Staff Pick Notes

Yet another delicious white wine from Gascony. I have said this once and I will say it again: Gascony is underlooked next to Bordeaux for highly flavorful white wines. Domaine de Pajot is located on higher ground overlooking Eauze, a town in Gascony that is the capital of Armagnac! Third-generation owner Damien Barreau and his son, Clement, harvest the grapes by hand and do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides in the vineyard. Moreover, the estate is also certified organic. This Cotes de Gascogne wine is a blend of sauvignon blanc, colombard, ugni blanc, and gros manseng and drinks incredibly light on the palate. Expect ripe fruit flavors of kiwi, mango, peach, nectarine, green apple, pear and brilliant wet-stone minerality.

There, it was widely used to produce sweet yet crisp bulk wines. Seeing what the Americans had done, the French would soon welcome the grape back into the fold, taking advantage of California's advances in winemaking...

Ugni Blanc

Known as Trebbiano in Italy, Ugni Blanc is best known as the main ingredient in Cognac.

Sauvignon Blanc

Few varietals have spawned as bizarre a list of descriptors as Sauvignon Blanc. Believe it or not, “cat pee” is in fact a complimentary tasting note, associated with some of the best bottlings. (It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...
