2018 Paul Garaudet Meursault Le Limozin Chardonnay with concentration
Located on the southern slopes of the Cote d’Or, “Limozin” lays claim to being the best village-level wine in Meursault. It’s earned this outstanding reputation because Limozin shares the same hillside slope, exposure, and soil as its Premier Cru neighbors Charmes and Genevrieres. And in the expert hands of Paul Garaudet, this white Burgundy from the Cote de Beaune is a transformative experience. Paul’s Limozin is a wine to anticipate – a rare, fabulously stylish Chardonnay with citrus, honey, and apricot flavors that ends with a lovely, dry mineral finish. Available through Cynthia Hurley French Wines.
If you ask us, Merlot never deserved the hate it has received over the years, but now it may get the last word, as it is finally making its well deserved comeback.

2022 Vigneau-Chevreau Vouvray Cuvée Silex expressive and pure Chenin Blanc.
he Vigneau-Chevreau family makes this beautifully expressive dry Vouvray. The Cuvée takes its name from the “flinty” soil in which the vines are planted, which results in the wine’s rich minerality. Devotees of this Vouvray rave, time and time again, about the Silex’s “cool,” “crisp,” and “pure fruit” qualities that set it apart from other wines. We have to agree. The flavors of this 100% Chenin Blanc are so pure it easily charms – lemons and minerals burst from the glass in each luscious sip. The wine is dry (but not a steely, steely dry), leaving you happily satisfied. Available through Cynthia Hurley French Wines
We had a fantastic time with Goldschmidt Vineyards assistant winemaker Claudia Del Rio! Account visits, staff trainings and consumer events. We all know Nick is a great winemaker and a one of a kind personality, but it was wonderful to have Claudia showcasing her talent, passion and unique perspective. Thanks for a great visit!
Domaine Berthenet Les Bonneveaux 2019 sensational 1er Cru Montagny There’s nothing like a great Burgundy, and this find from the Berthenet family had us at a loss for words – exquisite, sublime, delicate. This aromatic White Burgundy comes from a small plot in Montagny 1er Cru Les Bonneveaux that competes with the high-priced, well-known appellation of Meursault. Beautiful, lean, floral, mineral-rich Chardonnay whose light oak treatment concentrates the pure apple and citrus flavors. Francois only made 200 cases of this wine, and we begged to get what we could. You won’t be disappointed.
Recently named in Decanter’s “Montagny: 10 Names To Know”, the Berthenet’s have a long tradition of sustainable farming. They are also committed to raising the profile of Montagny wines. Francois believes that by highlighting the individual climates, and not blending across them, he can give each vineyard the recognition it deserves and increase the regional appeal. Available through Cynthia Hurley French Wines. Contact us for pricing and availability.

2018 Paul Garaudet’s Extraordinary Cuvee Paul- Paul Gauradet is the real deal in Burgundy. He is an extremely talented winemaker who crafts superb Pinot Noir’s from his estate based in Monthelie, which is in the Cote de Beaune. Paul’s Cuvee Paul from Monthelie proves that great Burgundy can deliver weightlessness, power, and charm and still be affordable.
Monthelie is a little hillside Arcadia, which straddles the borders of Volnay and Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. It’s hillside vineyards get excellent exposure and lie on high-quality alluvial deposits that produce Pinot Noir with intoxicatingly delicate perfumed aromas and silky tannins. Before Monthelie became it’s own appellation, the wines were labeled as Volnay. With that being the case this wine delivers way beyond its price point. Available through Cynthia Hurley French Wines. Contact for details.

Domaine J Laurens, Le Graimenous Brut, Cremant de Limoux
“Complex nose, full of citrus fruits and wildflower honey. Immediately impactful but with a lightness of touch. Crisp green apples supported by lemon and lime juiciness, good acidity keeping it refreshing. Balanced, and a more serious wine in some ways, so would be excellent with food.” 93 Decanter Available through Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

What really makes this winery unique? Bodega Nivarius exclusively produces white wines from native varieties such as White Maturana, Viura, and Garnacha Blanca.
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 800-850 meters in Nalda. They are north-facing, planted in soils formed in the Cretaceous period. The soil consists of a layer of sand over a subsoil of fragmented limestone, which provides excellent structure and drainage. The result is wines with good tension that express the terroir from which they come and exceptional aging potential.

2020 Domaine Lavigne Saumur BlancThe Lavigne family’s Chenin Blanc is a delicious food-friendly white that’s perfect for keeping chilled in the fridge. In a word, this Chenin Blanc is “Charmant.” It delights your taste buds with flavors of pears, grapefruits, and lemons. But, this seemingly simple citrus melody also has unusual complexity. Witnessing the care the family puts into every winemaking decision removes any mystery as to why their Saumur Blanc is, frankly, so much better than the other Chenin Blancs out there.

11.11.2021- 2018 Paul Garaudet Pommard- intensity, concentration and richness.
Deep in color, aromatic, and full of robust, rich flavors, Pommard is considered the defining standard for red Burgundy. Pommard’s intriguing Pinot Noir complexity strikes a magical balance between muscularity, full-bodied richness, and pure grace. There are not a lot of Burgundies that can make that claim. Paul Garaudet is a master who creates astounding wines that last. This wine comes from his one hectare in Pommard, which yields only 150 cases. ASvailable through Cyntrhia Hurley French Wines.

92 Points & Best Buy “…this wine bridges summer cherries and August cherry tomatoes in its gentle spicy and juicy ripeness. The delicate tannins raise it to another level, adding scents of roses, the earthiness of fig skin and what Daniel Osman of the Dream Away Lodge in Becket, MA, described as “tight, tongue-twisting acai astringency.” Give it time in a decanter as you prep cioppino.” —Joshua Greene

A glass of this Rosé delivers refreshment with delicious flavors and minerality. Try serving it with light, savory dishes – salads, pizzas, grilled meat, and fish – but it’s also terrific on its own. Available Through Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

Philippe Leclerc and his wines are extraordinary, and Les Bon Batons is a beautiful example of a very traditional Bourgogne Rouge with lots of muscle, flavor, and depth. “Les Bon Batons” is located in the Côte de Nuits just on the other side of the road of Chambolle-Musigny. It is a small vineyard (less than 2 acres) and is one of the elusive Bourgogne level bottlings allowed a single vineyard name. We hold fast to those dedicated winemakers who do not rush to get their wines to market quickly. Leclerc does everything to preserve the essence of craft and terroir. We love this wine because it’s everything you want in a 1st class Pinot Noir from Burgundy that won’t break the bank. Available from Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

Champagne has a way of transforming a party into a celebration, all with its ceremonial “Pop.” We can’t think of a better way to treat ourselves than with a bottle of the good stuff, and by that, we mean Grower Champagne. The PetitJean-Pienne’s Champagnes are exquisite, dry, and creamy. From this small but mighty house comes some of the best Champagnes we’ve tasted with grapes from their own vineyards. Elegant and golden robed, the Coeur de Chardonnay is a stunning Grand Cru Champagne that reveals the fantastic chalk soils of the Côte des Blanc.The Brut Rosé is singularly refreshing with fruit and elegance in a beautiful shade of salmon. Both wines have very fine bubbles with a hint of minerality that unfolds as the perfect accompaniment to lobster salad, oysters, sushi, and even a weekend brunch favorite – Eggs-Benedict.

