In terms of Zinfandel, you can easily make the argument that Turley is THE most important producer. Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 separate wines (including a multitude of Zinfandel) from over 50 different vineyards, some with vines that date back to the late 1800s. The winery works extensively with dry-farmed, head-trained vines, fermenting with native yeasts and aging in a mix of French and American oak.

For this special event we wanted to give our guests the opportunity to take a deep dive featuring multiple iterations of Zinfandel from this storied producer.

Austria is home to some of the wine world’s most dynamic, vibrant white wines. With an amazing capacity to produce wines with virtual electricity and crystalline transparency, (speaking personally) it is a real thrill to go hunting in this category.

For this event we have selected a handful of wines which I think do a pretty good job of highlighting what is possible from the Austrian wine landscape.

Fuchs-Steinklammer ‘Klippe’ Gemischter Satz, Wien 2024
Diwald ‘Vom Loess’ Furmint, Wagram 2021
Franz Hirtzberger ‘Steinterrassen’ Riesling Federspiel, Wachau 2024

Dueling expressions of Pelaverga today, because why not? It’s Memorial weekend and a lot of folks will be out of town; but for those who are around, swing by to sample the juicy, spicy, energetic goodness that is famed in the Barolo commune of Verduno, Pelaverga.

We will have these open today from 11a-2p.

When I first started out in wine, Australian Shiraz was immensely popular. Due to a combination of factors—including changing palates, a proliferation of sweet-and-sappy expressions, and the saturation of poor quality wines on the market—the spotlight moved off of this category in the States. Australia’s wine landscape has since changed..a lot, but there is one wine that has remained true and steady, seemingly flying under the radar, quietly being magnificent: St. Henri Shiraz from Penfolds.

Unlike other wines in their stable, St. Henri is and has been an exercise in restraint—a slow, deliberate work of art meant for a long and graceful sleep in the cellar.

The 2020 is a multiregional blend (McLaren Vale, Barossa, and Clare Valley) of Shiraz. Aged for 12 months in large, seasoned oak barrels, this is a love letter to the grape and to classic Australian wine. Blueberry and plum compote, beef jerker, cedar, and wild thyme swirl over a sturdy frame. It is hard to not be enamored by something so brilliant.

We are happy to have a few cases available at present. If you have not had the wine before and/or you want to revisit the category, please do yourself the favor and pick some up.

Wine cooperatives are formed from the union of many smaller growers, who (idyllically) pool their resources to create something better than the sum of their parts; Produttori del Barbaresco is a shining example of this and I believe it to be the greatest one in the world.

Pora is one of the most famous crus (vineyards) in all of Barbaresco. It is situated near the Tanaro River Valley, where warm air accumulates, and the vines are planted in fertile soils. The extra heat and humidity of the area makes for accessible wines.

This vineyard site was once owned by Domizio Cavazza, known as the ‘Father of Barbaresco.’

After tasting through the lineup of the 2020 wines from Produttori del Barbaresco, Pora stood out as the most approachable and the most immediately impressive. This is a wine that offers a similar experience that is typically found in this category in the $150-$300 price range, making this an absolute steal!

A Blanc de Noirs of a different leaf.

For Champagne, when you encounter the Blanc de Noirs category, typically it is either varietally Pinot Noir or a blend of it and Meunier; much less common is it to encounter a pure Meunier Champagne fermented white, but today we have one.

Located in the Côteaux Sud d’Epernay, Jean Michel is a 5th generation operation. Today, Olivier Michel leads the way and works exclusively with his own grapes.

The 2019 Blanc de Meunier is ample, vibrant, and energetic. Loads of stone fruit, yellow plum, honey, and bright citrus. A lot of fun.

Today is Nebbiolo Day!

We have a pretty fun assortment of wines which help show the range of this lauded grape.

We start with the newest vintage of one of our favorite rosés; then we move over to two dynamically different expressions of Langhe Nebbiolo; next we sample an exotic, ultra-suave single-vineyard Barbaresco; and finally we finish with a thrilling expression of site-specific Barolo.

Wines will be open at 11 and the tasting will run until 2p. No charge to attend; just swing on by!
