Expert Reviews

Wine Advocate 92 Points | The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs is blended of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, exuberant notes of fresh blackberries, boysenberry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles rocket from the glass, followed by hints of sautéed herbs, forest floor and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate is intense and energetic, featuring finely grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and lifted.

James Suckling 93 Points | Ripe blackberries, cassis, chocolate, mocha and sweet spices on the nose with some tobacco leaf. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Polished and well-balanced. Drink from 2023. 

Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Napa Valley 2024 — Carneros, Napa Valley

Cakebread Cellars is one of Napa Valley’s most storied estates, founded in 1973 with a single Chardonnay — and that first wine set the template for everything that followed.

For over 50 years, Cakebread has been refining its Napa Valley Chardonnay, sourcing exclusively from the Carneros appellation in southern Napa Valley.

Situated just north of San Pablo Bay, Carneros is defined by cool, windswept conditions, Haire Loam clay soils, and the kind of natural tension between fruit richness and acidity that produces benchmark California Chardonnay.

The 2024 vintage benefited from consecutive winters of abundant rainfall that refreshed soil profiles and supported vigorous vine growth, followed by Carneros’ hallmark warm days and cool nights through spring and summer — ideal conditions for steady ripening and acid retention. The result is a wine of exceptional balance and aromatic complexity.

The 2024 opens with aromas of yellow delicious apple, lemon curd, white peach, vanilla bean, jasmine, and crème brûlée. On the palate, layers of fresh citrus, poached pear, and melon unfold, accented by hints of vanilla biscotti. The finish is long and refined, carrying both creamy and mineral textures in perfect harmony. James Suckling praised it for its “nicely balanced” profile with “bright acidity and a zesty, vibrant finish.”

James Suckling — “Nicely balanced, with aromas of lemon confit, crushed stones, pastry, grapefruit and flint. Bright acidity and a zesty, vibrant finish.”

Cakebread Cellars · Sauvignon Blanc · North Coast · California · 2024

Cakebread Cellars planted Sauvignon Blanc as the very first white grape variety at their Napa Valley winery in 1972 — and it’s still thriving there today. More than five decades later, the North Coast Sauvignon Blanc remains one of California’s most reliable and food-friendly whites: sourced from North Coast vineyards and Napa Valley estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford, and Calistoga, fermented in a variety of vessels to build complexity, and crafted for the kind of zesty, citrus-driven freshness that makes it perfect for the aperitif hour and the dinner table alike.

The 2024 growing season delivered ideal conditions — winter and spring rains, moderate summer temperatures, and an extended pre-veraison period that allowed clusters to accumulate a wealth of aromatic compounds. The wine bursts with aromas of pink grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, kiwi, honeydew, guava, and lime zest. On the palate, bright citrus and green apple meet orange sherbet and lemongrass, with hints of tropical fruit and a refreshing acidity that carries through to a balanced, lingering finish of citrus, melon, pear, and tropical notes.

Expert Review — Vintage 2023

Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points | Seamless and supple with vanilla, dark cherry, and a twist of earthy forest. Sourced from several vineyards in San Benito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara. Long-lasting, fresh, and approachable with full-bodied weight and breadth supported by supple tannins and spiced oak.

Winemaker Notes

Beautifully lush and supple, this Pinot Noir draws you in with inviting aromas of raspberry, dark cherry, dried sage, and sweet tobacco leaf. Soft, supple tannins frame alluring layers of wild strawberry and Bing cherry, with hints of cracked black pepper and spice on a long, satisfying finish.

About Calera

Calera is one of California’s most storied Pinot Noir producers, founded by Josh Jensen in the 1970s after studying under Burgundy legends. Jensen was among the first to champion limestone soils in California for Pinot Noir — the estate’s name means "lime kiln" in Spanish. This Central Coast bottling blends fruit from across the region to deliver Calera’s signature elegance at an accessible price point.

Tasting & Pairings

Dark cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, dried sage, sweet tobacco, black pepper, and spiced oak. Full-bodied yet supple with soft tannins and a long finish.

