Pinot Blanc, R. Sinskey, Carneros, 2013
$48.00
Dr. Robert Sinskey founded his winery in Napa Valley in 1988 with a vision to make balanced wines intended to pair well with cuisine. Sinskey reminisces that wine culture at the time felt more like a competitive sport where bigger is always better, and high scores from critics drove the American wine market. Pinot Blanc (or Pinot Bianco to our Italian bretheren), is a grape that is best appreciated for its subtleties, unlike its more broad-shouldered "competitor", oaked California Chardonnay. Sinskey proudly produces this limited label only releasing the Pinot Blanc in half bottles and magnums because, in his own words, "You should either start with it or party with it!"

Asprinio di Aversa, Masseria Campito, 2013
$77.00
Lost in a forgotten part of Campania named Aversa is Masseria Campito, a tiny family farm growing one grape to make one wine. Following the techniques of Champagne with a local grape named Aspirinio, the wine showcases the complexity sparkling wine can express when it comes from a farm, not a factory. With an unknown grape, region, and farm the wine is an awesome alternative to some of Italy's more popular sparklers.

Sant'Elena, "Mil Rosis", 2007
$67.00
Often lost in the shadow of Italy's world renown red wines, Italian white wines have struggled to share the stage among that of France, Germany or Austria. Often slighted for being overly lean and floral in their youth, Italian whites are rarely given the opportunity to mature in the bottle. This Friulian "field blend" of the historic Venezia Giulia zone, gains richness from barrel-fermented Chardonnay augmented by the zesty freshness of Riesling and Traminer. The result after 9 years resting in bottle reflects a more elegant texture laced with the exotic yet subtle charm of botrytis

$69.00
Of the fruit-driven wines of Lake County, some of the country's finest Sauvignon is crafted by Burgundy native Claude Koeberle. Lifted by the laurels of his late friend Didier Dagueneau, Koeberle stylizes his wine to pay homage to the intense and terroir-driven whites of the Loire Valley. Taking its passion one step further, the winery dispersed a tractor-trailer worth of broken oyster shells in its vineyards for a dose of extra maritime minerality

$72.00
In the Langhe hills, Nebbiolo rules supreme with its stunning Barolos and Barbarescos grown on the southern slopes of Alba. Across the valley in Asti, little known Barbera is planted to those treasured southern exposures, or Sori. Giorgio Rivetti, founder of La Spinetta is known as the pioneer of singlevineyard Barbera and one of the leading winemakers of the region. He has been perfecting this wine since its inaugural vintage in 1985 and it remains the estate's flagship wine to this day. Sustainably farmed in south-facing calcarious soils, the wine demonstrates the potential finesse of the region

Azelia (Luigi Scavino), 2013
$107.00
This historic winery run by the lauded Scavino family combines both power and elegance through maniacal attention to detail in the vineyards. The vines used for this wine are an average age of 40 years and produce very low yields -- which suits the mission well, as in the economy of viticulture, less is more! Greater concentration, ripeness, and aromatic complexity create the ideal experience in the glass, or if you prefer, a party in the mouth

In the eastern slopes of Barbaresco sits the small commune of Neive, home of Cantina del Glicine, one of the region's most historic cellars dating back to 1582. Glicine is a true botique winery, started in 1980 by Adriana Marzi and Roberto Bruno, where the focus is on low yields and small vineyard sites. The resulting wines are powerfully structured and concentrated with an emphasis on elegant textures and expressive aromatics

Barbaresco, Gaja, 2010 (375ml)
$289.00
Angelo Gaja is the man credited for bringing the small commune of Barbaresco out of obscurity. His influence has changed the way the world views Italian wine to this day. A master of Nebbiolo--the austere, tannic grape once considered only quaffable after decades of bottle age, Angelo saw its potential as a world class wine. Despite pushback from his peers, he employed new (and what most considered outlandish) practices both in the vineyard and the winery to promote freshness and elegance in his wine. The story of Gaja is a truly fascinating one, but is best told through a glass of his stunning Barbaresco...(hint, hint)
