2021 Rieslingfreak Polish Hill No.2 Riesling...$25.99
The Polish Hill River Riesling comes from a single block in the Polish Hill sub-region of the Clare Valley. John Hughes thinks this vineyard produces the best fruit of all his vineyard sources.Has some generous fruit with strident mineral notes, as well as pure lime. There’s flesh and weight to the palate. Quite fleshy and concentrated with zesty acidity. So drinkable now and will age well. Screw cap.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
Bright, pale yellow colour, with a very attractive flowery bouquet: gardenia, dried flowers, perhaps boronia. The palate is intense and refined, crisp and linear, with lovely flowing harmony and length. Clean, soft but dry finish. A beautiful young riesling. Grapes from the Jaeschke family vineyard. Drink: 2021-2033
Rated 96/100 The Real Review


2020 Casas del Bosque Sauvignon Blanc Reserva...$13.99
Grapefruit and a hint of freshly cut strawberry character here. A little light after the mid-palate. Very easy and approachable. Drink now.
Rated 90/100 James Suckling


2020 Château Maison Neuve Sauvignon White Bordeaux...$15.99
100% Sauvignon Blanc from old vines
Great White Bordeaux!
This wine presents a pale yellow color that is very fresh on the nose with the classic Sauvignon characteristics of gooseberries. Dry and full bodied, its finish is long and mellow with just a hint of citrus. The wine is made with very low yields from 25 year old vines.


2019 Domaine de la Combe Muscadet Sevre et Maine...$18.99
Sur Lie

100% Melon de Bourgogne
The Vineyard is located in the "lieux dit » La Pétière in Saint-Fiacre distinguished by its particular topography named « Combe » which is a sort of valley. Today Pierre Henry Gadais is the only wine grower to own this terroir. For this reason, it is considered a Monopole. In addition, « La Pétière », located nearby, used to be a pre-historic village. With a total of 9 hectares, planted with Melon de Bourgogne, the vineyard is one of the last to exclusively produce Muscadet. Pierre Henry has always believed in the Melon but also in the traditions. For him, the new generation is changing the variety and by doing so, losing the appellation. Pierre Henry does not want Muscadet to become a new world wine region.


2020 Domaine Cédrick Bardin Pouilly-Fumé...$26.99
100% Sauvignon Blanc - Loire Valley
"Made from a blend of four terroirs, this Pouilly Fumé is the heart of our production." - winemaker
The intensity and richness of this wine are impressive. They promise good aging, with a texture that has a taut citrus-zest character as well as powerful white fruits. Green-fruit acidity gives both texture and freshness. Drink from 2022.
Rated 91/100 The Wine Enthusiast
Ripe tangerine and lemon mousse flavors are flanked with vivid undertones of flint, heather and grapefruit that are lengthened out on the long finish. Drink now. 5,833 cases made, only 450 cases imported
Rated 90/100 The Wine Spectator
