Nonino Quintessentia Amaro

Have you been wanting to get into amaro but are a little overwhelmed and don't know where to start? Amaro Nonino is a perfect step one. Made from a base of grappa and infused with alpine herbs and botanicals, it's a less aggressively sweet, syrupy, and bitter style of amaro. With herbal and orange notes, it's smooth and sweet upfront and finishes mildly and pleasantly bitter. Excellent as either an aperitif or a digestif, serve it on the rocks, add it to some seltzer with a splash of grapefruit juice, or with sweet vermouth and an orange peel.

Andrew Januik 'Southern Sojourn' Malbec Blend

Southern Sojourn is a name that points away from home, and the wine inside is Malbec, a variety that originated in southwest France around Cahors before its modern scale and reputation were built in South America. Andrew Januik bottled this one from the 2018 harvest, identified by grape and cuvee name rather than by a vineyard.

Funckenhausen Malbec/Riesling

A new project featuring cofermented varietals produced in small batches from estate fruit. This wine is a reflection of Funckenhausen’s identity, as it combines Argentine Malbec with Riesling, a grape with origins in the Funcke family’s native Germany. On the nose the wine displays notes of ripe blackberries and plums, subtle spiciness and a delicate floral nuance added by the Riesling. On the palate it has a rich and bold structure featuring smooth and well integrated tannins leading to a lively and long finish highlighted by crisp acidity. 94% Malbec, 6% Riesling

Canopus 'La Nave' Malbec Sin Sulfitos

Gabriel Dvoskin founded Canopus in 2010 upon returning to Argentina after travelling the world as a journalist and working harvests in Burgundy and Friuli. After some searching, he found what he was looking for in the southern Uco valley: a cool vineyard site at 900-1050m elevation, with calcareous soils, suited to organic and biodynamic agriculture. The project acquired organic certification in the mid-2010s and is currently pursuing biodynamic certification. In the cellar, Gabriel employs only neutral vessels: primarily concrete, but also used barrels, and amphorae from tinajero Juan Padilla in Spain. He almost always includes some portion of the stems during fermentation, making some wines 100% whole cluster, but more commonly employing tea-like infusions of whole-cluster bunches in destemmed juice. But the goal is always to reflect the place and to translate the character of his carefully farmed fruit without excessive embellishment in the cellar – to make wines of terroir, rather than wines of technique.

Ricardo Santos Semillion

While Ricardo Santos has built a reputation on Malbec, he has always desired to make a crisp, fruity white wine to pair with simple, classic foods. Recently, he was inspired by the Semillon grapes that his friend and neighbor Roberto Azzareto grows on his 70-year-old vineyard. The wine has an intense yellow color with delicate, fruity aromas. The flavor is grassy accompanied by a fruity acidity without the addition of oak.

Alma 4 Blanc de Blancs

This sparkling wine is 100% Chardonnay made in Methode Tradicional from two separate vineyards high up in the Uco Valley. The wine shows toasty notes of brioche on the nose with hints of white flowers and lemon peel. The wine is crisp with touches of green Apple on the palate that leads to a creamy, almond croissant finish.

Canopus 'Pintom' Pinot Noir Pet Nat

100% Pinot Noir organically cultivated high in the Andes in the Uco Valley of Argentina. Grapes are hand-harvested, macerate for several hours prior to pressing.

Australia

Ashton Hills Picadilly Valley Pinot Noir

The Adelaide Hills is Australia’s most vibrant cool climate wine region and it is acknowledged internationally for its distinctive premium wines, viticulture and stunning scenery. The region is located in the Mount Lofty Ranges east of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. Stretching in a narrow band approximately 70km long, the highest vineyards are sited between 600-650 metres altitude around the sub region of Piccadilly which Ashton Hills calls home. The Adelaide Hills are universally acknowledged for their distinctive cool climate wines, viticulture and scenery. Nestled in the Piccadilly Valley, the Ashton Hills vineyard is climatically different to the rest of the Hills, being significantly colder and wetter. At one of the highest altitudes in the Adelaide Hills the vines shudder through some of the coolest vintage conditions in the country, with rainfall a whopping 1200mm a year, well over double that of the Barossa Valley. So whether it’s the lifted perfumes and elegant structure of the pinot noir or the crisp purity of the riesling, Piccadilly Valley’s bona-fide cool-climate imprint is a feature of the wines.