4.09.2021- Great article! What’s your take on wine influencers?
For so long the major wine press has controlled the wine review world. Now influencers have stepped in and some people don’t like it.
While there is no question the press helps sell massive amounts wine and I have certainly benefited countless times from a great review, we need more people drinking wine, so we must broaden our reach and welcome other voices. It is a great way to reach those not targeted by typical wine marketing or for wineries selling what some may view as non traditional brands.
The idea that anyone with a phone can produce content and make a statement is very powerful. Small wineries who lack marketing budgets need to find low cost ways to build brand awareness. Depending on your target audience, sending a few bottles to someone to talk about on their Instagram, is a hell of a lot cheaper and possibly further reaching than traditional advertising.

4.07.2021- An exciting new producer from Priorat joins the Cynthia Hurley Portfolio!
The first releases from Bodega Bravo Escos – A small artisan winery founded by Luis Bravo, is located right in the heart of the Priorat, near Torroja del Priorat.
Amazing viticultural practices, sustainable (soon to be certified organic), working with both indigenous and international varietals, resulting in modern wines that are extremely expressive, refined and elegant.
“Work with the soils. Get to know them, experiment with the compounds of the land: clay, rocks, slates, granites, the contrasts… It’s not the barrel that creates the soul, it’s the soil that gives character.”

4.06.2021- Cara Nord Blanc 2018 intense and fresh mountain wine
Mountain fruit makes excellent wine, and this wonderfully crisp white from Cara Nord Blanc is a superb example. Cara Nord was established by three good friends and winemakers who wanted to make high-altitude wines. This blend of Macabeu, Chardonnay, and Trepat delivers pure enjoyment from their backbreaking efforts. Cara Nord Blanc is somewhat exotic, with a hint of salinity and a velvety soft texture. The wine’s aromas are subtle – green plum and grapefruit with a floral background. A sip reveals tropical flavors such as pineapple and passion fruit with distinctive mineral notes. Authentic and unique, this white will make your fried seafood or grilled shrimp sing. Available in FL & NJ from Cynthia Hurley French Wines

4.01.2021- 2018 Collovray et Terrier Viré-Clessé
When we look to find a great value Chardonnay in Burgundy, we head south to the Mâconnais. That’s where you’ll find Domaine Collovray et Terrier, who craft high-quality everyday wines at everyday prices. The Viré-Clessé is 100% Chardonnay that is concentrated and aromatic. The wine’s pale golden color gives way to a beautiful bouquet of acacia and possibly almond flowers. It has hints of lemon and apples on the palate, with a delicate round mouthfeel and richness. As with French Chardonnay, the wonderful flavors are pure since there is no heavy-handed oak treatment. It’s a solid value that always great to have on hand when you crave one delicious glass of white Burgundy. Available in FL & NJ from Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

3.16.2021- DNA from ancient grape seeds shows the grapevine behind a local vintage has been cultivated continuously for 900 years.
Ancient grapes found at archaeological sites also reveal what the Romans grew in their vineyards 2,000 years ago.

3.15.2021- If the price point is the biggest factor you consider when you’re buying wine, you may be inadvertently affecting your wine-drinking experience.
The study concludes that those who think they are drinking a more expensive bottle, actually say it tastes better and have a more enjoyable experience.
Wine is so heavily influence by the setting, people, food and the experience you are having while drinking. In the right setting, a $5 bottle be as enjoyable as a $50 bottle. In the wrong setting, a $500 bottle can taste like sour grapes.

2.26.2021- NEW from Cynthia Hurley- Bodega Bravo Escos LA FONT DEL MOSQUIT 2019
VITICULTURE: La Font del Mosquit is a white wine from several farms located in Torroja del Priorat. The terrain is composed of various slates, argilo-calcareous stones and alluvial soil. Macabeu vines up to one hundred years old and young White Grenache vines are grown under sustainable practices and are converting to Organic certification.
ELABORATION: The old vine Macabeu grapes are macerated on the skins for 12 hours before pressing. The younger Macabeu and the White Garnatxa grapes are directly pressed. Assembly of the must and spontaneous fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. The end of the fermentation and subsequent aging is done in 1,100 L polyethylene eggs.
Production: 1.600 bottles.
TASTING NOTES: Staying true to its name the wine reflects the complex soils where it is grown. On the nose it is discreet, with white citrus fruit and anise seed notes that accent the graphite slate found in the vineyards. The wine truly reveals itself on the palate. Voluminous and sauve highlighted by a delicate acidity is the best description. Bright citrus and floral notes keep the wine fresh and lively.
Voluminous, generous and fresch so is La Font del Mosquit.
VARIETALS: 90% Macabeu y 10% White Grenache.
2.25.2021- No and low alcohol drinks projected to increase 31% by 2024.
The global no/low alcohol market is projected to continue growing as consumers seek to reduce their alcohol consumption. “What we’re seeing is a moderation trend that’s sweeping across key global markets, and that’s bringing with it increased demand for reduced alcohol, or alcohol-free drinks,” says IWSR.
Most of the people I talk to who are making this choice, still want their cocktail, or glass of wine. The frequency is what they are adjusting. So it may not be the low alc or no alc choice all the time, but it’s more in the mix.
Diversifying to have more choices for all possible customers is becoming essential. I am adding an exciting new low alc brand to my broker portfolio for FL & GA. Look forward to announcing soon.
2.24.2021- Pierre Gaillard Clos de Cuminaille 2019 from a walled-vineyard in St. Joseph.
“Beautiful combination of fresh blackberry, bacon fat and cinnamon spice. This is rounded, concentrated and elegant on the palate. No excess weight or alcohol, lovely deep-set acidity and a long finish. An exceptional vintage for Cuminaille. Such a beautiful wine, as good as many Côte-Rôties this year. Smart buy. A 3ha plot in Chavanay grown on granite planted in 1981. All destemmed. Aged for 18 months in barriques, 40% new. Drink 2021-2027.” 94 Decanter Available FL & NJ from Cynthia Hurley French Wines

2.22.2021- Some of the worlds greatest wines are made at both low and high elevations, so what difference does altitude make?
Depending on location and climate, altitude has outcomes that can be decisive when it comes to wine style.
When it comes to elevation, sometimes high is not the top. The highest elevation vineyard in the world (in Tibet), is nearly twice as high as the highest in California – Stone Summit Vineyard – which is the highest in the Northern Hemisphere.

