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

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

As always, a classic expression of Walla Walla Cabernet.
