The Friday List - 10/17/2025

Given that we’re deep into October, it felt like the perfect time to borrow a bit of baseball energy, minus the usual dugout chatter. Today’s lineup of ace producers is a testament to the extraordinary cellars we’re able to scout from, each bottle backed by impeccable provenance. Every wine is already here in the U.S. (no tariffs!), ready to ship, send to storage, or seamlessly transfer to your UOVO account.

This Friday List is nothing short of outstanding: a star-studded roster of benchmark producers and blue-chip bottles, all sourced from top-tier cellars with provenance to match. We kick things off with a thrilling range of DRC, all from the same owner. Headlined by duos of rare Corton-Charlemagne and near-perfect La Tâche, this is the best DRC lineup we’ve seen all year.

A diverse mix of grands crus from Dujac, Lamarche, Lambrays, and Ponsot rounds out this all-star Burgundy team – just take a look at those Burghound stats. Other can’t-miss heavy-hitters include Dom’s stunning 1996 Oenothèque; rare 2001 Leroy Clos de la Roche; Hudelot’s high-potential 2022 Romanée-St-Vivant; and MVP 100-pointers like 2005 La Mission Haut-Brion, 2022 DRC Romanée-St-Vivant, 2013 Egly-Ouriet, and the Cal Raleigh of the Friday List: an awe-inspiring 6-liter of 2005 Cheval-Blanc.

And finally, deep in the 9th, Vatan’s Clos Neore Sancerre takes the mound as your lights-out closer: cool, precise, and with fewer than 4,000 bottles produced, every appearance is legendary.
