It’s the week beginning June 2, 2025.

Cristaldi heads to NYC this weekend to schmooze with five lucky VIPs who are joining him for a swanky lunch at Danny Meyer’s Manhatta Restaurant, 60 floors in the air, with insane views of the cityscape. From Champagne to Napa Cab, it’s going to be a blast. The following day, Cristaldi heads to Red Hook Winery in Brooklyn to taste his way through New York State Wines. Gotta get into that New York State of Mind. 

Cristaldi’s latest reports are live:

Texas Wine Report – Part II (Auction and 60 New Wines)

Livermore Valley Report  – Part I (Nine Wineries, Over 160 Wines)

Over Memorial Day weekend, Cristaldi was in Santa Barbara tasting his way through Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah heaven. That report, along with news from Rogue Valley in Oregon, will be published next.
