“This is one of the great whites on earth, but of course….it’s Gaja!” - Dave Sokolin

Gaja is widely considered one of the greatest estates in the world, producing coveted and collectible reds, but those “in the know” include this white wine as well, 2022 Gaja Chardonnay Gaia & Rey.

The first Chardonnay planted in Piedmont and the first Italian white wined aged in barriques, Gaia & Rey was named by Angelo Gaja after his first daughter, Gaia, and Grandmother Clotilde Rey.

Produced in the Langhe region of Piedmont, there is universal applaud for this wine. “Gaja Chardonnay competes with top white Burgundies, and why wouldn’t it. You can actually taste the pedigree. I had the pleasure of tasting back vintages at Hotel Pellicano in Tuscany and actually think it ages better than most white Burgundy today. A masterpiece! 97+ points.” - Dave Sokolin

If you’re a Chablis fan, Jean-Marc Brocard’s new 2022 Chablis collection is worth checking out! We have very limited quantities of a few of his amazing wines that we hand-selected just for you. Established in 1973, this family owned estate was one of the first producers to implement organic farming in Chablis. They are known for their delicious Chablis, Petit Chablis, Premier Cru Chablis and Grand Cru Chablis and demand high quality and authenticity in their wines.

"Brocard makes the most crisp and laser focused wines of Chablis. I love the intensity married to easy summer drinkability. You can sip it by the pool, or focus on every sip in an intense wine tasting. It's true connoisseur Chablis at very reasonable prices." - Dave Sokolin

“Once in a while a white wine comes out of Italy that beats even the top white Burgundies ... and this is it!” - Dave Sokolin

We’re excited to bring you one of the most sought-after Italian white wines, a 98 pointer from the Antinori family, 2022 Antinori Cervaro della Sala. Cervaro della Sala sets the benchmark for Italian white wine. It’s one of our favorite white wines, and it’s certainly adored by our customers - it’s gone as soon as it checks into our inventory.

“Antinori's 98 point rated Cervaro is Italy’s answer to Batard Montrachet, yet it costs much less. Cervaro is one of our most requested wines, and at $89.99, this is better to drink during summer than most $1,000 bottles!” - Dave Sokolin

The Antinori family, esteemed and highly regarded, has been making wine since the late 1300s, spanning 26 generations.

Summertime weather pairs well with an amazing bottle of Chablis! Patrick Piuze is one of Burgundy’s best Chablis producers, and his 2022 Grand Cru Bougros is a showstopper of a wine that’s a must-try. Patrick Piuze joined the Olivier Leflaive team in 2000 where he gained experience working with Jean-Marc Brocard and Jean-Marie Guffens of Verget. He has quickly become known for his top-notch Chablis.

"Even if you haven't heard of Patrick Piuze, his wines are shockingly great. Some of the Grand Crus come close to the legendary producer JF Raveneau at a fraction of the price. And the Premier Crus are gorgeous and are way under-priced, for now. Very small production, usually sells out before most can get it." - Dave Sokolin

I was blown away by the 2022 Patrick Piuze Chablis Bougros! I rate it 98 points, but not for the usual reasons you’d expect. The 2022
