Gosset
Grande Reserve Champagne, France $60
Gosset is the oldest Champagne house. It
was established in 1584 in Ay, which is
145 years before Ruinart, the oldest all
sparkling producer, opened its doors in
1729. When you make wine for 439 years
you know a thing or two. The Gosset
Grand Reserve Brut NV is drinking
beautifully. It is 45% Chardonnay, 45%
Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier and it is aged
three years on the lees (the smallest
requirement for vintage champagne). This
has great viscosity, a creamy
full-bodied texture, delicate pastry
crust, and loads of tropical fruit.
Easily one of the best NV champagnes
from the big houses. At the immaculate
price of $60 the Grand Reserve is a
mind-blowing steel.
Guy Charlemagne Grand Cru $60 Philippe
Charlemagne is the fifth generation of
father-to-son winegrowers in Le
Mesnil-sur-Oger. He only harvests and
vinifies grapes grown from his own 37
acres of vines (87% being Chardonnay and
rest Pinot Noir) which are planted in
the Grand Cru villages of the Côte des
Blancs. The vines are worked favoring
nature-friendly practices that minimize
the use of chemicals. Soil health and
biodiversity are at the heart of
Philippe's viticultural approach. This
value-priced, multi-vintage Blanc de
Blancs is made solely with Philippe's
grand cru Chardonnay grapes from
Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. The cuvée
underwent 100% malolactic fermentation
and aged in tirage for three years. The
result is a Champagne brimming with ripe
Chardonnay and mineral goodness that is
refreshingly balanced without being too
brisk. JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS -
"Restrained citrus notes, particularly
fresh, with lime, chalk powder and tarte
tatin pastry. Medium-bodied, tight
palate that’s super-zesty, with silky,
persistent mousse and a polished,
mineral finish full of salinity. Elegant
and tight. Drinkable now, despite the
exuberance, though there’s potential for
aging." (08/2024)
Lundeen Reserve Sparkling, Oregon $58
Entirely made up of Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay, this bottle of Oregon
Sparkling Wine was crafted using a
sizable percentage of reserve wines in
the blend. Wines aged for up to 6 years
before blending into the base wine. This
process is rewarded with tremendous
complexity and richness in the final
wine. Disgorged by hand and on demand.
Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc $43 100%
Sparkling Chardonnay This pale white
gold colored Sparkling Wine from
Schramsberg displays random tiny
streaming bubbles. It opens with a light
lemon and bread dough bouquet with hints
of green apple and almond. On the
palate, this wine is medium bodied with
bright acidity. The mouthfeel is round,
balanced, clean, and fresh. The flavor
profile is lime, lemon verbena, and
green apple blend with notes of ginger
ale and brioche. We also detected hints
of white tea and stony minerality. The
finish is dry, and its flavors and
acidity linger and last for quite a
while. The Tasting Panel would pair
Blanc de Blancs with a thick cut grilled
mahi-mahi or Wellfleet oysters. Enjoy -
Cabernet Sauvignon Pour 4 each 2oz =

2017
Devona Cabernet Sauvignon Bacchus
Vineyard Columbia Valley $60 The nose
leads with brightness and floral notes
surrounded by blue fruits and dark
cherries. Then a taste brings
boysenberries, pomegranate, and fruit
leather to the combination of
characters. The finish lingers with
chewy tannins, a sweet spice, tobacco,
and a touch of saddle leather. This wine
will benefit from decanting when in its
youth and will continue to reward with
age.

- 2022 Mercer Bros Cabernet
Sauvignon $18 This wine is
bursting with notes of cherry and
raspberry which are accentuated by a
hint of almond and creme fraiche. The
elegant tannin structure provided by
the fruit from Horse Heaven Hills
gives balance to the wine. The
fruit-forward palate is followed by a
long, smooth finish.
- 2022 Browne Do Epic Sh*t Columbia
Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $20
Aromatics of black fruit and dusty oak
lead to flavors of anise, Bing cherry
and allspice. This Cabernet Sauvignon
is incredibly smooth with round
tannins and leaves a fruity finish of
red apple, plum and milk chocolate.,
This easy to approach wine with round
tannins pairs well with pork chops,
chicken, red meat fish and of course a
traditional beef steak.
- 2021 La Fortunello Rosso Toscano
Montalcino, Italy $18 A wine
that impresses starting from its
intense ruby red color. Extraordinary
in its intensity and absolute
pleasantness on the palate, it is
destined to improve over time with its
aromas of raspberry and red berries.
It is vigorous and has a good texture,
fresh and fruity on the finish.
- 2022 Lagone AIA VECCHIA Tuscany $20
Aromas of plum and dark fruits follow
through to a full body, velvety mouth
feel and a soft, mineral laden finish.
A lot of wine for the money. Great
wine to pair with a nice steak.

Veltliner Austria $18 One Liter bottle
Screw Cap easy opening! With the
introduction of this surprisingly
sophisticated liter bottling Sohm
& Kracher explore a third terroir
for Grüner veltliner. While the Lion
is sourced entirely from Weinviertel,
the fruit for this bottling is grown
entirely in Illmitz, opposite Lake
Neusiedl from the Leithaberg hill
where the soils are more sand. This
stainless steel Grüner Veltliner is a
mineral focused expression, incredibly
easy to drink with austere depth.
- 2023 La Solitude White Cotes du
Rhone, France $15. This wine is a
blend of three varietals. The
Clairette brings the freshness and
zest of citrus, the Viognier the
aromatic depth and roundness, and the
Grenache the notes of white flowers.
The grapes are harvested early in the
morning and completely destemmed. The
fermentation in stainless-steel vats
preserves the full aromatic freshness.
The wine has a nose of citrus and
apricots, a round and generous
mouthfeel, and a fresh and flavorful
finish.
- 2023 Chateau Haut-Rian White
Bordeaux, France$12. Old Sémillon
vines grown on limestone soil form the
background to this wine. With
pineapple aromas and a mineral
texture, the wine's fruit is full of
grapefruit and kiwi flavors. It is
crisp, ripe, and ready to drink ALC

or anytime and just a glass! Bone-dry
with notes of pear, citrus, and green
flavors. It has a lively, zesty
acidity typical of the region's white
wines. Farming: Organic Always a top
pick for me.
- 2018 Storypoint Chardonnay
California $16 "Luscious and silky,
Storypoint Chardonnay amplifies the
fruit-forward expression of the
variety. The aroma opens with hints of
ripe apple and honeysuckle while notes
of white peach, Asian pear and ginger
deliver a deliciously refreshing
taste. With accents of vanilla and
caramel, each glass is rich on the
palate." ~Winemaker Notes
- 2023 Lady Hill Pinot Gris, Oregon
$15 An aromatic procession of
passionfruit and Meyer lemon embraces
the delicate floral side of
honeysuckle and white flowers. Bright
flavors of citrus rind and white peach
flavors with a crisp minerality. The

malolactic conversion, displaying the
crisp refreshing acidity of Granny
Smith apples.
