Why This Gift
Wine Spectator: "The minerally undertow imparts a subtle, smoky note that blends with flavors of dried pineapple, biscuit, salted
almond and white peach. A balanced version, with a fine bead and well-honed acidity. Drink now through 2018." Dec 2012
Winery: "An elegant colour: golden straw yellow with green highlights. A sparkling bouquet: the vibrant intensity of green
apple and citrus fruit, the freshness of mineral nuances and white flowers, and the elegance of blond notes (brioche, cereal, fresh nuts). A
generous palate combining sumptuousness and subtlety: the delicious sumptuousness of white-fleshed fruits (pear, peach, apple), the alluring caress
of fine bubbles, and the soft vivacity of citrus fruit with nuances of gooseberry.
Moet Imperial can be served throughout the meal, from aperitif to dessert and pairs perfectly with sushi, scallops, oysters, white fish, white meats (such
as roasted free range chicken au jus with fines herbes), and white fruits (such as a white peach tart served with a light, white chocolate cream)."

Why This Gift
Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "A candidate for wine-of-the-vintage honors in Champagne, Roederer's 2013 Cristal Rosé is showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, red berries, stone fruit, freshly baked bread and tangerine oil. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, the vintage's bright girdling acids are amply cloaked in exuberant, expressive and notably concentrated fruit; so while this Cristal is as tensile and age-worthy as one would expect, it's also impressively fleshy and generous given the year. Concluding with an intensely sapid finish, the 2013 isn't as overtly structured as the muscular, tightly wound 2012: rather, it's the 2013's alliance of cut and flesh, precision and charm that's so compelling this year. This is another banner vintage for what I consider the reigning champion of the region's tête de cuvée bottlings, and it will be worth an effort to acquire. Drink date: 2021-2061." Apr 2021
Winery: "Light, delicate soft pink hue. Bright, vibrant, ultra-fine bubbles. Refined bouquet of freshly-picked tart red fruit (wild strawberry, raspberry) and lemon scented flower petals. The pure, precise fragrances delicately intertwine and are gradually joined by overtones of fresh almonds, bread and spices (cocoa bean). These nuanced, intricately interwoven fragrances are ethereal and transcendent. Intense, velvety and captivating on the palate. What else would you expect after such perfume? The juicy, concentrated red fruit gradually pulls towards a raspberry liqueur character complemented by invigorating, sweet citrus aromas. The harmony and delicacy of the wine is reinforced by the creamy bubbles which create a sensation of roundness and concentration. The mineral freshness lengthens the palate; it becomes vertical, chalky, saline and sapid with a sensation of perpetual acceleration created by the pure, bright limestone.Cristal Rosé 2013 is as pure as nectar, a distillation of delicate perfumes with dense, concentrated aromas. Could it be perfection?

Why This Gift
Wine Specator: "A well-cut and lacy Champagne in an elegant, aperitif style, with hints of chalk and graphite underscoring the lively Honeycrisp apple, cherry and lemon curd flavors. Offers a sleek, minerally finish. Drink now through 2021." Nov 2018 Bettane & Desseauve: "A round and fairly deep champagne, with a certain suppleness which gives it an almost universal character. Dosage is not noticeable." La Revue des Vins de France: "This wine has a structure and flavor that are better than the average brute from the mainstream wine trade. And yet it is also completely devoid of flabbiness as the "malls" are carried out on pinot grapes harvested on the crunchy side of ripeness." Winery: "The strength of this golden-yellow wine is immediately pleasing to the nose while its complexity explodes on the palate. The initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla when the wine is allowed to age in the bottle. Brut Carte Jaune offers a perfect balance of finesse and forcefulness."

Why This Gift
Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Le Désir (53% Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec) has
an inky purple color and a sweet kiss of chocolate, black truffle, forest floor, black raspberry and black currants. Opulent, but again structured and
super-dense and pure, this is another massively concentrated wine meant for the long haul (and for our grandchildren). Give it 4-6 years of cellaring and
drink it over the following 35-40 years. Remarkably, Pierre Seillan told me that 2014, while a drought year, was not actually that hot in the micro-terroirs
he was working, but in terms of quality, it turned out to be the most surprisingly positive vintage he’s ever witnessed. Drink date: 2020 -
2060.
This winery, one of the gems of the Kendall-Jackson portfolio of boutique wineries, debuted in 1998 and has been hitting on all cylinders since. I suspect
top priority is given to Bordelais winemaker Pierre Seillan’s choice of the finest fruit he can find from Jackson’s holdings in Alexander Valley, Chalk
Hill and Knights Valley. There are three Bordeaux-inspired cuvées made, with La Muse the Right Bank Pomerol style of wine dominated by Merlot, La Joie
a Médoc-like blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and Le Desir a St.-Emilion-oriented wine dominated by Cabernet Franc. Percentages of these principal
grapes all change with the vintage, but those varieties are clearly the strength of each cuvée. Kudos once again to Pierre Seillan!" Oct 2016
Winery: "The wines of Vérité, French for “truth,” are the result of a combination of old world experience and new world fruit.
Each wine is a distinct blend of unique components harvested from small vineyard blocks, culminating in a meticulously formed union of grape varieties,
climate, soil expression, and winemaking technique. Vigneron Pierre Seillan refers to this methodology as droit du sol, “right of the soil.”
Marking the 50th year of Pierre Seillan’s cultivation of Cabernet Franc, the precision of this wine is matched only by its elegance. A bouquet of blackberries,
rose petals and herbs de provence unite in the iron-rich minerality that is the varietal’s birthright. Perfectly cultivated fruit -- harvested by micro-cru
and masterfully blended -- here produces an intensely structured, long-lasting wine.

Why This Gift
It's got a near-perfect score, is Napa royalty, and is one for the ages. Just saying.
Antonio Galloni's Vinous: "The 2018 Dominus has really shut down over the last year. I underestimated its imposing structure and density, both of which are on fully display today. The 2018 is a potent Dominus endowed with superb depth and tons of vertical explosive energy allied to a feeling of elegance that becomes increasingly apparent over time. Dark fruit, spice and a whole range of earthy, savory notes add layers of complexity. Superb" Jan 2022
Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Dominus slowly emerges from the glass with profound notes of blackcurrant cordial, ripe black plums, boysenberries and Black Forest cake with hints of violets, star anise, cracked black pepper, raspberry leaves and pencil lead, plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers impactful black fruit layers, creating a beguiling sense of richness that is beautifully countered by invigorating freshness and great poise, framed by super ripe, plush tannins and beautiful tension, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note and, finally, lots of mineral sparks. For all that it is at the moment, one cannot help but feel that this 2018 is holding something back. Give it a good five years in bottle, at least, and then get set for what I suspect will be a mind-blowing transformation over the next 30 years+." Feb 2021
Jeb Dunnuck: "The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet-like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It's going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!" Jan 2021
James Suckling: "This is incredible on the nose, offering hot stones, blackcurrants, iodine and wet earth. Full-bodied with a tight center palate, then it opens with a tannin structure that is weightless and spreads across the palate. Totally integrated on the palate. This is a magic-carpet wine. Really incredible. One of the reference points for the vintage. Drinkable now and please try a bottle, but it’s one for the cellar." Jan 2022 Winery: "Dominus 2017 is filled with incense, blonde tobacco, blue plum, and rose petal. Sculpted, refined and very well balanced, its finish is long and polished.
A very wet winter and spring, seasonal rainfall was twice the historical average. With soil water reserves full and warm temperatures in May and June, vines grew quickly amd luxuriantly. Several significant heat waves were recorded in June, July, August, and September with a record-breaking 112F on September 1st. Ripening was fast and homogenous. The severe heat wave before harvest induced significant crop loss. To maintain quality, fruit selection was critical and resulted in one of our smallest vintages to date."

