Cave Du Château De Chénas Cour De Granit Chénas 2023 ($24.00)

The Beaujolais region’s highest quality wines come from ten villages. Chénas is the smallest village of the ten. Wine Enthusiast praises this gorgeous, accessible wine: Plump black raspberry brushes up against red cherry and bruised alpine strawberry on the nose with pomegranate and cranberry skin. Midpalate is juicy with chalky, mineral elements that lengthen and extend the taste that goes on and on.

Smith-Madrone 2021 Estate Chardonnay ($54)

Wine Enthusiast’s Buying Guide - “Best of Year 2025”
Sometimes, a special chardonnay is all you need! This one is generous and delicious now, but structured to go long as well. Nose of lemon curd, honey-roasted nuts and a hint of butterscotch. Fresh apple, lemon creme, buttered popcorn and a tropical edge work together on palate. Bold and juicy acidity pushes through the extended finish. Spring Mountain, Napa Valley, California.

Evesham Wood 2023 Pinot Noir ($34)

Sure to please wine punches far above its weight class, with savory herbs and florals on the nose, complemented by mint, thyme and white pepper. Palate has red fruits, tart cranberries, blood orange, ripe plum, ripe olives, juicy acid and succulence on the finish. Layers and complexity will allow aging gracefully but has the bonus of being expressive early on. Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Band of Vintners 2023 Sauvignon Blanc ($30)

Inaugural vintage from the Band is bright and floral with “lip-smacking acidity.” Ripe grapefruit and white florals take center stage on the nose. Palate is super dry, zesty and crisp with lengthy finish. Napa Valley, California.

Wines to Watch

Licenciado Rioja Reserva ($32.50)

This Spanish beauty is 100% tempranillo. Shows a ruby red color and outstanding aromas of wild berries, vanilla and spice. Palate is super smooth, well-balanced, rounded and elegant, and offers black pepper, ripe black fruits and vanilla flavors. Its freshness, oak ageing and high extraction guarantee an age-worthy wine at an amazing price.

Domaine de Piaugier 2022 Sablet ($28.50)

75% grenache, 25% syrah. Aromas and flavors of brambly, spicy red and dark berries, leather, baking spices plus an herbaceous rusticity that lovers of classic Rhône wines will adore. We love, love, love this wine!
