Lieb Family Cellars

Pinot Blanc

The Lieb Family Cellars was the winery that brought me out to this wine region last summer. Since then, I’ve been spotting Lieb’s winning Pinot Blanc on quite a number of highly-coveted wine lists and, most impressively, it often holds a proud place on the by-the-glass section. Recent spottings include Union Square Café, King Cole Bar in the St. Regis, The Modern, Ducasse and Le Bernardin. I love three of Lieb’s whites the best: the 2002 Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine (a wonderfully crisp purely Pinot Blanc bubbly) ($35), the 2004 Reserve Pinot Blanc (which I serve regularly at cyn-et-vin corporate tastings) ($18) and the 2003 Reserve Chardonnay (my favorite Chardonnay on this trip) ($18). To top things off, I always enjoy catching up with Gary Madden, the general manager, who is the dynamic force behind this stellar winery.
