An unforgettable afternoon at James Suckling Great Wines of the World in San Francisco.

What made it truly special was reconnecting with so many dear friends in the wine world — some friendships going back 25 years or more — and meeting new ones along the way. Moments like this remind me how small and special the wine community really is.

Honored to be sharing the beautiful wines of Livio Sassetti Pertimali, one of the historic producers of Brunello di Montalcino. Wines rooted in tradition, terroir, and time.

Grateful for the friendships, the stories, and the great bottles that bring us all together. 🍷

Great afternoon pouring the wines of Livio Sassetti with the wonderful Kelly Axelrod.

Sassetti is one of the historic producers of Brunello di Montalcino, farming beautiful vineyards on the Montosoli hillside and crafting wines that balance power, elegance, and longevity.

A pleasure sharing these remarkable wines with friends and colleagues today. 🍷

A special day tomorrow in San Francisco.

We’ll be pouring the wines of Livio Sassetti – Pertimali at the James Suckling Great Wines of the World.

My connection to the Sassetti family goes back more than 25 years when my friend and mentor Greg St. Clair first introduced us. Over the years we stayed close — visiting, sharing meals, and sending business back and forth.

Some relationships in wine take time… and when the moment is right, they come full circle.

Now we are proud to represent this historic Brunello estate in California.

📍 Montosoli hillside
🌱 Organic farming
🍷 36 months in large Slavonian oak

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a beauty — classic structure, elegance, and minerality from one of Montalcino’s greatest crus.

If you’re attending tomorrow, please stop by and say hello.

Salute.

La Paulée San Francisco — what a night.

An unforgettable day of spectacular bottles, deep conversations, and the friendships that make this industry so meaningful.

So great to reconnect with Paul Einbund and the incredibly talented Soyoung Scanlan, founder of Andante Dairy — whose cheeses carry as much precision and soul as the wines we were pouring.

The lineup was extraordinary.
The room was electric.
Great times had by all.

These are the moments that remind me why I love this business. 🍷✨

🎄 ’Tis the season for holiday feasts… and unforgettable wines.

From prime rib and Yorkshire pudding to Aunt Sue’s legendary Cranberry Crimson Mold, the holidays bring out the dishes we wait for all year long—some more beloved than others. 😉

And when the table is full, great wine makes every bite even better.
For a true classic, few bottles shine like a Christmas Barolo—an Italian tradition that pairs beautifully with hearty winter fare.

This year, I’m turning to one of the most historic names in Barolo: Azelia.
Five generations. Over 100 years. Organically farmed vineyards. Native yeasts. Neutral aging. Pure tradition—no shortcuts.

Their rare Azelia Barolo Riserva Bricco Voghera 2014 is something extraordinary.
Perched on a tiny, impossibly steep cru in Serralunga, the vines average 95 years old and produce tiny, concentrated berries packed with nuance. Lorenzo Scavino—Azelia’s winemaker—still works much of the vineyard himself.

Antonio Galloni called the 2014 Voghera:

⭐️ “One of the most compelling wines I have ever tasted from Azelia… flat-out stunning.” (97+)

Silky tannins. Inner perfume. Sweet red & purple fruit. Blood orange. Spice.
A wine that stops you in your tracks.

From the gold label to the aromas that soar from the glass, this Barolo is built for the season:
✨ Prime rib
✨ Roast duck
✨ Truffle dishes
✨ Or simply sipping slowly by the tree

🍷✨ Sharing Christophe Baron’s wines in Los Angeles ✨🍷

✨🍾 Fête du Champagne — Los Angeles 🍾✨
What an incredible time celebrating one of my favorite events of the year. Great wines, great energy, and even better catching up with longtime friends who make this industry so special.

Nothing beats sharing champagne and stories with the people who’ve been part of the journey from the beginning. Already looking forward to the next one! 🥂✨

It’s been an honor to meet and speak with Speaker Nancy Pelosi multiple times over the years. She’s always been gracious, kind, and incredibly sharp — a true force of leadership and integrity. I have immense admiration for the incredible work she’s done for San Francisco and our country.

Here’s one of the few photos I have of us together — taken at the Giants’ Opening Day game some years back. A special memory with an extraordinary woman. ⚾🇺🇸

Don’t you Hate overpaying? Us too!
When it comes to Champagne, the big brands (aka Grande Marques) spend massive amounts on marketing-and guess who foots the bill? Yep, it’s you! That’s why these brands dominate 90% of Champagne sales. But here’s a tip: skip the big names and find better quality at lower prices by choosing small growers, or “récoltants.” Look for “RM” or “RC” on the back label!
Our pick? Champagne Pascal Lallement. * This rich, toasty Champagne is a true gem, and it holds its own against Bollinger Special Cuvée. Here’s the best part:
Bollinger ages 3 years, includes 50% reserve wine, and
costs around $83.
- Pascal Lallement? Aged 4-5 years,
with 65% reserve wine—and 40% less expensive!
More Champagne for your buck and even better quality? Yes, please!
