2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	The haunting bouquet of violets, forest floor, red beets and berries holds you in its gentle grip so that you have to force yourself to take a sip. But when you do, the combination of great concentration and finesse is truly breathtaking. Dazzling mineral freshness in the almost endless finish. Fermented and matured in concrete tanks. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	99		2025-04-10
2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Beaujolais 'Lantignie'	I love the violet aroma of this elegant and juicy, medium-bodied Beaujolais. A delicious wine with a good structure and healthy tannins, without that making it bold or heavy. Long, moderately dry finish. From four hectares of vineyards with 45 to 70-year-old vines. Fermented and matured only in concrete tanks. Bottled late April 2024.	James Suckling	92		2025-04-10
2022	Isabel Estate	Chardonnay	The 2022 Chardonnay is rich and robust on the nose, with pulpy stone fruit and ripe mango. In the mouth, the wine is salty, fleshy and round, almost oily in texture, with white pepper and flowers. Through the finish, the phenolics and acid eddy in and around the fruit, making for a satisfying close to the wine. Not hugely complex, but it is satisfying. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Corcelette	Please let me lie in this bed of violets and velvet and forget the world. In spite of the great concentration on the suave, medium-bodied palate, this is so fresh, delicate and precise. Then comes the sensuous and energetic crescendo of a finish that sweeps you away. From 0.8 hectares of 95-year-old vines. Fermented and matured in concrete tanks. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	98		2025-04-10
2022	Pacific Redwood	Syrah	This producer makes their wines with only naturally occurring sulfites, with no additives or preservatives. The nose has fresh dark-berry confiture, cedar and earth aromas. Flavors on the palate are racy red berry, cranberry, dried mushroom and dusty tannins on the finish. Pair with mushroom and winter vegetable pot pie. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-04-07
NV	Bluebird Distilling	Char and Stave Coffee Liqueur	Made with Arabica coffee from roaster Char and Stave and a vodka base from Bluebird. The appearance, aroma and flavor suggest lightly sweetened cold brew coffee, finishing with hints of plum skin and clove heat. Would be stellar in an espresso martini.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-04-07
2022	Carol Shelton	Zinfandel 'Wild Thing' Mendocino County	A Zin with pizzaz and an easy-going personality, this serves up lively cherry, cranberry, grilled sage and black pepper flavors that end on a perky note. Drink now through 2031.	Wine Spectator	92		2025-04-07
2022	Frey	Syrah North Coast	This offering from a pioneering domestic organic wine producer offers rich, generous blackberry, coffee bean, rosemary and bittersweet chocolate. The palate conveys boysenberry jam, cracked black peppercorn, roasted walnut, orange zest and mouthwatering tannins to finish. Decant and enjoy with grilled double pork chop, purple cabbage and mushrooms. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-04-07
2022	Pacific Redwood	Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast	This wine lives up to its name, with a flavor profile influenced by the redwoods and the ocean. Aromas on the nose are huckleberry, red currant jam, orange-vanilla cream and baking spices. The mouthfeel offers concentrated blackberry jam, cardamom, lime cream and silky tannins to finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-04-07
2021	Frey	Merlot North Coast	Nuances of molten chocolate, blackberry and candied orange slices dance across the nose on this wine, evoking memories of holiday fruit cake. The flavors are spot on, with more baked fruit, clove, cardamom and a lingering, dry finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-04-07
