    1982 PolRoger Brut Cuvée Sir Winston ChurchillBY NEAL MARTIN | FEBRUARY 12, 2024Ourgreatest Prime Minister, after Liz Truss, had impeccable taste in Champagne.

    BY NEAL MARTIN | JANUARY 22, 2024Last year was such a treasure trove of amazing bottles that I completely forgot a dinner in February that finished with a pair of outstanding wines from Jean-Louis Chave.

    2016 DomaineJ-F Mugnier Musigny Vieilles VignesBY NEAL MARTIN | DECEMBER 04, 2023FrédéricMugnier caused a few ripples when, tired of witnessing his Grand Crus martyrednot long after bottling in restaurants around Beaune, he decided to withholdhis Musigny Vieilles Vignes until he deemed it had several years’ bottle age. Iwish more growers would follow his lead. The latest to be released is the 2016Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru.
