Dark red with delicately organ-colored edge the color, the nose reminiscent of ripe, dark stone fruit. In the mouth, notes of spices join in. The fellow drinker dreamed a club from the deer with cranberries.

Promesse is the second wine from Chteau Franc Maillet and represents wonderful value. This estate is located very close to the Pomerol plateau and bears all the hallmarks for which the region is celebrated for.

On the nose, it has notes of violets and a touch of truffle and black berries, whilst on the palate it is silky and velvety with a rich long voluptuous finish.

Pair with roast beef, lamb, mushrooms or truffles, for an elegant drinking experience

Producer Notes

Marietta Cellars has been crafting their Old Vine Red blend in Sonoma County since 1980, releasing it in numbered lots — each one a unique expression of the vintage. Lot 74 is a Zinfandel-based blend of old vine fruit, incorporating Syrah, Petite Sirah, Carignan, Grenache, and Barbera. It jumps out of the glass with lovely bright plum fruit — dark and focused with notes of briar patch and black tea. Medium-bodied with sweet spice, velvety tannins, and electric vibrancy. A wine that strikes a perfect balance between fruit-forward enjoyment and layered sophistication.

Francis Ford Coppola Winery is one of California's most iconic producers — a Sonoma institution whose Director’s Cut label represents the winemaker’s purest creative vision, free from compromise. Just as a director’s cut is an unfiltered expression of a filmmaker’s intent, the Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to reflect quintessential Sonoma character: bold, honest, and true to the land.

The nose is deep and inviting: blackberry, boysenberry, clove, black currant confiture, black raspberry, cardamom, dried orange peel, and notes of vanilla and green olive. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied with ripe dark fruit, dusty tannins, a velvety texture, and a long, warming finish. It is bold, expressive, and deeply satisfying — the kind of Sonoma Cabernet that punches well above its price.

Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy Sancerre Terre de Maimbray Rosé Organic — Loire Valley 2025

Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy are among the most respected names in Sancerre, farming their vines sustainably in the appellation’s most prized terroir. The Terre de Maimbray Rosé is sourced from 30- to 60-year-old Pinot Noir vines grown in Terres Blanches — the Kimmeridgian marl and pure chalk soils that define Sancerre’s mineral identity. Grapes are hand-harvested and direct-pressed (rosé de presse), then fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees over winter to add subtle textural roundness before bottling. The result is a rosé of exceptional clarity and energy.

The nose is vibrant and mineral-accented: fresh strawberry, tangerine, and quince with subtle herb and floral nuances. On the palate it is concentrated yet lithe, offering sappy red berry and citrus fruit flavors that deepen steadily on the back half, with the mineral note returning strong on a long, seamless finish. Serve well-chilled alongside fresh summer tomato salads, goat cheese tarts, green vegetables, or grilled salmon — or simply on its own as the finest rosé aperitif you can pour.

Tommasi Poggio al Tufo Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana 2022

93 Points James Suckling | 91 Points Wine Enthusiast | 90 Points Wine Spectator

Tommasi Poggio al Tufo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a rich, expressive and beautifully structured Tuscan red wine from the celebrated Maremma region of southern Tuscany. Produced by Tommasi Family Estates, this distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon combines the bold fruit character of the variety with the elegance, freshness and savory complexity of Tuscany's Mediterranean terroir.

The Poggio al Tufo estate represents an important chapter in the Tommasi family's winemaking history. Acquired in 1997, it was the family's first major expansion beyond their historic home in Valpolicella. Located in the picturesque Maremma countryside, the estate is known for its distinctive volcanic tuff soils, warm Mediterranean climate and excellent conditions for cultivating international grape varieties.

Crafted exclusively from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is produced from carefully selected grapes grown at the Albore estate near Scansano. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, followed by traditional red wine fermentation with approximately 12 days of skin maceration. The wine is then matured for 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks, developing complexity and structure while preserving its generous fruit character.

Deep ruby red in color, the 2022 vintage opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, dark cherries and plum preserves, complemented by black pepper, licorice, vanilla, cedar and aromatic Mediterranean herbs. Subtle notes of tobacco, violets and earthy minerals add depth and sophistication.

On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to full-bodied, rich and beautifully balanced. Layers of ripe black fruit, dark cherry and savory spice unfold across a supple texture, supported by firm yet polished tannins and refreshing acidity. Hints of roasted pepper, cedar, licorice and balsamic herbs contribute complexity, leading to a persistent, structured finish.

