Wine of the Week
David Paige Pinot Noir Chehalem ’18 “Vivid ruby. Ripe, spice-tinged red and blue fruits, savory herbs, licorice and a hint of candied rose on the assertively perfumed nose. Gently chewy and precise on the palate, offering sweet cherry and black raspberry flavors that reveal hints of smokiness and baking spices as the wine opens up. Finishes long and sappy, with solid thrust, building tannis and resonating floral pastille and cherry notes.” 92 Pts Vinous $58.99/btl

Lodge Blacklock Restock Lodge Cast Iron cookware has been a staple in American kitchens for more than 120 years. Introduced by Lodge in 2019, Blacklock series cookware boasts all of the traditional benefits of cast iron – durability, versatility, superior heat-retention – but weighs 25% less! We also love that the pans come triple seasoned, so their cooking surface is naturally nonstick from the first use, and it will only get better over time.
Cachalot Notably creamy and buttery with dense, toothsome paste that crumbles beautifully. Aged, cow’s milk cheese from Connecticut. $29.99/lb
Clos I Terrasses Laurel Priorat ’19 The 2019 Laurel is quite closed and shows serious and shy. It’s made with all the grapes that are not used for Clos Erasmus—young vines, the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon (no more than 5%), mostly Garnacha and some 15% Syrah. The wine matured mostly in 2,000-liter oak vats, concrete and some barrels (she’s abandoning the tinaja). It’s 15% alcohol but has very good freshness. The wine is round and powerful but very harmonious and with good freshness. It’s medium to full-bodied and nicely textured, with abundant, glossy tannins and fantastic balance. This is both powerful and elegant. It slowly opens up in the glass to ripe berries, spice and herbs and a touch of smoke. 18,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021. Drink 2024-2034.”
