2023 SCHÄTZEL Riesling 3000
2023 SCHATZEL Rheinhessen Kabinett
Kai Schätzel is a mad scientist and these wines are a direct inlet into the genius of not only his intensive farming practices but also his incredible approach to winemaking. In a world where the definitions of natural wine seem increasingly ambiguous and nonsensical, Kai Schätzel is making delicious natural wine.

2023 CHÂTEAU THIVIN Brouilly Reverdon
This encapsulates everything I love about Beaujolais and has me reminiscing on my beginnings at Metrovino as this was the first red wine I ever fell in love with.

2023 CHÂTEAU THIVIN Côte de Brouilly Sept Vignes
The Sept Vignes is a little bit more serious and bloodied in nature, but still offers the ease of drinking and fruit one would expect from Cru Beaujolais. We've gone way too long without these wines, but boy-oh-boy has the 2023 vintage delivered!

2022 CAVEAU DES JACOBINS Côtes du Jura Pinot Noir
This funky barnyard-y little number from the Jura is back!!!

2021 FRUITIÈRE VINICOLE D'ARBOIS Arbois Trousseau
Soft tannins, crunchy red fruit, with a backbone of earthy, mushroom dust. It's good to have this back!

2023 JAKOBY MATHY Kinheimer Riesling Kabinett

This is how this Riesling makes me feel. 

2023 CHARLES HOURS Jurançon Sec Juste Le Blanc
The new vintage of this Jurançon sec has hit the shelf!

2023 CHÂTEAU PRADEAUX Bandol Rosé
While not the cheapeast, few places are able to deliver more flavoursome, textured, and powerful rosé than Bandol. The 2023 vintage is pumping right now!

2019 CHÂTEAU PRADEAUX Bandol Rouge
Despite already being 6 years old the '19 Bandol rouge still has a looong life ahead of it, and I like it even more than 2018!

This week's additions are a sight for sore eyes. Stay tuned for next week!
