The Wines:

France:

Piper-Heidsieck Brut NV Champagne - save 30% - retail $82.99, your price $57.99 - 36 bottles available, no minimums

• Cork Notes: A classic and perfect for holiday crowds, this has toasty notes alongside fresh fruits and a creamy mousse. Great when you need to impress a range of visitors.

Taisne Riocour NV Blanc de Noirs Champagne - save $20/btl - retail $94.99, your price $74.99 - 24 bottles available, no minimums

• 91 Wine Enthuiast
• Cork Notes: We've been loving this easy sparkler, as the acidity is balanced and less intense than a Blanc de Blanc. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, this is vibrant and invigorating, showcasing flavors of pink plum, candied orange peel, fresh pastries, dried flowers, and a touch of sweet spice.

Joseph Drouhin Pouilly-Fuisse 2021 - save 30% - retail $67.99, your price $47.99 - 30 bottles available, no minimums

• 2020 vintage: #65 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022
• Cork Notes: Golden hue with green tints. Floral notes, highlighted by almond and ripe orchard fruit. The palate is lithe and refreshing, with a lengthy, mineral-focused finish.

Château Corbin, St Emilion 2018 - save $35/btl - retail $109.99, your price $74.99 - 24 bottles available, no minimums

• 94 Wine Enthusiast, 94 Dunnuck, 94 Wilfred Wong, 93 Decanter Blend: 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc Silky, rich, red and black fruited with chocolate and leather on a lingering finish - a staff pick since it arrived!:
• "Annabelle Cruse is the owner of this lovely estate on the Pomerol side of St-Emilion. Evident coffee toasting suggesting well-handled oak, this has poise and definition, with slate and ripe blueberry notes, clear tannic hold and a fresh, sappy finish. Elegant but concentrated, serious in its intention but with St-Emilion gloss. Jean-Luc Thunevin is consultant as of this vintage. 50% new oak." DC

Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 1er Cru "Butteaux" 2018 Chardonnay - save $30/btl - retail $139.99, your price $109.99 - 10 bottles available, no minimums

• 98 Decanter, 98 Suckling, 98 Vinous, 98 Dunnuck
• Cork Notes: This has an emerging nose of redcurrant and flint. The palate is full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with good consistency and minerality. This is round and svelte, perfect on it's own or with some charcuterie and soft cheese.

Winemaker Thomas Pico is dedicated to hand-harvesting and hand-sorting, eliminating imperfect berries on a vibrating triage table at the winery. He uses indigenous yeasts for fermentation, ensures a 14-16 month élévage (or longer based on cuvées and vintages), and bottles without fining or filtration.

Château Pichon-Comtesse, Paulliac 2020 - save $100/btl - retail $489.99, your price $389.99 - 6 bottles available, no minimums

• 98 Decanter, 98 Suckling, 98 Vinous, 98 Dunnuck
• "Smooth, seductive and finely textured, this is both sleek and strict, with a savoury, crushed stone saline tang alongside tobacco, tar, ripe black cherries and soft floral scents; the Cabernet really makes its mark. Sexy and rich, less immediately charming than the 2019 was at this point - it’s more restricted and coiled but more sophisticated, elegant and refreshing - a wine you want to sit and think about while the aromas and flavours open and evolve. Lovely definition, weight and texture overall. A clear stand out." DC

Italy:

Mazzolino Estate Camara Chardonnay 2021 - save 20% - retail $37.99, your price $29.99 - 24 bottles available, no minimums

• Cork Notes: This was a fantastic find last month, we tasted through the whole line up with owner Enrico. The family is half Italian (a bit of Turkish roots there too!) and half French (from Burgundy), and employs a Burgundian winemaker. White florals, peach and tropical fruit tones are carried by a zesty medium bodied wine(no oak) with a zippy mineral finish. Hand picking, sorting, and low intervention winemaking check all the boxes we'd like for a Chardonnay to express typicity - this was a hit with the whole team! The Pinot's are also excellent, and we'll be sending an offer on this producer as time permits.

Lionello Marchesi Coldisole Brunello 2016 - save 30% - retail $69.99, your price $49.99 - cases of 6, no minimums

• 93 Suckling
• "Nutmeg, dried flowers and a hint of soy-sauce savouriness has seeped into the cranberry fruit and wet leaves. The tight, medium-bodied palate is charged with dusty, seamless tannins. Juicy, mature and nicely woven. Drink or hold."JS

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2020 - save 20% - retail $64.99, your price $51.99 - 30 bottles available, no minimums

• 94 Suckling, 93 Wine Spectator - organic
• "Rich and velvety, laced with black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral flavors. This is driven by vibrant acidity and backed by well-mannered tannins. Shows excellent balance and length." WS

Gaja Ca'Marcanda 'Promis' 2021 - save 30% - retail $82.99, your price $57.99 - 36 bottles available, no minimums

• Blend: 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah, 10% Sangiovese
• Cork Notes: Promis always impresses at our store tastings, and the 2021 is accessible now and will develop well over the next 5-7+ years. The Syrah adds a silky texture that surprises many customers with a round mouthfeel and relaxed finish.

USA:

Jordan Chardonnay 2020 - save 25% - retail $99.99, your price $74.99 - 24 bottles available, no minimums

• 95 TP
• "Crisp acidity and precise minerality entertain on the bright mid-palate. Following fermentation and sur-lie aging in a combination of stainless steel and barrel, this wine spends five and a half months in 100% new French oak, bringing out tropical notes of pineapple and gardenia. Crisp acidity and precise minerality entertain on the bright mid- palate. Tangerine, apple, and mint are focused and edgy yet tempered by that delicate oak influence." TP

Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 - save 30% - retail $85.99, your price $59.99 - 36 bottles available, no minimums

• 94 Suckling
• Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 0.5% Merlot, 0.5% Petite Sirah
