JB Becker Rieslings at VinopolisOnce Germany’s finest winemaking region, the Rheingau fell into obscurity in the previous century. Today, interest and investment has brought the region back into the limelight. Quality-focused estates are becoming if not common names among most wine drinkers, better known among insiders. The German wine association, the VDP, has also helped elevate the region and its mostly-dry wines.
 
One such estate benefiting from renewed interest in the region and dry Rieslings is J.B. Becker. Despite crafting ultra-long-aging dry and mostly-dry Rieslings from his family’s estate for over fifty years, wasn’t until recently that the name became known among Riesling fans. Founded in 1893 by the grandfather (Jean Baptiste Becker) of the current owner (Hans-Joseph Becker or HaJo), this small estate is tucked away in the Rheingau.

Bodegas y Viñedos Raúl Pérez
 

 
“Raúl Pérez is the archetype of the intuitive winemaking genius.” -Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, Decanter Magazine.
 
Left to his own devices, Raul Perez was planning to be a medical professional. Even though he would become one of the most respected enologists of his generation, it is most instructive to look at Perez as an artist who has brought a new vision to his home appellation of Bierzo, first at his family’s winery and founding members of terroir focused “New Spain” movement like Bernabeleva before bringing his own winery into the world.
 
Beyond respect from the movers and shakers in his own country of origin Perez has received “Winemaker of the Year” in 2014 from Germany’s “Der Feinschmecker” magazine and “Best Winemaker in the World” from France’s “Bettane+Desseauve” wine Periodical in 2015.

Lux Champagne

Delamotte is best known as the more affordable sister estate of Salon—one of the finest names in luxury Blanc de Blancs Champagne. The estates share viticultural, winemaking, and management teams, per Wine Searcher. While overlooking Delamotte in favor of its wildly more expensive sister is understandable, it ignores the fact that Delamotte is a Champagne House of note in its own right.
 
What makes Delamotte’s Champagnes so special? These represent some of the finest Blanc de Blancs terroirs in all of Champagne. These Champagnes define chalk: the precious fruit is grown on the slopes of the Grand Cru villages of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, and Cramant.

We’ve placed four of our top in-stock California estates on our three-day sale!
 
Buccella
 
According to Bill and Alicia Deem, their wine project began with a dream and a promise over a well-aged bottle of Gaja. That fact alone should properly set the stage for this winery’s power and ambition. After all, with a name like Buccella, translated from Latin into “mouthful,” why would they settle for something small?
 
Hundred Acre
 
Hundred Acre’s wines are as unique and filled with personality as their winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge. Big, bold, rich and textured, they’re among the most coveted wines we offer.
