2023 Cren dell’Ape Cortese Blanc
Piemonte, Italy – 100% Cortese
A crisp, charming white made entirely from native Cortese grapes grown in the heart of Piemonte. Bright, floral, and effortlessly drinkable, this one’s got personality.
On the nose, expect delicate white flowers and juicy yellow peach, with a hint of stony minerality. The palate is a vibrant mix of yellow and tropical fruits, like a sun-kissed fruit bowl in a glass. Fresh, zippy, and super easy to love.
It’s the kind of wine you open “just for a glass” and suddenly it’s gone. Always a crowd-pleaser. Give it a go, you won’t regret it. Cheers! 🍑🌼🥂 — 6 days ago
A charming “baby Sancerre” that delivers classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc character, especially from the lesser-known but increasingly exciting Coteaux de Giennois.
This wine greets you with bright freshness and delicate floral aromatics. On the palate, it leans mellow and fleshy with ripe lemon zest and soft acidity, not overly grassy, but crisp enough to keep things lively. A whisper of minerality lingers on the finish, adding finesse.
Super versatile, perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood and lighter fare. An easygoing, dry Sauvignon Blanc with just the right touch of elegance. Cheers! — 6 days ago
2013 Kelham Vineyards Cabernet Franc – Oakville, Napa Valley
Another masterpiece from vintner Ronald Nicholson, this 2013 Cabernet Franc is a rich, complex, and deeply expressive wine that perfectly showcases the varietal’s potential in Oakville terroir.
On the nose, it opens with layered aromas of cigar smoke, dusty blackberries, and sweet vanilla, inviting and instantly intriguing.
The palate delivers a powerful mix of dark cherry, plum, and subtle earthy notes, all wrapped in finely textured, chalky tannins. There’s a savory, meaty core that adds depth and juiciness, especially at the front of the palate.
Mouthfeel overall: Bold and structured, yet silky and refined. The balance of red and dark fruit is seamless, leading to a long, luxurious, and graceful finish. This wine is clearly cruising at its prime, showing finesse, polish, and just enough power to impress.
Extremely limited production. So, if you come across a bottle, don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it.
Cheers!

2023 Quinta de Cidrô Douro Gouveio
An intriguing white from the Douro Valley, made entirely from 100% Gouveio, one of Portugal’s native white grapes. This wine opens with expressive aromatics and exotic flair, showing off notes of fennel, and ripe grapefruit peel that instantly draw you in.
On the palate, it starts with a welcoming freshness and glides into a mid-to-full body texture. There’s a creamy roundness toward the back end, balanced by a subtle, food-friendly astringency. The light tannic grip adds dimension, while the long finish wraps it all together with confidence.
A compelling white with personality, fresh yet textured. Cheers!

Though Piña Cellars is renowned for its powerful reds, this small-production Chardonnay from the Low Vineyard proves they know their way around white wines, too. Grown next to the famed Muir-Hanna Vineyard, the same fruit once used in Montelena’s legendary 1976 Paris Tasting Chardonnay, this wine is something truly special.
Quite different from the classic California butter-bomb, this bottling leans into elegance and precision. The nose opens with layers of honeysuckle, orchard fruits, brioche, and subtle spice. On the palate, white peach, apricot, and pear dance with delicate hints of hazelnut, all wrapped in a creamy, full-bodied texture.
Mouthfeel is plush and satiny, yet lifted by a refreshing acidity that keeps it vibrant through a long, graceful finish.
Still youthful, but showing beautifully now, this Chardonnay has the structure to age and evolve for years. A true showstopper, and a rare gem from a producer that usually flies under the Chardonnay radar. ✨🍐🥂 — 5 days ago
2023 Mucchietto Soave DOC (Organic)
Veneto, Italy – 100% Garganega
A bright, easygoing white from the heart of Soave in northern Italy, made from organically grown Garganega grapes. This is Soave at its most charming—light, refreshing, and effortlessly enjoyable.
Expect vibrant citrus notes with a splash of tropical fruit and soft white floral hints on the nose. It’s crisp, clean, and built for warm weather, think poolside hangs, rooftop sunsets, and easy dinners with friends.
Drink it chilled, drink it often, this is Italian summer in a glass. Cheers! 🇮🇹☀️

This wine is a California-made white blend, crafted by Master Sommelier Willie Scherer under the Remix Wines label. 
It’s predominantly Sauvignon Blanc from the Lolonis family’s old vines, planted in 1942 in Mendocino County’s Redwood Valley. A smaller portion of Sémillon is added. 
Plenty of grapefruit, white pear, apricot, minerality, and creamy texture, strikes a stylistic chord with Bordeaux Blanc (a Sauvi‑Sémillon blend). It aliso solid notes of oak, still bright and dry as mouthfeel. This isn’t an ordinary white blend. Cheers! — 7 days ago
Freddy R. Troya
A commanding expression of Pritchard Hill fruit, this 2019 Melanson Cab is Napa power in its most refined form. The nose is intensely perfumed, black cherry, cassis, mahogany, dried herbs, and a touch of licorice and forest floor.
The palate follows through with depth and authority: concentrated dark fruit, cocoa powder, tobacco, and mulberry wrapped in firm but polished tannins. Dense, dry, and structured, with a long, resonant finish.
This is a wine that demands patience, decant at least two hours. Built to go the distance. 🔥🍷 — 2 days ago