BK Gower Pinot Noir

A very high toned style of Pinot! What does high toned mean, you ask? Sort of the sensation that the fruit qualities seem very vibrant, lively, on the tip of your tongue, fresh without being tart. Great energy and levity in this Down Under Pinot!

Dalrymple Pinot Noir

Been to Tasmania? We haven't either. But this Pinot might be the next best thing. Beautiful, expressive fruit. Very Medium bodied, but not shy on flavor.

S.C Pannell Basso Grenache

Basso is an early-release, low-sulfur, unfiltered Grenache that highlights Stephen Pannell’s experimental side. Named after the Latin Bassus (low), it reflects its origins in the sandy Little Branch Vineyard of Blewitt Springs. The second year of La Niña, 2022 brought a wild, wet start, a mild summer, and a slow, dry ripening period. Poor spring weather caused low yields, but the extended ripening delivered reds with depth and complex tannins.
$26.00

Vasse Felix Chardonnay

What a release from a warm vintage. Aromas of lemon confit, white flowers, nectarines and flint with white peaches and a touch of spice and cookies. The medium-bodied palate is textural and generous yet balanced with fresh acidity and some structure from phenolic grip. Wild-fermented in old barriques.
$46.00

Hentley Farm Riesling

Howard Park 'Miamup' Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Primary fruit aromas of fresh and lightly poached citrus are gently spiced with vanilla bean and perfumed with lemon myrtle and black currant. The palate’s meld of many fruit flavours is enriched with a lemon curd richness and textured with a lime zest and chalk like minerality to finish.
$22.00

Yalumba Roussanne

Still one of the few single Roussanne bottlings in Australia. Sourced primarily from a single vineyard next door to the Yalumba winery (along with another Angaston vineyard an another in the high Eden). Part of the ‘Samuel’s Collection’ of mid tier wines. Wild ferment. Fermentation and maturation for 10 months in old French oak barriques. Vegan friendly. Mid lemon hue. Stone fruit slices over rock salt, chamomile yellow and white flowers, butter just out of the fridge, lemon juice, short crust pastry and wax paper roll. Textural and carrying a peppery spice over a slightly waxy and tart palate. The waxy phenolic weight gives some bass notes, while the salty/brininess is like a Margarita glass rim. Neatly balanced, and with that cool freshness would easily handle a plate of roast pork & crackling or KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) or a cauliflower dish (bake or soup).
$33.00

Tournon 'Mathilda' Viognier/Marsanne

Seeking excellence in the land Down Under, in 2009 Michel Chapoutier bought two new vineyards (Shays Flat Estate and Landsborough Valley Estate) in the Victorian Pyrenees to set up the fully owned label, Tournon. A southern extension of the Great Dividing Range, The Pyrenees foothills and ranges create a remarkable diversity of microclimates and soils that provide wealth of variety for winemakers. The cool weather patterns and unique soil in this region are an ideal place for the development of Chapoutier's biodynamic winegrowing philosophy, and of extending Rhône traditions.
$18.00

Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon

The grapes for this wine are grown on a small selection of sites, most being around the Margaret River’s flagship Wilyabrup sub-region, close to the Indian Ocean. The soil types, either sandy or laterite gravel soils, both restrict vine yields. There are a range of aspects and soil types through our vineyard sites, and these variances and selective blending provide Ringbolt with much of its complexity. ----------> Tasting Notes: A bold crimson red in color with magenta hues. The nose has rich aromas of violets, black cherries and mulberries with hints of cassis and forest-floor characters. The wine opens with the pretty floral characters of the nose and a rich blackberry edge before progressing to the mocha oak mid palate and finishing with succulent tannins that continue the experience long after the wine has left your mouth.

