A favorite California bubbly that I’ve recommended year after year. This sparkler has notes of yellow apples, toasty oak and a tasty spice finish. Robust and deep so it can handle more flavorful dishes. It's a bargain at the price for New Year's. Food Matches: veal, venison, roast meats, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, hard cheeses.

A growing favorite of mine, this Pinot has luscious ripe red cherry fruit and smoky, earthy notes underneath. Pure, balanced and ultra-seductive. A terrific value for what’s in the bottle. This one is the least pricey of the five Pinots this winery produces. Medium-bodied with an elegant, long finish. Food Matches: chicken, pork, paté, salmon with a citrus sauce, seared tuna, veal. Drink: 2008-2015. Score: Read more...

A blend of 55% Semillon, 25% Chardonnay and 20% Sauvignon Blanc yields notes of lemon, lime, orange peel and honeysuckle blossom. Terrific minerality and elegance. A long, clean finish. One of my favorite Australian producers for both reds and whites. Food Matches: mussels, shellfish, stuffed mushrooms, almond-based desserts, cheesecake. Score: Read more...