• Roasted duck or quail — the dark fruit and sage notes are a natural match for game birds.
• Grilled salmon with herbs — California Pinot and Pacific salmon, always a winner.
• Mushroom risotto or truffle pasta — the earthy forest character complements umami-rich dishes.

Producer Description 

A high-end tequila made with 100% blue agave, aged for 36 months and finished in California red-wine barrels. A unique aroma of decadent vanilla, caramel and butterscotch, with hints of leather and honeycomb, and notes of toffee, spiced nuts and cinnamon to the palate. 

Memo Summary Notes

The Calvados Lelouvier Vintage 1988 is a rare, single-harvest apple brandy from one of Normandy's most respected "négociant-éleveur" houses. Lelouvier is famous for sourcing exceptional small-batch distillations from the Domfrontais and South Normandy regions and aging them to perfection in their own cellars.

Pairing: This is a classic "digestif." It pairs beautifully with aged Camembert or Pont-l'Évêque cheese, or a high-quality dark chocolate tart.

Producer Description 

An elegant bouquet featuring pear and baking spice, underpinned by nuances of honey, cedar, and lemon peel, alongside a subtle almond backdrop.

A lighter expression of Calvados, presenting a dry palate that gracefully marries the sweet notes of honey with the earthiness of cedar, the zesty character of lemon peel, and the nuttiness of almond.

The finish introduces a delicate interplay of lavender, nutmeg, and a hint of cayenne.

Producer Description 

Campari is a contemporary and charismatic classic that has remained unchanged throughout the years to the original formula. The creation of Campari was the result of the talent of Gaspare Campari, master drink maker and founder of the company. His experiments in concocting new beverages in Novara, in 1860, resulted in a recipe that still today remains a secret known only to the very few people in charge of the production process. 

Campari is an alcoholic spirit obtained from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. Many have tried to guess the number of ingredients: some say there are 20 or 60, but others list the ingredients at 80. To this day, alcohol and water are the only known ingredients of its special and secret recipe. Its vibrant red colour, intense aroma and distinctive bitter taste make it extremely versatile, and the perfect base for some of the most famous cocktails around the world. 

Campari Aperitivo — Milan, Italy 48 Proof

Campari is one of the world's most iconic spirits — the aperitif par excellence, born in Milan in 1860 from the experiments of Gaspare Campari and unchanged for over 150 years. The recipe is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the drinks world: a precise infusion of herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit in alcohol and water, with the exact number of ingredients debated by enthusiasts — some say 20, others 60, others still 80. What is certain is that no one has ever replicated it. Campari's unmistakable ruby-red color, bittersweet complexity, and aromatic intensity have made it the foundation of some of the world's greatest cocktails — the Negroni, the Campari Spritz, and the Americano among them. The 1.0L format is the professional's choice — built for the bar and the home bartender who takes their aperitivo seriously.

The nose is intensely aromatic: bitter orange peel, cherry, rhubarb, and a complex herbal bouquet of roots, spices, and botanicals. On the palate, it is boldly bittersweet — a wave of citrus peel and cherry up front, followed by layers of herbal complexity, a touch of vanilla, and a long, pleasantly bitter finish that lingers and invites the next sip. Unmistakable. Irreplaceable.

The World's Second Best-Selling Cocktail — Ready When You Are

Born in Florence in 1919, the Negroni is one of the most iconic cocktails ever conceived — a perfectly balanced trinity of Campari, red vermouth, and London Dry gin in equal measure. It began as a bold twist on the Americano, and within years it had conquered Italy and the world's finest bars.

Winemaker Description 

Limited Production - only 1,900 bottles produced.

Today we present the Vintage 2022 of Campeador Viura, the first white wine to be produced under the Campeador brand which, as you know, was created in 1916 to produce the first Rioja cavas. This is a limited edition in the style of the great historic white wines of Rioja. A wine that can be considered a wine for cellaring, so you can keep it in your private cellars for a few years or you can drink it immediately thanks to its harmony, intensity and subtlety.