Weininger Ried Ulm 1 OTW Nussberg Gesmichter Satz

The "Ulm" vineyard is a monopole site on the Nußberg hill, right next to the Danube, extremely steep and with extremely calcareous soil. Nine different grape varieties grow here in a vibrant mix, wonderfully expressing the terroir of this site. A wine with character. Perfect with roast beef with onions.
$35.00

Veyder-Malberg 'Liebedich' Gruner Veltliner 1500 mL

Peter Veyder-Malberg works his Wachau vineyards with rebellious independence and organic discipline, crafting Liebedich ("Love You") from multiple small, terraced sites too precious for individual bottlings. This crystalline white draws from old-vine gneiss parcels—Bruck, Schön, Buschenberg, Hochrain, and Loibenberg—each contributing their mineral voice. Aromas of pear, green apple, and kiwi give way to white pepper and hints of white chocolate. At 12.5% alcohol and bone-dry, this is elemental Austrian vitality in a glass.
$90.00

Wohlmuth 'Ried Steinriegel' Gelber Muskateller

Steinriegl is a very steep (up to 78% inclination), high altitude, top single vineyard that is facing south-southwest. It produces highly flavor-intense wines with pronounced minerality. This vineyard was referred to as one of the best single-vineyards of Styria for centuries. Since vintage 2018, this very special single vineyard is classified as STK Premier Cru (high quality designation). It’s soils are phyllite red slate with quartz inclusion. The winemaking takes place very late. The grapes are selectively hand picked. There is a short maceration period and they are then gently, very slowly, pressed. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in big old wooden casks and continues for 11 months on yeast.

Stadlmann Gruner Veltliner

$24.00

Mantlerhof Gruner Veltliner

This grape variety is the specialty of Austria. It has the largest share with about half of the vineyards in both the Kremstal and Mantlerhof. The variety brings interesting and independent wine qualities in both late (“bad”) and early (“good”) locations. It was therefore planted at the Mantlerhof on the plateau (Weitgasse) and in good terrace locations (Moosburgerin, Spiegel) and on the slope toe. Almost all of the Grüner Veltliner go back to the selection work of Josef Mantler (1910-1987). Technically they are a mass selection and not clones. In some vineyards clippings of the companies Aigner, Bogner, Edlinger and Knoll are planted. Grüner Veltliner in its different styles matches with a multitude of dishes. That’s why it makes it so popular. One reason is the fruit which does not go too much in one direction. The ideal for Mantlerhof is a distinct classic spiciness. Another reason for its popularity is the moderate acid, which is neither too low nor too aggressive. Residual sugar does not fit so well with Grüner Veltliner.
$21.00

Sattlerhof Sauvignon Blanc

The Sattler family has been in the wine business in the village of Gamlitz, Austria, since the late 1880s. The family has a long tradition of quality and innovation, with Wilhelm Sattler Senior and his wife Aloisia laying the foundation for success beginning in the 1960s. Today the two Sattler brothers, Willi and Hannes, are leading the estate with the new generation by their side. The Sattlerhof winery is now responsible for 40 hectares (99 acres) of organically farmed vines in some of the region’s most famous vineyards, including “grand crus” Kranachberg and Pfarrweingarten. The family places great value on working closely with nature to produce their wines, caring for sustainable soil management and longevity of the vines; their vineyards are a complex, balanced habitat, and the preservation of biodiversity is a central focus.
$21.00

Leth Roter Veltliner Klassik

Weingut Leth, a family estate in Fels am Wagram founded in the early 1960s, has been guided by three generations of the Leth family with a shared focus on expressing the character of their region. Members of Traditionsweingüter Österreich, the family farms sustainably and organically, working loess-rich hillside vineyards ideal for their grapes. These deep, windblown soils—layered with clay, sand, and limestone—allow vines to root deeply, drawing complexity and balance from the land while benefiting from the region’s wide day-night temperature swings. This Roter Veltliner comes from terraced loess vineyards and is hand-harvested with strict selection, seeing brief skin contact before fermenting in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness. The wine opens with subtle aromas of red apple and sweet melon, followed by a juicy mix of tropical fruit on the palate, framed by bright acidity and a gentle touch of sweetness. A creamy spice note carries through the finish, making this a polished, expressive example of Wagram’s signature grape
$21.00