Why This Gift
Decanter: "This is a three-way assemblage: three grape varieties – and equal percentage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with 20% of Pinot Meunier – and a blend of 3 vintages, 2009, 2010 and 2012. The nose is full of flavours and rich with notes of white flowers and crème patissière. However, the palate is crisp, fresh and delicate with a lovely creamy texture. It is elegant, refined and very stylish (unlike the bottle!). It’s a pleasant combination of power and concentration blended with finesse and elegance. While the dosage is 9g/l, it feels much drier, more like a 5g/l and this probably due to the spinal cord of acidity." Jul 2017 Winery: "Armand de Brignac Brut Gold - our flagship cuveé - is a singular example of the Brut Champagne tradition. Marvelously complex and full-bodied, its bouquet is both fresh and lively, with light floral notes. On the palate, our Brut Gold has a sumptuous, racy fruit character perfectly integrated with the wine’s subtle brioche accents. The Champagne’s texture is deliciously creamy, with great depth paired with a long, silky finish. Our Brut Gold is pressed from a perfectly balanced blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier wine."

Why This Gift
If you have or will ever have something to celebrate, someone to honor or remember, this bottle can help you do it with style and elegance. While supplies last, of course.
James Suckling: "A firm and vivid Champagne with a precise, focused palate. Full-bodied and dry. It’s very layered and bright with light pineapple, peach, praline, cooked-apple and stone aromas and flavors. It’s very subtle and focused at the end. Integrated with richness and high acidity. Good depth. Reminds me of the 1995. Very clean. Solid. Lovely to drink already, but will age nicely." Jul 2020
Winery: "Dom Pérignon only creates vintage wines; it is an absolute commitment. Only the best grapes from the most exceptional years are used, making each vintage distinct. On the nose: The luminous sweetness of tropical fruit – green mango, melon, pineapple – instantly shines. It then cedes to more temperate notes, the tingle of orange zest, the mist of a mandarin orange. The wine breathes, revealing its freshness. The bloom after the rain. A tactile sensation of peony, jasmine and lilac.On the palate: The wine immediately imposes its ample presence, full and massive. A sappy sensation dominates as the tactile is rapidly overtaken by the aromatic. The body unfolds: generous, firm and controlled. Then it contracts, letting the wine vibrate with spices and pepper. The energy is sustained to a scintillating, saline finish."

Winery: "Over 20 years are needed to craft each bottle of Krug Grande Cuvee, created beyond the very notion of vintage to offer the most generous Champagne in the world with exceptional finesse. As you taste it, notes of hazelnut, toasted bread, nougat, barley sugar, and jellied fruits may take you by surprise.

You may also notice its exceptional freshness in the mouth, with rich and tangy flavors of lemon and grapefruit enhanced by the subtlety of its fine and elegant bubbles. Krug Grande Cuvee can age beautifully. Krug Grande Cuvees fullness is such that everyone can find something in it to stir their emotions. Its generosity also means that it lends itself to to a plethora of culinary combinations, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, from an extra mature Parmesan to a dish of turbot a la truffe."

Why This Gift
Robert Parker, Jr's Wine Advocate: . "A Chablis-styled sake but with Grand Cru quality, the NV Katsuyama Akatsuki Junmai Daiginjo has knock-out minerality that feels just like climbing a stony mountain. It has great complexity, providing scents of flint, earth, jam, citrus and peach. This sake is off-dry and perfectly balanced with refreshing acidity, together with big structure and deep concentration. It has a prolonged meaty, spicy and mineral finish. A fabulous sake! Rice: Yamada Nishiki." Aug 2016 Brewery: "This is sake with an elegant flavor unlike any other before it. The softly rich fragrance and plump, full-bodied taste are enjoyed along with extreme clarity. Combining a high level of perfection with a delicate balance of flavors and aromas, this top-class umami sake befits the Katsuyama worldview. Akatsuki is a word meaning a "new dawn" and "sunrise," as this sake is intended as a new modern style for the next generation of sake." Importer: "A remarkable sake from Katsuyama brewery in Akita prefecture. Akatsuki Junmai Daiginjo is a “centrifuge” sake, meaning the mash is separated from the sake using an expensive, space-age centrifuge machine. This sake is amazingly complex and comes with many tantalizing opportunities for pairing with both western and eastern cuisines.

Why This Gift
Mr. Suckling sums it all up very nicely. The La Spinetta Barolo Campè is worth the wait, allowing time to plan your meal and celebration. We highly recommend waiting a few more years before you partake. When you do, the already ephemoral tannins will be even more subtle, and the stunning fruit more beautiful still. Decant your bottles at least one hour before drinking to maximize your Wow. Your first glasses will be augmented by a platter of beef bresaola drizzled with a good quality EVOO, sprinkled with sea salt. Try winemaker Giorgio Rivetti's recipe for a traditional Piemontese dish, Barolo braised vealxxx. A hearty, steaming pot of porcini mushroom risotto is another delicious pairing for this Campè. Or, a personal favorite, falling-apart tender osso buco. We have two things to say: get enough of this Piemontese perfection, and Cin Cin! James Suckling: "This is really something, with superb concentration of fruit and tannins. It’s powerful yet harmonious with a muscular sense and agile feel. Blackberries and strawberries with bark and wet-earth undertones. Goes on for a long time on the palate. Give it three to five years of bottle age to come around. Best after 2024." Jul 2021Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "The La Spinetta 2017 Barolo Campè Vürsù sources its fruit from the Garretti vineyard in Grinzane Cavour. The wine shows depth, vertical intensity and quite an impressive range of aromas that span redcurrant and berry to hazelnut paste and earthy truffle. Despite the shiny ruby appearance of the wine, this is a full-bodied Barolo with plenty of power and true grit, or what the Italians call "grinta." Give those nervous tannins time and patience. Drink date: 2024-2040." Jul 2021 Winery: "In the spring of 2000, the Rivetti family acquired the 8ha Campè Vineyard. The story of this vineyard is quite interesting, and if vines could speak, they would tell you how thankful they are that the Rivetti’s purchased the vineyard. The family took over this south-facing hillside from a producer who never had intentions of making a great wine. In fact, all of the grapes were being sold in bulk to other Barolo producers, and the yields were at the high end of the allowable range for the region. Through a rigorous green harvest, La Spinetta reduced the previous production by 75%, leaving just 25% of the fruit on the vine. The usage of chemicals in the vineyard was prohibited and instead fertilization was carried out utilizing horse manure and extensive manual work throughout the year. Today, the vineyard is full of healthy, strong vines that are over 50 years old and produce exceptionally low yields of extremely high-quality fruit. Campè is a true Cinderella story in Barolo! The genius of La Spinetta encompasses a vast array of great wines, all boasting an inimitably approachable and voluptuous style. From Moscato to Nebbiolo to Sangiovese, whatever Giorgio touches turns to gold. His Barbareschi and Baroli are at the very top of their category. In fact La Spinetta’s wines are among Italy’s most celebrated, as the winery has attained the coveted Tre Bicchieri award for more than 30 of their wines throughout their relatively short career.

