Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose Champagne
Size750MLVintage1998SKU4609
This is the benchmark for all other vintage Roses. Gorgeous aromas of strawberry and citrus oil with an extra-fine mousse. The palate reveals a significant nod to the Pinot Noir in the blend with bright cherry and yeast as well as balancing acidity. While this is delicious now, the future is promising.Montevertine "Le Pergole Torte" Toscana Rosso
Size750MLVintage2010SKU18452
Today, the 2010 Le Pergole Torte is lifted, gracious and quite inward, all of which suggest it has closed down significantly over the last few years. Crushed rose petals, sweet red berries, mint and white pepper all lift from the glass. The purity and textural brilliance here are both striking, but readers will have to wait a few years before the 2010 fully opens up.Chateau L'Evangile Pomerol
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - POMEROL

FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size500MLVintage1997SKU4707
The stunning, virtually perfect, 1997 Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance is so captivatingly pure, focused, and intricate as to be all but impossible to adequately describe. On the palate fresh peaches, citrus fruits, honey, acacia blossoms, quinine, chalk, and lemony mangoes can be found. Additionally, this medium-to-full-bodied, penetrating, yet perfectly balanced wine has a finish that seemingly lingers forever, revealing even more waves of minerals and fruit. 99pts Wine Advocate (1997)!Poggio Di Sotto Brunello Di Montalcino

Roberto Voerzio Barolo La Serra
Size750MLVintage2000SKU859

FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2010SKU17256

FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size500MLVintage2003SKU8125

Billecart Salmon Brut Cuvee Nicolas Francois
Size1.5LVintage1998SKU7046
The freshness of the cuvee Nicolas Francois Billecart immediately apparent from its aromatic complexity - aromas of white flowers mixed with subtle notes of brioche. Wonderfully rich and elegant at the same time with lovely freshness on the palate. A classy blend of several Grand Cru vineyards.
Domaine Humbert Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8355
This is clearly the ripest wine with an exceptionally pretty nose of fresh red pinot fruit nuanced by notes of game, warm earth and underbrush that is also picked up on the supple, sweet and detailed flavors on the muscled and beautifully long finish. Recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - BurghoundCade Howell Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Size750MLVintage2015SKU26046
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is dark, inky and voluptuous. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, chocolate and cloves are all amped up in this unctuous, inky Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. There is more than enough fruit intensity to fill out the wine's ample, full-bodied frame. 96pts Vinous MediaMarie Courtin Champagne Efflorescence Extra Brut
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size1.5LVintage2016SKU29910
Bright and sculpted to the core, the 2013 exudes energy. Chalk, mint, jasmine and orchard fruit add complexity, but it is the wine's overall balance that is most impressive. The Efflorescence offers striking translucence and energy from start to finish. The non-dose style is especially successful here. 94pts Antonio Galloni
Roberto Voerzio "Rocche Dell' Annuaziata Barolo
Size750MLVintage2001SKU2902
Good medium red. Exotic aromas of redcurrant liqueur, flowers, minerals, brown spices and mint. Silky and suave on entry, then bright and fine-grained in the middle, with terrific energy. Velvety-smooth but not quite thick. The longest of these 2001s today, building inexorably, with the very fine tannins spreading out horizontally to saturate the palate. 95 Points Stephen Tanzer (2001)Chateau Figeac St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28357
Aromas of currants and sweet tobacco with some lead pencil. Medium to full body with very fine tannins and a long, linear finish. Very fine, silky tannins. Pretty is the word. Direct and precise. 95pts James Suckling
Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve NV
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size3LVintageNVSKU7036
The NV Brut Reserve is a pretty, introspective wine laced with bright, citrus fruit, flowers and minerals. Medium in body, the wine reveals plenty of length and focus, with a crisp, refreshing finish. It is a great introduction to the elegance of Billecart-Salmon.
Taylor's Vintage Port
Size750MLVintage1992SKU2030
In the mouth, the wine is out of this world, displaying layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits backed by well-integrated tannin and structure. It possesses awesome fruit, marvelous intensity, and lavish opulence, all brilliantly well-delineated by the wine's formidable structure. 100pts Wine Advocate (1992)Chateau Canon St. Emilion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2016SKU25863
Vivacious and integrated already, with plum, raspberry and cassis notes matched by a bright floral hint and a flash of rooibos tea. Refined minerality through the finish. Ample depth, but it is defined by its purity and drive. 98pts Wine Spectator
Chateau Cos d'Estournel
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT ESTEPHE
Size750MLVintage2003SKU3731
The prodigious, fantastic 2003 Cos d'Estournel is a candidate for wine of the vintage. A compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, and flowers with extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence. 98 pts RP Wine Advocate (2003)
Domaine Colin-Deleger Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Demoiselles
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - PULIGNY-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6237
This is more elegant and refined still with an expressive nose that runs more toward floral and white fruit aromas whereas the slightly bigger and richer flavors give up none of the detail or minerality of the En Remilly. This is a bit more forward than it usually is but it's most impressive all the same. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Jacques Prieur Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8277
A completely different aromatic profile is presented as here the nose is much more earth dominated with a mix of red, black and violet notes that sit atop rich, full and notably serious medium full flavors that offer excellent volume and here too a bit of wood surfaces on the youthfully austere finish. The mouth feel is quite firm yet the tannins are relatively fine. Excellent quality. Allen Meadows - BurghoundJ. PRIEUR CORTON BRESSANDES

Chateau Pavie Macquin
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2005SKU4974
A black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of charcoal, burning embers, crushed rocks, sweet, pure, blueberries and blackberries, chocolaty creme de cassis, and licorice. It possesses massive concentration, phenomenal levels of tannin, and good acidity. A modern day elixir that should prove to be monumental in 15-20 years. 98pts Wine Advocate (2008)