2.18.2021- Sampling wines with clients is the new challenge. Virtual tastings are great, for sales and education, but the expense of sending entire bottles to be perhaps only tasted by one person and then (gasp) discarded adds up quickly.
Some wineries (even Bordeaux!~) are selling and sending samples in tube formats allowing just enough for a taste – 100ml. Now that size restrictions have been eased in the US, this could be the next evolution in sampling and virtual tastings.

2.17.2021- Courts in the US have delivered decisions that will frustrate those who want free trade in wine.Wine lovers took a big legal setback on Tuesday, as a US federal appeals court ruled that a Florida wine shop cannot ship wine to customers in Missouri, even though Missouri stores can.
We are strong believer in the three tiered system, but also in allowing consumers free access to the products they want. We can have both and still thrive.

2.9.2021- 2016 Cara Nord Trepat -High altitudes and harsh conditions result in wines with freshness and concentration, and who doesn’t like that? Well, high in the mountainous terrain of Spain’s Sierra des Prades, three amigos established Bodega Cara Nord to craft mountain wines that reflected this region’s uniqueness. This wine is made from Trepat, one of Spain’s indigenous grapes. This red, often compared to Pinot Noir, greets you with aromas of red fruits like cherries and blackberries. It remains fresh and juicy on the palate, and the subtle herbal touches on the finish add interest. Given the mountainous terrain, this joyful red is a delicious example of a high-quality, terroir-driven wine where the backbreaking effort creates pure enjoyment

The 2018 is dazzlingly aromatic with classic Pic citrus-grove Syrah notes: the palate is dense and rich yet fresh and aromatic, too. Drink 2021-2028.”- 94 Andrew Jeffords, Decanter. Available in FL & NJ frtom Cynthia Hurley French Wines.
1.28.2021- According to wine organization Vinpro, the South African wine industry now has more than 640 million liters of wine in stock (65 percent of a normal harvest).
The industry wide Covid closings and sales prohibition have decimated the entire industry. There is simply insufficient cellar/tank space to accommodate the expected yields of the 2021 vintage.
Supporting South Africa wine can literally save their entire industry.

This Zinfandel “exuded ripe aromas and flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, plum pudding, earth, dark chocolate and dark fruit. Spice filled with a thread of minerality, this complex, full-bodied Zinfandel offered food friendly acidity, firm tannins and a lingering, satisfying finish.” Cindy Rynning, Grape Experiences

Their savory red, made from Niellucio (Sangiovese), is a well-structured mouthful of cherry, black fruits, and spices that is an excellent pairing companion with grilled meats, cured sausages, and hard cheeses.

11.6.2020- Domaine de Mourchon continues to dazzle! Mourchon Grande Reserve 90pts Decanter…
“With a bit more Syrah than the Tradition, the 2017 Cotes du Rhone Villages Seguret Grande Reserve comes across as slightly peppery and herbal, with baked blackberry fruit accented by baking spices (40% of the assemblage spends two years in demi-muids). It’s full-bodied, rich and supple across the mid-palate, with tangy red berries and softly dusty tannins on the long finish. Drink 2019-2025”- Joe Czerwinksi, Wine Advocate

10.30.2020- One of the winemakers I work with was talking recently about this. Not trying to make low alc wines per se (11% or less), but lowering the alcohol content from its current level.
Many of us may remember or have tasted old school CA cabs that were 12.5%. Lower alcohol will give a truer grape expression, but will also change the flavor profile. Today, these wines wouldn’t score as well in the press as higher alcohol ones do.
https://www.winemag.com/2020/10/26/low-alcohol-wines-popular/
10.29.2020- Georgian winemaking has endured for thousands of years. According to archaeological evidence, the first Georgian wines were made and stored in earthenware vessels called qvevri around 8000 years ago.
Georgian natives David and Natalie Dediachvili bought the historic Story Winery in Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, to bring this tradition to CA.
The Qvevri Method involves pressing the grapes and then pouring the juice and grape skins, into the Qvevri (a large, egg-shaped clay vessel with narrow bottom and a wide mouth at the top), which are sealed and buried in the ground so that the wine can ferment.

10.26.2020- 2018 Chelsea Goldschmidt Merlot 92 Tasting Panel. For too long Merlot has taken a a backseat and is finally poised for its well deserved comeback. Merlot is still the second most widely planted grape varietal in the world, so why all the hate? Merlot is seeing it’s return as tastes swing back to deeper richer wine styles and away from the gulpy style of far too many Pinots. We have often Swapped out Chelsea Merlot for those seeking richness and depth. Not to fool anyone, but to show people what a great Mwrlot can do. It never fails to wine converts. Chelsea and all the Goldschmidt wines are available in NJ exclusively through Fedway Associates.
10.23.2020- 30 years ago, roughly 15% of all wines in the world had technical flaws. Today, winemaking and technology have become so skilled that flaws have been reduced to perhaps 3%.
That’s not to say these wines are all varietally correct or even good, but the flaws that once plagued wines have been greatly reduced.

10.12.2020- Geological events that occurred 150 million years ago, make up the structure and composition of soil that affects the character of grapes today.

9.30.2020- First published in 1984 by Ann C. Noble, sensory scientist at the Department of Viticulture and Enology UC Davis, the wine aroma wheel transformed wine tasting.
More than 35 years later, it remains one of the most influential and essential tools for people in the trade and wine lovers alike. It’s hard to imagine, but before the aroma wheels invention, people did not a have precise way to universally describe wine.

9.24.2020- Smoke has ravaged several vineyards in Napa and Sonoma. What does that mean for the perception of the 2020 vintage among buyers and consumers?
After running microferments, some producers have made the difficult decision to forgo their harvest entirely, while others remain unscatheed and are reporting very high quality fruit with lower yields.
Growers are also reporting the rejection of grapes by producers further complicating matters.
No matter where in CA (or Oregon) the wines are from, our work will be cut out for us in terms of selling this vintage. Let’s start now making sure buyers and consumers are educated ahead of time. Smoke did not ruin everything. Smoke in Napa does not impact grapes in Santa Barbara.
9.23.2020- Pago de los Abuelos, Bierzo, Vinas Centenarias Mencia 2018 95 Decanter Imported exclusively through Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