Wine Spectator: "The minerally undertow imparts a subtle, smoky note that blends with flavors of dried pineapple, biscuit, salted almond and white peach.

A generous palate combining sumptuousness and subtlety: the delicious sumptuousness of white-fleshed fruits (pear, peach, apple), the alluring caress of fine bubbles, and the soft vivacity of citrus fruit with nuances of gooseberry. Moet Imperial can be served throughout the meal, from aperitif to dessert and pairs perfectly with sushi, scallops, oysters, white fish, white meats (such as roasted free range chicken au jus with fines herbes), and white fruits (such as a white peach tart served with a light, white chocolate cream).

to a full body with great grip at the finish. Lightly sweet. Chewy and powerful. Such a focus at the end." May 2018
Decanter: "Super-ripe with an expressive plum and dark chocolate aroma. Rich opulence backed by dark chocolate intensity and spicy tannic
grip – big and bold on the finish. Voluptuous with fabulous richness, big and bold on the finish. This is one for the long haul but it’s already very impressive.
Production of 6,325 cases. Drinking Window 2030 - 2055." May 2018
Wine Enthusiast: Designated Cellar Selection. "This finely structured wine is powered by fine tannins and rich fruits. A touch
of acidity comes through the rich berry flavors and the concentration of the dark tannins. This wine will certainly age, don't drink before 2028." Dec
2018 (Advance)
Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Vintage Port is a blend of 37% Touriga
Nacional, 42% Touriga Franca and various others. It comes in with 115 grams of residual sugar. A bit bigger than Dow's this year, this is more intense
as well. The better wine of these two benchmarks seems to be this Graham's. Tight on the finish, aromatic and very flavorful, this actually opens rather
well and shows off its lovely fruit. The Dow's will be approachable a bit earlier, perhaps, and this may reward aging even more. As always, Graham's is
wonderfully delicious. That's one hallmark of the house. I'm not sure this is a truly great Graham's, but at the moment, it is enticing, with plenty of
potential for improvement. There were 6,325 cases produced, plus some bottles in other formats. Drink 2025-2070.
Charles Symington said that 2016 started off very rainy, followed by a hot and dry summer, but with moderate temperatures. It was fairly apparent it would
be a later vintage. In mid-August, some rain helped the maturation. At the beginning of September, there was a wave of hot weather. He said that was a
crucial moment when he thought of starting harvest, even though it was not quite perfect, but they waited. Victory goes to the bold. Rain in the second
week of September caused them to hold back another week, beginning harvest around 22 September. It was a very late harvest, creating a certain element
of risk. Touriga Franca, he said, is particularly susceptible to rain. But there was no rain for the next 30 days, making harvest easy. Charles said that
the "blue skies and mild temperatures from the 13th September to the 10th October allowed for the Nacional to be picked in late September and the Franca
in early October in perfect conditions with fantastic balance. The freshness coming through in these wines being a defining feature of this vintage."
As we debate the trends in Ports (see, last year's article on the 2015s, "Undeclared and Unashamed"), it's worth noting that my favorites of the Symington
group are easily the single-plot Ports—The Stone Terraces and Capela, both are wine-of-the-vintage candidates. Dow's and Graham's did well, but I
think the single-plot wines overshadow them rather easily." Jul 2018
"Graham's...the most consistent producer of great Port in the post World War II era... their Vintage Ports are truly sublime and sumptuous." Robert Parker,
Jr., 1986
Winery: "Classic expression of the Graham’s style: concentrated and opulent with layers of fresh, ripe, black fruit flavours. Aromas
of mint and eucalyptus with chocolate notes. The Graham 2016 combines superb complexity, structure and balance.
Graham's 2016 Vintage Port pairs wonderfully with chocolate desserts, such as chocolate mousse, creamy blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort.
Port is best served in classic Port wine glassware or white wine glasses. Avoid cordial or liqueur glasses as they are too small to fully appreciate the
wine's aromas."

Why This Gift
Embrace the joy of cold weather cooking with this Rodney Strong Symmetry Meritage, and not just a little, but a magnum's worth! Pot roast cooked for hours will go beautifully with the heady fruit and body of this California red. What are your other favorite roast or basted meat dishes? Likely they'll be good pairings too. Pan-seared rib lamb chops with a drizzle of pesto across the top couldn't hurt either...
Winery: "The 2015 Symmetry has luxurious aromas of red fruit, plum, vanilla, dusty oak and dried fruit which unfold on the palate with silky layers of dark fruits, baking spices, and a supple, rich mouthfeel. This wine is harmonious and elegant with refined tannins and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this wine now with beef stew, grilled pork tenderloin or an assortment of roasted vegetables, or cellar for enjoyment for years to come."
The 2015 Vintage: "The 2015 vintage was warm overall, but cooler than the previous few years. Budbreak was very early, weeks ahead of average. Yields were very low—in some blocks half of what we’d normally harvest. The low yields led to sugars accumulating much faster in the clusters than the speed at which ripening was occurring. Cool and hot weather alternated the rest of the summer. The acidity and tannins in the berries remained firm as we were looking at the possibility of a record early harvest date, so we chose to let the sugars go, waited for the acids to lower and for the tannins to soften. Satisfied with the flavors, and with all things in balance, we picked blocks from five different vineyards in Alexander Valley, plus our Estate Cooley Ranch out in the wild hills north of Lake Sonoma, all the way through September, as the fruit from each block tasted best."

