Connoisseurs Club Ultra-premium and hard-to-find, this wine club focuses on small-production wines of distinct character and impeccable pedigree worthy of the name Connoisseur. These wines are great for special-occasions and discovery of the world’s best wine regions.

Four Incomparable California Icons Chef Thomas Keller’s MICHELIN-three-starred Per Se is the crown jewel of NYC’s world-renowned culinary scene and a dining experience unlike any other. We were honored to partner with Per Se Beverage Director Michel Couvreux and the Per Se team for our most recent MICHELIN Subscription shipment—and we’ve extended that collaboration to bring a lineup of icons to you. Every bottle will make a fantastic addition to your collection, whether you share it with loved ones soon or a decade down the line. 2010 Opus One Red Wine Napa Valley Opus One is one of the world’s great wines, and the 2010 is “one of the best ever,” according to James Suckling. Grown on four parcels in a prime section of Napa Valley, it has blossomed beautifully over a decade in the cellar. Vinous revisited it recently and declared “it's hard to imagine that this site could give more.” 2019 Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay Sonoma Mountain From a member-favorite icon that graces the lists at some of the world’s great restaurants, this single-site star is unbelievably complex in its youth and still has years of life ahead of it. It’s the pinnacle of American Chardonnay. 2013 Diamond Creek Vineyards Three Vineyard Blend Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Over nearly 50 years of Napa Cab classics, Diamond Creek has only deemed a few vintages worthy of their Three Vineyard bottling. Crafted from the best barrels of Cabernet grown on their legendary sites, the 98-point 2013 is a rare cuvée that will inspire awe. “Wow,” said Galloni in his review, “What a wine.” 2019 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast The foggy hillsides of Gap’s Crown are a mecca for Sonoma’s iconic Pinot producers, and Kosta Browne has worked the site longer than almost anyone. Their 2019 boasts the world-class tension and energy that have helped make Kosta Browne Pinots “some of California’s most in-demand wines,” according to Wine Spectator.

Great wine is all about terroir—but it doesn’t have a monopoly on the concept. Exquisite caviar also displays a sense of place, starting with the water in which the sturgeon are raised. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Haute Caviar Company and our friend Amanda McCrossin—host of the Wine Access Unfiltered podcast—to bring you a VERY limited quantity of what we consider the ultimate wine and caviar pairing set. Three distinctive caviars selected to showcase a sense of place. Three stunning wines that pair perfectly. We’re also including all the accoutrements you need—a Haute Caviar key for opening the jar or tin, four mother-of-pearl spoons, crème fraîche, and blinis—which means you’ve got all you need for an incredible caviar feast! The caviar and accompaniments alone would normally cost $560, but we wanted to take the pain out of your wallet (and the hassle out of your holiday planning), so we’re offering the whole set for just $512.* There’s no better way to indulge in a little terroir-driven luxury this holiday season! A note on shipping: Our friends at the Haute Caviar Company are just as serious as we are about your order being delivered in perfect condition. That’s why we’ll be sending the wine, and your caviar and accompaniments will follow in a second, perfectly packed box, shipping from Haute Caviar.

The MICHELIN Sommelier of the Year Set “The sommelier is an integral part of the service team, and their expertise lends a unique character to the restaurant of which they are part of,” said Nora Vass, director of food and travel experiences for Michelin North America. “In addition to a curated wine list, a wine pairing is a great opportunity for a diner to experience the sommelier's passion and collaboration with the chef more closely. The MICHELIN Guide was delighted to introduce the Sommelier of the Year Award in the United States this year.” Jill Gubesch of Topolobampo (Chicago) 2018 Famille Perrin Les Sinards Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rhone Valley “Super-approachable, loaded with dark cherry fruit and layered with sweet holiday spices, this wine works well with much of our cuisine—and is a fantastic pairing with savory red mole.” Bill Jensen of Tail Up Goat (DC) 2018 Pascal et Alain Lorieux Theleme Chinon Loire Valley Great wine pairings vary by season, Bill told us, but great Cabernet Franc always has a place. Rich, bright, red-fruited, and herbaceous, it goes perfectly with just about any red or white meat. Matthew Luczy of Melisse (LA) 2017 Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol “Bandol delivers complex, soulful wines at prices that are long gone in other regions. The combination of baked, sappy fruit flavors and leathery, herbal charm is intriguing and versatile.” Miguel de Leon of Pinch Chinese (NY) 2020 Rudi Pichler Gruner Veltliner Terrassen Smaragd Wachau “I love Gruner’s expressive character and deftness in handling 'difficult' foods, like asparagus and other green vegetables, spicy chili heat, and rich, fatty meats.” Charlotte Randolph of Californios (SF) 2017 Fort Ross Pinot Noir Fort Ross Vineyard Fort Ross-Seaview Sonoma Coast “I love a seaside Pinot Noir like this, with bright red fruit, luscious black currant, and minerality,” Charlotte said. “It makes me excited to explore the wines made in my own backyard.” Vanessa Conlin, MW of Wine Access NV M. Brugnon Selection Brut Rosé Champagne “I had a blast flying around the country celebrating with these somms. Every celebration needs Champagne, and I thought Brugnon’s mouthwatering Rosé was the perfect choice.”

Presenting the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural Sommelier of the Year Award was a great honor for Wine Access, but it was an even greater opportunity: It allowed us to tap the expertise of the top wine pros in the country for a limited-edition set of six stellar wines. So cancel the reservation-well, on second thought, keep it-but don't miss this chance to drink like you're in a MICHELIN-starred restaurant, right at home.