9.10.2020- LOIA in Spanish means a “rumor divulged in secret” – and this wine is just that. You’ll discover an enchanting, silky freshness on the midpalate of this elegant, dry white wine that is far too easy to love. This wine is anything but boring. A blend of Godello and Albarino, the wine has a complex, powerful nose that’s floral and fruity. On the palate, it develops with toasted and spicy hints, and dried fruit flavors, somewhat reminiscent of a Pouilly-Fume. You get great acidity and minerality – which gives this wine verve. We’ve paired it with heavier fish like salmon, and chicken dishes with cream sauces, much to our friend’s delight. Available in NJ & FL from Cynthia Hurley French Wines
9.9.2020- Aha Yeto Tequila Los Altos Jalisco Family owned for over 100 years. Estate grown and produced, copper pot distillation, organic with no additives. ALWAYS 100% Blue Agave using only the heart of the agave plant. leave the heads and tails for the big brands. Available in FL through Trotta Wines. Coming soon to other markets. Contact for info.
9.8.2020- Due to the fires, some wineries are not accepting grapes without labs, but there’s a massive testing backlog.
ETS Laboratories, the dominant provider, is reporting a 30 day backlog of samples for smoke impact testing.
There’s simply not enough time to test and get results before grapes are ready for harvested. This could to lead to delayed harvests (potentially pushing brix above 25) and significant crop loss for growers whos grapes are refused.

If you don’t diversify what you drink, the same thing that happens to consumers can happen to winemakers, sales reps and others in the trade. Your palate can become closed off to other wine experiences.
It’s important to keep an open mind, as it can be easy to pass on wine outside your comfort zone.

Established in 1921 by Baptiste Dutheil, then developed by his daughter, Madeleine Dutheil, and her husband René Couly, today Couly-Dutheil remains a family Domaine, owned by the third and fourth generation. Arnaud Couly is the fourth generation and current winemaker, having taken over from his father, Jacques Couly, in 2003. Couly Dutheil owns a total of 90 hectares of vines, 98% of which are Cabernet Franc. They sell 80% of their production within France, most of which is served at many of the finest restaurants in the country, including 21 of the 26 Michelin 3-Star restaurants.

Vinification: Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The free-run and press wine juices are separated.

Are you up selling? I have been amazed how few restaurants seem to be trying to upsell on their to go orders. I have not been asked once if I wanted cocktails or a bottle of wine when getting takeout/curbside pickup. I know many places that are open are understaffed, or having staffing issues, but don’t miss this opportunity for extra revenue and to sell off inventory.
Put a sign right by the phone reminding who ever is taking orders to ask.
Add a link to the wine/cocktail menu on your website or social media.
Have a select menu of wines that are ready for grab n go.
Those extra sales could really make a difference and might even allow you to bring back more staff.

7.21.2020- Domaine Lagneau shines as an example of a family-owned estate that even has a cellar that dates back to the 12th century. The Lagneaus purchased the property in 1978 in the village of Quincie-en-Beaujolais, located on the slopes of Mt. Brouilly. Currently, Didier Lagneau is the winemaker (he’s happiest among the vines), having taken over the reins from his father, Gerard. The Lagneaus have 12 ha Vieilles Vignes in Régnié that average 70 years-old, almost unheard of in this region. They pick everything by hand, sort by hand, and use natural yeast fermentation to produce a darkly robed wine with concentrated pure flavors. All of the fantastic aromatics from this beauty come from the terroir.

7.13.2020- If you could afford it, would you buy a Ferrari or a Honda?
Can a wine that costs $300 or more a bottle still be considered a value? Is there a definable QPR at the higher levels, or is it about something else? Something harder to define. A deeper meaning… a feeling you get.
Many of us in the trade have the privilege to experience the world’s greatest wines. These wines have shaped my perception of what makes wine great. Wine that is beyond outstanding, but almost otherworldly, that merely calling it wine does it a disservice. It is a bit abstract to anyone who has not had similar experience and like any art, it can be subjective. While I would love to, I don’t need to drink La Tache everyday to tell you it is an unforgettable experience. So if you walk away feeling your expectations were exceeded, your perception was altered, or your life was in some way changed, then even that luxury bottle was a value.

12.18.2019- Social media has been and will continue to be a huge part of wine marketing. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 69% (yes, Ronnie) of all U.S. adults use some form of social media, so wineries who are not active online, are missing out.
Only a fraction of potential customers will ever make to your cellar door. What are you doing to interact with your current customers and bring in new ones? What are you doing with that engagement? Are you listening and responding? How are you reacting?

12.6.2019- This cork regulates oxygen transfer rates resulting in less taste variability between different bottles of the same wine. The pores are large enough for oxygen molecules to pass through, but too small to allow passage of TCA and other contaminants, effectively screening out and blocking impurities from entering wine.

11.25.2019- Does a #1 ranking magically make a wine better? Earlier this week before the Wine Spectator’s #1 wine was announced, we somehow still had a few cases in stock. The day before the announcement, a retailer swooped in and bought our remaining inventory. Quite a coincidence I’m sure… The calls and emails came in on Friday, but it was too late. Sold out. Review or not, if a wine is great, it’s great. How many amazing undiscovered treasures are out there just waiting for their moment? The only difference, those wines need our help. Pick a wine in your portfolio and make it your project. Be it’s champion. Did the #1 ranking magically make the wine better? Of course not. It was already great.

10.29-2019- Announcing katherine Goldschmidt Stonemason Hill. Our old friend Kate has a new vineyard!
From Nick Goldschmidt:
Goldschmidt Vineyards is deeply vested in the culture of its wine. Nick has
been integrally involved in the choice of all our wines and their vineyard
provenance for everything that we make.
Katherine Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon has been part of our portfolio
with the first vintage being 2003. The opportunity to make this wine was
as part of a long relationship with Al DeLorimier that started when he was
the winemaker with Simi. The fruit from this vineyard consistently became
part of the Simi Reserve blend. When Al’s business changed Nick was
offered fruit that he had been working with for 15 years. The vineyard was
known as Crazy Creek and had been a collaborative vineyard/winemaking
effort during that time.
Goldschmidt Vineyards has successfully made Katherine Goldschmidt for 17
years based on this fruit. The program starting from a small production
base has now grown to a strongly recognized national brand.
The growth of the brand has meant that the wine production has now
outgrown the vineyard capacity. Seeing this coming, Nick had been
looking for a comparable replacement property that he would own and
control rather than lease. In 2017 Nick and Yolyn purchased, again in
Alexander Valley, The Staircase. This vineyard has a portion that was the
perfect fit to transition as the home base for the Katherine Goldschmidt
brand. The portion of this vineyard that is allocated to Katherine
Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon brand is called STONEMASON HILL, so-
called to acknowledge the rocks on this part of the property that lead up to
some of the stone-walled terraces above.
Nick believes that the character and terrior of this site will ensure the
continued stylistic and winemaking goals that have made the brand so
successful. While Katherine Goldschmidt is no longer a single vineyard
wine, it does have the home base of STONEMASON HILL which will always
be part of the blend. The name is proprietary to the brand, rather than a
vineyard designate.
The first vintage that will be branded under the STONEMASON HILL
designation will be the 2018.
10.28.2019- Château Lilian Ladouys 2016 Saint-Estèphe
Located on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in Saint-Estèphe, Château Lilian Ladouys has a long history that can thread its way back to the 1600s. Since 2008, the estate has been under the ownership of the Lorenzetti family. They have made considerable efforts to reparcel and restructure the vineyards, and modernize the wine making facilities all with the intention to boost the quality of wines. The estate totals 45 hectares, which is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. One of the most unique features of the estate is the combination of clay, limestone, and sand soils – considered to be the the best in all of Saint- Estèphe. The estate embraces sustainable farming and is on the forefront of Bordeaux moving in that direction.