Ebner Ebenauer 'Hermanschachem' Gruner Veltliner

The history of viticulture in Poysdorf began some 800 years ago on the steep south-facing slopes of Ried Hermanschachern; the warm loess soils with their extremely high limestone content provide the basis for this authentic white-peppery, salty and finely mineralic Grüner Veltliner. Vinification/élevage Elegance and dynamic tension hold the foreground in this wine; which we harvest mainly at Spätlese levels of ripeness, although the grapes could actually mature further. However, minerality is the objective and not power. After a short twelve hours of maceration, the wine is pressed and spontaneous fermentation ensues. The wine spends six months on the fine lees, is then filtered and matured in stainless steel until the end of May.
$39.00

Brundlmayer Gruner Veltliner

Willi has converted some (17ha in total) of his vineyards to the Lyre training system, which he helped develop. Vines are trained low to the ground, to benefit from the warmth of the primary rock soils, then the canes are trained at an angle upward and perpendicular to the row, which doubles the sunlit and aired foliage surface and improves grape ripeness. The well-aired leaves also dry faster, thus reducing the risk of dreaded grape mildew. As of 2019, Bründlmayer is certified organic by LACON, an outside, objective, certifying body. During harvest, multiple selections through the vineyard are made, as botrytis is never accepted. Grapes are never de-stemmed or crushed, and they are handled as minimally as possible. A tiny portion of grapes are held back, de-stemmed, and macerated for 12 hours; Willi uses these as ‘seasoning’ during blending to add another dimension and tonality to the final wines.

Malat Ried Gottschelle 1OTW Gruner 2009

Ninth-generation winegrower, Michael Malat took the lead from his father, Gerald, at their Kremstal winery that dates to 1722. One of Austria’s prime Grüner Veltliner and Riesling regions, Kremstal is a climatic tug-of-war between eastern Pannonian warm winds and cold western Alpine air. It’s home to a great diversity of soil types on large terraces, from loess (wind-blown calcareous fine sands), gravels and various rock formations of limestone, crystalline, mica-schist and granulite. Most of their classic range is raised in ancient 50-100ha wooden vats, lending a unique flavor profile and rounded quality to their finely etched wines. Malat is also historically connected to some small-grower Austrian sparkling wines and is often considered to be the country’s top Sekt producer.

Muthenthaler 'Dreivierteltakt' Riesling

FX Pichler 'Ried Burgstall' Federspiel Riesling

Though his Gruner Veltliners may be the real revelation, but his highly concentrated Rieslings and his Sauvignon blanc are equally famous and will age very happily for many years, if not decades. Pichler shares a distrust of very reductive vinification and high technology with other Wachau growers, believing that these would make his wines too uniform. He ferments them in large wooden barrels and leaves them there for about six months. Industrial yeasts are only used for the first consignment of must; after that, natural yeasts take over.
$51.00

Rudi Pichler 'Kollmutz' Smaragd Gruner Veltliner

Rudi Pichler is among the elite growers of the Wachau producing wines of precision, power, and longevity. The cellar is based in the village of Wösendorf where generations of Pichlers have tended vines since 1731. Rudolph Pichler, III took over the winery in 1997 and has since expanded the vineyards and constructed a modern cellar in 2004. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling make up 95% of the production with the remaining 5% shared between Weißburgunder and Roter Veltliner. Rudi Pichler belongs to the prestigious Vinea Wachau and vinifies under the strict parameters of their codex. He was awarded Falstaff’s Vintner of the Year in 2010.
$70.00

