This Is Why You Wait 10 Years for Bordeaux

But it becomes something else entirely with age. The Château Giscours Margaux 2016 is a perfect example of why patience pays off. This is a 10-year ex-château release, meaning the wine has been perfectly stored at the estate before being released. That matters, becaus

Shall We Wine

Assyrtiko Outside Greece? This Sonoma Mountain White Blend | Five Sips Deep

What do you get when a mountain becomes a mosaic of 170 micro-vineyards? A white wine with tension, texture, and breathtaking aromatics. Stonestreet's Assyrtiko-Sémillon-Malvasia blend hits with blood orange, honeysuckle, nectarine, and a racy acidity that resets your whole palate. Stonestreet farms across elevations from 400 to 2,400 feet in Alexander Valley — and every layer of altitude shows up in this wine. Christopher and Ariel Jackson are continuing a family legacy of mountain farming, and

New Zealand Pinot With Quiet Power — Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys | Five Sips Deep

Think New Zealand Pinot Noir is all soft fruit and easy sipping? This one has other plans. Nautilus Estate's 2019 Southern Valleys Pinot brings quiet power and elegance from one of Marlborough's most distinctive subregions — clay soils, whole-cluster fermentation, and a depth that catches you off guard. The Southern Valleys sit at the cooler, more sheltered end of Marlborough, and the wines that come from here are richer and more structured than what most people associate with New Zealand Pinot.

Four Sonoma Terroirs in One Glass — Copain Daybreak White Blend | Five Sips Deep

What happens when mountain, fog, sun, and coastline come together in one wine? Copain's Daybreak White Blend delivers balance, texture, and quiet complexity that genuinely calms the palate. Green tea, honey, pear, and guava — layered but never loud. This is Sonoma elegance at its most understated. Copain draws fruit from across Sonoma County — Russian River, Alexander Valley, Sonoma Coast — and blends it with a French-inspired restraint that sets them apart. Daybreak isn't trying to impress you.

Your Next Favorite Sauvignon Blanc Isn't From New Zealand — It's From Spain | Five Sips Deep

What if your go-to Sauvignon Blanc didn't come from France or New Zealand? This crisp, organic white from Toledo, Spain is about to reset your palate — and your expectations. Zingy, fresh, and clean without being boring. A wine that proves Toledo is way more than bulk juice. Bodegas Pinuaga is doing something different in central Spain — farming organically and making wines with real personality in a region most people overlook. This Bianco has the brightness you want from Sauvignon Blanc but wi

A 1985 Wine Inside a 2021 Bottle? Dr. Frank Brut Cuvée '85 | Five Sips Deep

What happens when a sparkling wine blends the energy of a fresh vintage with the wisdom of a wine born in 1985? Only 100 cases of this exist. The 2021 Brut Cuvée '85 from Dr. Konstantin Frank marries bright Finger Lakes acidity with a rare dosage drawn from the winery's very first traditional-method sparkling — made nearly 40 years ago. This is a tribute to the first traditional-method sparkling wine ever produced on the East Coast. Dr. Frank proved decades ago that the Finger Lakes could mirror

When Bordeaux Meets Paso Robles Mountain Fruit — DAOU Cab 2022 | Five Sips Deep

DAOU's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is unapologetically expressive — dark fruit, baking spice, cigar box, and fine-grained tannins wrapped in a long, smooth finish. This is what happens when Bordeaux structure meets Paso Robles mountain intensity. Power and polish in the same glass. The Daou brothers came to California with a vision: make Cabernet that rivals the world's greatest. Their mountain estate sits on high-elevation calcareous soils — the same limestone base that defines Bordeaux's Right Ban

Sparkling Wine as a Force for Good? Bricoleur Blanc de Blancs | Five Sips Deep

What happens when a sparkling wine becomes a work of art and a force for good? This limited-edition Blanc de Blancs from Bricoleur Vineyards might be the most intentional bottle I've featured yet. Bright fruit, graceful texture, and a hand-illustrated label by New York artist John Donohue — with $10 from every bottle going to cancer research. Bricoleur's Sip With Purpose initiative supports the V Foundation, and that mission runs through everything this family does — creativity, resilience, phil

Napa's Best Chardonnay in a Decade? 2023 Chateau Montelena | Five Sips Deep

This 2023 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay is already being called one of the best in the last decade — and after tasting it, I get why. Cool vintage. Racy acidity. Layers of pear, lime, and flinty minerality. This is Napa Chardonnay with tension and restraint, not butter and oak. The story behind this bottle goes deep — from the Judgment of Paris victory that changed American wine forever to the Barrett family's five decades of quiet, relentless refinement. Their philosophy? Question everything. Le

We Tried Making Bubblegum Wine Again (It Got Weird)

Day one of vintage without Brendan. He's in Austria. I'm (Henry) running the vlog. And the experiment he started before he left — sealing whole Barbera berries in our cold store under CO2, no fermenter, no crushing — is sitting in the basement waiting to be checked. We tried another method earlier in vintage and it failed. This is take two, on a bigger scale, and we genuinely couldn't find any record of anyone else making wine this way. The fruit came out tasting like bubblegum. Confected, lifte
