2020 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay Australia

Leeuwin is located in Margaret River in Western Australia. This is like drinking a new world Grand Cru Burgundy. It's one of the most decorated wineries in OZ and deservedly so. This is their finest Chardonnay. For a quarter of the price, the Prelude line of wines is very good too.

2022 Domaine Roland Tissier et Fils Les Caillottes Sancerre

This is my favorite Sauvignon Blanc in the store at present. Les Caillottes are the small river pebbles that litter the vineyards in Loire. Once you taste this wine, you'll have a reference point for what Sauvignon Blanc can and should be. Depending on how you look at that, you'll either have eyes wide open or be spoiled for life. 

2015 Trimbach Riesling Selection de Vieilles Vignes Alsace

What if I told you that you could drink a dry Riesling produced by the leading family in NE France with more than 400 years of experience for less than $30? We scored a deal on a large amount of this wine, but it won't last. People try this wine and come back for a case. This mouth watering wine is so delicious and in a perfect drinking window. If you love cheese as much as I do, this wine will be your new favorite wine to pair with cheese.

2021 Keenan Chardonnay Napa Valley Spring Mountain District

Napa Chard can be overly oaky and/or sweet (Rombauer). I don't care for either of those styles. So, when I find a wine like this that is perfectly balanced, I buy a lot of it. Keenan is a leading producer on Spring Mountain and this Chardonnay would still represent a good deal at $50+.

2022 Scrimaglio Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona DOC

This grape was resurrected by Walter Massa over the last four decades and Derthona is its place of origin. This area is located between Malpensa airport in Milan and Barolo in Piemonte. There are still fewer than 50 producers of this indigenous varietal. To taste and appreciate this wine is to really earn a badge as an Italian wine geek. This is a fabulous wine with bright acid, an herbal mineral, white flowers, stone fruits and has the potential age for decades when it can take on petrol characteristics like Riesling. Highly recommended.

2022 Pasetti Collecivetta Abruzzo Pecorino DOP

Pasetti is our #1 favorite family winery in Abruzzo and BHW exclusively imports their whole portfolio, which is something we rarely do. In the hands of expert farmers and producers like Pasetti, Pecorino transcends into a wine that makes you think, "How can this possibly be this good at this low price?" I've learned to always have at least two bottles chilled when I serve this wine, because one bottle is never enough.

2022 Zuccardi Fosil Chardonnay Valle de Uco

Continuing our global hunt for outstanding Chardonnay, I lead you to the best region for Malbec in Argentina. Remember, these vineyards are up against the Andes mountains and higher up, you find stunning vineyards fed by snowmelt and kept cool by the altitude. Don't take my word for it. Three of the best wine critics in the world rate this wine 95-97 pts. Once you taste this, you'll ask yourself whether you really need to pay $400 for Montrachet.

2020 Selbach Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Mosel Riesling Grosse Gewachs

Grosse Gewachs means "great growth" or birthed at a venerated vineyard. Referred to as "GG's" this is drinking from the top of the pyramid among dry Rieslings. The German wine critic from the Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt says, "Selbach-Oster might be one of the hottest domains along the Mosel, if not in all Germany."

2022 Domaine Vincent Wengier Chablis

James Suckling praises Chablis for its purity and refreshment, and this stunning expression from Domaine Vincent Wengier is no exception. Nestled in the heart of Prehy, this family-run estate has been crafting wines of precision and elegance since 1950. Grown in 180-million-year-old Kimmeridgian soils, rich with fossilized oyster shells, this mineral-driven Chablis is the ultimate oyster and seafood companion.

2014 Planeta 'Didacus' Chardonnay Sicily

A Burgundian-inspired masterpiece with a Sicilian soul, this 95-point Chardonnay is a benchmark for Italy. Planeta, one of Sicily’s most renowned wineries, crafts this wine from carefully selected vineyards, delivering a stunning balance of rich texture, mineral elegance, and sun-kissed Mediterranean vibrancy. Named “Winemaker of the Year” (2023) by Wine Enthusiast, Alessio Planeta continues his family's five-century legacy of excellence, blending tradition with innovation. Vinous Media calls Planeta “a master class in Sicilian wine”—and this Chardonnay proves why.

2022 Powell & Son Neldner Road Marsanne Barossa Valley

A truly WOW wine, this ultra-limited Marsanne is the pinnacle of Powell & Son’s premium whites. Inspired by the legendary Hermitage Blancs of the Northern Rhône, this Barossa Valley gem is crafted by Dave Powell, co-founder of Torbreck, whose wines have earned 100-point accolades. Sourced from meticulously restored vineyards and made with minimal intervention, it balances vibrancy and richness, offering layers of stone fruit, honeysuckle, and flinty minerality.

2022 Les Hauts de Milly Chablis Grand Cru Bougros

From the esteemed Domaine Bernard Defaix, this Chablis embodies the purity, minerality, and finesse that have made the region legendary. Crafted by the Defaix family—renowned for their meticulous organic and biodynamic approach—this wine reflects the iconic Kimmeridgian limestone soils, rich with 180-million-year-old fossilized oyster shells. Aged in 80% stainless steel and 20% neutral oak, it balances vibrant acidity, refined texture, and mouthwatering salinity, making it a perfect pairing for oysters and seafood. With the 96-point vintage (Vinous Media) and one of the most unique terroirs in the world, this is Chablis at its finest.