Why This Gift
A rare opportunity to try a true competition grade sake from one of the oldest breweries in Japan (established in the 1500s, the current president of Toko is currently the 24th generation). While almost every brewery in Japan submits a sample of their best sake each year for the National New Sake Competition, these bottles rarely make it out of Japan. The reason is the painstaking “fukurotsuri” process, which allows for no pressing at all to separate the liquid from the solids after fermentation is finished; only gravity allows droplets to collect from the fermenting mash, and this process must be done at sub-zero temperatures to avoid risk of oxidation or bacteria contamination.
This sake is the ultimate indulgence; made by the highest quality Yamada Nishiki rice milled down to a painstaking 35%, what is bottled is only the drops of liquid that are released via gravity at the end of fermentation, with zero force or pressure applied. The result is a dizzingly complex and unforgettable brew.
Notes of lychee, wild strawberry and grapefruit. A seamless finish with concentrated white pepper.
Food pairing: caviar, west coast oysters, la tur cheese."

Why This Gift
The idea for the cuvée Brut Nature was born in 2006 in the Louis Roederer vineyards. This champagne is the result of an encounter between a Champagne House working alongside nature and a creative genius with a free spirit: Philippe Starck.Roederer CEO, Frédéric Rouzaud, brought his intuition, the designer developed the idea and the Cellar Master, Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, set the wheels in motion. The 2012 vintage is the first release of Rosé Champagne from the Brut Nature Collaboration.2012 was one of the most challenging and complicated years ever experienced in Champagne. However, difficult conditions often lead to great things… The low yields, due to the unpredictable weather, combined with continental conditions towards the end of the season, gave us unusual levels of maturity, resulting in rich, full-bodied and structured wines worthy of the greatest vintages in Champagne.
Spicy aromas of Sichuan pepper combined with sappy and floral notes of violet and gentian. Toast and mocha on the nose resulting in an elegant and concentrated bouquet. After aeration, intense fruity notes start to emerge along with concentrated notes of wild raspberries. The palate is fruity. The Pinot noir offers an intense fruitiness and a tight and juicy structure complemented by ripe, almost sweet tannins. The fruit and texture display remarkable depth and are starting to show a typical “Pinot” character.
Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2012 Brut Nature Rosé is rich, explosive and pulsing with energy. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon adds an infusion of 25% cold soaked Pinot Noir into the same base wine as the 2012 Brut Nature, an approach that works beautifully in bringing out the energy and focus that make Champagnes from Cumières so distinctive. Even with all of its power, the 2012 is delicate, airy and full of nuance. This is such a gorgeous wine. I would prefer to drink it on the younger side."
James Suckling: "The fresh strawberries here are so clear and alluring. Some peaches, too. The palate offers pink grapefruit and fresh cherries, laced with lemons and yellow grapefruit. Deep, mineral backbone with a smooth resolve. Buoyed with pink fruit. Drink now."

Why This Gift
Pay attention winelovers, it's not often that you have an opportunity to partake of a sensational, beautifully proportioned, creamy wine such as this O'Shaughnessy Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Enough talking. Open your first bottle and stand back as the stupendous flavors make their entrance. A fitting partner for your first taste is a terrine of short rib meat slow-cooked with smoked paprika and garlic, served with tangy caper berries and thinly sliced crusty bread. That ought to be an appropriate introduction to the magnificent density and forest floor in this Napa Cabernet. Moving on, the myriad of black fruit, creme de cassis, minerals, full body and world class weight and finish require serious meaty fare such as lamb, beef, game and steak. We hope you're hungry. If you're thinking ahead to the holidays, we can't conceive of a better wine for a show stopping standing rib roast with spinach-porcini stuffing and two mushroom sauce. Offer it with full glasses, a golden potato gratin and French beans with caramelized shallots on the side and watch as sheer delight commandeers the room. Bring out the fruit in this O'Shaughnessy with medallions of venison with port and cranberries. If a little less labor is your choice, we highly recommend an easy Provencal leg of lamb. Roast it with tomatoes, onions, rosemary, thyme and mustard and a little drizzle of honey while you have another glass of this Howell Mountain red. Offer the lamb with a creamy gorgonzola polenta and your guests might never leave. Bring on even more happy with a mile-high dark chocolate cake with espresso fudge buttercream, and of course, another bottle. Just one more thing: have the smelling salts on hand; there could be swooning...
James Suckling: "Blue flowers and fruit on the nose, as well as licorice, tea leaf and dark chocolate. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight tannins and fresh acidity. A distinct, saline streak cuts through the dark fruit. Try from 2023." Jan 2021

Why This Gift
From the renowned and highly accomplished Brunier family, who've been at it for over 100 years, from what many believe to be the grandest cru of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, we have the Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe La Crau Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It's a slam dunk for the special dinner... Decant an hour before enjoying, and savor your first glasses with Marcona almonds. No fuss, just enjoy the beautiful minerality, floral and spice notes, and the structure that binds them all together so perfectly. Our first choice with this iconic red? Well-marbled, bone in rib-eyes, flame-grilled to medium rare, with your favorite sides. A lamb stew which has cooked for hours, with cippoline onions and big chunks of carrots and potatoes will do nicely too. Or, a hearty portabello risotto if you're in the mood for meat free. Wrap it all up with another bottle and a French Reblochon cheese. You'll be glad you did. James Suckling: "Immediately a sense of darker fruit in this vintage. Some stony, chalky elements, as well as dried violets and roses. Very compelling, fleshy palate with powerful black fruit and plums and thick, but smooth tannins that will carry it in the cellar. Barrel sample." Aug 2018 Trade Notes: "One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the Southern Rhône, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. The Brunier family is legendary in its own right, having been rooted to the enigmatic plateau known as “La Crau” for over one hundred years. The wines of Vieux Télégraphe evoke the concept of terroir in its purest form: they reflect their dramatic climate, the rough terrain that defines the soil, their full sun exposure at a higher altitude, the typicity of the varietals with an emphasis on Grenache, and of course, the influence of their caretakers, the Brunier family. For many, La Crau is Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s grandest cru. The AOC for Chateauneuf-du-Pape is in the Rhone Valley stretching from Orange to Avignon. Domaine Vieux Telegraphe was founded in 1895, and takes it name Vieux Telegraphe (Old Telegraph) from a rocky plateau of the Domaine where in 1792 M. Chappe, the inventor of the optical telegraph, installed a relay tower."

