Super rich, dense, and sticky, this Pedro Ximenez Sherry from a solera started in 1927 delivers wildly complex aromas and flavors. Try it with maple ice cream or savory cheese.
A wonderfully dark, rich, Tempranillo nicely spiced with used and new oak to complement the dark fruit. As nice to sip as pair up with anything from burgers to lamb.
This rich, sweet, liqueur made from blackcurrants macerated in alcohol originated in Burgundy in the 1840s where it soon found its way into glasses of tart Aligote (a “Kir”) and then frothy Champagne (a “Kir... Read More
Lower ABV Just straight-ahead, classic, bone dry, Melon de Bourgogne with a touch of amplitude and texture from time spent “sur lee” after fermentation. Granny Smith apple, green melon and lime zest aromas and flavors... Read More
The Lacoste family has owned La Clotte-Cazalis since the 1700s and just took the vines back from a long-term lease in 2001. Their 5HA of 95% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc average 50 years old and develop plenty of magical botrytis.... Read More
With Yquem, Rieussec and Lafaurie-Peyraguey, one of the top estates in Sauternes made a legendary wine in 2017. Roughly equal parts Sauvignon and Semillon and aged in 50% new oak, this is already luxurious and will give delight... Read More

From one of the great producers of Rias Baixas, this is handcrafted Albarino from multiple small plots close to the sea and a bit further inland. Zesty and salty, there's a lot of flavor here and a vibrant, energetic, finish.... Read More
Probably a blend of Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and/or Maccabeu with a smaller amount of Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains or Muscat d'Alexandria – but no one knows for certain. The grape were almost certainly... Read More
A completely delicious "drinker's Champagne" with lots of time on the lees to develop toastiness and creaminess of texture. We love how the brioche notes linger here.
It's not Sherry - Sierra Morena used to be as popular as Sherry, but no more - but if you like the wines of Jerez, you're going to love this. Think of it as Amontillado, but one from organically grown grapes and without... Read More
Ice wine is a luxurious rarity, traditionally (as here) made only with super-ripe grapes are left to hang into winter and then picked when frozen. On pressing, the ice (water) stays in the press, giving super-sweet juice that... Read More
Think of this as French Pinot Noir with bubbles and you’ll be on the right track. In contrast to Vesselle’s ever-popular Oeil de Perdrix (the lightest rosé Champagne we know of), this is the darkest and most... Read More