It is a slightly disruptive Viura, but at heart it is a classic wine, like a vintage. It is always very floral and a little citric. The use of the skins was intended to provide a little bit of support, a little bit of nerve. You can see a halo of freshness that may indicate good ageing, but we will see if the wine itself achieves homogeneity”.

Campeador Viura 2022 comes from an old Viura vineyard. Harvested by hand, the grapes were destemmed, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. At this point, the winemaking process is bifurcated. One part is vatted and treated as clean must, while the other part is kept with its skins in the style of a traditional Rioja red wine.

Fermentation takes place in wooden vats and ageing in French oak vats. As you can see, we wanted to recover from the annals of Rioja winemaking a very old-fashioned way of making wine, starting the process with the skins and finishing it off with a moderate ageing in barrels.

On the nose it has more oxidative Viura sensations, as if it were from an older vintage.

It is the palate that reminds us that we are talking about a young wine because of its hints of citrus and stone fruit.

Campeador Rioja Reserva — Rioja, Spain 2020

Campeador is a name rooted in Spanish heritage — a tribute to El Cid, the legendary Castilian knight whose title "El Campeador" meant champion and master of military arts. The Rioja Reserva lives up to that name: a classically structured, age-worthy red built from an equal blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha, with Graciano adding depth and aromatic complexity. Aged to Reserva standards in oak and bottle, the 2020 vintage delivers the kind of rich, nuanced Rioja that rewards patience and pairs beautifully with the table.

The nose is warm and inviting: dark cherry, blackberry, dried plum, vanilla, and cedar, with earthy undertones of leather and dried herbs from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied with a supple structure, well-integrated tannins, and a long, spiced finish of red fruit, tobacco, and toasted oak. Tempranillo brings the backbone and dark fruit; Garnacha adds roundness and warmth; Graciano contributes freshness and aromatic lift. Together they create a Reserva of genuine character and depth.

"With an equal presence of Tempranillo and Garnacha, Campeador Reserva highlights the very best of both, creating a range of rich nuances that is bound to please." — Winemaker’s Notes

• Producer: Campeador, Rioja, Spain
• Vintage: 2020
• Appellation: Rioja DOCa, Reserva
• Region: Rioja, Spain
• Varietal: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano
• Aging: Reserva — minimum 3 years, including oak and bottle aging
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Dark cherry, blackberry, dried plum, vanilla, cedar, leather, dried herbs, tobacco, toasted oak
• Best Paired With: Roast lamb, grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, aged Manchego, mushroom risotto

A classically structured Rioja Reserva at an honest price — Campeador is the benchmark for what Tempranillo and Garnacha, aged to Reserva standards, can deliver from one of Spain’s greatest appellations.

Expert Review - Vintage 2019

James Suckling 92 Points | Currant, blueberry and violet aromas follow through to a medium body with firm, fine tannins that give the wine form and focus. Chocolate and hazelnut emerge in the undertones. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast 91 Points | This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot features alluring aromas evoking cassis, black-skinned berry and underbrush. The concentrated palate offers black plum, tobacco and mocha alongside polished tannins.

The beginning of this legacy is born from the red Earth of Jesus Maria, in the highlands of Jalisco, among abundant fields of blue agave and the vision on Don Ricardo Lopez, who thanks to his passion for work and dedication from many years, has made Casa Campo Azul a reference in the art of making tequila of the highest quality.

1940 is a very important year for us. It was the year of the birth of our founder, Don Ricardo Lopez, who decided to venture into the world of tequila, inheriting all of his father’s knowledge about the growing and caring of agave azul in his hometown Jesus Maria, Jalisco in the highland’s region.

The process begins when new plants (plant shoots) born from the mother plant are extracted and planted in a new field where they will grow and develop for 7-8 years before finally being harvested. The agave is cooked in an ancestral type of masonry oven for 30 hours in direct contact with steam and continues cooking for another 24 hours for clow cooking down and rest on the pina.

This slow cooking of the agave heads ensures a uniform cooking of the plant that gives the beverage more complex aromas and flavors.

From there the agave is milled and fermented for 78 hours until the fermentation reaches the desired richness, then double distilled in stainless steel stills.