Rose Champagne goes with everything except red meat. Like turkey, and all of the delicious sides that accompany it. Know what we say here at Wired For Wine? You can never have enough bubbles.
Wine Enthusiast: Designated Top 100 Wine of 2020. "The Roederer style has become drier as the fruit has become riper and this finely balanced Champagne is an excellent example. Taut and textured, with great freshness allied to the mineral and fruit tones, this wine just hints at tannins as it moves towards maturity. Drink from 2022." Dec 2020James Suckling: "This has aromas of very fresh, sliced strawberry and spicy pastry with a nutty autolysis edge. Lots of complexity here. There’s a sleek smooth and layered feel on the palate with a fresh, fine texture that really appeals. Long and crisp. Bone-dry finish. Drink or hold." Dec 2020Wine Spectator: "Rapierlike acidity creates a mouthwatering frame for flavors of steeped peach and raspberry fruit, lemon pastry cream and Marcona almond in this harmonious rosé Champagne, which is racy and finely knit, with lovely hints of licorice, saline and orchard blossom riding the satiny mousse on the long finish. Disgorged summer 2019. Drink now through 2034." Dec 20200
Winery: "A characteristic Roederer rosé: the concentration, fruitiness, and compactness of the Cumières Pinot noir grapes are transcended by the elegance, purity, and freshness of the finest Chardonnay grapes cultivated on the Côte des Blancs.In order for grapes to be used in the creation of a great rosé champagne, they have to attain perfect maturity, which is sometimes difficult to achieve in the changeable Champagne climate. This is why Louis Roederer decided to invest in the vineyards at Cumières, where the shallow calcareous clay soil, which is on south-facing slopes bathed in the light reflected from the banks of the river Marne, enables the grapes to attain optimum phenolic maturity. In order for grapes to be used in the creation of a great rosé champagne, they have to attain perfect maturity, which is sometimes difficult to achieve in the changeable Champagne climate. The wine has fruity aromas of wild red berries, followed by floral notes, and the sugary and spicy fragrance of zest; and the aromas of dried fruit and cocoa result from the wine’s vinifying in oak tuns. Rich and full-bodied, the Rosé Vintage exalts the maturity of the fruit. A sparkling wine with an initial impression of freshness, it opens smoothly with almost exotic notes, combined with the pure minerality of the Chardonnay grapes."

Why This Gift
The glass is ideal for every style of wine. Form follows function: The broader base of the bowl of the glass — a precise 95 millimeters — and the conical shape at the top of the glass— allows for the “nose” of a wine, its top, middle and a base notes to emerge in the glass. The glass acts as a gentle decanter. The shape is designed for the maximum enjoyment of every varietal and style of wine served in the glass.
The Gabriel-Glas is strong by design. Each glass is either molded as one piece, seamless with no stress points (e.g. at the base of the bowl, or base of the stem like many other glasses). Gabriel-Glas, of Austria, is lead-free crystal and perfectly safe in your dishwasher.Your nose actually fits in the glass and makes drinking the wine much easier, because you do not have to lift your entire head backwards in order to let the wine flow onto the palate. The shape of our glass to allow for the wine to flow freely onto your palate with a focused, rather than defused, distribution of wine normally created by bulbous-style wine glasses. This provides for perfect extraction of the wine, balanced between the acidity and its sweetness. Because of the broader base and narrow opening of the glass, the wine flow is more broadly distributed.

Why This Gift
From iconic producer Louis Roederer, we have the remarkable collaboration between winemaker Frederic Rouzaud and Philippe Starck: Brut Nature Starck Edition. The winery talks about their 3 tenets for this cuvee below. In a nutshell, this Champagne is a stunning style of evervescence, without any dosage, or sugar. Think dry, deliciously so. It is a study of the purity of the wine, the winery's terroir, and the snapshot of that day's harvest - with the added bonus of bubbles. We are spellbound. They fine-tuned this method in 2003, 2004 and 2005 before finally selecting 2006 as the vintage for bottling. And then Philippe Starck designed the label... The tenets are:Authenticity and Truth - Emphasized by the distinctiveness of a producer's wine, resulting in an unusual and summery vintage, from a unique soil-clay and stony-characterized by optimal maturity. Abstraction - A difficult notion to translate into technical reality, but Roederer aims to refine and simplify their processes in various ways including harvesting the estate's vineyards on the same day; blending all the grapes directly on the press; removing minimal sludge and encouraging spontaneous fermentation; avoiding chaptalization; ensuring that 100% of the fermentation process occurs in wooden tanks; allowing the wines to age over a long period, without racking (soutirage), and ensuring they are produced in accordance with biodynamic rhythms. Elegance - Reflected in the quest for optimal purity through a balanced proportion of about 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay, an absence of malolactic fermentation, a soft and sensual effervescence, and no dosage.
Wine Enthusiast: “Six years on the lees before disgorgement has produced a Champagne that is just approaching perfect maturity. It is dry but that dryness has now softened with the developing nuttiness. This wine, developed as a collaboration with designer Philippe Starck, is now ready to drink.” Dec 2020. 94 Points.
Winery: "The golden and deep yellow hue sparkles with luminous highlights as the bubbles rise. The bouquet is intense and precise, and notes of spring flowers, Williams pear, and citrus peel gradually emerge. Aeration produces a crescendo of aromas consisting of dried fruits (lightly grilled hazelnuts), a warm-stone character, smoky flavors, and cocoa beans. In the mouth, the wine is impressive, the palate is a rich array of flavors, youthful energy, and dynamism, with a wonderful blend and juxtaposition of acids, salinity, stones, fruit, and a creamy texture. Wave after wave of sensations produce an impression of sudden acceleration, followed by serenity and elation. The mineral freshness returns with renewed intensity, before receding, and finally merging into an elegant velvety texture. This is followed by hints of bitterness and slight astringency, which introduce an element of gastronomy and vinosity-nonetheless, elegance and purity remain the predominant characteristics."

We fell in love with the form and function of the Legnoart line of wine items the moment we laid eyes on them. As only the Italians can do, Angela Ladeiro
and Antonio Lages have brought beauty to the thing which will hold your wine bottles. It's like sculpture for the wall. Ultra hip, clean sculpture... And
it frees up counter and cupboard space. Enoteca means wine shop, and this rack allows you to set up shop anywhere you like in your home, or office for
that matter. Hang one like a work of art conversation piece, or several, to create a sea of wine on the wall. Personally, we like to see a lot of wine
on the wall...
Legnoart: "Italians have a natural and innate taste for good food and wine. At Legnoart we turned this food and wine culture into out
own art, creating objects that find their naturally suited place in the world of quality wines and kitchen delicacies. Those who own a Legnoart piece are
like us: they love beauty, function and quality, while appreciating the importance of technical features. They believe daily life is a space to be arranged
and where individual choices can be expressed in pursuit of a new life style that rejects mass consumerism.
The care and painstaking attention for details permeates every single product in our collections. Our elegance is minimalist, though the function is impeccable
and the uniqueness uncompromising. The material quality is excellent, and we do not intend it to be any less that perfect, and during the production phase
we prefer to fix the small defects in our planks instead of resorting to chemical processes that would make our surfaces all the same. Because the uniqueness
and beauty of wood lie in its small imperfections. The product manufacturing phase takes place in a controlled environment, for the purpose of preventing
the wood from enduring thermal shocks throughout the process. Every piece is processed individually, leaving the operator free to chose the best way to
bring out the best from the raw material, and the finishing is handmade in order to make the most of every single product. Finally, the company is in direct
control of the entire manufacturing cycle: as such it ensures flexibility throughout it, as well as high-level quality control."