Prager 'Achleiten' Smaragd Gruner Veltliner

Franz Prager, co-founder of the Vinea Wachau, had already earned a reputation for his wines when Toni Bodenstein married into the family. Bodenstein’s passion for biodiversity and old terraces, coupled with brilliant winemaking, places Prager in the highest echelon of Austrian producers. Smaragd is a designation of ripeness for dry wines used exclusively by members of the Vinea Wachau. The wines must have a minimum alcohol of 12.5%. The grapes are hand-harvested, typically in October and November, and are sent directly to press where they spontaneously ferment in stainless-steel tanks. Achleiten sits east of Weißenkirchen and is one of the most famous vineyards in the Wachau. The steeply-terraced vineyard existed in Roman times. Some sections have just 40 cm of topsoil over the bedrock of Gföler Gneiss, amphibolitic stone, and slate. “Destroyed soil,” as Toni Bodenstein likes to say.
$87.00

Biokult Pinot/Zweigelt

Despite already being exceptionally popular, he still retains some hidden qualities, which makes him even more interesting. His dream is to one day become an acclaimed world star.
$93.00

Malat Ried Satzen Pinot Noir 2017

Pure, ripe red cherry notes are almost fleshy on the nose. The palate is wonderfully bright and fresh and captures that cherry at the perfect juncture of juiciness, tartness and ripeness. Fine tannins have a lovely, still slightly fuzzy grip that will become a fine backbone with a little bottle age. Lovely elegance and freshness, as well as finely judged oak are its hallmarks.

Salomon Undhof 'Ried Kogel' 1OTW

Founded in 1792 Salomon Undhof is a wine estate with a long tradition. The Salomon family own 20 hectares of vineyards which are planted with equal amounts of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner as well as a tiny amount of Gelber Traminer on the best terraced sites along the Danube River in Stein and Krems. Today, seventh generation Dr Bert Salomon and his wife Gertrud are the custodians of almost 230 years of winemaking history. ---------> Matching each grape variety with the right soil and climate has always been the main focus of Salomon’s viticultural efforts. Loess soils offer optimum conditions for the Grüner Veltliner planted on the Lindberg Erste Lage site, while the urgestein (primary rock) soils in the Erste Lage vineyards of Kögl and Pfaffenberg are ideally suited to Riesling. These are the same soils as those of the Wachau, which borders Stein to the west. ---------> All the grapes are harvested traditionally by hand only. These great vineyard locations coupled with meticulous work in both the vineyards and the winery result in a range of wines with great power and complexity, yet with lovely finesse and a striking mineral personality.

Banknote 'The Vault' Red Blend

Aromas of wild berries, red currant, and black cherry are spiced with cassis, cedary oak and a touch of clove. The rich, smooth palate follows with a dense core of ripe blackberry, cherry preserves, vanilla, and espresso. The long, persistent finish and mellow tannins make this wine extremely versatile in food.

Packed with black fruit, mint and notes of fresh turned soil. Incense and iodine. Texturally this wine is unmatched in the stable of JONATA red wines. It absolutely covers the entire palate with joyous and vibrant dark and dense fruit. It has to be tasted to be believed. It saturates with the power of its fruit, but then remains buoyant and lifted by freshness and energy. It is naturally rich, but never over the top or flamboyant. Notes of graphite, dark chocolate and espresso bean. It finishes up with lift and vibrancy, forgiving tannins and dusty black fruit. In 2020, the Merlot again makes a strong claim to be the finest red grape on the property. At 96% Merlot, this is its loudest statement to date. --------> Blend: 96% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon

Scythian Palomino

The Scythians White 100% Palomino from the Lopez Vineyard, planted in 1912 on sandy granite soil. The grapes are hand-harvested, direct pressed and fermented in neutral barrels.

$38.00

Scythian 'Misturado de Cucamonga' Red Blend

Misturado is a blend that's half Zinfandel, a third Palomino, and a fifth Alicante Bouschet. The Palomino and Zinfandel are hand-picked from the Lopez Vineyard in San Bernardino, while the Alicante is sourced from the Galleano Home Vineyard in Jurupa Valley. Both vineyards grow own-rooted vines, planted back in 1912, and they're dry farmed without any sprays or treatments. The grapes are then hand-harvested and co-fermented, whole cluster, in neutral open-top fermenters, before they're aged in a big ol' 1000L foudre. It's all bottled up without any fining, filtering, or additional sulfur.

