Michael Ros

Picpoul Blanc

This Picpoul Blanc shows good weight and depth of fruit character, with honeydew melon and candied lime aromas. Medium-bodied and plush, it offers a satiny texture that makes it all too easy to enjoy. Bright enough for a hot summer day yet layered with warming spice notes that lend it appeal for sipping during the colder months.

Sangiovese Rose

Sourced from the Michael Ros Vineyard in the Texas High Plains, the Michael Ros Winery Sangiovese Rosé is a beautifully lean and focused pink.

Michael Ros Viineyards, Dolcetto

Fermented in stainless steel and aged for a year and a half in 100% neutral French oak barrels, this Dolcetto shows real tannic tension framing its crunchy red fruit core. Warm baking spices, a touch of toasty barrel char, and subtle charcuterie notes add savory depth to the firm, focused finish. It’s a lively and structured expression that highlights both fruit purity and textural grip.

Michael Ros Vineyards, Grenache

Sourced entirely from their Michael Ros Vineyards in the Texas High Plains, this wine was aged for 19 months in 12% new Russian oak. Winemaker Tim Drake says he loves Russian oak, which he began using in 2005 while in Washington State. The trees used are over 300 years old, and the grain is so tight you need a magnifying glass to see it—meaning minimal oxygen penetration during aging, yet the wood imparts a touch of baking spice complexity. The wine itself shows a rich, soft fruit profile with ripe red fruit, cherry, and cranberry alongside espresso bean, sage, and green tobacco notes that layer beautifully across the mid-palate. The finish is lengthy, carried by sweet spice and plush tannins in this elegant medium-bodied expression.

Milea Estate Vineyard

Estate Vineyard Unoaked Chardonnay

Fermented in stainless steel with lees stirred every three months over a seven-month period before bottling. The wine offers lemon-lime brightness, white flowers, and crunchy acidity, with layers of citrus, citrus oil, and subtle almond notes. It finishes with a steely, slate-like minerality.

Hudson Heritage Clinton Vineyard Seyval Blanc

This wine comes from the original planting at Clinton Vineyards (from vines planted in the early 1970s), under the stewardship of Barry and Sang Milea since 2022. Fermented in stainless steel, the aromatics are utterly captivating—think white miso and Parmesan rind taking an unexpected turn toward kumquat and pineapple. The palate follows with an intense umami richness, evoking shaved white truffle and salty sea spray. It’s fascinating, confounding, and impossible to stop revisiting, both aromatically and on the finish. A brilliant pairing for Asian cuisine—or pepperoni pizza with hot honey.

Millbrook Winery

Bedient Vineyard White

This 50/50 blend of Cayuga and Seyval Blanc was tank fermented, with a portion aged in neutral French oak for a year before being racked, filtered, and bottled. It lifts from the glass with honeysuckle and wild rose, followed by a squeeze of lime zest and tangerine. A refreshing saline-acid tension drives the finish. Best enjoyed on a hot, humid summer day—ideally with a picnic lunch.

Tocai Friulano

Sourced from the Lollipop Hill block—halfway up the hill on the right-hand side as you drive toward the winery—this wine comes from sandy loam soils and is crafted with an emphasis on texture and aromatic finesse. Foot-treaded to extract subtle stem and skin aromatics, then gently pressed and fermented in neutral barrels. Lees were stirred every two months before the wine was racked to stainless steel drums and aged for an additional 4–6 months before bottling. The result is an elegant, structured white with delicate aromatics of citrus, white flowers, and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, with lemon-bright acidity and grapefruit on the palate, finishing with a distinctive salted lemon peel note.

Chardonnay

From Calesa Vineyard, this fruit is night-picked, whole-cluster pressed, given a two-day settle, then treated with a small sulphur adjustment before native-yeast fermentation. Some lots undergo native malolactic fermentation. Bâtonnage begins with more frequent stirring and tapers as the wine ages for 15 months in roughly 30% new French oak. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined.This is a very special Chardonnay from this site, made by Kirk Venge. It is super fragrant, with gorgeous citrus peel, impressive stony mineral tension, white flowers and beautifully integrated cedar spices, all carried by tremendous verve and tension.

Sparkling Diamond Pét-Nat

Tropically driven, this sparkling Diamond bursts with pineapple, nectarine, papaya, and mango, wrapped in a rich, creamy, frothy mousse that amplifies the ripe fruit. It finishes with a touch of wildflower honey and bright, bold acid tension that keeps it lifted and refreshing. Winemaker Phil Plummer recalls the legacy of Pleasant Valley Wine Company in Hammondsport, New York—the first bonded winery in the U.S.—which was built on hybrid sparkling wines. And here we are, full circle. This Diamond really is a diamond in the rough—but it’s not too rough out here. Think Neil Diamond singing Coming to America—there’s energy, there’s charm, and there’s joy in every sip.

