Exceptional Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 is a stunning expression from one of California's most prestigious wine regions. The vineyard name "Las Alturas" translates to "the heights," reflecting its elevated position on the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, reaching up to 1,200 feet. This lofty elevation creates a unique microclimate where sunny days meet cool coastal breezes, producing a wine that is robust, expressive, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced by firm acidity.

Expert Reviews & Critical Acclaim - Vintage 2022

Wine Enthusiast - 93 Points: "Deep and dark aromas of black cherry, sandalwood and incense make for a heady nose on this bottling. The palate is big and bold, loaded with ripe black cherry and boysenberry flavors, as peppery, incense-like spices add complexity and the texture stays lusciously creamy."

Artisanal Winemaking Process

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the grapes were harvested in the early morning to preserve vineyard-fresh flavors. After destemming without crushing, the berries underwent a two-week cold soak to soften skins and optimize extraction. Fermentation took place in a combination of closed and open-top stainless steel fermenters, using both punch-downs and pump-overs to extract color, tannins, and maximize flavors. The wine was aged in 100% French oak (60% new) for up to nine months, followed by malolactic fermentation and two rackings before final blending.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Experience

This wine displays a rich crimson color that hints at its depth and complexity. The nose opens with fragrant aromas of Bing cherry, dried fig, black cassis, and hints of rich dark chocolate, complemented by sandalwood and incense notes. On the palate, discover bold and elegant flavors of marionberry pie, boysenberry preserves, dark plum, and subtle mocha, with peppery spices adding layers of complexity. The lusciously creamy texture is balanced by beautiful acidity that carries through to a long, mouthwatering finish.

Perfect Food Pairings

Belle Glos Las Alturas Pinot Noir's versatility makes it an exceptional companion to a wide range of dishes. Pair it with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto for classic combinations. It also complements lamb chops, beef tenderloin, pork loin, wild game, or aged cheeses beautifully. For vegetarian options, try it with truffle pasta, eggplant parmesan, or roasted root vegetables. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a festive celebration, this wine elevates any culinary experience.

Santa Lucia Highlands Terroir

The Las Alturas Vineyard benefits from the exceptional terroir of the Santa Lucia Highlands, where elevation, diverse soil types, and coastal influence combine to create wines of remarkable complexity and depth. The vineyard is meticulously cared for, ensuring only the finest grapes make it into each bottle. This commitment to quality and the unique characteristics of the region result in a Pinot Noir that truly captures the essence of one of California's most celebrated wine-growing areas.

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.

• Producer: Poggio al Tufo (Tommasi Family Estates), Alta Maremma, Tuscany
• Vintage: 2022
• Appellation: Maremma Toscana DOC
• Blend: 60% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
• Size: 750ml

• Tasting Notes: Blackberry, raspberry, dried herbs, sweet spice, volcanic mineral
• Drink Window: Now–2027
• Best Paired With: Pasta Bolognese, grilled lamb, wild boar ragu, aged pecorino, charcuterie

Maremma's volcanic soils. Tommasi's generational craft. A Tuscan red that overdelivers at every pour.

Producer Description 

Yes, this black raspberry liqueur is crafted in the province of Chambord, at the site of a real French château, with the finest ingredients. And some do say that it was inspired by King Louis XIV’s chosen tipple.

Everything about Chambord is sensational. The intrigue begins with its opaque appearance and extremely deep, purple colour. The liqueur has a luxuriously textured, medium-weight body and a wafting herbal and fruit bouquet. Black raspberries, vanilla acacia honey, and fragrant herbs steeped in cognac. The semi-sweet palate is a lavish affair featuring raspberries, spice, herbs and a taste of honey. The flavours persist on the palate for a remarkably long finish.

Expert Review

91 Points Wine Enthusiast | Made with vanilla and a Cognac base, this liqueur has a muted plum hue and a rich, black cherry scent. The palate is lightly sweet and easy-sipping, with a warming, candied berry-cherry flavor. Sip or mix.

A Double Gold Medal winner at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, it is a gin of extraordinary complexity and elegance, layering citrus, flowers, exotic spice, and fresh herbs into a profile that is as nuanced as it is beautiful.

Fresh and intense on the nose, opening with juniper, yuzu, orange peel, candied lemon, violet, and fennel, softened by gentle spice and licorice. On the palate, the gin is very delicate with beautiful freshness — the floral nose gives way to a spicier, fruitier expression of tangerine, melon, and cubeb, evolving through angelica, nutmeg, orris root, and star anise. The finish is very long, floral and fruity, with citrus, almonds, cumin, savory, and grains of paradise lingering beautifully.

Christian Drouin Sélection Calvados — Coudray-Rabut, Normandy | 700ml

Christian Drouin is one of Normandy’s most celebrated Calvados houses — and the Sélection is its most approachable, versatile expression. Produced at the family estate in Coudray-Rabut in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, this Calvados achieves its signature harmony by combining the sharp freshness of perry pears with the smoothness of cider apples.