91 pts. – Burghound “(from 70+ year old vines in Beugnons). Here too there is a hint of quinine to the more classically styled nose of white pepper, floral, citrus and iodine-suffused aromas. The rich and nicely refined medium weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality as well as good salinity on the very dry and sneaky long finish. This is really quite good and a wine that should reward mid-term cellaring. Drink 2024+.”- Allen Meadows, Burghound, Issue 76

10.09.2019- When doing tastings, I like comparing/contrasting styles. It’s often an eye opener for people who only drink CA Chard to try Chablis, or NZ Sauvignon Blanc drinkers to try a SB from Spain. For the more adventurous, I like to show unusual grape varieties. Too many people look and look for a wine the like, and when they finally find something, they lock themselves into that one wine or style and don’t move beyond it. If that’s you, you’re missing so much!

On their first run they picked up food from 3 restaurants and one supermarket and brought it to a drug rehab center and homeless shelter in Paterson. Today, with 6 trucks, they deliver to over 100 recipient agencies throughout Bergen, Hudson, Passaic and Essex counties. Last year Table to Table delivered over 22 million meals at a cost of about 10 cents per meal. This year their goal is to deliver over 23 million meals, with over 3 million specifically targeted to Newark.

5.7.2019- Domaine Berthenet, Tête de Cuvée 2016 “Editor Pick of Great Giftable Wines”- Wine Spectator
“A bright, juicy version, this offers peach, apple, floral and lemon flavors. Rich, yet backed by a lively structure that extends the finish. Drink now. Why It’s of Note: Montagny is the southernmost appellation in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise. It’s dominated by white wine and by the cooperative Cave de Buxy, which Jean-Pierre Berthenet left in 2001 to bottle his own wines. Though rich, this tête de cuvée, Berthenet’s flagship white from its 37 acres of vineyards, offers fine balance and freshness. It’s a terrific value for the quality.” 90 Wine Spectator
Available in FL and NJ from Cynrthia Hurley French Wines
5.6.2019- Chateau Routas takes the top award at James Suckling’s Best Rose of Thailand tasting! We are very proud of our friends at Routas. This amazingly affordable Rose rocks! Available In NJ exclusively through Fedway Associates. Also Available in FL contact us for details.

5.2.2019- Bergerie du Capucin Dame Jeanne 2016 Guilhem Viau is a tour de force in Pic St Loup. In 2008 he started Bergerie du Capucin that has grown into 15 ha with vineyard plots in 3 different areas of the appellation. Guilhem is the former president of the Pic St Loup appellation whose term ended in 2016 (coincidentally, this is the year when Pic St Loup was granted appellation status.) In 2017 Bergerie du Capucin was awarded the Trophy of the Grands Vins de France completion – ahem, meaning his wines have won top honors for 5 continuous years. His wines are winning Decanter World Wine Awards and he’s getting notice from the American Wine Press.

4.26.2019- Pierre Gaillard Cornas 2010- Pierre Gaillard makes spectacular wines. We love this robust and rounded red wine from Cornas and you will too. In fact we popped the cork just yesterday and it’s tasting awesome! The combination of Pierre Gaillard’s winemaking prowess and intelligence with the Cornas terroir, and the strong 2010 vintage all conspired to produce a spectacular glassful of Syrah from the Northern Rhone.
“Inky purple. A heady bouquet presents candied dark fruits, potpourri and black olive, with a bright mineral overtone. Deeply pitched cherry and blueberry flavors unfold with air to show a sexy floral nuance and a touch of licorice. Closes chewy and long, with resonating spiciness and slow-building, youthful tannins.” – 92 Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Available in NJ from Cynthia Hurley French Wines.
4.25.2019- Rose Piscine Always on the rock rose continues to dazzle! See why this tasty over ice, low alcohol wine deserves to be in your glass this summer!

4.23.2019- 2018 Routas Rose is drinking beautifully! The glut of rose is hurting legit wines from getting the attention they deserve! Rose season is kicking off late this year as retailers are still struggling to sell the 2017’s they over bought last year. Unlike so many other labels we were sold out of Routas last year in May! Don’t overstock random rose with no history, look at what sells and run with it. Routas is a go to producer still offering tremendous value ad quality. AND it SELLS! Last year James Suckling called this the best value rose in the world!
4.22.2019- Château Puy Galland Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux 2015
Bordeaux is everyone’s definition of great French Red Wine – very grand and very expensive. But, it’s not hard to find some low priced Bordeaux. What is VERY hard to find are Bordeaux wines for under $20 that really deliver the authentically rich, soft tannin, fruit driven Great Bordeaux experience. We’re willing to go out and break a trail if we must and Château Puy Galland from the Right Bank, Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux, is such a Bordeaux. This classy Bordeaux has flesh, richness, and black cherry flavors, and is made by Bernard Labatut – a winemaker whose livelihood actually depends upon making a knockout wine. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon this Right Bank Bordeaux is easily one of our favorite “Bordeaux for Tonight” reds.
4.19.2019- Last few cases of this beauty in stock. in NJ Fedway Associates.

4.17.2019- Volnay 2012 and 2013 from Henri Boillot
Volnay produces the finest and most elegant Pinot Noir in the Cote de Beaune. Here the vineyards sweep across the sloping hills and the vines face south-east, which results in the fabled, powerful Pinot Noir wines with the potential to age. In the hands of master winemaker Henri Boillot, this village level Volnay is not your everyday variety. It is sourced from five 1er premier cru vineyards, which makes it an incredible find for any Burgundy fan. Here are two vintages of Boillot’s Volnay, which are now just starting to hit their stride. We’ve done the cellaring for you – they are ready to drink. Available in FL & NJ from Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

“This producer’s top single-vineyard wine is richly structured and full of ripe berry fruits. A strong smoky character comes through the rich fruits and acidity to produce a classic Cabernet Franc flavor. It’s still surprisingly young, and will be better from 2020.”- 92 Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 4/2019. Available in Florida and New jersey from Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

4.8.2019- Domaine Lagneau Beaujolais Cru Régnié, Vieilles Vignes 2016
“Bright ruby. Ripe black and blue fruits, cocoa powder and a hint of lavender on the perfumed nose. Broad, fleshy and sweet, in the style of the vintage, displaying intense cherry and boysenberry flavors that deepen and stretch out slowly with air. Shows sweet, velvety character on the gently tannic finish, which hangs on with very good tenacity and lingering florality. Drink 2021-2026.”- Josh Raynolds, Vinous Available in NJ & FL from Cynthia Hurley French wines.