Joyce Chardonnay

Clean aromas of apple, ripe melon and almost-sweet cucumber converge on the nose of this wine. The palate shows immediate acidity and holds firm with a long-lasting texture, framing white flower, Asian pear and citrus pith flavors.

Ojai 'Brick Barn' Viognier

This 2023 Brick Barn Viognier is our first from this vineyard, which is just west of Buellton outside the Sta. Rita Hills (so a relatively cool spot for Viognier). It’s a different animal than the Roll Ranch Viognier we’ve produced for decades. Roll Ranch is always fun to blind taste—“I’m sorta getting Viognier, but…” This wine leaps out of the glass to say “Hello, my name is Viognier.” That said, it stops well shy of Viognier’s potential for blousy excess. There’s a fresh and airy quality that speaks to Santa Barbara County’s cooler climates. Still, there’s all the aromatic intensity you can expect: an effusive perfume of fresh melons with honeysuckle, white peach, and mangosteen. The palate kicks off with a sweet-tang blast of white raspberries and rich lychee, plus zesty lime and a sneaky thread of blonde honey. There’s no oiliness, but there is a certain roundness and softness that gives the wine an easy-going appeal. It's perfect as a laid-back aperitif, or as a partner to intensely flavored dishes like a proper Moroccan tagine, tonkatsu ramen, or jambalaya.

Gros Ventre Vermentino

The 2023 Gros Ventre Vermentino from California's high-elevation El Dorado AVA is as crisp and refreshing as it gets. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in 100% neutral oak, this wine underwent 100% whole cluster fermentation and is bursting with stone fruit flavors and lipsmacking acidity. This is a great wine to pair with lighter fare or to enjoy on its own. Gros Ventre winemaker, Chris Pittenger, has the kind of pedigree that should attract any kind of wine enthusiast to try, and ultimately fall in love with, his wines. Heading the winemaking at classic projects like Skinner Vineyards and Limerick Lane helped establish Chris in his place as a bit of a “whisperer” to grapes like Zinfandel and vineyards near Skinner’s outpost in the Sierra Foothills. Of course, he’s also shown a tremendous touch with Pinot Noir, sourced from some of the most celebrated sites in Sonoma and Anderson Valley.

Reeve Vermentino/Falanghina

A vibrant and refreshing white wine, the 2023 Reeve Wines Vermentino showcases the coastal terroir of Sonoma County. Pouring a brilliant straw hue, it entices with spritely aromatics of lime blossom, salted pineapple, and white peach. The palate offers a pithy, citrus-driven profile, complemented by a soft, rounded mouthfeel and a savory herbal note of green almond on the finish. This medium-bodied wine is both crisp and clean, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes.

Irene 'Rodnick' Syrah

Irene is a 6-year-old bootstrapped project from thirty-something couple Brian + Katelynn Jessen. Bryan, originally from Monterey County, studied wine business and viticulture/enology at Sonoma State at Santa Rose JC, then worked around Italy, New Zealand, and finally as cellar master at Copain before starting his own project with wife Katelynn. They both still have day jobs (he sells vine cuttings and rootstock to nurseries, she’s an artist), but their passion is Irene, their own label, named in honor of Brian’s mother, who passed away when he was young. Brian makes the wine at a custom crush facility in Healdsburg, and Katelynn paints the labels. Like most upstart Cali producers, they don’t own vineyards, so the biggest challenge is sourcing good, organic fruit. But somehow they managed to pristine Syrah from the certified organic Rodnick Vineyard, a well-regarded highdesert growing site in Monterey County, with that glorious rocky, limestone soil. Here's what they say about the vineyard: "If you were to stumble upon Chalone by accident the last thing you would think to do is plant grapes. This entire area is parched high desert land that in some years has needed water to be trucked in to keep vines alive. Situated in the southern reaches of the Gabilan Mountains of Monterey County this vineyard borders the Pinnacles National Park. The entire area is rocky to say the least; limestone and granite emerge out of the soil in every other vine row you walk. This is what brought us to this site. The Syrah is an old Joseph Phelps clone grafted by Richard Graff himself. Fermented with 2% Viognier and 100% whole cluster, this wine is as structured as the site it came from. Dark fruit and dusty tannins with an energetic nerve that can only come from limestone." As with all of their wines, they pick and bottle earlier for this wine, to maintain freshness and keep things light, while showcasing the incredible rocky volcanic terroir. And they nailed it with this gorgeous, structured Syrah that drinks more Côte-Rôtie than Cali. Clean, light and bright, this baby tastes of wet earth, vibrant red fruit and baking spice, then opens up to reveal more violet, floral notes. She drinks beautifully now but has the legs to age, if you have that kind of discipline.

