Chateau Poesia - St. Emilion Grand Cru - Bordeaux - 2019 Vinous Media - 96 Points! "The 2019 Poesia is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Hélène and Patrice Lévêque. Rich and sumptuous, Poesia marries intensity with vibrancy in grand style. Poesia is a big, explosive Saint-Émilion, but it also possesses tremendous energy. Dark fruit, gravel, incense, spice and saddle leather open with a bit of coaxing. There is an exotic quality to Poesia in 2019 that is especially alluring. Brilliant." -Antonio Galloni Newsletter Special - $38.99* *Best Online Price in the Country! Arrives Tuesday! Chateau Poesia (Poetry in English), one of the newest acquisitions of the Helene Garcin family, owners of the famed Château Haut-Bergey, Château Branon, Château d'Arce, and Château Clos L’Eglise in Pomerol, plus the terrific Argentinian property also called Poesia. The Garcin family has been quickly purchacing up neglected Bordeaux properties with great potential in terroir, Poesia being the former Château Haut Villet situated on the sought after limestone plateau in St. Emilion, especially from the powerful 2019 vintage. This is an outstanding value at $38.99, and a great opportunity to get in with a new producer destined for greatness. Wine Advocate 92-94+ "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Poesia is a little closed to begin, soon opening out to reveal wonderfully pure notes of crushed red and black plums, fresh blackberries and warm cherries with nuances of allspice, aniseed, potpourri and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, featuring loads of mineral sparks and a wicked backbone of freshness, with very fine-grained tannins to support, finishing long and vibrant."

Dönnhoff - Riesling "Tonschiefer" Trocken (Dry), Nahe, Germany 2020 WA93/JS93 Wine Advocate 93 Points - "Predominantly from the Leistenberg plus first selections of the local crus, the 2020 Riesling Tonschiefer opens enormously pure and stony as well as citric on the earthy nose that is a terrific representative for the clayish slate terroir. Complex and juicy on the palate, this is a tensioned, finely reductive yet very intense and structured dry Riesling with fine phenolic grip and an expressive finish with salty-piquant and phenolic acidity. An impressive wine. 12% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in July 2021." Newsletter Special - $24.99
