2020 Domain Le Virolys Vire-Clesse White Blend
Maconnais, Burgundy, France – The nose has aromas of white flowers, lemongrass, and white peach. In the mouth the wine is fresh, round, thin and flexible. Great with vinaigrette salads or poached eggs. |

2017 Chateau Haut Batailley Pouillac Bordeaux Blend Red
Jeb Dunnuck-5th Growth, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France- “It’s medium to full-bodied, yet perfectly balanced 2017 that has loads of dark berries, violets, leafy herbs and damp rock-like aromas and flavors. It has a touch of oak to integrate, building tannin and a great finish.” (Barrel Score 92-94) |
 |
2019 Patrick Javillier Bourgogne Cote d ‘Or Chardonnay
Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France- One of Burgundy’s best regional wines, this selection is loaded with ripe pear flavors and buttered toast overtones. This elegant Chardonnay was crafted by Patrick Javillier from young vines in Meursault. Great with Creamy Milk Cheese’s like Asagio. |
 |
2017 Chateau Giscours Margaux Bordeaux Blend Red Wine Enthusiast-3rd Growth, Margaux, Bordeaux, France- “This wine is rich with tannins and ripe black fruits. A core of lusciousness gives the wine weight and density. It will be a fine wine to drink…” This Classified Growth in 1855 is the first label of Chateau Giscours. |
 |
2019 Patrick Javillier Aloxe-Corton Pinot Noir
Aloxe-Corton, Burgundy, France- The talented Patrick Javillier makes this earthy, elegant Pinot Noir at his estate. Seductive ripe cherry flavors and aromas are nuanced with spice and woodsy notes, all backed by a supple velvety texture. Enjoy with chicken, duck and pork dishes. |
 |
2018 Chateau Fleur Cardinale Grand Cru Class Bordeaux Blend Red
Wine Spectator-Grand Cru Classe, St Emilion, Bordeaux, FR- “Lovely fruit with exotic plum and boysenberry notes gliding along, carried by a velvety structure. The long finish has a nice flow, showing a latent anise echo. Seems to be holding back a bit, but there’s some serious depth of fruit here…” |
 |
2018 Clos Saint Michel Chateaueuf-Du-Pape Rhone Red
Decanter-Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France- “Bonfire ash and oregano, dusty blackberry and plum fruit. This is broad on the tongue, plenty of fat with acidity that is good and balanced. Aromatically a very savoury style – the ashy aroma might be a bit intense for some.” |
 |
2015 Pagodes De Cos Saint-Estepne Bordeaux Blend Red
James Suckling-St. Estephe, Bordeaux, France – “Really juicy and delicious on the nose. Enticing. Plum, berry and spice undertones. Some chocolate. Full and very long. Gorgeous focus and finesse.” |
