Ryan Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2023

2023 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Old-school RRV swill that eschews the sweetness that crept into the area during the Williams-Selyem heyday/culty scores of the mid-80's to mid-90's. Big tea, earth, light mud, restrained cherry and plum. Structure. Fruit. Balance. No sizzle, all steak. Blind tasting this, you'd be hella pressed to call this as being from RRV. Tastes like it's got 8-10 years of age on it already as a new release. You could sock this away for an easy 15-spot if you're that disciplined, unorganized or behind on opening other stuff. One of the best new domestic pinots tasted in the last few years. P.S...tasted the 2023 MacIntyre (the one that gets all the scores/pub) right after this. It was nice. A new school nice at 9.3. I'll take this any day that ends in "y" instead. You can have my MacIntyre allocation. 3.25.26. — a month ago

Dumol Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

2023 vintage. Medium body with a huge package from Minerals Direct (sign here, please) landing on your palate doorstep and tastefully wrapped in fruits/florals. Grand Cru Chablis or Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne? You tell me. 3.25.26. — a month ago

Les Enfers Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne Chardonnay 2017

An upgrade from our trusted Ruinart Blanc de Blanc (no offense but sometimes you need to change things up).
Softer, more rounded (oak barrels) and sophisticated. Perfect with our caviar and blinis.
Delicious with our
