There’s a feeling in the air. Fall is around the corner, the days are growing a little shorter, but they still have that lingering summer heat.
We are showcasing some really special w**es- perhaps something you might not normally gravitate toward, or simply because you didn’t know of its existence.
This is a sign to try something new.

2024 Carl Loewen Leiwener Laurentiuslay Riesling Spätlese Mosel-
Block-harvested with a tiny proportion of botrytis, and matured in Fuder down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. Juicy, elegant, peachy. Due to its higher elevation, it offers an acidity that is comparatively low, so the sweetness stands out through an exotic touch of honeyed yellow fruits.
2024 Carl Loewen Maximin Herrenberg “1986 Riesling Mosel-
A remarkably complex off-dry white, fermented in a 60-year old Fuder still made from Mosel oak. Beautifully engaging on the palate, with a subtle nose of white peach, herbs, spices, and whipped cream. A fruity complexity is nicely wrapped in zesty minerals, finishing with a touch of grapefruit zest and under ripe pineapple.
Lail Vineyards Georgia 2024 Sauvignon Blanc- 100 pts
This exquisite, Graves-style (dry white Bordeaux) Sauvignon Blanc is fermented and aged in 100% French oak barrels for 18 months. It displays unprecedented depth and complexity, amazing texture, and a long lingering finish. The w**emaker notes that Georgia is exuberant, powerful, and spirited, with aromas of apricots, white truffle, clementine, and jasmine. Minerality is here in spades, as is the bright, driving acidity. Brimming with flavors of white peach, lemon confit, mint, honeydew, and toasted almond.