2.28.2019- Eric de Suremain Rully 1er Cru Preaux 2015 a fantastic 1er Cru Burgundy! Eric de Suremain (Suremain means ‘sure hand’ in French) inherited Château de Monthelie from his grandfather, Robert, in 1983. The Château sits on the side of a hill in Monthelie, but he also has vineyards in Rully, which is a good thing, a very good thing for us. Rully is one of the magical villages in the Cote Chalonnais,the area just south of the more famous Cote de Beaune. It is known for both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and it is also the place where you will find great value. Eric is way ahead of his time. In 1996 he took his vineyards biodynamic. But, that doesn’t mean he’s a man to embrace every little technological miracle that comes along. Eric still believes in getting up close and personal with his grapes. You’ll find him out in the fields where his vines are old and he keeps his yields very low. He is restrained when it comes to new wood.
2.27.2018- Its always Rose time in Florida! Let us sample you on this fantastic Piscine – always over ice style of Rose. A very unique product with a wider flavor pallet than most rose.

2.20.2019- Great to be back in New Jersey. Thanks for sending the snow to remind us of the Jersey winetr we’re missing while living in Florida!
Ninot Rully 1er Cru is a delightful Burgundy from Cote Chalonnaise. Erell Ninot is one of those perfectionist, over-achieving growers and winemakers that we’re proud to support. In 2005, Erell took over Domaine Ninot from her father, to continue the family’s legacy that dates back to 1313 and still family owned! Rully is a village and winegrowing area in the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. The Côte Chalonnaise is just south of the more famous Côte de Beaune. In the Chalonnaise there is not just one hill, as there is in the Côte d’Or, but a jumble of hills. La Barre is a special vineyard located on the plateau of Rully with clay and limestone soil. Affordable and Burgundy are two things that dont usualy go hand in hand, but this wine is just that… a fantastic wine at a very affordable price!
Available in New Jersey & Florida. Contact us for details.

2.16.2019- les Hautes Cances Côtes du Rhône 2014 very old-vines contribute concentration. Jean-Marie and Anne-Marie Astart work out of a modest house in the middle of the village of Cairanne in the Southern Rhône Valley. Anne-Marie’s great grandparents created Domaine les Hautes Cances in 1890. The Astart’s care for this hillside plot just as their more expensive Cairanne vines. In fact, the yields are low because of the 50+ year-old vines – about 35 hl/ha which is 40% below the average Côtes du Rhône. The soil is a magic hillside clay-limestone that drains from the top and yet harbors water deep in the earth to nourish the vines during times of drought, which are frequent in the southern Rhone.
Amazing value Cotes du Rhone! Available in NJ & FL from Cynthia Hurley French Wines

2.13.2019- Domaine Testut Amazing small Production Premier Cru Chardonnay from the heart of Chablis. If you love wine for its purity and harmony with the soil, for our money look no further than Chablis. The regions cool climate and clay-limestone soil, results in possibly the purest Chardonnay on the planet. Since typically several different producers have plots in the same vineyards, it is always fascinating to taste different producers wines and see how varied they can be even from the same vineyard. Want to read up on Chablis? Heres a cool article: https://www.winemag.com/2018/10/10/chablis-the-purest-chardonnay/
Available in Nj & FL through Cynthia Hurley French Wines. Domaine Testut delivers Chablis, Preier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings.
2.12.2019- 2018 Routas Rose is on its way to NJ! We cant wait for the new vintage to arrive in March. Last year, our entire allocation sold out in about a month. While we have more wine available this year, we expect it to move quickly. Provence Rose of this quality at his price is something not to be missed.
Available in NJ exclusively through Fedway Associates. We have a very small allocation available for Florida. Contact is for details.
2.11.2018- Domaine Lagneau Régnié 2016 intensity from 70 year-old vines. Domaine Lagneau is a small, top-notch producer in Beaujolais. This black-fruited 100% Gamay Cru Beaujolais offers bright fruity concentrated flavors thanks to 70 year-old vines and pink granite soil in Régnié. With mild tannins, mineral, spice, and aromatic black cherry and black current flavors it has everything to make it a food-friendly wine that delivers all sorts of dining possibilities. Put a slight chill on this bottle and you are good to go.
Domaine Lagneau shines as an example of a family-owned estate. The domaine is owned by the Lagneau family – Gerard, Jeannine and their son Didier. They purchased the property in 1978 in the village of Quincie-en-Beaujolais, located on the slopes of Mt. Brouilly. It has its own cellar that dates to the 12th century. Currently, Didier is the winemaker (he’s happiest among the vines), having taken over the reigns from his father. The Lagneaus have 12 ha Vieilles Vignes in Régnié that average 70 years-old, almost unheard of in this region. They pick everything by hand, sort by hand, and use natural yeast fermentation to produce a darkly robed wine with concentrated pure flavors. All of the amazing aromatics from this beauty come from terroir. Régnié is not as well-known as some other Cru Beaujolais such as Morgon, Chrioubles, or Brouilly. One reason might be that it’s the newest kid on the block (it was awarded Cru status in 1988). In fact, it’s dubbed as the “Prince of Crus” thanks to the grand church located in the small town of Régnié-Durette. But, it’s got so much going for it – especially this savory concentrated beauty from the Lagneaus. Imagine the fresh fruit of Brouilly paired with the structure of a Morgon – well that’s Régnié. The Lagneaus make this wine in the traditional Beaujolais method. Didier lets the Gamay grapes undergo semi-carbonic maceration (the grapes ferment in their own skins) and then the wine is aged in neutral concrete tanks. Available in New Jersey & Florida from Cynthia Hurley French Wines.
2.8.2019- We hope to have a big announcement soon for our Florida wine friends. Here’s a hint… Stay tuned!
2.7.2019- Hilary Goldschmidt Cabernet Oakville continues to over deliver and defy the trend of over priced Napa wines. A quick look on the Oakville map will show you that EVERYONE else in in this AVA charges 2x, 3x, 10x more for their wines as Goldschmidt does for their 100% Cab, 100% single vineyard, 100% French oak Cabernet. Don’t ask how hwe does it or why he does it, just be glad he does! Available in NJ exclusively through Fedway associates.
2.6.2019- 2015 Pedroncelli Three Vineyards Cabernet- Pedroncelli doesn’t make blockbuster wines. Pedroncelli doesn’t make flashy over extracted wines. Pedroncelli doesn’t have a huge marketing budget. BUT since 1927, Pedroncelli has been producing honest, affordable, well styled wines that always over deliver, are great with food and still have the support of the Pedroncelli family. Theses wines are deserving of your attention and belong in your glass! Available in NJ exclusively through Fedway Associates
2.5.2019- We are seeking a south Florida distributor to help us get a few exciting brands to market. We have customers for these wine, but we need a distributor partner with a small to medium sized sales force to help us in the market. Any interest or recommendations would be most appreciated!
2.4.2019- Check out the awesome new label for Nick Goldschmidt very limited Goldschmidt Plus bottling. From a tiny production bottling of only two barrels, this wine is so special it must be tasted and explained. For that reason in 2019, we will be doing seminars with our retail and restaurant partners to taste and explain how the wine is made and how to share that information with their customers to help make the sales of this amazing wine more impactful. If you are interested in a seminar contact us for details. 
2.1.2019- We received confirmation today… Our order is ready for pick up and will soon be in NJ! Cant wait!
1.31.2019- Pedroncelli Rose of Zinfandel- The original “White Zin”. When Pedroncelli introduced their rose of zin to the market in the 1950’s, it was a first, and sold quite well, but then along came the high residual sugar white zins we know today. It;s a shame because those sweet sugary wines gave “real” White Zin a bad reputation among wine drinkers. Drinking this wine is like stepping into a time machine and seeing what winemaking was like 50 or 60 years ago in California. This is a great all season rose that works so well with a wide range of food. A bit more dense, rich and quite dry, thanks to the use of 10% Zinfandel. We love it with BBQ, Pizza, Salads and so much more.
1.30.2019- Make any time summertime and any day a day at the beach with Rose Piscine. Thos refereshing always over ice rose continue to win fans. Just one sip and your a Piscine drinker! Available in Nj exclusively from Fedway Associates. Available in Florida from Trotta wines (west coast). 
1.29.2019- Couly Dutheil’s Les Chanteaux 2017 Chenin Blanc From Chinon – Couly-Dutheil’s Les Chanteaux has such a huge fan club that it’s tough to keep this in stock. Couly-Dutheil makes fewer than 1,500 cases of Les Chanteaux each year, the vast majority of which is scooped up by France’s finest restaurants.
Les Chanteaux is 100% Chenin Blanc, grown in two different vineyards in Chinon: Les Goupillieres and Les Molieres, both known for their chalky soil and sunny exposures. The chalk in the soil is an essential aspect of the terroir – the Chenin Blanc grape requires that chalkiness to develop it’s pronounced acidity. In white wines acidity is what makes the difference and between refreshing, crisp vibrancy and just OK. It also magnifies the fruit.
Availabe in NJ & Florida from Cynrthia Hurley French Wines. Contact us for pricing and availability.
1.28.2019- To Our NJ Wholesale partners welcome back from Shutdown! We ope you had a great week. We are here and ready to help you in anyway possible.

