Samantha Hohl, certified sommelier, and Robert Tas head downtown to Salem, Massachusetts where they review the wine list at Ledger. This restaurant is located in a beautiful building (circa 1818) and the menu includes traditional 19th-century dishes, cocktails, and techniques. The wine director has brought in wine from all over the world to provide an interesting list of old and new world wines. Sam identifies the special bottles on the list, and from bubbles to pair with fresh oysters to a bold red to pair with duck, Sam finds the wines to complement the dish.

Wines reviewed include:

  • 2018 Domaine Piccard Daley-Lavaux “Grand Cru Villette”, France
  • 2021 Abbazia di Novacella, Italy
  • 2016 Yves Gangloff Condrieu, France
