Domestic Wine Buyer Ryan Woodhouse has a fantastic job. Because he’s located in Napa, he has access to small, independent winemakers and the most prestigious cult winemakers in the business alike. You’ll often find him out and about in vineyards and cellars all around California with some of the brightest lights making wine today. Because of those personal connections, he brings us remarkable deals in Domestic wine that would be impossible otherwise. The other thing to know about Ryan: his palate is impressively elegant. When he picks out a wine, you can bet it’ll have gorgeous acid structure and depth of character. His California wines are not jammy; they’re not hyper-experimental or trendy. They are well-made testaments to this new era of winemaking in the U.S.—one that is in its sweet spot of sophistication and artistry. Below are his picks for the holidays.