Producer Description 

G.E. Massenez Uses Only Choice, Ripe, Hand-Picked Fruit. Made From Wild Raspberries By Means Of A Proprietary Recipe. Massenez Framboise Sauvage or wild raspberry is a style of eau-de-vie that uses raspberries as the base distillate. 

They say it's noteworthy for its "delicacy" and "mirrors the fragility of the raspberry." Fruit eau-de-vie is generally a drier taste but with aromas and character that reminds intensely of the fruit. This Was Introduced By G. E. Massenez Back In The 1930s. Producer Description. 

Basil Hayden has always occupied a distinct corner of the Kentucky bourbon landscape: lighter in body, higher in rye, more refined than robust. Named for a Maryland distiller who brought his craft to Kentucky in the late 1700s, the brand has built its reputation on approachability without sacrificing character. Toast takes that philosophy a step further — a Kentucky Straight Bourbon finished in lightly toasted (rather than deeply charred) new oak barrels, a secondary maturation that coaxes a gentler, more nuanced layer of wood influence into the spirit. The result is a bourbon that feels like the warm end of a bonfire rather than the roar of it.

Dark amber in the glass. The nose is immediately inviting: toasted oak, dried fruit, caramelized sugar, and a whisper of char that adds depth without weight. The palate is light and smooth — toasted wood and vanilla lead, with brown sugar and subtle rye spice in the middle. At 80 proof it is deliberately approachable, with a clean, sweet caramel finish that lingers softly. Easy neat, effortless on the rocks, and a natural fit in a Whiskey Sour or a low-key Old Fashioned.

“Toasted oak complemented by dried fruit and caramelized sugar — bourbon finished in toasted barrels delivering hints of char and caramel sweetness.” — Basil Hayden

• Producer: Basil Hayden, Clermont, Kentucky, USA
• Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Toast Finish
• Cask Finish: Lightly toasted new oak barrels
• Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
• Color: Dark amber
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Toasted oak, dried fruit, caramelized sugar, vanilla, brown sugar, subtle rye spice, sweet caramel finish
• Serve: Neat, on the rocks, Whiskey Sour, Old Fashioned

Light body, toasted finish, zero compromises — Basil Hayden Toast is Kentucky bourbon for those who know what they like.

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

A blend of column and pot still rums aged in charred American oak, Eclipse opens with warm aromas of vanilla, banana, and toasted oak, with hints of dried fruit and subtle spice.

Aperol Spritz — Padova, Italy

Few drinks have captured the spirit of the Italian aperitivo hour quite like the Aperol Spritz.

This 200ml single-serve bottle delivers the iconic Spritz experience in a perfectly portioned format, ideal for entertaining, gifting, or an effortless aperitivo at home.

The color is a brilliant, luminous orange. The nose opens with sweet orange peel, rhubarb, and a whisper of herbal bitterness.

El Tesoro Reposado is a benchmark Highlands tequila from one of Mexico's most storied distilling families — the Camarenas of La Alteña Distillery in the Jalisco Highlands. Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave, slowly crushed by a traditional volcanic stone tahona wheel, and aged 8 to 11 months in American oak barrels — well beyond the two-month legal minimum — this is a Reposado of uncommon depth, texture, and authenticity.

The nose is warm and inviting: cooked agave, vanilla, and toasted oak mingle with a gentle earthiness that speaks directly to the terroir of the Highlands. On the palate, the wine is round and richly layered, with caramel, dried fruit, and a whisper of baking spice, all carried by a long, smooth finish with lingering sweetness. Mellow and balanced, yet never soft — this is tequila with something to say.

The tahona process — labor-intensive and increasingly rare — extracts maximum flavor and complexity from the roasted piñas, yielding a spirit that is earthy, textured, and deeply expressive. A true sipping tequila, best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full character.

Exceptional in a premium Tommy's Margarita or Paloma. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, dark chocolate, and aged cheeses.

Producer Description 

Quinta Ruban 14 year has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.

Expert Review

Whisky Advocate 92 Points | This Quinta Ruban succeeds the 12 year old version, adding two additional years of finishing in port casks, while maintaining the same bargain price. The result is a symphony of understated opulence. Marzipan, fresh apple and pear, milk chocolate, red berries, candied ginger, and praline on the nose build slowly, leading into a fruity, spiced palate. Flavors of soft gingerbread, molasses cake, cherry pie, spiced plums, almond nougat, and dark chocolate intermingle with faint strains of pipe tobacco. It sings on the finish, with a parting crescendo of hazelnut, spice, cigar wrapper, and lengthy oak.