Why This Gift
Robert Parker, Jr's Wine Advocate: "A new cuvée from Laurent-Perrier, the inaugural NV Blanc de Blancs Nature represents the first time this house, for all its emphasis on Chardonnay, has ever released a blanc de blancs. Offering up aromas of citrus fruit, green apple, oyster shell and warm bread, the wine is medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with a bright spine of ripe acidity and a delicately chalky finish. It's a blend of the 2012 and 2013 vintages with reserve wine from 2009, and chef de cave Michel Fauconnet told me that he had sought precision from the Chardonnay of the Montagne de Reims and texture from that of the Côte de Blancs." Apr 2019
Winery: "Laurent-Perrier has always selected Chardonnay as the dominant grape variety in all its white cuvées and has been a pioneer of the Brut Nature category since 1981. The wine has a white gold color with a fine sparkle. The nose displays minerality and hints of citrus. On the palate, the wine is balanced and sustained with a finish that is fresh with notes of lemon.
The Blanc de Blancs is a true wine for gastronomy pairing well with the finest fish: sea bass with salt crust, scallops, grilled marinated squid with lemon, thyme, olive oil as well white meats such as veal tartare with ginger and lemon."

Why This Gift
Winery: "Moët Nectar Impérial is a delicious expression of the Moët & Chandon style, a style distinguished by its bright fruitiness, its seductive palate and its elegant maturity. The assemblage reflects the diversity and complementarity of the three grape varietals: the structure of Pinot Noir (40 to 50%), the fleshiness Pinot Meunier (30 to 40%), and the freshness of Chardonnay (10 to 20%) of which 20 to 30% from specially selected reserve wines to enhance its intensity, richness and constancy.
An intense color: bold yellow with golden highlights. A rich bouquet: a burst of exotic fruits (pineapple, mango) the roundness of stone fruits (mirabelle plum, apricot) a slight hint of vanilla. A voluptuous palate combining creaminess and vibrancy: the captivating density of exotic fruits (pineapple, mango) the silky firmness of stone fruits (mirabelle plum, apricot) the brisk freshness of grapefruit notes.
Moet Nectar Imperial pairs particularly wells with rich foods and spicy flavors:
- Foie gras with freshly-milled black pepper
- Salmon in sweet and sour sauce
- Blue-veined cheeses (Roquefort, fourme, gorgonzola), with fruits
- Yellow-fleshed exotic fruits (grilled pineapple, mango sorbet flavored with ginger and pepper)."

Why This Gift
Vinum is the first machine-made glass to based on the characteristics of grape varietal. The brand was developed in tasting workshops where the content commanded the shape. Vinum is executed in lead crystal, machine blown in Bavaria, Germany. Robert M. Parker, Jr.: "The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make." Time Magazine: "The Riedel family has never stamped its name on a single bottle of wine. But over the past 50 years, this Austrian clan of master glassmakers has done more to enhance the oenophile's pleasure than almost any winemaking dynasty." Riedel: "The magic of this glass is its ability to highlight the full spectrum of aromas and flavors offered by fine champagnes and sparkling wines while preserving their elegant effervescence. Bubbles pose a challenge. How do you keep the sparkle in sparkling wine? The solution lies at the bottom of each Vinum Prestige Cuvee Flute. Etched into each is a small dot, the purpose of which is to provide a slightly abraded surface that serves to generate a continuous stream of bubbles and prevent the champagne from going flat in the glass. Designed to highlight the bouquet of champagne, this light and well-balanced glass accentuates the complexity and richness of vintage champagnes and prestige cuvees."

Wine Spectator: "A well-cut and lacy Champagne in an elegant, aperitif style, with hints of chalk and graphite underscoring the lively Honeycrisp apple, cherry and lemon curd flavors. Offers a sleek, minerally finish. Drink now through 2021." Nov 2018Bettane & Desseauve: "A round and fairly deep champagne, with a certain suppleness which gives it an almost universal character. Dosage is not noticeable." 2011 La Revue des Vins de France: "This wine has a structure and flavor that are better than the average brute from the mainstream wine trade. And yet it is also completely devoid of flabbiness as the "malls" are carried out on pinot grapes harvested on the crunchy side of ripeness." Jan 2012 Winery: "The strength of this golden-yellow wine is immediately pleasing to the nose while its complexity explodes on the palate. The initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla when the wine is allowed to age in the bottle. Brut Carte Jaune offers a perfect balance of finesse and forcefulness."

Why This Gift
The Shafer TD-9 Napa Valley Red Blend is a Wired For Wine staff favorite, and frequent fixture on our table at home. It's one of those wines that we don't think has gotten it's fair shake in the ratings department, but that doesn't matter to us; this wine drinks like a pricey Napa Cab, only more approachable and versatile. It is a dark, dense, delicious Napa blend that we can't get enough of. Steaks on the grill, duck confit over a bed of warm lentils tossed with dijon vinagrette, traditional fettucine bolognaise, spaghetti and meatballs and pan-seared rib lamb chops with curry-roasted vegetables are just some of the things we've had it with, and we're going to make that list a lot longer. This is good stuff.
Wine Spectator: "Rich and full of dense and spicy dark plum, dried blackberry and mocha flavors. Dark chocolate and smoky notes show on the ripe finish, with dried savory herbal accents. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Drink now through 2023." Feb 2020
Winery: "This juicy red blend is loaded with vivid summer fruit – red plum, red cherry, black cherry, and strawberry – along with rhubarb, spice, and red licorice. All this tantalizing freshness comes with energy and ripe tannins for a long, luscious finish.” ~ Shafer winemaker Elias Fernandez
The 2017 Growing Season: "A lengthy, warm summer allowed the fruit to hang in near ideal conditions for a long, long time producing clusters of fruit with vivid color, unrivaled flavors, and enticing aromas."

Its deep scarlet color - almost poppy red - symbolizing the perfect balance between strength and elegance, comes from the red wines of Les Riceys in the Aube department. In keeping with its color, aromas of dark berry fruits pervade the senses. Imagine blackberry, blackcurrant and strawberry all scattered on a golden platter edged with mandarin orange and finished with exquisite traces of saffron.
Chardonnays from the Montagne de Reims come together with Pinot Noirs of Les Riceys in the Côte des Bar, the most southerly Champagne vineyard. The result is a deeply intense performance that engrosses you from the first sip. With an incisive attack, juicy berry fruits in the middle-palate, spiced and smoked notes in its stunning finale, this champagne is a mischievous delight. Ideal to be served with duck à l’orange and other red meat dishes."

Why This Gift
Heitz's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made for your summer grilling dreams. Your favorite steak? Check. Lamb sliders with pesto mayo? Check. Leg of lamb done low and slow for Sunday dinner? Check. And if you're feeling lazy, just pour a generous glass, skip the grilling, and enjoy it with some aged cheddar chunks. Wine Enthusiast says it "vastly overdelivers on its price point" and we couldn't agree more. Don't miss out winelovers.
Winery: "The Palate expresses beautiful aromas of blackberry contrasted perfectly with spiced notes of nutmeg. There is a luscious weight and texture to the wine, but also a racy edge of well-balanced acidity on the palate. A powerful, yet elegant wine with wonderful aging potential. A true expression of the Heitz winemaking philosophy.

