Elena Walch is a leading estate in Alto Adige Italy.
An architect by trade, Elena Walch married into one of the oldest and most significant wine families of the region and brought new, modern concepts to the traditional establishment. The philosophy of the estate is dedicated to its terroir – the idea that wines must be the individual expression of their soil, climate and cultivation in the vineyard – and that this must be maintained according to principles of sustainability and passed on to the next generation. The firm belief that the quality of wine is created in the vineyard requires uncompromising work, taking into account the individuality of each vineyard. With 90 hectares in cultivation, including the two top vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro und VIGNA Kastelaz in Tramin, Elena Walch belongs to the most important protagonists of Alto Adige winemaking.

This was my first time trying their Gewurztraminer, which is a 2022.
The nose displayed peaches, spices, honeysuckle, flowers & musk. Quite perfumy & rich.
The palate was quite rich with spices, honeysuckle, plenty of minerality & tropical fruits in a bigger body with medium acidity & a longer finish. This had layers of flavor & complexity & got even better with air. This was a truly exceptional wine, even though it is quite young. This is definitely worth seeking out & is available in our store for $59.99

A week & a half ago, I brought a 2008 & 2017 Clos Ste. Hune to the wine group I'm in as the theme was Alsace. Clos Ste. Hune is a vineyard owned for 200 years by the Trimbach family. It is a small vineyard
at just over 1.67 ha in the heart of Grand Cru Rosacker, in Hunawihr, yielding about 9000 bottles. It is considered to be the benchmark for all dry Riesling produced in the world. The wine has the ability to age for decades, & has acidity & bergamont lemon for days. After a few years in the bottle, wonderful minerals emerge. It's an extremely complex wine with a finish that goes on forever.

Here are some brief notes. The 08 was opened first & unfortunately had a subtle touch of tca. Not enough to kill the wine, but just enough to dumb down the complexity. Sad as the one I had in 2020 was young, yet spectacular. Also, my last bottle.

The 2017 had notes of petrol, lemon, white peach, high minerality & ripe acidity with a touch of cream in a long finish. This was a bit tight & quite young, but extremely delicious. This will be thrilling with some bottle age.

New Arrival!
Mousse hommage a Cuisles

The Mousse family has been growing grapes since 1750 and producing champagne since 1923. This is a love letter to Cuisles, celebrating the Moussé family's Champagne making centennial in the Vallee de la Marne. 100% Pinot Meunier and 24 months on the lees.
I haven't tasted this yet, but I like this house quite a bit, so it's a no brainer in my opinion.

I just love drinking good Bordeaux in vintages that are so so. This is where the great producers truly shine. So I popped a 2007 Chateau Palmer. And boy, did this wine shine. It was paired with a Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon over silky mashed potatoes & smothered in a blue cheese sauce with a side of asparagus. Here are a few notes on the wine. Black & red fruits, hints of sous bois, some spice, oak, cigar to***co & a touch of smoke in a full body with velvety tannins & medium acidity. This is a very complex wine that is in the sweet spot as the fruit is still fresh, with some secondary characteristics coming through on the palate. This was a complete joy to drink & was the perfect wine for the food. If you're interested in purchasing a few of these, there are still some left in our private cellar.

Guess what, folks. We upgraded our coffee machine to state of the art equipment while still keeping our insanely delicious coffee & cappuccino at .99 cents. What a great value. Do you know what else is a great value? This 2019 Pontet Canet. Pontet Canet is a 5th growth Bordeaux who routinely makes wine as though they're a 1st growth Bordeaux while keeping the prices very reasonable. So, like our delicious coffee, this wine offers a ton of value. To be frank, this is probably the best deal in Bordeaux year in & year out. If you want to know more about this killer estate, check out the link below. And stop in to try our delicious coffee & cappuccino.
If you're curious about the price, it is $124.99

My wife & I had the pleasure of getting to hang out with some new friends at their very cool modern design inspired house on the water. We drank lots of Beaucastel & a lovely, but young bottle of Sir Winston Churchill 2008. The company was fantastic & the food was stellar.

Cellar Selection, & New Arrival!

Andrew Will 2019 Sorella Champoux Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills, Washington.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot
Champoux (pronounced “shampoo”) Vineyard is set back five miles from the Columbia River in the Horse Heaven Hills.
The 175-acre vineyard was first planted in 1972, & Block 1, the oldest section, provides the Cabernet Sauvignon for Andrew Will’s Sorella. Paul Champoux, for whom the vineyard is named, retired in 2014 as an owner and vineyard manager. Dan Nickolaus replaces him as vineyard manager.The vineyard is owned and run by a consortium of partners, which includes Andrew Will. Other partners include Quilceda Creek, Woodward Canyon, and Powers.
The soil is sandy loamy (Warden-Schano-Esquatzel).
Tannins are noteworthy in the wines from this vineyard.
The area is differentiated from other parts of Washington by the wind from the Columbia River Gorge, which never seems to stop.

I am a big fan of this winery, but I haven't tried the Sorella before. Their wines are very ageworthy & only get better, in my opinion, so I'm really excited to crack one & put a few away in the cellar for a rainy day. This scored very well across the board from critics, with the lowest score being 95 & the highest at 99.

You probably wouldn't expect to find antifreeze & magnums of Barolo in the same store. But in the words of the great John Dalton. "Never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. And that's exactly what we do here. We bring the unexpected to levels not seen since Spinal Tap took their amps to 11. We rock, & we rock it hard. 😂😂

Anyways, Paolo Scavino has been making wine since about 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, & are currently on the 4th generation run by daughters Enrica & Elisa. Their work is inspired by the love and respect they have for their territory, & they pursue purity of expression, complexity, & elegance for their wines from the three local grapes Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo.

These values and culture have been carried on and never changed.
This is their entry level Barolo & it comes from the 7 best plots of cru vineyards. It's aged for 10 months in neutral French oak & 12 months in large casks, then 1 year of stainless steel & 10 months of bottle age before being released. This is a great winery & a must-have in your cellar.
