Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon Estate: 1983-2014

Philip Togni’s long, distinguished career stretches across eight decades, during which he has turned out some of the most brilliant wines in Napa Valley. This unforgettable vertical tasting and dinner at Union Square Café surveyed a vast number of vintages all the way back to 1983, Togni’s debut from his estate vineyard on Spring Mountain. The audience, which included several fellow winemakers who traveled to New York for this tasting and many consumers with deep cellars, left no doubt as to where Togni stands among the greatest estates in Napa Valley and the world.

La Pagode de Cos & Restaurant Le Gabriel

Michel Reybier’s La Réserve is home to several restaurants. The three-Michelin-star Le Gabriel is the hotel’s signature destination restaurant, while La Pagode de Cos offers a more informal environment. I recently enjoyed exceptional meals at both.

2024 Haden Fig Chardonnay Willamette Valley

2024 Haden Fig Chardonnay Willamette Valley, 92 points

The charming 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley evolves in the glass with notes of sweet smoke, stone dust and golden apple. It’s soft-textured and pliant, with a distinctly salty core and a tinge of sour citrus that pinches at the cheeks. Minty tones fade through the long, fresh finale. (EG)