12.26.2018- Berthenet Montagny 1er Cru Les Platières 2016 small parcel, mid-slope, clay-iron rich soils.
This aromatic White Burgundy comes from a 1.37 ha plot in 1er cru Platières, Montagny made by one of our newest producers – the Berthenet family. We’re talking about beautiful, mineral rich Chardonnay that sees light oak treatment and unfolds in glorious apple, pear, and peach flavors. Montagny has definitely developed it’s own niche, rather than trying to compete with the high-priced, more well-known appellations such as Meursault. This food lover’s wine has subtle nuances – a concentrated nose of white flowers, and fresh fruits with a long lingering finish. Available in NJ & Fl through Cynthia Hurley French Wines.

12.4.2015- We have experience a lot of great wine this year, but the award for the most unique wine we tasted in 2018 would definitely go to Bodegas Ton Rimbau Porcellanic xarel.lo Sur-Lie. I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding biodynamic and natural wines, but there is just something so special within this ceramic vessel. It almost hearkens back to a lost time, a lost art of winemaking. Was this what wine was like hundreds of years ago? Before intervention, before chemicals, before mechanical means. Permaculture vineyard of 3.5h of xarello. More like a a forest, than a vineyard. Even the label is made from a wooden tag to avoid the use of glue on a label. A very unique and beguiling aroma of tangerine peel, lychees, licorice and raspberries. On the palate, this wine is powerful, fresh and well-structured with a mouth-filling explosion of ripe fruits and finesse from the oak. The wine seems to change with every sip, An experience to remember

Bushnell Vineyard has been closely related to the Pedroncelli family for over 50 years. Winery founder John Sr. purchased the property in 1943, and, at the time, it was planted to Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane. The vineyard was sold to son-in-law Al Pedroni in the 1950s and he tended the vineyard for over 40 years. Al’s daughter Carol Bushnell inherited the vineyard in the 1990s and she and her husband Jim now farm it. They grow
Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.

9.25.2018- Domaine Testut – Domaine Testut is a small family domaine now run by Cyril Testut. Cryil took over the reigns from his father in 1998 and has been making amazing Chablis with great precision. The majority of the Testut’s vineyards are located in the old historical section of Chablis – even those for his village-level Chablis – originally planted by the Cistercian monks. All the family’s vineyards are planted on Kimmeridgian soil with the majority of his vineyards located on the right bank of the Serein River.
“(from a .32 ha parcel; note that Testut uses a different spelling for the vineyard as they do not use the more typical “Grenouilles”; bottled November 2017). A distinctly cool and restrained nose somewhat grudgingly offers up notes of dried orchard fruit, oyster shell, citrus and a suggestion of iodine. The more tightly wound and mineral-driven flavors possess a bit more size and weight along with much better power on the sappy, concentrated and impressively intense and persistent finish. This too is really very good and worth considering. Drink 2023+.”– Allen Meadows, Burghound Issue 72

Named after his two daughters, Frederic makes it from equal parts Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The Grenache vines are 130 years-old, the Mourvèdre vines are 100 years-old, and the Syrah vines are 80 years-old. After a long maceration of 30 days, the wine ages for 18 months in concrete, stainless steel and new oak barrels. Because of the concentration of fruit from the old vines, the new wood is not a dominating feature.

https://sonomawinegrape.org/sustainability/sonoma-county-sustainable-label/
1.24.2018- Eric de Suremain 2014 White Burgundies classic vintage, 1er Cru fruit, biodynamic
Eric de Suremain is about making great wine and he does so biodynamically. We scooped up a limited amount of his small production White Burgundies from his 1er Cru vineyards in Rully. Eric calls his cuvee made from his Rully 1er Cru Agneaux vineyards, L’incomprise, “the misunderstanding.” By harvesting early to maintain his quality standards, Eric lost the chance to use the 1er Cru name. Eric calls his Rully 1er Cru Pillot L’intemporelle because of the wine’s “timeless” nature sourced from vines planted in the 1920s. Both wines are from the 2014 vintage, which has been called classic. They have the power of the 2015s with the acidity of the 2013s. Needless to say, these are very limited. Dont miss this fantastic experience!
1.23.2018- 2016 Chelsea Goldschmidt Merlot now in stock! This has long been a favorite of ours and with good reason… amazing quality fruit from a single vineyard at a very reasonable price. Its cool to drink Merlot!! Check out the updated label. Available in NJ exclusively through Fedway Associates.