Montezuma Winery

Voleur Catawba Vin Gris

The wine is called Voleur—French for “thief”—a nod to the idea of respectfully borrowing inspiration from other places and people. Winemaker Phil Plummer modeled this wine after a Bedell Cellars bottling, creating something equal parts science experiment and homage. To build their native yeast culture, the team takes 10 gallons of juice on a “field trip” through the Finger Lakes—gathering wildflowers, fruit, even rocks from local beaches. All of it goes into the bucket, cultivating a wild ferment starter that functions like a sourdough culture, continuously fed and maintained for use in future fermentations. It spends one night on skins before fermenting with the wild culture, then ages 4–5 months in concrete amphora. Super floral on the nose with notes of honey, gardenia, and purple lilac, it carries a medium-bodied palate with grippy apple skin tannins, grapefruit acidity, and a long, captivating finish.

Voleur The Reisch Stuff

A co-ferment of 40% Traminette, 29% Valvin Muscat, 26% Noiret, and 5% Aromella—all hybrid varieties developed by Bruce Reisch at Cornell—this is a uniquely expressive red wine. It opens with wild aromatics of dill, orange peel, and grapefruit zest, leading into tart cranberry fruit and pithy citrus. Grippy apple skin tannins add texture and structure, framing a long, floral-driven finish.

Murrieta's Well

Mel Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

The 2023 Murrieta’s Well 100% Sauvignon Blanc was aged sur lie for four months in 10% new and 90% neutral French oak barrels. Refined and balanced, it shows expressive chalky minerality and a rich mid-palate density that remains light on its feet, thanks to scintillating acid tension. Crisp and focused, with orchard fruit shining through on the lengthy finish, sipping this is ike biting into a crunchy, crisp Granny Smith apple or early-season pear. Quite the ideal companion on a hot summer day.

Nid Tissé

Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay

This was my personal favourite of the Nid Tissé wines from 2023 that I sampled. I love the Russian River Valley richness it exudes — richness balanced by real tension. Beautifully pure and attractive lemon notes appear in all forms: lemon peel, meringue and lemon tart. A subtle kiss of toasty cedarwood mingles with all that bright citrus, interwoven with ripe orchard fruit on the palate. A long, chalky mineral finish brings everything into focus. Sourced from the famous Bacigalupi Vineyard — a site of red clay and rocky loam gravels — this Wente field selection comes from the Judgement of Paris Block. It is native-fermented with full malo and aged for 12 months in 14% new French oak, 20% clay egg, and a further three months in stainless steel before bottling.

Nid Tissé

Bentrock Vineyard Chardonnay

The Nid Tissé Chardonnay from Bentrock Vineyard — an iconic site in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA of Santa Barbara — sits on north-facing slopes of Santa Lucia shaley clay loam and Tierra sandy loam at 152 metres. Those soils, combined with its proximity to the ocean — about nine miles as the crow flies — bring an epic salinity to the wine, which is native-fermented with full malo and no filtration, and aged 17 months in large neutral French oak on fine lees. A mere 62 cases were produced. Lemony-bright on the nose, fragrant with sea-spray salinity and chalky mineral notes, it is silky on the palate, revealing tangerine and apricot, while lime-bright acidity frames a white wine of graceful, tension-filled poise.

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay

From Hyde Vineyard, a famous Carneros site with Haire clay–loam soils, this is a field blend of 33-year-old Robert Young Clone and 30-year-old Wente Selection. It is native-fermented with full malo and aged for 12 months in 16% new French oak, 14% clay amphora, and a further three months in stainless steel before bottling. It is highly aromatic — stone fruit and tropical fruit melding together — with notes of apricot, banana and pineapple on a creamy palate. A fairly soft, generous and mellow rendition of this site, it makes for exceptionally easy drinking.

Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir

From Radian Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills of Santa Barbara, the site is perched at 152 metres on dramatically steep slopes of clay loam with large deposits of diatomaceous earth, which drains exceptionally well — so well that the vines truly struggle, resulting in a fantastically concentrated yet immediately fresh wine. Native-fermented with 18% whole cluster, it was aged 10 months in 12% Burgundian French oak, and is a blend of Clones 115 and 777. There is plenty of wet-rock minerality alongside dark cherry and raspberry fruit, with clove spice and blood-orange notes. Pretty rose-petal tones and supple tannins frame a juicy, dark-fruited wine layered with more wet slate and mild Indian spices on the lasting finish. The wine is incredibly fresh and invigorating, with both tension and generosity.

