea: source from the best sites, let the fruit speak, and keep the price honest. The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay draws from two consistent vineyard sources — one in the Petaluma Gap AVA, known for its cool, wind-driven conditions and naturally high acidity, and one located just 1.5 miles from the Pacific coast, where the marine influence is felt in every cluster. The result is a Chardonnay that leans into freshness and precision rather than weight and oak — bright, complex, and genuinely food-friendly. Sealed with a screw cap to preserve every bit of that coastal aromatics. At $23.99, this is Sonoma Coast Chardonnay at a price that makes it a weeknight staple.

Brilliant light straw in the glass with a beguiling, aromatic nose of Gravenstein apple, wild sage, Meyer lemon, and a lift of lemongrass — unmistakably Chardonnay, unmistakably coastal. On the palate: bright and racy, with a beautiful array of apple, tarragon, toasted nuts, and lemongrass, carried by a lovely richness that stays fresh and lifted through a long, lingering finish. Complex, inviting, and vibrant from first pour to last. Pair with roast chicken, grilled halibut, pasta with cream sauce, or a simple plate of soft cheeses.

RouteStock | Pinot Noir | Sonoma Coast AVA | California | 2023

RouteStock is a California label built around the idea that great wine should be accessible — that world-class terroir doesn’t have to come with a world-class price tag. Their Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir draws from one of California’s most celebrated cool-climate appellations, where Pacific fog and coastal winds push grapes to their expressive limits. The 2023 is a textbook example of what makes this region so compelling: complexity, tension, and a savory depth that punches well above its price.

The nose is brooding and aromatic — dried herbs, toasted hazelnuts, blood orange peel, and a whisper of lavender. On the palate, bright red-cherry acidity and crunchy minerality frame an appealing umami core, with flavors of shiitake mushroom, bay laurel, brambly berries, and cooked red and blackberries woven through with woodsy spice. Rich and complex, yet bright and inviting — a Sonoma Coast Pinot that delivers far beyond its price point.

RouteStock · Sauvignon Blanc · Napa Valley · California · 2024

RouteStock is the fine wine project of Wilson Daniels, Napa’s storied importer — and it is built on a simple premise: take the best varietals and source them from the best appellations. For Sauvignon Blanc, that means Napa Valley, specifically the cooler southern end of the valley where the San Pablo Bay breezes keep temperatures in check and preserve the grape’s natural aromatic lift. Now in its ninth consecutive vintage from the same two growers in Carneros and Rutherford, RouteStock Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of genuine complexity — triple-fermented across stainless steel, concrete egg, and neutral French oak — that consistently over-delivers at its price point.

The 2024 is bright and expressive, with high-toned aromas of wild thyme, sage, cantaloupe rind, hay, and ruby red grapefruit. On the palate, it is racy and crisp yet surprisingly deep — cantaloupe, pear, sage, and fig coat the mouth with texture and length. The concrete egg and neutral oak add amplitude without obscuring the wine’s essential freshness. A wine equally at home on the back porch or at the dinner table.

Tasting Notes

A dry, structured Wachau Riesling of great mineral character and pleasing freshness. Defined by high levels of dry extract from a lengthy ripening period and vibrant acidity driven by dramatic day-to-night temperature swings, this is a Riesling of real depth, precision, and aging potential.

About the Wine

Rudi Pichler is one of the Wachau's most respected producers, farming steep, southwest-facing terraces of meager primary rock soils that stress the vines and concentrate flavor. The Smaragd classification — the highest ripeness level in the Wachau — signals a wine of exceptional body and complexity. The Terrassen bottling draws from these dramatic hillside sites, delivering a wine that is simultaneously powerful and elegant.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with river fish, Wiener Schnitzel, roasted pork, and aged hard cheeses. Also exceptional on its own as a contemplative sipping wine.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Vinous 94 Points | The 2022 Riesling Terrassen Smaragd is from 20- to 60-year-old vines planted on higher parcels at 250-350 meters. The nose has something of an eau de Cologne sense, with its conifer and citrus spice. The palate is super slender, very linear and uncompromisingly fresh, without a suspicion of fat or any opulence. This treads a thin line on perfect tiptoe. There is a weightless quality here. This is brimming with lemon and utterly fresh.

