“Refreshing and Ready to Drink”
2015 Jeremie Huchet Muscadet Les Montys Vigne de 1914 (Loire) - $17.99 bottle - 92 WE
“Old vines, some dating from 1914, form the basis of this impressive wine. They give it concentration while the stone and sand soil brings even more richness. With its crisp acidity, lemon and grapefruit fruit, and creamy texture, the wine is refreshing and ready to drink." - Wine Enthusiast
One of Our Favorite Value White Burgundies
2014 Chavy Martin Bourgogne Blanc (Burgundy)- $19.99 bottle - 91 SP
"An attractive nose of white flowers and minerals leading to a detailed and pure, medium bodied wine with crisp flavors and a long finish." - Sokolin Tasting Panel
This Wine Far Outperforms Its Price
2012 Pepiere Muscadet Chateau-Thebaud Clos Des Morines (Loire) - $19.99 bottle - 94 VM
"An unusually, flatteringly ripe nose of pear, quince and bittersweet floral perfume also anticipates with whiffs of sea breeze the mouthwateringly savory oyster liquor that emerges on a satiny yet vivaciously juicy palate. The finish here combines grip with consummate refreshment and myriad mineral nuances with lusciously ripe fruit..." - David Schildknecht, Vinous Media
“A Fabulous Wine for the Money.”
2014 Mt. Eden Chardonnay Old Vines Edna Valley (California) - $21.99 bottle - 92 VM
"Mount Eden's 2014 Chardonnay Old Vines, from a site in Edna Valley, is pretty, understated and gracious. Pear, white flowers and sweet spices are all nicely delineated throughout in this super-attractive, mid-weight Chardonnay. Readers will have a hard time finding a better wine for the money...Quite simply, this is a fabulous wine for the money." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
A Top Vintage for Chablis
2014 Etienne Boileau Chablis Montee de Tonnerre (Burgundy) - $24.99 bottle - 91 WE
"Crisp and steely, this is a bright and fruity wine. It has a tight texture cut with acidity and citrus flavors. The wine is lively, packed with fruitiness that has a delicious refreshing aftertaste..." - Wine Enthusiast
Incredible Value from One of California’s First-Rate Producers
2015 Paul Hobbs CrossBarn Chardonnay Sonoma Coast (California) - $24.95 bottle - 91 RP
"...scented of ripe peaches, honeydew melon and green guava with a touch of baking bread. Full-bodied, rich and with a lovely oily texture, it finishes long and spicy." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Experience this Historic Vintage for Less!
2014 La Chablisienne Chablis Montee de Tonnerre (Burgundy) - $25.99 bottle - 91 BH
"...notes of citrus, white flowers and mineral reduction. Here too there is a refined mouth feel to the delicious and attractively textured flavors that are at once generous yet reasonably precise..." - Burghound.com
“As Appealing as Ever.”
2016 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (New Zealand) - $27.99 bottle - 90 JS
"Really striking aromatics. Unmistakable passion fruit and lime citrus with subtle grassy and herbal complexity. The bold, flamboyant fruit is what takes center stage here. There's a fleshy, succulent feel to the palate. Acidity keeps it vibrant and the flavors hold fresh and lively. As appealing as ever. Drink now." - James Suckling
“A Gorgeous, Nuanced” Wine
2014 Copain Wines Chardonnay Dupratt Vineyard (California) - $39.99 bottle - 94 VM
"..2014 Chardonnay Dupratt Vineyard is a wine of phenolic intensity and power. Savory herbs, chamomile, mint and crushed rocks are pushed forward, while the fruit lies more in the background. The flavors are remarkably vivid. This is a gorgeous, nuanced Chardonnay from Copain." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
“Another Killer Effort…”
2015 Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc (Rhone) - $49.99 bottle - 93 RP
"...another killer effort...it offers copious amounts of sautéed peach, tangerine and orange blossom to go with beautiful fruit and texture on the palate. Possessing vibrant acidity and a clean, crisp finish, I’d drink it over the coming 3-4 years, but you can keep this ...for decades." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
