Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Gobelsburger 2022

Weingut Schloss Gobelsburg · Schloss Gobelsburg, Kamptal, Niederösterreich

$2212.5% ABV proofGobelsburg, Kamptal, Austria — a 12th-century Cistercian monastery estate that fell into neglect before winemaker Michael Moosbrugger took over in 1996 and transformed it into one of Austria's most respected estates.
Schloss Gobelsburg is an 800-year-old estate that was slowly fading when Michael Moosbrugger arrived in 1996. He didn't bulldoze the past — he studied the monastery's ancient records, revived forgotten vineyard practices, and transformed neglect into one of Austria's finest expressions of Grüner Veltliner.

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.
