Seaglass 2025 Pinot Grigio, Central Coast ($13)

Minerality and lime zest sit atop the tongue for a delicate, light-bodied and ethereal white.

Seaglass 2025 Rosé, Central Coast ($13)

Tart cherries, dried rose petals, and watermelon are tied to a brisk acidity, finishing with a salty minerality.

89

Seaglass 2025 Sauvignon Blanc, Central Coast ($13)

Salinity envelops green apple, grapefruit zest, and a garden of Italian herbs. Acidity remains bright with a zesty finish.

92

Sean Minor 2024 Signature Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast ($28)

Dashed with white pepper and leather, raspberry, blueberry, and cherry tumble from the vivacious nose to the smooth palate, where they’re balanced just so by pine needle and dried bitter-orange rind.

Sean Minor Invited 2025 Denmark Street Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley ($44)

Fermented with native yeast in amphorae (70%) and stainless steel (30%), this vintage is a bit more quietly alluring than the 2024 we tasted. The fragrance of guava and pineapple, accented by a sprig of basil, gives way gradually to flavors of orchard fruit—peach and pear—within a silky body punctuated by brûléed grapefruit.

92

Staete Landt 2024 Annabel Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand ($25)

Striking notes of dried herbs, grapefruit zest, star fruit, white tea flowers light up in the glass. Salinity runs deep, searing into a vivid tangerine finish.

89

Steinbock NV Riesling, Brut Zero, Mosel, Germany ($16)

Sourced from vineyards in the Mosel, this nonalcoholic bubbly has verve. Dominant notes of lemon-lime and white flowers are supplemented by green melon and pineapple, and there’s a refreshing energy to the mouthfeel.