The Reposado is aged in American white oak barrels in our cellar.

Expert Review

Forbes Magazine: This is an exceptionally smooth Cognac. Matured for four years. On the nose, it offers up rich floral aromas of violet, jasmine, roses, white flowers and peonies, along with intense fruity notes of sweet caramel apples, honey and both fresh and dried fruit, especially prune, peach and apricot, along with Sauterne like notes of golden raisin and fig, as well as some passion fruit and a touch of vanilla. There is also an earthy, black tea like quality in the background, and a hint of waxiness.

Recently, Camus, the largest of the family owned Cognac producers, released a new addition to its core range of Cognacs—labeled Intensely Aromatic. The Cognacs were the culmination of a two-decade long effort to craft Cognacs that are notably more aromatic and flavorful than the norm.

Camus’ Cognacs have always had a reputation for being particularly aromatic. To further enhance that character Camus developed a proprietary distillation protocol, which it calls “Intensity,” that measurably increases the concentration of terpenes and esters in their Cognac, producing what the company describes as an “instant of intensity.”

Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants. They are closely associated with floral aromas. Esters are chemicals produced by the interaction of alcohols and fatty acids, and are closely associated with fruity aromas.

In crafting Intensely Aromatic, the firm utilized older casks made from lightly toasted, fine grained oak. The age and toasting of the casks minimized the aroma and flavor components that were contributed by the cask wood and further enhanced the prominence of fruit and floral aromas.

Buyer's Description

"A good Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is arguably one of the most dependable wines to serve with mid-week meals. One such Montepulciano is the Frentana Rubesto Riseva 2020. Brightly flavored, elegant and well balanced, with mouth filling cherry fruit, spicy complexity and  lifted acidity that complements food so perfectly. Pizza and pasta are always what come to mind, but this is a wine that can also partner well with roasted chicken, salmon, tuna  and vegetarian menus. Turn your mid-week mediocre meals into something more special. A good bottle of wine can make the difference!""  Bart Hopkins

Winemaker Description

Very intense ruby red color, with aging it appears garnet; highlights smell remarkably complex, with aromas of black cherry, violet, vanilla and spicy notes. It goes perfectly with meat dishes of the Abruzzo’s cuisine, particularly the lamb, but also roast or braised veal and mature cheese.

Cantina Pra 'Otto' Soave Classico 2024 750ml

Cantine Colosi Grillo Sicilia — Sicily, Italy 2024

Grillo is one of Sicily's most fascinating indigenous white grapes — once prized as the backbone of the island's famous Marsala, it fell out of fashion as fortified wine declined, only to be rediscovered by a new generation of Sicilian producers who recognized its potential as a fresh, clean, expressive varietal wine. Cantine Colosi, based on the Aeolian Islands and the Sicilian mainland, is one of those producers: a family winery with deep roots in the island's winemaking tradition, committed to showcasing Sicily's native varieties with honesty and craft. Their Grillo is certified vegan and made to express the grape's natural freshness and aromatic character without intervention.

The 2024 pours a pale straw yellow. The nose is intense and inviting — fresh floral aromas, golden apple, stone fruit, tropical hints, and a savory herbal note that speaks to the Sicilian terroir. On the palate, it's bright and lively with orange zest, grapefruit, white peach, and a clean, sapid, refreshing finish of genuine length. Wonderfully balanced and endlessly food-friendly.

Cantine Florio Dry Fine Marsala Superiore — Sicily, Italy (375ml)

Cantine Florio is the most storied name in Marsala — founded in 1833 in the port city of Marsala on Sicily's western coast, and the producer that helped define the category for the world. Their Dry Fine Marsala Superiore Secco is the house's everyday expression: a versatile, beautifully balanced fortified wine made from indigenous Sicilian grapes, amber in color, and crafted to be equally at home as an elegant aperitif or as the essential cooking wine for classic Italian preparations. At 375ml, it is the perfect half-bottle for the kitchen and the table alike.

It is the Marsala of choice for chicken Marsala, veal scaloppine, fish preparations, and poultry dishes, and an elegant aperitif alongside aged cheeses.
