Josmeyer Pinot Blanc Mise du Printemps 2022
Josmeyer
Josmeyer's Mise du Printemps is meant to be the first wine of the vintage — the spring release — and it captures that sense of renewal perfectly. It's unshowy, refreshing, and quietly complex, the kind of bottle you reach for on a warm evening when you want something alive with energy.
Nose
Crisp green apple and white pear lead, followed by a delicate floral note — almost like meadow flowers — and a subtle minerality. A hint of almond emerges as the wine opens.
Palate
Light-to-medium bodied with bright acidity. The palate delivers apple and melon with a clean, slightly waxy texture. A gentle honeyed quality builds in the mid-palate, balanced by a green, herbal freshness and a chalky mineral finish.
Finish
Clean and precise, with lingering green apple and a faint marzipan note that adds just enough richness before the acidity reasserts itself.

Domaine des Huards Cour-Cheverny AOC Romo 2023
Domaine des Huards
Cour-Cheverny is the only AOC in France dedicated to the ancient Romorantin grape, and Domaine des Huards is its finest ambassador. This is a wine of place — the chalky soils and continental climate write themselves into every glass. If you've never tried Romorantin, this is where to start.
Domaine Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum 2022
Domaine Weinbach
The Faller family's Grand Cru Furstentum Riesling showcases one of Alsace's warmest and most powerful sites, yet the 2022 vintage maintains stunning freshness. This is Riesling at its most complete — aromatic, textured, mineral, and built for the table.
Pietradolce Etna Bianco DOC 2023
Pietradolce
Pietradolce's Carricante vines grow at 700 meters on Etna's north face, rooted in millennia of lava flow. Winemaker Michele Faro handles the fruit with restraint — stainless steel only, no malolactic — letting the grape and the volcano speak. The result is one of Italy's most compelling white wines at a price that borders on absurd for this level of quality.
Benanti Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina 2022
Benanti
Pietra Marina is arguably Sicily's greatest white wine, and the 2022 vintage continues the tradition. Carricante from Etna's highest vineyards delivers a rare combination of power and precision — it has the depth to age but the freshness to drink now. If you want to understand what volcanic soil tastes like in a glass, start here.
