Sommelier's Picks

View: Sort results:
Janet Sauser, our resident sommelier, tastes hundreds of wines every week and selects only a few to include in the limited display space we have in our store. Janet's philosophy is "I don't buy any wine I wouldn't drink myself." She buys for herself only wines that she "loves". Of the hundreds of wines that she tastes, darn few get the "loves, loves, loves" descriptor. While we have them in stock, these "3 love" wines will be listed here as sommelier's picks. Try a few and see if your palate aligns with Janet's. If it does, we have a match made in heaven and you should check here first when shopping with Laurelhurst Wine Merchants.
Are you ready for a wild ride? This wine comes from a category of wines popularly known as ‘orange wines’ and is a super-cool geek wine for sure! It is a white wine, but the category gets its name from the deep coloration that comes from extended skin contact. While ...

Let me tell you, if Chardonnay tasted like this more often, there wouldn’t be so many ABC drinkers out there! This is aromatic and layered with toffee, pear butter, apple, and candied hazelnut with a lovely suggestion of white peach. It is elegant and mouthfilling with an underlying, stony minerality. ... more

Aubrys make a strong case for taking Meunier seriously, and this wine stands with the Non Vintage from Jose Michel, Gaston Chiquet and René Geoffroy as the finest "basic" Meunier Champagnes I know. Meunier is resistant to frost and thus it's often planted in marginal vineyards and therefore despised! Treat ... more

This wine is like a walk in the spring. It's reminiscent of the coolness of fresh air and a bouquet of white flowers, (roses, jasmine, etc.), fennel, apricots and forest, all wrapped in a sweet atmosphere full of freshness. more

A fantastic vintage for this wine, ripe creamy but totally dry and sooooo food friendly with white meat dishes, pasta and mushroom based dishes such as rizotto. A wine that will still improve for years, building up its length and complexity for easily another 5 years. more

Nice, even colour with purple highlights. Very expressive on the nose with notes of blackberry, raspberry and red currant. Nutmeg with a hint of salt comes through after aeration. The wine is big and delicious on entry. We again detect blackcurrants blackberries and red currants with spicy notes and cinnamon. ... more

If you love minerality in your wines, this is one to fall head over heels for. It speaks of ripe, crunchy apple and pear, herbs and white flowers all filtered through a ‘crunchy’ stony/chalky mineral note with a hint of mouthwatering salinity. Think of it as Chardonnay ‘on the rocks’ ... more
