The Riesling heads, acid freaks and German wine lovers all agree - the Barrel X bottling from Peter Lauer is that just gotta’ have it juice & swaggeringly sexy stuff! This Saar sourced sensation is far more high-toned and complex than its price would suggest. Hints of mineral, citrus, green apple skin and sea spray dance from the nose to the palate, and the acidity simply makes your mouth water (drool) like a mastiff staring down a steamship roast beef! Oh yeah, it’s that good.

Last Roundup for a legendary Rhone Ranger

The 16th and final vintage of Rocks and Gravel could well be the best ever, and that is a statement and a half. Sourced from Unti Vineyards in Dry Creek Valley from biodynamically farmed plots, R&G sees no oak whatsoever. At once the aromatics are floral, meaty and savory and the flavors are mouth-watering, silky and fine - refreshing and persistent - a beauty in every way.

Lush Aromatics and Surprising Weight - Yet Super-Clean

“P” & “J” fell in love with The Terraces Chenin Blanc on a recent trip to California and immediately brought this in. 680 cases produced, no new oak in the picture - this beauty rivals the best wines from Vouvray in France’s Loire Valley. The Terraces is a Napa rarity these days - family operation, no flash and no corporate influence!