The warm 2022 growing season produced concentrated, flavorful fruit, while late-season cooling helped preserve the wine's freshness and balance. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers impressive depth and character while remaining approachable and versatile.

An excellent companion to hearty Italian cuisine, Tommasi Poggio al Tufo Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, braised beef, pappardelle with wild mushrooms, pasta with meat ragù, grilled sausages and moderately aged cheeses. Its combination of ripe fruit, savory complexity and polished structure makes it equally enjoyable for casual gatherings and special occasions.

An extraordinary single-harvest White Port from 1962, offering more than six decades of history in every glass. Maynard’s White Colheita Port 1962 is a rare expression of the Douro Valley, combining remarkable maturity with elegance, freshness and beautifully developed complexity.

Produced from traditional white grape varieties of Portugal’s Douro Valley, this historic Colheita has developed a magnificent golden-amber color and an intricate aromatic profile shaped by extended maturation in wood.

Region & Style

Country: Portugal
Region: Douro Valley
Appellation: Porto / Port
Wine Type: Fortified White Wine
Style: White Colheita Port / Single Harvest Port
Vintage: 1962
Bottle Size: 750ml
Alcohol: 20% ABV
Winemaker: Álvaro van Zeller

Grape Varieties

A traditional Douro white blend composed of:

• Códega do Larinho
• Rabigato
• Malvasia Fina
• Arinto

What Is White Colheita Port?

Colheita Port is produced from grapes harvested in a single year and matured for an extended period in wooden casks before bottling. Unlike Vintage Port, which develops primarily in bottle, Colheita evolves through long oxidative maturation in wood.

For White Colheita, this gradual aging transforms the youthful citrus and orchard-fruit character of the white grapes into a far more complex spectrum of dried fruit, nuts, caramelized flavors and warm spice while retaining the acidity necessary to keep the wine balanced and fresh.

Tasting Notes

The Maynard’s 1962 White Colheita displays a beautiful golden-amber color and an expressive, mature bouquet. Aromas of peach preserves and ripe stone fruit lead into layers of dried fruit, toasted nuts and subtle oxidative complexity.

On the palate, the wine is rich and beautifully composed, with concentrated fruit balanced by freshness and elegance. Its remarkable age has created a seamless texture and impressive aromatic depth, finishing long, complex and refined.

19 Points — Vinho Grandes Escolhas

Vinho Grandes Escolhas awarded the Maynard’s White Colheita Port 1962 an impressive 19 Points.

The wine is noted for its golden-amber color, superb character, concentrated peach-fruit aromas and particularly complex, elegant finish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly chilled at approximately 12–13°C / 54–55°F. A proper Port or white-wine glass allows the wine’s extraordinary aromatic complexity to fully unfold.

Because this is such a mature and complex wine, it is especially rewarding when enjoyed slowly on its own after dinner.

Food Pairing

Pair with desserts featuring almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts, as well as crème brûlée, custards, egg-based pastries and dried-fruit desserts.

Its combination of richness and mature complexity also makes it an excellent match for aged cheeses, including hard cheeses and blue cheese, or simply enjoy it by itself as a contemplative after-dinner Port.

About Maynard’s

Maynard’s is the flagship Port brand associated with Fernando and Álvaro van Zeller. The name pays tribute to Walter Maynard, a historic English wine merchant associated with some of the earliest shipments of Port wine from Portugal to England during the 17th century.

Today, Maynard’s continues this centuries-old Port tradition with a collection that includes Vintage Ports, aged Tawnies and exceptionally rare single-harvest Colheitas.

A remarkable piece of Douro history, the 1962 White Colheita is a rare opportunity to experience the extraordinary longevity and complexity of traditionally aged White Port.

The 2021 vintage opens with inviting aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, dried cranberry, sweet spice, and violet, accented by hints of cocoa, tobacco, and vanilla.

Fresh acidity keeps the wine balanced, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering notes of spice and dried fruit.