Cabernet Franc

This medium-bodied Cabernet Franc is a juicy, red-fruited wine driven by saline-laced acidity and supported by intense, grippy apple-skin tannins. There’s a dark muscularity here—deep tones layered with cured meat richness and a savory black olive edge, alongside dried rose petals and wild herbs. Sourced from Sawmill Creek Vineyard, a hillside site on the east side of Seneca Lake with slopes as steep as 20% and elevations ranging from 490 to 820 feet above sea level, and planted in the 1990s to Clone 214 (a Loire Valley selection). Just 250 cases were produced.

Hybrid White Blend

This Tocai Friulano was destemmed and macerated for five days, then pressed at the onset of fermentation and blended with Traminette juice for co-fermentation in stainless steel. A splash of Cayuga White was also added to brighten the acidity. There’s a wild, untamed quality to this crisp and expressive white wine, with strawgrass and grapefruit zest leaping from the glass. Zingy acidity fuels the palate, where notes of pickled fennel, candied melon, and a chilled chamomile tea character linger on the long, savoury finish. Pep in its step and plenty of personality, with just 187 cases produced.

This Is White Pet Nat

From the Wagner Farms Cayuga White block on the east side of Seneca Lake, planted in 1978, this wine comes from a flat site with Lansing gravelly silt loam soils—formed from calcareous glacial till derived from sandstone, limestone, and shale. Cayuga White, a French-American hybrid developed by Cornell University in the 1940s, is grown almost exclusively in the Finger Lakes and here is planted on its own roots and trained to a high-wire cordon system. No sulfites were added at bottling. Bottles were disgorged in winter 2024, with just 450 cases produced. Fragrant pear and white peach aromas mingle with almond and white flower notes, blooming on the palate into tropical tones of pineapple and coconut cream. There’s something oddly evocative here—like a dry, acid-driven Pina Colada conjured by a bartender at Death & Co, served poolside at a Hawaiian resort. Why it takes you there, you won’t be able to explain. But it will—and that’s part of its charm.

Panther Ridge

Pinot Noir

Panther Ridge’s 100% Pinot Noir is made from Certified Organic grapes (115 and Calera clones) farmed biodynamically, fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak before being bottled unfiltered. It’s a highly drinkable yet finely structured Pinot Noir, brimming with cherry fruit, elegant cedarwood, and brown baking spices. Firm tannins have the kind of grip you get after biting into a crunchy red apple, leading to a finish layered with smoky clove and earthy minerality. Promise me that when you pour this wine for friends and family, you’ll quote the movie Anchorman: “It’s made from real bits of panther, so you know it’s good.” Panther Ridge Vineyard sits on a seven-acre ridge on the western slope of Sonoma Mountain in the Petaluma Gap. Most of their fruit is sold to boutique wineries, with a small quantity of wine made under their own Panther Ridge label in collaboration with winemaker Adrian Manspeaker (of Joseph Jewell Wines).

Reserve Pinot Noir

This 100% Pinot Noir is made from Certified Organic grapes (Calera clone) farmed biodynamically, fermented with natural yeasts, and aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak before being bottled unfiltered. In the same pocket as the non-reserve Pinot Noir, this Reserve bottling is bolder, with darker cherry and blackberry fruit and more pronounced, grippy tannins that lend a chewy texture. Smoky clove and zesty mineral notes add nuance, but this is no Pinot for the faint of heart—it’s muscular, brawny, and unapologetically bold.

Packs a punch of butterscotch and toffee, crème brûlée, and candied peach rings, with a palate-coating, toasty richness that carries through the long, oak-kissed finish. This is no shy Chardonnay—bold, creamy, and unapologetically hedonistic—yet beneath all the luxurious oak, the ripe orchard and tropical-leaning Sangiacomo fruit still shines through. It’s not a wine for the Chardonnay faint of heart or for anyone seeking Chablis; this is Chassagne-Montrachet on steroids. The 2022 Sangiacomo Chardonnay is sourced from grapes grown at the Kiser Vineyard off Arnold Drive in the cool, windy Sonoma Carneros AVA, just north of San Pablo Bay.

This is a heartier Zinfandel with high-toned acidity that edges toward volatility but remains intriguing, layered with bay laurel and sage. Full-bodied and creamy yet marked by crisp, tart acidity, it’s a wine worth exploring on its own—and even better when used to add lift and complexity to hearty stews or red wine sauces.
