Founded in 1930, Musar is a story of perseverance: making wine every year of the Civil War except 1976 and 1984, despite the near constant threat of bombings. We once visited with Serge Hochar in Chicago, Musar's patriarch until his passing several years ago. We tasted reds and whites going back to the 1960s. We can assure you with unshakeable confidence that for decades, Musar has crafted some of the greatest and most significant wines on the planet. Chris Poldoian, former General Manager of Camerata Wine Bar, just had Marc Hochar of Musar on his podcast \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bytheglass.podbean.com\/e\/26-a-legacy-of-resilience-with-marc-hochar\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy the Glass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to discuss the winery's legacy if you would like to listen (also available on Spotify, iTunes).

Along with Lafite, Latour, and Mouton, Calon-Ségur was once under the common ownership of Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur. The legend tells that de Segur was quoted saying: 'I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.' This famous quote lives on after him on the label of Chateau Calon-Ségur, where collectors worldwide will recognize the label for its gentle red heart. The Marquis de Calon-Ségur is the second label of the property, but in great years, the wine offers the nobility and character of the Grand Vins of Bordeaux. Previously 75% Merlot, in recent years the estate has shifted the blend in favor of Cabernet Sauvignon. In this case, it has done the wine a great service. This vintage may be the best ever produced of this outstanding second label. It is full-bodied with a masculine tannic structure. The fruit is ripe with red and black currants and plums. Its complex savory character shows aromas like maduro cigar wrapper, fennel seed, bay leaf, each framed and lifted by a skilled selection of 50% new french oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38098531778713,"sku":"1392","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/IMG_4459.jpg?v=1618287969"},{"product_id":"2009-palari-faro-sicilian-red-blend","title":"2009 Palari Faro Sicilia Rosso","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinemaking in this Northeastern corner of Sicily dates back to antiquity, and extensive vineyards were cultivated here until the late 20\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, when they were wiped out by the pesky phylloxera bug.

No longer just a cheap café wine, Muscadet is one of the world's great values for the wine world's most transparent soil-to-glass transfers. It has the unique ability to deliver that leesy, saline minerality we love in Chablis, but in an often half-priced package.  Domaine de l'Ecu is one of the OG organic\/biodynamic viticulturalists in the Loire Valley, and they've pioneered that way of viticulture for nearly a half century. The estate has also led the way for bottling wines by soil types in the Muscadet region. Today, we have the Orthogneiss, a 550cs production single soil type Muscadet that is one of the treasures of the region. Drink if you like Chablis or any other lean, salty, mineral-driven styles.

