2024 Les Alliés Châteauneuf du Pape | Discovery Wine Club (September 2026)

THE STORY Excellent Châteauneuf-du-Pape at this price level is vanishingly rare. The appellation commands what it commands for good reason, and most of what shows up below the usual floor isn’t worth the trouble. The 2024 Les Allies is the exception—a négociant bottling assembled from fruit sourced across the appellation, with the depth and structure to hold its own against wines at twice the price. We put it to the test in a blind lineup of serious bottles. It was the first one emptied. THE DETAILS 🍷 2024 Les Alliés Châteauneuf-du-Pape 📍 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, France 🍇 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah ⭐ 93pts (Wine Enthusiast) 🌡️ Serve at 55°F 📅 Drink now through 2039 🍽️ Pairs with: hard cheese, white meat, cured meat, red meat 👃 Tasting note: Brilliant ruby-red with flashes of garnet. Aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry preserves, and plum laced with dried lavender, garrigue, and cracked pepper. Generous yet poised, with vibrant red and black fruit over lic

The smartest way to buy French wine

France has one wine region that actually tells you what grape is in the bottle. Discover the easy, food-ready wines of Alsace. What questions does this video answer? Why are Alsace wine labels easier to read than Bordeaux or Burgundy? How does the culture of Alsace blend French and German traditions? What is the Vosges "rain shadow" and how does it affect the vineyards? What are the four noble grapes of Alsace? How do you navigate the 51 Grands Crus of the region? About This Video: France has one wine region that actually tells you what grape is in the bottle, rather than just the place it was grown. Welcome to Alsace, a region that has repeatedly changed hands between France and Germany, carrying both cultural identities in its tall flute bottles and half-timbered villages. However, its devotion to dry, food-ready wine is distinctly French. Protected by the Vosges Mountains, which block Atlantic rain, these sunny eastern foothills feature a geological mosaic of granite, limest

2023 Vocal Cabernet Sauvignon Wheeler Vineyard | Discovery Wine Club (September 2026)

THE STORY This is Cabernet with a cooler, more savory accent than California usually offers—dark-fruited and firmly framed, with a mineral spine and lift you can trace straight back to old limestone soils. There's an almost old-school precision to it: structured, energetic, savory rather than plush, built to reward a little patience. Much of that comes down to the source—old vines planted in 1974 at Wheeler Vineyard, one of the oldest Cabernet plantings in a limestone-laced corner of San Benito County that few ever find. THE DETAILS 🍷 2023 Vocal Cabernet Sauvignon, Wheeler Vineyard 📍 San Benito County, California (Central Coast) 🍇 Cabernet Sauvignon (Inglenook clone, 100%) ⭐ 94pts (Decanter magazine) 💲 $95 retail — $80 in this shipment 🌡️ Serve at 60°F 📅 Drink now through 2039 🍽️ Pairs with: cured meat, red meat 👃 Tasting note: Deep garnet-purple with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark plum layered with graphite, sagebrush, and crushed violets.

2023 Jolie Laide Syrah California | Discovery Wine Club (September 2026)

THE STORY Jolie-Laide is the kind of winery that industry insiders talk about in hushed tones—collectors and sommeliers competing for allocations, bottles turning up on the most forward-thinking wine lists in the country. Antonio Galloni has called their wines “nothing short of magnificent,” and the North Coast Syrah is the calling-card bottling that started it all. Cool, perfumed, and precise, with lilac, black pepper, and plush dark fruit—this is California Syrah as it was always meant to be made. THE DETAILS 🍷 2024 Benmar Pinot Noir Above the Clouds 📍 Willamette Valley, Oregon 🍇 Pinot Noir (100%) ⭐ 93pts (Decanter magazine) 🌡️ Serve at 55°F 📅 Drink now through 2035 🍽️ Pairs with: soft cheese, cured meat, red meat 👃 Tasting note: Brilliant ruby with translucent edges.

2024 Benmar Pinot Noir Above the Clouds Willamette Valley | Discovery Wine Club (September 2026)

THE STORY Greg Bybee spent five years at Rochioli learning how world-class Pinot Noir gets made, then took that education north to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Above the Clouds is his high-elevation read on the region—drawn from hillside sites across Yamhill-Carlton, the Eola-Amity Hills, and beyond, and built on a core of tension: bright red cherry, smoky pine, and wet-stone minerality wrapped in fine, grippy tannins. From an instant-classic 2024 vintage, it’s a coiled, structured Pinot that rewards a little patience. THE DETAILS 🍷 2024 Benmar Pinot Noir Above the Clouds 📍 Willamette Valley, Oregon 🍇 Pinot Noir (100%) ⭐ 93pts (Decanter magazine) 🌡️ Serve at 55°F 📅 Drink now through 2035 🍽️ Pairs with: soft cheese, cured meat, red meat 👃 Tasting note: Brilliant ruby with translucent edges.

2025 Cieck Erbaluce di Caluso Piedmont | Discovery Wine Club (September 2026)

THE STORY A tiny, glacier-carved pocket of Piedmont gave the world Erbaluce—and Cieck has done more than almost any producer to keep it alive. Their 2025 bottling is everything we love about this wine: piercing acidity, wet-stone minerality, and a citrusy brightness that makes it nearly impossible to put down. One of the most beloved Italian whites we offer, and still an almost unreasonable value. THE DETAILS 🍷 2025 Cieck Erbaluce di Caluso 📍 Piedmont, Italy (Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG) 🍇 Erbaluce (100%) 💲 $24 📅 Drink now through 2030 🍽️ Pairs with: soft cheese, shellfish, fish 👃 Tasting note: A vibrant, copper-tinged white with aromas of crushed limestone, grapefruit peel, lime leaf, and honeysuckle. Cleansing and mineral-rich on the palate, with piercing acidity carrying through to a long finish. 👉 Join the Discovery Wine Club: https://www.wineaccess.com/discovery-wine-club/ #ErbaluceDiCaluso #PiedmontWine #ItalianWine #WineClub #WineAccess #DiscoveryWineClub Follow along: I

2025 Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc | Discovery Wine Club (September 2026)

THE STORY To put Dog Point’s 94-point score from James Suckling into perspective: “Impressive handmade wine” is how he described it—and he’s not wrong. Made from organically farmed grapes across eight estate-owned sites in the Wairau Valley, with 100% indigenous yeast fermentation and stainless steel aging, the 2025 is a model of what Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc can be when a winery refuses to cut corners at any price point. THE DETAILS 🍷 2025 Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 📍 Marlborough (Wairau Valley), New Zealand 🍇 Sauvignon Blanc (100%) ⭐ 94pts (James Suckling) 🌡️ Serve at 48°F 📅 Drink now through 2029 🍽️ Pairs with: vegetables, soft cheese, shellfish, fish, white meat 👃 Tasting note: Brilliant pale straw with green highlights.