Why This Gift
A little brother to Stags Leap fame, this shockingly delicious Shafer Vineyards Red Shoulder Ranch Napa Valley Chardonnay is not one you'll want to miss. Because the oak is so wonderfully subtle, the gorgeously pure fruit cannot help but shine. From lemon to pineapple, with heavenly touches of melon, green mango and apricot, they join forces with floral notes, a hint of seductive minerality and lively acidity to weave a truly memorable, full-bodied Chardonnay. Climb aboard winelovers, it's going to be a delectable ride. This Shafer Chardonnay will pair beautifully with chicken, anything from the sea, fish, and vegetables. Open your first bottle and wow the crowd right out of the gate by serving a heaped platter of Alaskan King Crab legs. The bright acidity of this Red Shoulder Ranch will be perfect opposite the melted butter and garlic aioli for dipping... Moving on, if you'd like to serve a pasta course, we love the floral nuances in this California Chardonnay opposite the briny tang of spaghetti tossed with cauliflower, green olives and toasted almonds. Be sure to have a good quality Parmesan to sprinkle over the top. More fish? No problem. How about grilled wild salmon served with a potato rosti cake, drizzled with a sweet pea-wasabi sauce (easy on the fire factor)? In the mood for simple? A crisp-skinned rotisserie chicken dressed with a lemon-brown butter emulsion with some glazed baby carrots on the side will be like finding this Shafer's long-lost best friend... Take a short break, and then come back to another chilled glass with a room temperature brie cheese, preferably one on the milder, more buttery side. And they all lived happily ever after...
Jeb Dunnuck: "I've always loved the Chardonnay from this team, and their 2019 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch has that classic richer, full-bodied style while staying balanced and light on its feet. Buttered lemons, tangerines, green almond, and toasty notes all make an appearance, and it's incredibly textured, with nicely integrated acidity and one heck of a finish. This powerful Chardonnay is going to impress right out of the gate.” Winery: “Year after year the Chardonnay from our beautiful Carneros vineyard offers plush, exotic, zesty aromas and flavors. “The 2017 offers lush, luxurious aromas and flavors of melon, honeysuckle, apricot, pineapple and flint all held together with effortless structure, elegant balance, and energy that comes from pure, Chablis-like acidity.”

Why This Gift
Louis Roederer Collection 242 Brut Champagne is the 242nd blend since its foundation in 1766 (named Roederer in 1833 - born in 1776). The seventh generation of the Roederer family is responsible for this masterful blend* which boasts delicious fruit, floral and delicate citrus notes, beautifully balanced by the perfect amount of acidity and striking concentration, all coming together in a fresh, new take on one of our favorite, centuries-old beverages. For a decadent breakfast, sip it with warm brioche accompanied by salt-flecked butter and an apricot jam. How could you not have a good day after that??
James Suckling: "Aromas of cooked apple, bread dough and lemon tart follow through to a full body with round, delicious fruit and a rich, flavorful finish. Yet, it remains tight and fine with lovely, compressed bubbles. New energy and freshness. Medium-to full-bodied with layers of fruit and vivid intensity. 42% chardonnay, 36% pinot noir and 22% pinot meuniere. 8 grams dosage. Four years on the less. A new-format non-vintage that designates the year of the 242nd harvest, 2017, plus reserve wine of 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Drink or hold.” Jul 2021
Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "This debut release is very impressive indeed, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, peach, ripe citrus fruit, toasted almonds, fresh pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and textural, it's concentrated and layered, with lively acids, an enlivening pinpoint mousse and a long, sapid finish. Brut Premier was already a very persuasive wine, but the new Brut Collection nevertheless represents a step up. Drink 2021-2035.” Sep 2021
Winery: "The Collection 242 blend is dominated by Chardonnay which was of exceptional quality in the 2017 vintage. The perfectly ripe Chardonnay grapes lend the wine its aromas of ripe, sweet fruit complemented by subtle oaky notes. The palate is rich and ripe with a luxurious texture that coats the palate, the signature of an outstanding Chardonnay. The Pinot noir and Meunier grapes from the Vallée de la Marne complete the wine’s broad, luscious, smooth and juicy character. The finish is energetic and fresh.
Collection 242 represents the Champagne House's 242nd blend since its foundation. It is based on the finest wines from the 2017 harvest and complemented by 34% of the Perpetual Reserve (2012-2016) and 12% of oak- aged reserve wines sourced from young Cristal vines (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016)."
*The Collection: "Roederer's Brut Premier was created in the 1980s to prove to consumers that we could deliver consistent quality with a blend that compensated for less than perfectly ripe vintages," explains Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon. "We were blending in pursuit of maturity, of ripeness. The concept behind the Brut Collection is the opposite: we're looking for freshness—and we are embracing singularity, something we're emphasizing by enumerating each year's blend." This project has been in the making since 2012, when Lecaillon set aside 21,000 liters of wine to constitute a perpetual reserve aged in large tanks without malolactic fermentation. Sourcing has evolved too: less must is coming from cooperatives, and only vineyards cultivated without the use of herbicides inform the blend. A dedicated team oversees all this, visiting every grower three times per year. And vinification is parcel by parcel to deliver a maximum of blending components. Iteration 242 is based on the 2017 vintage (56%), supplemented by 34% reserve wines from the perpetual reserve established in 2012 and 10% foudre-aged reserve wines.

Wine Spectator: "A well-knit Champagne with a citrusy, orange peel overtone and a lithe backbone of acidity enlivening flavors of cherry and apricot fruit, grated ginger, pastry and minerally saline. Creamy finish. Drink now through 2023. " Dec 2020
Winery: "Appearance: With reflections of straw yellow, this cuvée is recognisable by the finesse of its slowly rising bubbles and its persistent and plentiful mousse. Overall it portrays a luminous radiance of sparkling youthfulness. Aroma: A distinct and precise intensity with an ethereal character, followed by a natural and radiant freshness. With the presence of a perfect primary example (floral and fresh fruits), highlighted by a volatility of very pure and lightly biscuit aromas. Palate: A subtle pleasure with a delicate texture under the charm of white flesh fruit flavours (apples, crunchy pears). With a beautiful fluidity of a delicious lightness uniting gourmand flavours of springtime. Tasting: The ideal partner for every occasion. It is perfect as an aperitif and can be enjoyed with a wide variety of dishes. Serve at 46-48 degrees F."
Chef's Notes: "The Brut Réserve is a cuvée which is both delicate whist at the same time exhibiting a great finesse. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with a dish that is light and refined and doesn’t overpower the wine. I’m thinking of a dish that we serve on our menu at the restaurant: crab spiced with ginger and a creamy courgette sauce which is topped with Daurenki caviar. The pairing is subtle and the dish perfectly accompanies this ethereal cuvée which exhibits a great finesse." ~ Chef Michel Rostang, of Maison Rostang, 2 MIchelin Star restaurant in Paris

Neil Koch, winemaker, has earned some serious chops in the wine world.

