Last Call: Top 5 Best White Wines of 2024

Don't miss these TOP 5 world-class white wines before they're gone!

#1. Greece's Finest & Most Iconic White for Over a Decade - $49.97

First up: For the first time in years, we are pleased to offer you 24 bottles of Greece's finest and most iconic white. The Sigalas Santorini Assyrtiko 2022 is normally imported in tiny quantities exclusively for the renowned Evvia Estiatorio and TAVERNA restaurants in Palo Alto—as it should be.

When I poured this 'ace in my sleeve' at a private event last week, one sip was all it took to start a total feeding frenzy. I had to disappoint many folks wanting this as their new house white wine due to the lack of supply.

"Ripe and dense, this is a big wine on the palate, yet it is never overripe and it is sometimes stonewashed in demeanor. It shows good balance while it coats the palate, and it finishes with great fruit supported by impressive structure."

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

#2. "Beautifully PURE" 94pt Top 100 Finest Blancos of Spain

I just returned from a tour-of-a-lifetime throughout Spain and am elated to share the two most profound blancos from the trip. These micro-production stunners should cost double given their quality, but don't, so take advantage.

Take Premier Cru Chablis and add more salinity, fragrance, nuance, and take half off the price, and you get these two gems hailing from the mountainsides of Valdeorras and the coasts of Rias Baixas:

94 Points - James Suckling:

"A sophisticated albarino that you need to take seriously. There is almost a Burgundian touch to this..."

94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:

"It has a beautifully pure, almost crystalline-like profile... love its overall balance, and it's medium-bodied, with a great mid-palate, integrated acidity, and a terrific finish."

92 Points, #70 Top 100 Wines of 2022 - Wine Spectator:

"Sleek and well-knit, with a streak of salinity underscoring a creamy mesh of pink grapefruit, cherry blossom, Marcona almond and blood orange peel flavors that linger on the mouthwatering finish."

#3. CULT Chablis (Dauvissat Taste-Alike) @ Hundreds LESS

NEVER AVAILABLE RETAIL

Only 24 bottles were allocated to us... only ONCE a YEAR (sometimes)

We just received a minuscule allocation, only mere bottles, of Moreau Naudet's latest AOC Chablis. This normally doesn't happen—as the bottles are typically exclusively offered to places like French Laundry and Village Pub.

Outstanding Top Value - Burghound:

“Stéphane Moreau may be very young but he's already been making wine for more than a decade and that he possesses a gifted touch is obvious to anyone who has had the pleasure of tasting his wines. One of the strengths of the young is that they're open minded to new ideas and Moreau told me that he has begun experimenting with biodynamics….. I find Moreau to be one of the most exciting young growers in Chablis and his wines are well worth the trouble to get to know if you haven’t yet tried them.”

#4. 100pt Cult Barolo Icon Bruno Giacosa's Arneis - $45.97 btl

100pt Cult Barolo Icon Bruno Giacosa's adored Roero Arneis is finally back!

This was our top selling Italian white for years, until it became exclusive to Michelin-Starred restaurants. The latest 2022 vintage is super luscious and sumptuous—much more opulent than before.

94 Points - James Suckling:

Energetic and bright with sliced green apples, mangoes and citrus with some honeysuckle. It’s medium- to full-bodied with lovely fruit. Electric acidity. Salty at the end.

#5. WS 95 "STUNNING" Cult RRV Merry Edwards Sauv Blanc

From Artisan Client: "It’s worth noting for us long time Merry Edwards’ fans that her 1977 Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon blend is unforgettable. Absolutely stunning wine. Her history certainly precedes the founding of her own winery.

One of California's first woman winemakers, Merry Edwards began her career at Mount Eden Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains in 1974. She went on to become the founding winemaker at Matanzas Creek in 1977 and remained there until 1984."