Holus Bolus Syrah

Peter Hunken got his start in winemaking in 2001 at Stolpman Vineyards and was the Assistant Winemaker there until 2006. In 2003, he partnered with Sashi Moorman to start Piedrasassi (a mash-up of their two names, Peter and Sashi) as well as Holus Bolus, a brand focused on Syrah. During this time he gained experience working with Rhône varieties, as well as Sangiovese, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2004, he met Amy Christine, his future wife, spitting wine over the winery drains in Lompoc. They founded Black Sheep Finds a year later; in 2008, Peter decided to amicably split from Sashi to focus on Holus Bolus, while Piedrasassi went to Moorman. Peter and Amy went on to develop other projects under the umbrella of Black Sheep, with Peter in charge of the winemaking – as well as managing and directly selling the wines in Central and Southern California. 2020 marked his 20th vintage making wine in Santa Barbara County. In 2013, Amy passed the Master of Wine exam and can now call herself one of 24 women in the US to achieve the title. Her dissertation was on U.S. Syrah. In addition to the work she does with the Institute of Masters of Wine, she worked full-time for Kermit Lynch Imports until 2022, when she was left to fully focus on Black Sheep Finds and launch her brand WineSlut. Today, she is fully focused on the vineyard and cellar. Farming/vinification practices: Black Sheep Finds works closely with vineyards they purchase grapes from with acre contracts, in addition to their own vineyard, the Joy Fantastic. Amy and Peter reduced punching downs – previously 3 times a day, now once a day; they are pumping over instead. This is less work, but it still manages the cap and alleviates any volatile acidity (the wine is also blanketed with CO2), while resulting in wines with more elegance. There is less extraction, more finesse, and no bitterness on the finish. All the wines are unfined, and vegan.

Field Recordings 'Chalone' Chenin Blanc

Irene 'Fenaughty' Syrah

Fenaughty sits almost exactly at the same elevation as our estate vineyard, but the soils tell a very different story. Fenaughty carries the volcanic signature of Apple Hill which is why its neighbor is named Lava Cap. Fenaughty Syrah is more delicate with lifted floral aromatics and ripe but never over ripe fruit. Our estate Syrah tends to be firm with ripe fruit and a tannic frame that leans toward brick toned red fruits. The differences are like the famed Brune (brown) and Blonde (blond) hills of France’s Cote Rotie vineyards where one produces richer and the other more elegant wines. Same elevation. Different geology. Different personality.
$35.00

Joyce Syrah

The fruit for this Syrah was harvested from several vineyards surrounding our winery in the Arroyo Seco AVA. This AVA is recognized as having the longest growing season in California. Strong daily winds that bring cool fog from the Monterey Bay allow the grapes to spend more time on the vine building flavor, complexity and acidity. Extremely rocky well-drained alluvial soils are the base for creating wines processing freshness & minerality. The combination of sand, granite, and shale loam soils with the ever present marine influence provide the ideal conditions for growing cool climate Syrah.

