E. Guigal is such a legendary Rhone Valley producer that its top three Côte-Rôties -- La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque – are lovingly referred to as the “LaLas” by collectors and enthusiasts. Parker calls these signature wines “mind boggling.”

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou is a Second Growth Bordeaux in St.-Julien. It was named for the “beautiful stones” found in the region. The wine is even more impressive.

Spottswoode Vineyard & Winery was founded 1972 by the Novak family, who produced their first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1982. Spottswoode Cabs are widely admired, and the family-run estate also produces Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