1.19.2018- Couly-Dutheil La Coulee Automnale Cabernet Franc. Without a doubt, Couly Dutheil is one of the “stars” of our portfolio of producers. Here is their entry-level Cabernet Franc. The wine has a pretty purple and ruby color and the nose is steeped with red berries and a hint of campfire aromas. We love this wine for its versatility and soft tannins. The 2015 is being hailed as one of the best Loire vintages ever, especially in Chinon!
Available in NJ through Cynthia Hurley French Wines Let us sample it with you!

“The 2015 Gigondas is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, matured in concrete. It starts with a stunning display of garrigue and spice on the nose, followed by ripe cherry fruit on the full-bodied, creamy palate. There’s a touch of warmth to the lingering finish, so I would opt to drink this by 2025.” 92 points – Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate

1.9.2018- Exciting news! Rose Piscine is coming to NJ! The newest addition to our portfolio will be available through exclusively Fedway Associates starting March 1! Contact us for details and to sample.
1.8.2018- Jean-Pierre Large’s Morgon 2014 One Grape, One Winemaker, One Very Fine Beaujolais Cru Jean-Pierre Large’s Morgon brings to the table a distinctively different expression of the juicy red fruit of the Gamay grape. Enhanced by the age of the vines and the depth of the vineyard soil of the Morgon terroir (factors which add weight and complexity to the wine), Jean-Pierre’s Morgon boasts darker, more robust flavors than your typical Beaujolais Cru and some find it has Pinot Noir-esque depth and complexity. All you need to do is put a slight chill on this wine and then serve.

It has a fresh redcurrant and raspberry-scented bouquet. The palate is ripe and crisp on the nose, well balanced with sappy blackberry and blueberry fruit and impressive tension and structure on the finish, suggesting that this should give eight to ten years of pleasure.

11.27.2017- The life of a broker… sometimes even when you do all the right things, you are still sent packing. Wineries are sold and often the new owners don’t have the same vision or understanding for the relationships that helped build their brand. Being in business for yourself is never easy, but this is a lesson to always have a backup plan and never let relationships cloud your judgement. My goal now is not to punish them for ending our agreement… that’s just business, but to find competing brands at the same wholesaler to go up against theirs. Nothing personal… just business like this two sentence letter. While it would be awful to see all the hard work we have done evaporate into nothing, it would be gratifying to know we were the linchpin that made the brand a success in the market. We wish them best of luck in their future endeavors.

11.22.2017- Pomerols are celebrated as the best expression of Merlot. This humble and charming Right Bank commune, dominated by clay-rich soils, transforms Merlot into rich and smooth wines that are among the most sought after Bordeaux. Château Tour Robert delivers the Pomerol goods with its very dark red (almost) black appearance and aromatic nose complete with ripe plums and black fruits. Velvety textured with a long finish – this 100% Merlot has some age, so you can pop the cork tonight. This wine is arriving next week and we received a limited number of cases.

11.21.2017- Domaine Mourchon named #52 on The Wine Spectator top 100! We hate to say we told you so, but with all the great press and the amazing quality of this wine for the money, we know this would be a top 100 wine! Unfortunately we are now sold out. Good new is that the 2015 is on its way and it was an even better vintage!
11.20.2017- Another Great Thanksgiving suggestion is Cru Beaujolais. The flavors are perfect for the wide range of food served. We’re not talking Nouveau here! We have many great selections! Here’s two of our favs:
Domaine Lagneau is a small, top-notch producer in Beaujolais. This black-fruited 100% Gamay Cru Beaujolais offers concentrated flavors thanks to 70-year-old vines and pink granite soil. With mild tannins, mineral, spice, and aromatic black cherry and black current flavors it has everything to make it a food-friendly wine that delivers all sorts of dining possibilities. Steven Spurrier 90 Cellar Beaujolais selection:
Cheysson Chiroubles 2015 Chiroubles 90 Wine Enthusiast
From one of the leading estates in this cru appellation, the wine is structured and firm and likely to age well. With black cherry and red-currant fruits it is crisp although with its solid texture it should broaden out. Drink this wine from 2018.
11.16.2017- Oh what to drink for Thanksgiving? So many great choices but we re partial to Zinfandel! Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel & Bushnell Zinfandel are two fantastic Zin’s!

11.9.2017- Château Villars, Fronsac 2012 great fruit, great mouthfeel, great price!
“One of the top Fronsacs year in and year out, this blend of 76% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a gorgeous, deep ruby/purple color and sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit. Nice minerality and a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel make for a top-notch Fronsac in this vintage. The color is a healthy ruby/purple and the wine capable of lasting at least 10-15 years.” – 90pts Robert Parker,The Wine Advocate

“One of the old, iconic Italian families of Sonoma, the Pedroncelli’s have been farming vineyards since 1927. They obviously survived Prohibition, and consumers are all the better for it.

Pedroncelli Winery
1927-2017
90 years in the Dry Creek
From the oldest Cabernet vineyard in the Dry Creek
Wisdom Longevity instills it in each generation. Sensing the right varietal and aspect of the vines is borne of a lifetime tilling the soil. Discerning and experienced hands craft the wine from vine to barrel to bottle and when these elements come together it is called Wisdom. A tribute to John Pedroncelli.
Vineyard Background Located 2 miles west of the winery, we purchased the property in the 1960s. Comprised of 5 acres on the west slope of the Dry Creek Valley along West Dry Creek Road. Planted to Cabernet Sauvignon since 1965, a recent replanting included the addition of Malbec. 50 years of growing Cabernet on in this soil, in this microclimate brings unparalleled Wisdom. The Wine 2012 was an ideal growing season with mild temperatures and opportune warming trends to ripen grapes to full maturity. Yields and fruit quality were exceptional.
2012 marks the inaugural vintage of this wonderful Estate Cabernet. Full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of black plum, warm spice and currants. The rich flavors of ripe plum, berry and black pepper are woven with mellow tannins and great acidity. Like all wines from Pedroncelli, this is a remarkable value!