Their first release was in 1978, and it's no surprise that most buyers at the time were skeptical about spending money on wine from France's 'wine lake', the Languedoc. Yet it was only a few years before this Cabernet Sauvignon heavy diamond in the rough was lavished with adoration from top wine critics and sommeliers. While the intensity of the Languedoc sun can be a challenge to most vignerons, Mas de Daumas Gassac enjoys an exceptionally cooler climate, influenced by the breezes from the Cévennes Mountains to the north, which slow the ripening of the grapes and aid in the retention of natural acidity. This is perfect for balanced Cabernet Sauvignon in this warm region. The final 20% of this Cabernet blend is rounded out with a mix of unusually placed grape varieties the family has been perfecting in the region for the last 40 years: Nebbiolo, Malbec, Dolcetto and more. Those looking for truly interesting wines off France's more beaten paths will find tremendous reward in these wines. The balance is Cabernet Sauvignon's aristocratic fruit and structure is contrasted by the rustic garrigue and minerality offered by the blend's more unusual suspects in a way that is entirely unique in the wine world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40301961445529,"sku":"15604","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2018MasdeDaumasGassacGrandVinRouge.png?v=1650315163"},{"product_id":"2018-anne-herve-sigaud-morey-st-denis-1er-cru-charrieres","title":"2018 Domaine Anne \u0026 Herve Sigaut Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Les Charrieres","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40517266702489,"sku":"16470","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/IMG_5673BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1675729138"},{"product_id":"2016-no-girls-la-paciencia-tempranillo","title":"2016 No Girls \"La Paciencia Vineyard\" Walla Walla Valley Tempranillo","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40533826961561,"sku":"13352","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/Nogirls_b41c5838-4f19-45a3-a815-df7a3ec98c43.jpg?v=1626115936"},{"product_id":"2016-philippe-gavignet-nuits-st-georges-1er-cru-les-pruliers","title":"2016 Philippe Gavignet Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers Rouge","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40602926088345,"sku":"1709","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/IMG_5663BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1675728927"},{"product_id":"2018-bruliam-rocky-road-vineyard-rockpile-zinfandel","title":"2018 Bruliam \"Rocky Road\" Rockpile Zinfandel","description":"\u003cspan color=\"#336699\" style=\"color: #336699;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUTIQUE \u0026amp; BURLESQUE ZINFANDEL with CASHMERE TEXTURE and EASTERN SPICES\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIn 2008, starting with a single barrel, Kerith Overstreet has grown Bruliam Wines to 1000 cases a year of mostly single vineyard pinot noir with a miniscule smidgen of Rockpile zinfandel. Cherishing her grower relationships, Kerith has aligned herself with top vineyards and growers to supply her fruit.  Today she cherry picks her fruit from the top vineyards in Sonoma County, Santa Lucia Highlands, and her own Torrey Hill vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Kerith is a triple-threat: winemaker, former medical doctor, and mom to three kids.  Her final baby, Bruliam Wines, honors her first three: 'Bruno, Lily and Amelia.'  Of course, the 'Bruliam' name and logo riff on the Periodic Table of Elements, with a sly wink to her former medical career. Although her deepest passion is for making wine, Kerith manages all of the day-to-day winery operations.   She also holds the following titles: Chief of Grower Relations, Head of Marketing, Director of Sales, and Go-to Tank Sanitizer.  She writes all of the copy for the website, labels, tasting notes and tech sheets.  So yeah, one could say that she basically holds every winery position herself, with the exception of spreadsheets.  The CF-NO (her Husband) handles Excel. The Dry Creek Valley is Zin country. Bruliam is able to source from their own Rockpile parcel known as 'the Swale' block. This zin is not pink. This zin is not 'hot' or 'jammy,' which are undeniably great assets to a heavy metal cover band. Bruliam's Rockpile Zinfandel is a revelation (cue gospel 'Amen,' sister). I'm not kidding.  You've got to try this stuff.  Even Kerith's mom says so. This is the first vintage with Bruliams new Rockpile partners at the Gloeckner-Turner ranch and they couldn't be more thrilled. From the first drops, the intensity of hue is hypnotic. Then, dark black and blue fruits, heady exotic spice, and cigar box waft from the glass. This Zin is hedonistic and plush, with a backbone of solid acid that keeps her lively and food friendly. This Zin is rich and comforting, like cashmere pajamas. Rockpile is in her DNA. She's gorgeous. You'll love her.","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47334966690025,"sku":"11035","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/bruliamrockpilezinfandel.jpg?v=1626796951"},{"product_id":"2017-domaine-du-jaugaret-vin-de-france-saint-julien","title":"2017 Domaine du Jaugaret Vin de France (Saint Julien)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe receive miniscule amounts of this wine each year.

Horsepower \"High Contrast Vineyard\" Walla Walla Valley Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHorsepower specializes in powerful Northern-Rhône inspired Syrah from Christophe's single vineyards. The wines are deeply brooding, very tannic, unfined and unfiltered, and full of feral, rustic flavors more reminiscent of the inky, powerful Syrahs from legendary producers in Cornas. Water and nutrients are low, so the highly stressed vines produce very small yields, which create wines with tremendous intensity and complexity reflective of the stony soils of Walla Walla. It often takes four or more vines to make one single bottle of wine! These wines are all critically acclaimed every vintage and many of them have received 100 point scores across multiple vintages. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e KELLY RAU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e96 points from Owen Bargreen:\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"The nose is wonderfully high-toned with orange blossoms that connect with smoked meats, black olive tapenade and shades of boysenberry cordial that all mingle in the glass.
