Selbach Alte Reben Riesling
$54.99
The ambitiousness of Johannes Selbach has made this estate the region’s most prominent rising star. Since 1989, always among the very best wines in this collection, and 2001 is no exception. Johannes describes his style: “You may have noticed our wines are a bit drier the last two vintages than they used to be,” said Johannes Selbach. “We know how to make reductive fruit-bombs that get high scores and stand out in big tastings,” he continued, “but the problem is everyone writes about those wines but nobody drinks them. We want to make wines for food, that people can use in their everyday lives.” The 2020 Alte Reben is juicy and bursting with stone fruits and citrus and a bottle tends to dissapear quickly.
Poplar Grove Cascadia Pinot Gris
$28.99
Canadian wine, with a caveat: This is made from Washington-grown fruit to compensate for the disastrous 2024 deep freeze. You're going to see more of this, for many, it was the only alternative to having virtually zero wine in 2024. The palate displays bright acidity with flavours of ripe nectarine, apricot, and citrus. A smooth and refreshing mouthfeel and long, delicate finish balance this classic style of Pinot Gris.

Paltrinieri Saint Agata Lambrusco
$31.99
Paltrinieri is located in the heart of the Sorbara DOC by the historic Cru of Cristo di Sorbara. Since 1998, the estate has been run by the fourth generation Alberto Paltrinieri and his wife, Barbara, though the estate was founded in 1926 by Alberto’s grandfather, Achille. Historically the winery, as was the tradition, produced Lambruschi which were blends of grapes. Since Alberto Paltrinieri took the reins of the estate they began, more and more, to focus on mono-varietal wines from the Lambrusco di Sorbara grape which was gaining more and more recognition for its elegance and complexity compared to the many other Lambrusco varieties. They produce eight different bottlings – all made from 100% Lambrusco di Sorbara save the Solco which is 100% Salamino. Salamino produces a more fruit-forward style of Lambrusco with a darker colour relative to Sorbara.
