Vietti Roero Arneis 2023
Vietti
Vietti's Roero Arneis showcases why this once-obscure Piedmontese grape has earned its own DOCG. The wine balances orchard fruit and mineral tension with real charm. It's serious enough to pair with food but refreshing enough to open on the porch.
Nose
White peach and green apple open cleanly, followed by honeysuckle, a subtle almond note, and a mineral chalkiness. There's a delicate floral lift that adds elegance.
Palate
Crisp and textured with citrus and green apple at the core. A gentle honeyed richness develops at mid-palate, balanced by bright acidity and a pleasant, slightly bitter almond finish that's characteristic of the Arneis grape.
Finish
Medium with lingering citrus, mineral freshness, and a whisper of marzipan.

Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec 2022
Domaine Huet
Huet's Le Mont vineyard sits on clay and silex over tuffeau limestone, and biodynamic farming since 1990 has only deepened the site's voice. The 2022 sec is a stunning expression of Chenin Blanc's ability to be simultaneously generous and razor-sharp. Age it or drink it now — both paths reward.
Domaine Albert Mann Pinot Gris Grand Cru Hengst 2021
Domaine Albert Mann
Albert Mann farms biodynamically across some of Alsace's greatest vineyard sites, and the Grand Cru Hengst is among their finest expressions. The 2021 vintage offered balance between ripeness and freshness, and this Pinot Gris captures that perfectly — opulent but structured, generous but never heavy. A serious Alsatian white that demands good food and focused attention.
Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex Pouilly-Fumé 2021
Domaine Didier Dagueneau
Didier Dagueneau was famously uncompromising, and his son Louis-Benjamin has maintained that intensity. Silex — named for the flint-rich soils the vines grow in — is Pouilly-Fumé distilled to its philosophical core. No new oak shout, no malolactic warmth, just Sauvignon Blanc channeling its terroir with surgical precision. This is the wine for anyone who thinks Loire whites are simple.
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes 2021
Château de Beaucastel
This is one of the greatest white wines of the Southern Rhône, made from old-vine Roussanne that produces wines of almost Burgundian weight and complexity. It ages spectacularly — a decade or more — but is generous even young. An education in what white Châteauneuf-du-Pape can achieve.
