Inama Vin Soave Classico DOC 2023
Inama
Inama has been one of the key estates in Soave's quality revolution, proving that Garganega on volcanic soil can produce wines of genuine complexity and ageability. This 2023 vintage is drinking beautifully now—precise, mineral-driven, and effortlessly refreshing. A reminder that great white wine doesn't need to cost a fortune or carry a famous appellation.
Nose
Clean and bright with white peach, apple, and a citrus-blossom lift. Beneath the fruit, a subtle almond quality and chalky minerality from the volcanic soils of the Classico zone.
Palate
Crisp acidity frames flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and honeydew melon. A gentle floral note and saline mineral thread run through the mid-palate, adding dimension. The texture is lean but not austere, with just enough weight to feel complete.
Finish
Clean and refreshing with lingering citrus, a mineral snap, and a faint bitter almond note that keeps you reaching for the next sip.

Dry Creek Chenin Blanc
Dry Creek Vineyard
Dry Creek Vineyard has championed Chenin Blanc in California for decades, and this bottling is a quiet testament to why the grape deserves more attention. It delivers warmth and generosity without excess—an approachable, food-friendly white that offers far more complexity than its modest price suggests. A wine that communicates comfort before you even find the words.
Chablis, Louis Michel
Louis Michel & Fils
Louis Michel & Fils is one of Chablis' great purists, eschewing oak entirely in favor of stainless steel to let the limestone terroir shine with absolute transparency. This is clarity through constraint made liquid—proof that restraint in winemaking yields the most eloquent expression of place. A benchmark village Chablis that punches well above its price.
Famille Hugel Gewürztraminer Alsace 2022
Famille Hugel
Hugel's estate-level Gewürztraminer is an ideal entry into the grape — aromatic and expressive without tipping into heaviness. The 2022 vintage shows purity of fruit and the benefit of Alsace's continental climate, where warm days and cool nights preserve acidity in a variety that can lose it. This is the bottle to pair with spiced cuisine or to enjoy on its own as an education in aromatics.
Domaine Bott-Geyl Riesling Grand Cru Mandelberg 2022
Domaine Bott-Geyl
Bott-Geyl's biodynamic approach to the Mandelberg vineyard yields a Riesling of remarkable purity. This is a wine that tastes like its origin — limestone, sun, and the careful hand of a grower who trusts the vine to speak for itself. Grand Cru Alsace at a price that remains approachable.
