Knab Spatburgunder
$33.99
Anyone wondering what is meant by "Baden classic" should try the wines of the Rinker family. Or even list them, because there are hardly any better addresses for (upmarket) gastronomy. The traditional appearance with rather weighty, naturally corked bottles inspires confidence even in skeptics. During the tasting, we were impressed by every single wine. All of them are completely dry, wonderfully balanced between freshness and substance, the different possible uses are determined solely by the grape variety and the type of wood used.
Benjamin Leroux Volnay 1er Cru
$304.99
One of the wonderful aspects of Domaine du Comte Armand is the family’s habit since 1985 of placing their trust in surprisingly youthful talent. Their instincts have been remarkable. Between Pascal Marchand and Paul Zinetti was Benjamin Leroux, who was handed the reins of the domaine in 1999, at the age of 24. Ben stayed at Comte Armand for fifteen vintages and started his side project in 2007. Though there are no family vineyards, he now vinifies approximately 30 hectares, 8 of which are domaine holdings that are farmed organically and biodynamically. His range of appellations is astounding. It spans the Côte from Chassagne-Montrachet to Gevrey-Chambertin and includes all levels in Burgundy’s hierarchy. Particular favourites of ours are his collection of premier crus, not only because many of them are the most prized, but sometimes precisely because of the opposite.
Dal Forno Valpolicella
$223.99
Only Quintarelli can rival Dal Forno, and the two wineries are in a class of their own, not only in the Veneto but all of Italy. The Dal Forno family has been making wine since 1983. Located in Val D’Illasi, the estate consists of 65 acres of vines planted to traditional indigenous varieties of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. The estate vineyards and farm are located where the slopes begin to rise toward the mountains and sit 1,000 feet above sea level. The loose, alluvial soils, meticulous pruning and scrupulous viticultural techniques ensure remarkable-quality grapes. The Dal Fornos use traditional methods to grow the finest fruit, and then employ modern techniques to produce the best wines — classic in expression and modern in purity. Dal Forno Romano is well-known for a number of superior wines that range from the region’s famous Valpolicella and Amarone to unique bottlings such as Vigne Seré, a passito dessert-style wine.