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | With fullness to the lychee, green plum and quince flavors, this delicious, mouthcoating and salty white is laced with baking spice notes. Stays elegant and well-defined despite its plump profile, offering zesty clementine acidity, with dried sage and fresh-cut grass notes bringing a savory dimension. Drink now through 2032.

Winemaker Description 

Wachau Riesling is dry and often defined by high levels of dry extract (due to a lengthy ripening period) and a pleasing freshness (due to dramatic temperature swings between day and night). Soils of primary rock from various terraced sites give this dry Riesling subtle minerality accompanied by aromas and flavors of citrus and stone fruit.

Riesling’s high acidity makes it one of the most versatile wines at the table. Riesling can be used to cut the fattiness of foods such as pork or sausages and can tame a certain amount of saltiness. Conversely, it can highlight foods such as fish or vegetables in the same way a squeeze of lemon or a vinaigrette can.

Rudi Pichler is among the elite growers of the Wachau producing wines of precision, power, and longevity. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling make up 95% of the production with the remaining 5% shared between Weißburgunder and Roter Veltliner. Rudi Pichler belongs to the prestigious Vinea Wachau and vinifies under the strict parameters of their codex.

Yields are kept low between 30 and 35 hectoliters per hectare with botrytis carefully removed by hand.  Grapes are crushed by foot and receive between three and 36 hours of maceration on the skins. Vinification is entirely in stainless-steel tanks and malolactic fermentation is avoided.

Weingut Rudi Pichler consists of 37 acres spread between Wösendorf, Joching, and Weißenkirchen where south-facing terraces look down at the Danube River. Terrassen indicates it is a cuvée from multiple terraced sites. Smaragd is a term used by Vinea Wachau members indicating a dry wine with a minimum alcohol of 12.5%.

Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro — Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, Tuscany 2021

Ruffino is one of Tuscany’s most storied and historic estates — a winery whose Riserva Ducale Oro holds a singular place in Italian wine history. In 1927, the inaugural Riserva Ducale vintage was crafted as a homage to the wine-loving Duke of Aosta. Two decades later, in 1947, Ruffino commemorated an exceptional vintage by introducing the Riserva Ducale Oro — heralding the concept of Gran Selezione ahead of its time and creating what would become the world’s most recognized Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. Today, one out of every three bottles of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione opened in the world is a Riserva Ducale Oro. The 2021 earned 95 Points from James Suckling and 90 Points from Wine Enthusiast, and is matched only by its potential for decades of aging.

The nose is complex and distinctive: red cherries, violet, blackberry, plum, eucalyptus, licorice, and balsamic nuances, with old leather, wild herbs, pepper, and intriguing notes of cinnamon, clove, chocolate, and coffee. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lush with dense, velvety tannins, gleaming flavors of blackberry, bergamot, and wild mint, crisp yet integrated acidity, and a long, peppery, savory finish. It is elegant, precise, and deeply satisfying — a Gran Selezione built for the cellar but impossible to resist now.

"An elegant and forthright Gallo Nero with a precise nose of red cherries, eucalyptus and licorice with balsamic nuances. A lush and supple palate with a full body and dense, velvety tannins that are precise and spicy. Crisp yet integrated acidity in the finish. Savory aftertaste. Drink or hold." — James Suckling, 95 Points. (Vintage 2021). 

"The nose opens savory, with aromas of old leather, hot tar, wild herbs and pepper, then adds the sweetness of dark berries and cherries. Gleaming flavors of blackberries, bergamot and wild mint define the palate, before that bitter citrus element ignites into a peppery heat on the finish." — Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points. (Vintage 2021).

Producer Notes

With the desire to bring the best of Tuscany to wine lovers worldwide, Ruffino has contributed significantly to the fine image Italian winemaking holds on the international scene today. The Riserva Ducale Tan Label is their benchmark Chianti Classico Riserva — a wine of great complexity that expresses authentic Sangiovese character. Intense aromas of cherry, plum, and violet open the bouquet, fading gracefully into tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon, and spicy black pepper. Full-bodied and powerful on the palate with elegant tannins perfectly supported by good acidity. The finish is long and complex, with sweet tobacco and powerful notes of plum and clove.