Food Pairing

Alexander Valley Vineyards is a family-owned estate with deep roots in one of California's most celebrated wine regions. The winery traces its lineage to 1840, when Cyrus Alexander arrived in the valley that now bears his name and declared it "the brightest and the best spot in the world." Today, the estate is guided by the Wetzel family, who have farmed these lands for generations with a commitment to sustainable viticulture and a singular focus on expressing the character of Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Alexander Valley AVA sits in northern Sonoma County, sheltered by the Mayacamas Mountains to the east and the coastal ranges to the west. The valley's warm days and cool nights create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing the grapes to develop full, ripe flavors while retaining the freshness and structure that define the appellation. With nearly 15,000 acres of winegrapes planted, Alexander Valley has earned its reputation as one of California's premier Cabernet destinations.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from estate-grown fruit, harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified with care to preserve the varietal's natural depth and elegance. The wine undergoes fermentation followed by aging in oak, building structure and complexity while maintaining the bright, fruit-forward character that Alexander Valley is known for.

The 2022 vintage opens with a fresh, mineral-driven nose of red currants, cassis, tea leaves, and red peppercorns. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, delivering lingering notes of cherries, pine, tomato leaf, and warm spice. Polished and precise, with excellent balance and a long, satisfying finish.

A hidden gem from Franken, one of Germany's most distinctive wine regions — the Hans Wirsching Silvaner Dino Terroir 2022 is a beautifully expressive, terroir-driven white that showcases everything that makes Franken Silvaner so compelling: understated elegance, mineral precision, and a refreshing, food-friendly character that overdelivers at every price point.

The Wirsching Estate

The Dino Terroir bottling is a signature expression of their philosophy — letting the land speak through the grape with minimal intervention.

Tasting Profile

Pale straw with a luminous clarity. The bouquet is subtly fruity and finely aromatic — fresh hay, crisp apple, and ripe melon with a gentle herbal lift. On the palate it's elegant and medium-bodied with bright, refreshing acidity, a clean mineral backbone, and a dry, precise finish. Classic Franken Silvaner: unshowy, honest, and deeply satisfying.

Why Silvaner?

Silvaner is Franken's signature grape — a variety that thrives where Riesling struggles, producing wines of quiet complexity and remarkable food versatility. Less aromatic than Riesling, it compensates with texture, minerality, and an earthy, terroir-expressive character that rewards attention.

Perfect Pairings

Serve well-chilled (46–50°F) with asparagus, freshwater fish, roasted chicken, mild cheeses, or classic German cuisine. The generous 1L format is ideal for the table — practical, shareable, and always welcome.

Winemaker Description 

100% estate, sustainably grown Cabernet Franc from our White Springs and 16 Falls Vineyards. Incredibly fresh and inviting with aromas of redcurrant, cranberries and mountain herbs.

The palate is pure and elegant, with notes of raspberries and hints of earth and spice. 

A perfect rendition of Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc, aged for a year in our 6-year-old, 2000 liter Austrian and Hungarian Oak casks.

Tommasi · Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC · 2023

Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2023 is an elegant, balanced Veneto red with vibrant cherry and plum fruit, a supple texture and refreshing acidity. This single-vineyard wine expresses the character of historic Valpolicella Classica through refined structure and freshness, continuing the Tommasi family’s winemaking tradition dating to 1902.

Named for the Rafael vineyard on Monte Masua, the first vineyard acquired by the Tommasi family, the wine holds a special place in the estate’s heritage. The vines are cultivated using the traditional Pergola Veronese training system, encouraging their characteristic elegance and aromatic complexity.

Winemaking

A traditional blend of 60% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 15% Molinara undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation with 12 days of maceration. Fifteen months in large Slavonian oak casks develop complexity while preserving the purity and freshness of the fruit.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby red in color, the 2023 vintage opens with ripe cherries, fresh plums and red berries, complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle herbs. The medium-bodied palate is supple and velvety, layering red cherry, dark fruit, licorice and gentle black pepper. Refreshing acidity, polished tannins and a savory, lightly spiced finish bring harmony and balance.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020 

Wine Advocate 91 Points | Lazzarito stands out as one of the strongest wines in this portfolio of new releases from Vietti. With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba the 2020 Barolo Lazzarito comes in at a very high threshold in terms of complexity offering dark cherry crème de cassis violet macaron dried herb and lavender. The wine's perfumes remind me of the south of France in summer. It shows elegant tannins streamlined intensity and good acidity. Production is 10626 bottles. (2020). 

Vinous 93 Points | The 2020 Barolo Lazzarito is a blend of fruit picked before and after the early October rains. It marries power and finesse to a notable degree. Dark red fruit menthol licorice crushed rocks and dried herbs open nicely in the glass. This is a bit light for a Serralunga Barolo although the tannic structure is there. This is missing a bit of personality. (2020).