Evan Williams Straight Bourbon White Label Bottled in Bond 100 Proof 1.0 Liter

Evan Williams is one of Kentucky's most storied bourbon names — the distillery traces its heritage to 1783, making it one of the oldest continuously operating bourbon producers in America. The White Label Bottled in Bond is their serious whiskey: produced under the strict requirements of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act, meaning it must be the product of a single distillery, a single distillation season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

Crop Harvest Earth Meyer Lemon Vodka — USA

Crop Harvest Earth is an American artisanal spirits brand built on a simple but powerful idea: that the best vodka starts with the best ingredients, grown responsibly from the earth. Crop Meyer Lemon Vodka is crafted from organically grown Meyer lemons — the prized hybrid citrus known for its sweeter, more floral character compared to standard lemons — and distilled to capture the authentic brightness and balance of the fruit in its purest form. At 70 proof, it is lighter and more delicate than standard vodka, designed to let the natural Meyer lemon character shine through in cocktails and sipping alike. The result is a refreshing, versatile citrus vodka that delivers the perfect balance between sweet and tart — a genuine expression of one of America's most beloved citrus fruits.

The nose is bright and inviting — fresh Meyer lemon zest, white floral notes, and a hint of sweetness that sets it apart from sharper citrus vodkas. On the palate, it is crisp and clean with the distinctive sweet-tart balance of a perfectly ripe Meyer lemon, finishing with a refreshing citrus lift. Wonderful with club soda, in a cosmopolitan, or as the key ingredient in a lemon drop martini — versatile enough to complement any cocktail.

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points | No shrinking violet, this copper penny-hued Scotch hits the nose and palate with a robust but harmonious mix of toffee and peat smoke, in equal measures, finishing dry and spicy. Darkest is an apt description for a whiskey partly matured in former oloroso Sherry casks, which adds deep, raisiny tones.

Winemaker Description 

Pale straw color. Sweet aromas of ripe grapes, pine needles, and spearmint. Sweet for an 'extra dry'. Grapy flavors. Good for mixing.

Domaine Vincent Latour is one of Meursault's most storied estates, with roots stretching back to 1792. Formerly known as Domaine Latour-Labille, the domaine is today guided by Vincent Latour and his wife, Cécile, with an unwavering focus on Chardonnay that balances generous texture with freshness, tension, and a clear sense of place. Their approach is rooted in respect for the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar.

This Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from several parcels totaling approximately two hectares situated within the village of Meursault — a remarkable provenance for a wine carrying the broader Bourgogne appellation. The vines span a wide range of ages, with the oldest planted in 1957 and the youngest in 2019, contributing both depth and freshness to the blend.

After harvest, the grapes are crushed and the must is carefully settled before fermentation. The wine is then aged for approximately 10 to 12 months in a combination of foudres and barrels, with only around 10% new oak. Vincent Latour increasingly favors larger-format vessels, which allow the wine to develop texture and complexity while preserving the purity and precision of the fruit.

The 2024 vintage opens with inviting aromas of ripe orchard fruit, fresh citrus, and subtle white flowers, underpinned by a fine, stony minerality. On the palate, the wine is rounded and gently creamy yet remains energetic and precise — showing understated oak, lively acidity, and a clean, persistent finish that speaks clearly of its Meursault origins.

Domaine de la Chaise Touraine Sauvignon Blanc — Loire Valley 2024

Domaine de la Chaise’s Touraine Sauvignon is a textbook expression of the Loire Valley’s most celebrated white grape — and the 2024 vintage is a compelling argument for why Touraine remains one of France’s great white wine values. Sourced from the Clos des Roussettes vineyard in St-Georges-sur-Cher — the heart of the Touraine AOC — on argilo-calcareous soils that lend the wine its characteristic mineral tension, the wine is fermented at low temperature to preserve freshness and aromatic precision. At under $13, it is one of the most exciting values in all of the Loire.

The color is a brilliant golden yellow. The nose is expressive and aromatic: exotic fruits, pineapple, passion fruit, and white peach with a lifted, fresh character. On the palate, it is round and generous in attack, with well-balanced acidity and a clean, mineral finish. It delivers the kind of bright, food-friendly pleasure that only great Loire Sauvignon can — and it drinks beautifully right now.

97 Points by Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The 2022 Brut Nature Chemin de Rois is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, vinified and aged in barrel. Rich and sumptuous in the glass, the 2022 is seriously impressive right out of the gate. All the elements are so well balanced. The purity of the fruit, the definition, the balance—everything is so profoundly beautiful. This sensational Champagne puts Vincent Cuillier on the map. I can't recommend it highly enough. Bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: March 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year.

The Bailly family’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and meticulous winemaking ensures the purity and terroir expression that Chêne Marchand demands.

The nose bursts with grapefruit, white flowers, and a distinctive flinty minerality that is the unmistakable signature of the appellation.
