Antonio Galloni, November 4, 2026
It was the 1964. That’s the wine that did it. I had tasted Ygrec before, but only sporadically. A bottle of the 1964 at a recent Vinous event really opened my eyes to how Ygrec ages. The 2000 and 2023 that followed in that evening’s program were just as arresting, in different ways. I was completely blown away. A few months ago, I visited Yquem to learn more and taste through a wide collection of vintages. That tasting reinforced my view that Ygrec is one of the world’s greatest and most singular white wines.

Vinous Favorites
Bodega Alvear Pedro Ximénez Fino, 91 points
The NV Pedro Ximénez Fino from the Sierra de Montilla has an average age of seven years. Expressive aromas of dried fruit, almonds, cashews and fresh bread open first. Bone dry, with a slightly oily texture that adds breadth without weight, the Fino is savory and characterful. Lot: 6112. (JH)

2006 Frog's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford
Antonio Galloni, October 2026
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, the top bottling at Frog's Leap during this era, is a total stunner. At 20 years of age, it is very young, almost shockingly so.
