Sampling Selection #1:
2021 I Clivi Brazan Bianco
$29.99 on sale
This white blend from northeastern Italy had our entire wine team floored!
A unique blend of Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Giallo and a touch of Malvasia creates a luxurious wine that is perfect for the dinner table.
Medium-bodied with excellent citrusy acidity in the finish, a truly stunning white that everyone will love!
92+ Points Eric Guido, Vinous Media:
"Youthfully coy, the 2021 Bianco Brazan wafts up with young peach, sweet spice and crushed stone aromas. This is round and supple with medium-weight textures and mineral-tinged orchard fruits flowing across a saline-tinged acidity stream. It finishes grippy and long, quite structured and backward, leaving a saturation of tart citrus to linger on. The 2021 is a powerful rendition of Brazan that will require cellaring to show its best. This is a blend of 50% Ribolla Gialla, 40% Tocai Giallo and 10% Malvasia Istriana."

Sampling Selection #2:
2019 Otronia Pinot Noir Block 1
$49.99 on sale
Bodega Otronia is located in the heart of Patagonia at the 45'33 parallel, the last southern frontier to grow vines and officially the southernmost vineyard in the world!
This cool climate region is perfect for Burgundian varietals and this Pinot Noir is a stunner!
Winemaker Juan Pablo Murgia is a true rockstar in the wine world. In 2021 he was named "Young Winemaker of the Year" by Master of Wine Tim Atkin and then in 2022, he was named "Winemaker of the Year" by the prestigious Descorchados publication.
The wines are truly spectacular and we can't wait for everyone to try this!
95 Points Descorchados:
"Block I was planted in 2010 on lacustrine (lake bottom) soils rich in clay, always with a 30–50-centimeter layer of sand, which winemaker Juan Pablo Murgia believes is the most expressive of the property. And it is. Here the fruity sensation begins on the nose, with delicious aromas of red fruits and continues on the palate with a nervy texture full of fiber accompanied by vibrating acidity. A wine full of light and energy and an excellent display of potential. Following the logic of Burgundy, if chardonnay grows well on the shores of Lake Musters, pinot obviously will too. A thousand 12-bottle cases were made of this wine."
93 Points Decanter:
"Otronia is a vineyard in Chubut, in the far south of Patagonia, where the cool climate is ideal for varieties with a short ripening cycle such as Pinot Noir. Made by Juan Pablo Murgia and Alberto Antonini, Block I comes from the most calcareous section resulting in an expressive nose of cherry, raspberry, liquorice, damp earth, graphite and a hint of clove. In the mouth it’s tense with a good tannic structure and a refined but intense character."

Sampling Selection #3:
2019 Gard The Don Cabernet Sauvignon
$19.99 on sale
Gard Vintners was founded in 2006 by Josh and Lisa Lawrence. Located in the Columbia Valley they pride themselves on being one of the few Washington state wineries that uses 100% estate fruit!
"The Don" is everything we look for in Cabernet Sauvignon. Loads of black fruit up front with a lush and dense mouth feel. Everyone who loves big, rich Napa Cabernet will absolutely fall in love with this.
With double 92-point scores from the toughest of critics, this is one to stock up on for any occasion!
92 Points Eric Guido, Vinous Media:
"The 2019 The Don bursts from the glass with a heady mix of blackberry preserves, rubbed sage and sweet smoke. It washes across the palate, creamy and dense, with masses of dark fruit and smoky mineral tones, as grippy tannins slowly saturate with each sip. Structured yet lively and incredibly long, the 2019 leaves nuances of bitter cocoa and salted licorice to gradually taper off. This Cabernet heavy Bordeaux blend is a showboat, but it's also beautifully balanced."
92+ Points Wine Spectator:
"Polished, with handsome black cherry, tobacco and spice flavors that gather tension and structure toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2029."
-------
Sampling Selection #4:
2019 Colle Bereto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
$49.99 on sale
Since 2010, all of the fruit for this Gran Selezione comes from a vineyard Colle Bereto calls the "convent vineyard", located just below the Convent di Santa Maria in the famous wine-growing town of Radda.
This is the epitome of high-quality Chianti! Loads of bright cherry and red fruit flavors with a rustic hint of leather and flowers, this is drinking phenomenally right now but will also last for decades in the cellar!
95 points from Wine Spectator with a suggested price of $85! Need we say more?
95 Points Wine Spectator:
"This bright, fruity version is intricate and supple in texture, boasting cherry, raspberry, plum, mineral and eucalyptus flavors. Vibrant and well-delineated, with terrific precision and balance as this builds to a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2043."

Wine Talk Wednesday is back!
If you have never attended Wine Talk Wednesday in the past, you've been missing out.
To give you a brief breakdown of what WTW is, it's an in-store wine sampling and seminar held at our physical store in Springfield, NJ.
While sampling wine is by far the best part, we also provide a fun educational side to the wine sampling that helps our customers understand the history, winemaking and the style of the particular wine in front of them.
You may say to yourself, "WOW this is amazing", but what's even better is that it's ALL FREE.
We kindly ask you to RSVP so we can gauge how many people we will be hosting!
