Staff Pick Notes

This is the kind of wine that smells like pulling on an oversized straw hat in the middle of summer—the aroma of yellow pastures enveloping you. Notes of lightly toasted brioche bread, the kind you can only enjoy in Paris, flutter with an airy state of mind. Silky strands of bubbles lace the tip of your tongue and waltz into the back of the palate. You'll fall in love slowly then all of the sudden head first. There is an unparalleled kaleidoscope of textures, aromas, and tastes in this bottle. Notes of salt, toast, and citrus feel simultaneously new, processed, and developed.

Champagne

Champagne is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a brilliant food wine. For consistency and quality, turn to the big Champagne brands and you’ll never go wrong.

These winemakers control every aspect of grape cultivation and vinification, from the vine to the finished bottle, which is...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
