Vintage	Producer	Product Name	Notes	Source	Score	Sell Sheet	Updated
2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Rich on the nose, aromas of freshly squeezed orange and peach are in concert with notes of dusty dandelions, white peppercorn and stone. The palate is opulent, with flavors of ripe green and Korean pears, and candied lemon peel embraced by warm round stones, cardamom, white pepper and white flowers. Its round and textured mouthfeel is marked by a pronounced glycerol edge that dissipates with proper decanting.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2023-11-14
2020	Two Hands	Bella's Garden Shiraz	This is a concentrated, rich, old-school style Shiraz with notes of cherry cola, dusting polish and blackberry jam. There’s a fair lick of oak showing here. The palate is equally high octane, with powerful tannins, oodles of tangy fruit and spice. It’s not for the faint of heart, but that lift of acidity keep things in check, and suggests a good deal of aging in this bottle’s future.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2023-11-14
2022	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée Blanc showed beautifully, with an exotic, tropical style in its honeyed orange, melon, minty herb, and tangerine-like nuances. It's medium-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, good acidity, and a great finish. The classic cuvée here is based largely on Clairette (60%) yet includes smaller amounts of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc, and it’s raised all in stainless steel.

2021	Domaine Jean Royer	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Prestige' Rouge	The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Prestige from Jean-Marie is a juicy, elegant wine in the vintage that has lots of savory strawberry and mulled cherry-like fruits as well as medium-bodied richness and depth, solid, peppery garrigue aromatics, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's nicely balanced, lively, and elegant.	Jeb Dunnuck	92		2023-11-14
2021	Stel+Mar	Chardonnay Lodi	A pale lemon hue in the glass, this wine offers aromas and flavors of lemon, lime, green and yellow apple, baby’s breath blossom, pollen, pineapple rind, banana flesh and peel, hay, clove, nutmeg, vanilla and toasted wood. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2023-11-14
NV	Stel+Mar	Rose	This overall balanced, albeit simple, rosé offers notes of white strawberry, just-ripe red cherry, cherry blossom and hay. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2023-11-14
2022	Domaine Yves Cheron	Vacqueyras 'Cuvee Jardin d'Eden'	An even split of Grenache and Syrah, Yves' 2022 Vacqueyras Jardin D'Eden is medium ruby-hued with attractive red plum and mulled strawberry fruit interwoven with peppery herbs, sandalwood, and spice. It's medium-bodied, has some building tannins, and a good finish.	Jeb Dunnuck	90-92		2023-11-14
NV	Samuel Smith	Organic Chocolate Stout	For drinkers with a sweet tooth, this English import does not disappoint. Big aromas of fudgy chocolate milk emerge from the glass and follow through on the palate, with sugary corner store candy bar flavors.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2023-11-14
2021	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Gnarly Dudes' Barossa Valley	There are black pepper, cherry and chocolate vibes to start here. They lead to a palate that’s big but surprisingly fresh thanks to a lift of tangy acidity, which brightens fruit and softens tannins. It’s no wallflower, but its power is reined in, allowing the fruit and site character to shine. Drink now and over the next seven to eight years.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2023-11-14
2022	Quintay	Sauvignon Blanc 'Clava' Casablanca Valley	A fresh note of orange zest on the nose is inviting. Austere in character, this Sauvignon offers hints of grapefruit and green peas. It’s a great summer sipper or a good pairing for avocado salad due to its crisp acidity. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2023-11-14
