Historically, Champagne has been produced by big houses who buy grapes from across the region to produce a consistent, but homogeneous product. This blurs the fact that Champagne is as diverse and compelling as any wine region on earth. This selection celebrates Champagne as true wine. These are not sweeping blends, but instead come from specific places. Their beauty is that they allow us to view Champagne from the perspective of terroir. Gaston Chiquet Blanc de Blancs Brut d’Ay | 135 Among the greatest of all grower-producers, Chiquet was the first to stop selling their grapes. This Chardonnay comes from a Grand-Cru rated village for Pinot noir—and it shows in weight and richness. The truest expression of terrior in Champagne. Chartogne-Taillet Cuvée St. Anne Brut – Merfy | 110 One of Champagne’s rising stars. Perfection: chalky and gently perfumed. It’s not about the fruit, but about the flow of heavenly juice across the palate. Pierre Peters Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs – Mensil-sur-Oger Crystalline precision: the very best of NV blanc de blancs. From the same Grand Cru vineyards as Krug and Salon, this wine offers the purest expression of Chardonnay in Champagne. | 150 ATRIA WINE / SUMMER Right now is the single best time in history to drink wine. Great wine is plentiful, offering an unprecedented level of pleasure. Our list is designed to celebrate this. But amidst so much quality, the task becomes seeking out the truly distinctive. For us, this means delicious, soulful wines that express their origins with clarity, vitality, and grace. —Sam Decker, sommelier BY THE GLASS BUBBLES BY THE GLASS brut brut rosé brut ROSÉ BY THE GLASS pinot noir pinot noir grenache touriga nacional WHITE BY THE GLASS sauvignon blanc sauvignon blanc chardonnay chardonnay chardonnay torrontes grüner veltliner riesling pinot grigio RED BY THE GLASS 5 oz. pour Dibon Cava Reserva Organic – Penedés, Spain | 10 Leduc-Frouin Cremant de Loire – Loire Valley, France | Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin – Champagne, France | 18 16 6 oz. pour Villa Wolf Rosé ’13 – Pfaltz, Germany | 11 Copain Tous Ensemble Rosé ’13 – Anderson Valley, California Pomponette Rosé ’13 – Coteaux D’Aix en Provence, France | Arnot-Roberts Rosé ’13 – Clear Lake, California | 20 6 oz. pour Craggy Range Te Muna ‘13 – Martinborough, New Zealand | 13 Illumination by Quintessa ’12 – Napa Valley, California | 18 Domaine Bergon Grain D’Automne ‘12 – Languedoc, France | 12 Duckhorn Migration ’12 – Russian River Valley, California | 14 Cakebread ’12 – Napa Valley, California | 23 Loca Linda ‘11 – La Rioja, Argentina | 9 Loimer Lois ’13 – Kamptal, Austria | 10 Pewsey Vale ‘13 – Eden Valley, Australia | 11 St. Michael-Eppan ’13 – Alto Adige, Italy | 12 6 oz. pour pinot noir Laetitia Estate ’12 – Arroyo Grande, California pinot noir O.P.P. ’11 – Willamette Valley, Oregon | 15 Belle Glos Dairyman ’12 – Russian River Valley, California pinot noir grenache, syrah, mourvedre cabernet sauvignon cabernet sauvignon cabernet sauvignon nebbiolo zinfandel SHERRY BY THE GLASS The briny tang of this crisp wine from the Spanish seaside meets the metallic zing of the chilled oyster like old friends – which, after all, they are. | 14 16 | 13 | 20 Margerum M5 ’11 – Santa Barbara County, California | 15 Freakshow by Michael David Winery ’12 – Lodi, California | Broadside Margarita Vineyard ’12 – Paso Robles, California Duckhorn ’11 – Napa Valley, California | 20 Vietti Perbacco ’11 – Langhe, Piedmont, Italy | 16 Ridge Three Valleys ‘11 – Sonoma Coast, California 12 | 14 | 17 5 oz. pour Emilio Lustau Papirusa Manzanilla – Sanlücar de Barrameda, Spain | 8 WHITE WINES BY THE BOTTLE NEW-WORLD SAUVIGNON BLANC of citrus fruits and acidity make these wines among the world’s best for food pairing.
