Peay Vineyards Masterclass Hosted by Winemaker Andy Peay Sonoma, California Tuesday May 19th 6.30-8pm 10 customers only 9 wines $80 per person Bookings essential, link in bio “The latest releases from the Peay family vineyards are wines of uncommon brightness and verve that encapsulate the qualities of the new, cool West Sonoma Coast AVA.” - Anna Krebiehl, Master of Wine. Peay Vineyards is a family-owned winery founded in 1996 by brothers Nick and Andy Peay on the remote Sonoma Coast of California. The estate is known for its cool-climate, coastal vineyard—located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean—which produces elegant, site-driven wines. Winemaking is led by Vanessa Wong, Nick’s wife, while the vineyard is farmed organically with a strong focus on sustainability. Peay specializes in Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay, with all wines largely made from estate-grown fruit. Since its first vintage in 2002, the winery has gained a reputation for producing refined, terroir-expressive wines from one of California’s most marginal growing regions. We’re excited to welcome Andy Peay to the store to show us his estate’s latest releases and in the process, educate us all on winemaking in Sonoma. Please join us for what should be a great masterclass.

The Rebholz (Pfalz) wine are today considered amongst some of the best coming out of Germany, particularly in the dry style. They’re full bodied and driving with powerful acid lines and fleshy fruit dripping off underlying minerality. They’re impressive and highly recommended. The 2024s have just landed - link in bio for notes on these. @real_wines @oekonomieratrebholz

Cerbaiona - Montalcino, Tuscany “If forced to drink only one wine from Montalcino, I might very well choose Diego Molinari’s sumptuous Brunello (Cerbaiona)” Antonio Galloni This was my first visit to the estate of Cerbaiona, where I met with Matthew Fioretti. Along with investor Gary Rieschel, they purchased this historic estate in 2015 from Diego Molinari and began a four-year process of uprooting, replanting, and extending the vineyards, which are now cultivated using the alberello method. They have also overseen the construction of a new underground cellar. The wines have a renewed focus on precision, clarity, freshness, and sense of place. It is immediately apparent that Mr. Fioretti brings a fastidious attention to detail from the vineyard to the glass, and I, for one, find this a welcome change that seems to be leading Cerbaiona to a potential place among the best of the region. Audrey Frick (February 2026). I took a bottle of the entry level ‘Grammatica’ home the other day and loved it from start to finish. What was supposed to be rationed across two nights disappeared in two hours. It’s red fruited and elegant, with a nose that is perhaps closer to elegant Barolo than typical Tuscan Sangiovese: pressed flowers, blood orange, mandarin zest and red fruit throughout. A very classy wine and a great ‘business card’ for the wines up the scale. In fact, this wine could technically be classified and labelled as a Rosso di Montalcino however Cerbaiona choose to declassify it. For the Rosso and Brunello, they use free-run juice only (going part-way to explain the ethereal nature of those two wines) whereas they do use pressings for Grammatica. Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.

Our @henschke dinner was held on Wednesday evening at @lefoote and it was a roaring success! The 2022s are typically elegant and seamless: a vintage Henschke can be very proud of a certainly one to add to your cellar. Many thanks to all who attended. It seemed as though everyone had a fantastic night. And thank you to Keenan and the staff at Le Foote for a fantastic service and for help in getting the evening organised @keenanwaterfront Special mention must also go to both Justine Henschke and winemaker Gwen Olsen for hosting the night. @justine_henschke We look forward to doing it all again next year! And for those of you who are looking to secure some of the new releases, please get in touch or follow the link in bio to see what we have. PS thanks for the photos @elea__martin @mezzaninewine

New releases from Irrewarra (by Nick Farr) The vineyard is located in the heart of the Western District Farming country, approximately 150 kilometres south-west of Melbourne. Think dairy, beef, sheep, wheat, hay and forestry production. Irrewarra is surrounded by in land lakes and volcanic plains. It is a diverse and beautiful landscape that relies on a high amount of natural rainfall throughout the year. The Western plains are quite exposed to the elements which contributes to the vineyard site’s mystic. It is a site that truly reflects the complexities and varietal characters of the vines that are planted in this cool climate region. Nick Farr, winemaker.

“The Pope of Montlouis and Vouvray—just a sublimely great producer. He knows his vineyards better than anyone and he styles his cuvées according to the contours of each vineyard. The wines are pure and clean, yet profoundly expressive. And they are still phenomenal value.” - Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay, The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste. Our latest releases from this standard-bearer include a selection of 2024s: a cooler vintage yielding some of Chidaine’s most vibrant, citrussy wines of recent years. By contrast, the older vintages offer power and poise: supple, layered whites that feel almost statuesque in their brilliance. Both 2022 and 2023 stand out as exceptional, hedonistic years for this meticulous grower and are already drinking beautifully. Link in bio for notes on these. @bibendumwineco

‘Pieropan – The best when it comes to Soave’. Ian Cook, FWC. 2024 was a challenging vintage with every phase of the season affected by intense meteorological events. Winter was wet, Spring had late frosts whilst May and June were mild but very wet. The summer months were very hot and the rain returned in mid September. Overall, yields were down by about 20%. Practising organic (and certified) viticulture, the vineyard team had everything thrown at them and the resulting wines are superb. It’s often the more challenging vintages where the best producers shine... Link in bio for notes on these... @pieropanwines @trembathandtaylor

These are wines I have worshiped for over a decade so an appointment at this address in November 2024 was very special. You can’t meet a more humble person than Pierre-Yves: his finger is well-and truly on the pulse when it comes to the various terroirs of Burgundy. His 2023s are excellent and a complete no-brainer. Mention must also go to the wines of Pierre-Yves’ wife Caroline who is every bit as involved in production here. In fact, Caroline makes all the reds across the PYCM and Caroline Morey label, while Pierre-Yves handles the whites! While none of the wines here are cheap, the quality is extremely high with the 2023s arguably eclipsing the fabulous 2022s. – Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.

Moss Wood is my favourite Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia & I have been cellaring it for 40 years. One of the best tastings from 2025 was a vertical line up of 1996, 2000, 2007, 2011, 2021 and 2022. What a line up. I highly recommend you add the 2023 to your cellar. Ian Cook, FWC.

Savart is one of the great success stories in Champagne over the last decade or so. That’s no longer news. What I admire most, though, is Fred Savart’s relentless quest to elevate quality and his curiosity in exploring new approaches, such as the use of glass Wineglobes for some of his wines. This is not the easiest range to understand, as that experimentation also leads to cases where the 750ml and 1.5L versions of the same wine undergo completely different approaches in the cellar with regards to vinification/aging vessels and closures, something readers should note. The top wines here have been gorgeous for some time, but the entry-level offerings have recently moved up a notch. Antonio Galloni, March 2024 Savart ‘Ouverture’ Brut Premier Cru NV now in stock.

Emmanuel Brochet hails from the Villers-aux-Noeuds village south of the city of Reims in Champagne. He farms 2.5 hectares of vines, all located in a single parcel, and planted with all three major varieties with the oldest vines dating back to 1962. The vineyard was converted to organic viticulture starting with the 2008 vintage, which he does more out of respect for the land than something he necessarily believes results in better wine. These wines have quietly built up quite the reputation across Europe and now Australia and beyond. The bottles i have had have been remarkably good, providing detail and precision without sacrificing genuine enjoyment, silky textures and a generous delivery of primary fruit. Small quantities only, these come highly recommended. @neshsimic
