2019 CHABLIS 1er Cru Fourchaume Domaine Adhémar et Francis Boudin
Chablis Burgundy France 12.5% White
Chardonnay.
Less simply fruity than the straight Chablis but still with ripe citrus and even stone fruits. A good bite of freshness rounded out by the smooth, leesy texture. An attractively sour freshness on the finish.

2019 LA PETITE SYRAH Domaine les Yeuses
Languedoc-Roussillon France 13% Red
Syrah.
A pure and unoaked syrah true to the classic qualities of this northern Rhône grape. Think dark fruit, a hint of black pepper and a floral scent, like violets.

2014 CHÂTEAU LE COTEAU Margaux
Left Bank Bordeaux France 13% Red
Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot.
This is a Margaux with guts, a dark, Cabernet-heavy, characterful wine which fills the palate and has power and length. Nothing not to like, but it's not as refined as some and perhaps all the more honest and welcome as...(read more)

Montepulciano Tuscany Italy 14% Red
Prugnolo Gentile.
Lots of orange peel to the ripe and beautiful cherries. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A gorgeous, intense wine. One of the best basic VNMs from here for a long time. Drink or hold.
