Billecart-Salmon "Le Rosé" Champagne
Review Date: 07-07-2021
Mathieu Billecart calls this their "Princess of Rosé," as it comes from their younger vineyards, and the young lively vines impart a nice freshness. 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 30% Pinot Meunier. An ethereal pink color, with a nose of fresh strawberries and white blossom. It shows juicy berry fruit on the palate. Delicious! It's one of our most popular rosé Champagnes for good reason: it's incredibly easy to drink.
Launois Brut Rosé "Valentine" Champagne
Review Date: 07-07-2021
A Pinot Noir made in the signature creamy, elegant style that has made Launois beloved by customers and staff alike. A wine of great finesse, with floral and raspberry notes and delicate bubbles. It is perfection with a summer nectarine caprese salad.

2020 Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan 6-Pack in OWC
Review Date: 07-07-2021
17.5% Cabernet Franc (up from the usual 8% but this year the Cab Franc was really great), 48.2% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon. My first note was “WOW!” with a heart beside it. It is a knockout. The palate unfolds in layers of rich dark chocolate, espresso, crushed rocks, sweet cassis fruit, and then a long long long finish that just doesn’t quit. This wine is absolutely brilliant.

2020 Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac
Review Date: 06-22-2021
This wine is wonderful, one of my favorites of the vintage. Delicious waves of chocolate, mocha, cherry, and graphite careen on your palate. It has silky smooth tannins with a full mouthfeel and is so balanced. The fruit is integrated, it has power and freshness and complexity—the whole package. I didn’t want to stop tasting this.
Tamagawa "Red Label" Heirloom Yamahai Genshu Sake (720ml)
Review Date: 08-17-2018
This earthy, intense sake is made by the first-ever non-Japanese brewmaster in Japan, Philip Harper. It is very expressive, packed full of umami and mushroom notes. It's full-bodied and gamey, and would be gangbusters with cheese.
