Wine Access weekly wine roundup

The Weekly NDA WINES MEMBER FAVORITES WINE LISTS There's a certain November feeling—the holiday table starting to take shape, the cellar looking a little thin—and this week covers both. Caymus returns in a one-liter bottle from a blockbuster vintage, made for tables that go long into the evening. And if you want something more unexpected alongside it: Graci's Muganazzi, the Etna white that Gaja went looking for when he wanted a Sicilian partner.
