Cult Northern Rhône Revisited:
2021 Gonon Vin de Pays l'Ardeche Les Iles Feray

Les Iles Feray is mostly sourced from parcels lower on the slopes of their Saint Joseph vineyards and a small portion of young vines further up the slopes. In any vintage, the wine is incredibly agile, pure, and offers up a complicated assortment of bright fruit, spice, floral notes, and crushed rock. The 2021 really dramatizes these qualities.

Rare, Single Vineyard Sherry Magnums
Valdespino Fino Inocente En Rama Magnums

Inocente shows a very unique, distinctly chalk-imbued power married to lovely elegance. There are clear saline notes and a citrusy acidity that courses through the sherry along with almond aromas and flavors.

Forgotten Spain - Not To Be Missed Value:
2022 Llamalo X Vestigium Monastrell Tierra de Castilla

However, this bottle was one of the stars of a recent tasting of over 25 wines. It was pure, layered, and had a captivating impression of honest drinkability.

Back Up The Truck: Orange Wine Edition - 50% Below Market:

"This is a quality Bonnes-Mares of grace"
2019 Bertheau Bonnes-Mares

Bonnes-Mares' power is on display, but it's rendered with a startling amount of subtlety and energy. For all of its restraint, there's an explosive aroma of dark red fruits, floral notes, and orange peel.

"This is lovely"
-2021 Lafarge Volnay 1er Cru 5 Climats

Due to the small quantities, Lafarge made the decision to blend his five 1er Cru vineyards into a single wine. This is the first time ever that Lafarge has blended these sites, and this is a long established domaine. 

The Perfect Storm: 2021 Vetter Sylvaner "Muschelkalk"

Truly, the wines closest to this particular Sylvaner in terms of style come from other brisk, limestone-riddled places. Think of the most incisive examples of Chablis. 

Head-Turning:
2018 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo

The 2018 Barolo is beautifully graceful and nuanced. It offers up plenty of detail and elegance along with soaring aromatics.