He's the man behind The Dude from Napa Valley, which we've got for a decidedly un-Napa Valley retail. You should really try it.
Winery: "The Cabernet Sauvignon portion of the blend was selected from vineyards in Calistoga and Rutherford, while the blenders were traced from multiple vineyards sites including, Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll and the Carneros regions of the Napa Valley. The “the dude” has blueberry, blackberry, currant, and exotic spice on the nose. On the pallet the wine is dark, rich and jammy with blueberry, spice, cocoa bean, outlined in sweet French oak."

Why This Gift
Situated in the ancient village of Correns, the heart of Provence, Miraval is the magnificent château owned by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Surrounded by exclusive valley locations and exceptional terroir, this rosé is the result of a collaboration between the Jolie Pitts and la famille Perrin.
A complex, flavoursome blend of cinsault, grenache, syrah and rolle, it's bursting with notes of raspberry, wild strawberries, citrus with an expertly crafted balance of perky acidity and subtle minerality that makes it super food friendly. Enjoy your first glass with an aged French chèvre cheese and toasted baguette slices. Lump crab cakes with a peach salsa would be a fine next step. Chop up a smudge of mint for that salsa to make it extra interesting. Hankering for some southern fare? How about shrimp po boys? Make sure there are plenty of chopped cornichons in the remoulade sauce. Or, the wonderful acidity in this Miraval is perfect for buttermilk fried chicken. Have some potato salad on the side with fresh corn. After that, another glass and maybe a warm summer peach cobbler with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream... Sounds good to us. Wine Enthusiast: "There is an attractive richness to this wine produced by the Perrin family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wine is full of ripe red berries mingling with spice and citrus. With a fresh, crisp and textured aftertaste, it is ready to drink. Editors' Choice."
Winery: "Pretty pale color, petal pink, elegant with shiny reflections. This wine presents a very beautiful and intense aromatic expression of fresh fruit and spring flowers. In the mouth, the acidity is refreshing; a great elegance and a nice balance dominate, with a saline finish."

Why This Gift
Chuck Wagner. Of Caymus Vineyards. He's definitely a big deal and has the Cabernet-making thing down to an award-winning science. The Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon is his latest achievement - a blend of several California Cabernet grapes that makes it not only delicious, but one which won't leave a scar on your wallet. Cheers to that! Winery: "Medium ruby- red, this wine opens with scents of currants and dried roses, grape pomace and fresh tilled soil. The nose is nuanced with toasty oak imparting a subtle smoked meat character. Flavors of blueberries and blackberries mix with the warmth of vanilla and toasted bread. Silky tannins and striking smoothness. Mouth- watering, lengthy finish trails off with the taste of unsweetened chocolate and cassis." Bonanza: "Bonanza is a multi-vintage California Cabernet. For some time now I have imagined making a new wine from a broader stretch of California, places my kids and I never tire of exploring, intrigued by the quality of the fruit they can produce. Heading down the road of the unknown remains extremely interesting, if not great fun. There are nooks and crannies of our great state that can also produce delicious Cabernet – and merit greater attention and exploration. These are the kinds of places we seek out in producing Bonanza. Different from Napa Valley of course, but good land capable of producing Cabernet that’s less expensive yet a wine of its own riches. Casting aside the boundaries of individual appellations or vintages, we have greater freedom to make good wine. One thing that’s very important to me – Bonanza calls back to a previous era when a glass of good wine with dinner was a simple pleasure. Bonanza aims to be a smart and gratifying choice, speaking to the enjoyment of everyday life. You may agree that our biggest fortune is good company, great food and delicious wine." ~ Chuck Wagner, Winemaker

Why This Gift
James Suckling: "This has a fresh, lemon and lime nose with a herbal edge, too. The palate has some attractive peaches and lemons, as well as a smooth, fresh, gently herb-tinged finish. Drink now." Mar 2020 Winery: "Cape Mentelle takes a non-interventionist approach towards this classic Margaret River blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon, with the aim to preserve as much fruit intensity and regional character as possible. The style accentuates the fresh fruit characters of both varieties with the added complexity and palate weight offered through a small component of barrel fermentation. The nose is a perfect painting of our Margaret River surroundings- a patch of ancient earth surrounded by vast oceans where fresh, crisp saline scents of the sauvignon blanc meld with the earthy unctuosity of the semillon. The nose is intense with nuances of yellow peach, rockmelon, passionfruit, lemon zest and juniper berry aromas, topped by a hint of white pepper corn. The first approach is very fresh with excellent vibrancy and tension, developing into citrus and melon characters. The wine is then textural and unctuous, ending with a long, zesty finish accompanied by a line of minerality that brings us back to the ocean cliffs and Margaret River mouth."

Why This Gift
From Wine Enthusiast's 2011 European Wine Star Awards Winery of the Year, we've got the Gerard Bertrand Cotes des Roses Rose. The bottom of the bottle was designed by a young French designer, and looks like a rose in full bloom. This Rose isn't just functional, it's beautiful too. Think hostess gift... We had a littel Rose-off in the office, and this bottle won hands down. We then had it with gingery salmon burgers for dinner and liked it even more! Fill your glasses and enjoy them with toasted rounds of baguette slathered with either black olive tapenade or anchovy butter. Prosciutto and melon is another terrific starter that will bring out the lovely fruit and floral notes of the wine. Salads, chicken, fish, and seafood, both raw and cooked, and a lot more will pair easily with the fresh nature, red fruit, citrus and beautiful balance of this Cotes des Roses. Try grilling chicken and serving it with a garlic/basil aioli on the side. If there's good lobster to be had, serve up some lobster BLT's on toasted brioche buns and watch them disappear. A red curry of shrimp will also work well, ladeled over light, fluffy jasmine rice. All that will be left is to stick a fork in you, winelovers, because you'll be done!
Winery: "A soft, pale, brilliant pink with bluish tints developing over time towards more orangey nuances. The bouquet releases aromas of summer fruits, cassis and redcurrant. Floral notes of rose along with hints of grapefruit complete the picture. The finish is fresh, offering notes of candy. On the palate the impression is fresh and full, with great aromatic persistence and balance. Cote des Roses celebrates the Mediterranean lifestyle. The Languedoc appellation stretches along the Mediterranean coast from the Spanish border as far as the city of Nimes, along the foothills of the Montagne Noire and the Ceevennes. The soils are highly varied, mainly with hard limestone and schist, but also gravel transported by the rivers of the Languedoc region. The warm, windy climate (“semi-arid Mediterranean climate with mild winters”) helps the grapes to ripen in good, healthy condition, while retaining all their fresher qualities thanks to the altitude and the influence of the sea which eases the scorching summer heat. The bottle is original with its base in the shape of a rose, created by a young designer from the Ecole Boulle. A wine to be given in the same way you would offer a bunch of roses!"
