Good Sancerre is such an important staple in any wine fridge and we love to drink it with so many kinds of food. But Mother Nature dictates how much good Sancerre there can be out there, and she’s been very parsimonious over the past few...
Wine Country: Austria
Wine Varietal: Riesling
Fans of FX Pichler know how good these wines are and why they’re so much in demand. Purely defined fruit, great depth of flavor; truly spectacular!

2022 Domaine Andre Neveu Sancerre 'La Manoir' Chavignol
Given all the other crises we are dealing with these days, the lack of Sancerre doesn’t rank very high. That is, unless you have a true hankering for what might be the world’s...
2020 Hubert Bouzereau-Grueres Bourgogne Chardonnay
If you throw a rock into the village of Meursault, you’re likely to hit someone named Bouzereau and, as such, this last name has been synonymous with great Meursault for centuries. But all...
Sonoe has been working with the grapes from the Linda Vista Vineyard since 2018 vintage. Located on the eastern, cooler side of the Oak Knoll District, this vineyard has been organically farmed (CCOF Certified Organic) by Steve Matthiasson since...
2020 Edi Keber Collio Bianco
It’s a rare occasion indeed when I can send out an offer on Edi Keber’s totally unique Friulian white. There is very little made, and with the cult-like following this one-wine, two-man cantina...
When it comes to California Chardonnay, there are many who it do it well, but the list of those who do it exceptionally well is a lot shorter. These are winemakers who can translate California’s best sites into wines with...
100% Ribolla Gialla
While tourists still flock in incredible numbers to Venice, Verona and Milan in northern Italy, they still seem reluctant to explore much further east, even though those who do will discover one of the most unique, historic and...
Winery Notes: With the first in vintage 1974, it is a tradition for Friuli to make Pinot Grigio. And we have a good mixture between river valley vineyards and the hillside. The river valley grapes add freshness, and are a little more thin on the...
PRIMA Notes: Thierry is a fourth-generation winegrower in the Sancerre region, situated near the village of Bué, one of the finest districts for high quality Sauvignon Blanc (and Pinot Noir) thanks to the unique mix of soil types in the...

TASTING NOTES - Bright straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections. The bouquet is pleasingly fruity with impressions of white peach and grapefruit, together with white flowers and minerals, fresh herbs. On the palate it is full, juicy,...
Those of us in the wine business, well, those of us who truly love wine anyway, make no pretense towards absolute impartiality when it comes to judging our favorites. We form deep emotional attachments to some wines and they become more like old...
Prima Note :This is my pick for springtime drinking. Brokenwood is one of the few wineries in the world that actually specialize in making Semillon and produces three different versions of it. The ‘straight’ one sees no wood and...
We love these bone-dry Austrian Rieslings. Hiedler’s is penetrating, persistent and utterly delicious. Its laser-like acidity will do wonders alongside a right-from-the-fryer schnitzel but we love it with oysters, fresh, delicate fish...
Nowhere else, I think, does the unique soil of a region so inform the style of the wine as it does in the Soave Classico appellation. Located on a sweep of hills that roll eastward as far as the Venice lagoon, this area is not to be confused with...
The New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc category has become a tough one to navigate these days as the shelves that used to have two or three examples are now bursting with a dozen or more. What’s a consumer to do? And most of those newcomers...
My relationship with the Sauvignon Blanc grape is, as they say, complicated. I find the grape, sometimes too aggressive and overly rich in the pyrazine compounds that can evoke, in my tender psyche, unpleasant aromas of pungent...
PRIMA Notes: Farming sustainably, with a push toward organic viticulture in the offing, his Chardonnay vineyards, ranging in age from 5 years to 80, thrive in the clay and limestone soil of the Maconnais, extracting great minerality and structure...
There is definitely no shortage of good California Sauvignon Blanc out there but the crème, as it were, keeps rising to the top- the wines that have created strong constituencies and managed to hold them for decades. Our favorites...