Vented Fermentation 'Queens & Boots' Aglianico

Mitchell McMinn works at the winery Field Recordings in Paso Robles. But as a side project, he started his own label, Vented Fermentation. The name came from the idea that when filling or emptying a tank, the tank must be “vented” to prevent an explosion or implosion— similar to a juice box. And for Mitchell, it also is a term that represents “the idea that one should be calm and collected in a cellar, while also remaining creatively open to new ideas.” And Mitchell’s creative idea is to work with Aglianico, and only Aglianico (at least for now). But Mitchell does not make just one wine. He makes three wines from Aglianico. There is the Donkey Wand Rosè of Aglianico and the Because It Must Sparkling Piquette of Aglianico. And in honor of his grandparents, he made the Queen & Boots, a light red wine. Fermented in French oak, the wine has notes of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry. Unlike Italian Aglianico, this California Aglianico is a lighter-bodied red wine with soft tannins and fresh acidity. It is ready to drink and a very approachable.

Wonderwall is the Field Recordings flagship — Andrew Jones's calling-card Pinot Noir, sourced largely from Edna Valley in the cool southern stretch of the Central Coast. Minimal-intervention winemaking, eight months in barrel with just a touch of new oak, and a deliberately light alcohol that keeps everything aerial. Black cherry, wild strawberry, gingerbread spice, a flash of root beer and plum-skin tannin. It's the bottle Jones built his name on, and the one that converts skeptics who thought California Pinot had to be heavy. Bright, lifted, and easy to love.

Our 2022 Kick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc is an arresting wine – the nose features high-toned citrus and tropical fruits overlaid with a touch of reduction and subtle new wood. On the palate, green apple and vibrant mandarin orange harmonize with hints of guava and passionfruit. A delicate herbal undertone adds depth and complexity, while a bit of sappy oak sweetness lends a balancing hand to the electric and zest acidity. As CellarTracker reviews on our 2021 Kick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc have noted, there is superb intensity to the mineral-driven and dense flavors, with a chiseled frame and palate-staining finish. This is a knock-your-socks-off Sauvignon Blanc.

Field Recordings Escolle Pet Nat

Field Recordings is, as winemaker Andrew Jones puts it, a “personal catalog of the people and places he values most”. The winery originally started as his hobby project in 2007 – working for a vine nursery planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California made Jones familiar with a vast array of exciting viticultural sites, and the idea of making a small batch of wine himself quickly came along. “The nursery work is rather quiet during fall so I had some time on my hands… I’d made wine in college, then got to know all these diverse Central Coast vineyards from working with the growers,” Andrew explains how the jigsaw fell into place back then. “It was a good way to connect with my customers and get a deeper understanding of their work – I definitely feel that being a winemaker made me a better nurseryman and vice versa, being a nurseryman made me a better winemaker.”

Scribe Rose Sparkling

Pétillant Naturel roughly translates to “naturally sparkling” and this rustic, ancient method of capturing effervescence in the bottle is a surrender to that natural process. The wine is bottled before primary fermentation is finished – without the addition of secondary yeasts or sugars. The wine completes the fermentation process in the bottle, capturing Co2 and resulting in a lively, terroir-driven sparkling SCRIBE wine.

Carboniste Sparkling Brut Rouge

CARBONISTE is a dedicated producer of modern Californian sparkling wines from husband and wife duo, Dan and Jacqueline Person. Dan spent three years at Schramsberg, staged at D.R.C in 2009, and spent a few years with Dan Petroski at Larkmead; Jacqueline was a longtime and invested consultant for Naked Wines. Together, they embarked on their passion for sparkling wine and produced three flagship items: Sparkling Albariño, Extra Brut Pinot Noir Rosé, and a Pét-Nat Pinot Grigio. In place of an homage to Champagne, CARBONISTE is a proud statement about the beauty of California’s fruit. They found that using the traditional French techniques to make sparkling wine in California didn’t quite work with their fruit. Instead, they tried to think about the best way to express the fresh, fruity flavors of, for example, Sacramento Delta Albariño, in sparkling form. What this means is that they are not a pét-nat, méthode traditionnelle, or méthode ancestrale house – each wine they produce is handled a bit differently depending on the fruit.

Field Recordings 'So Far Out Flood Light Snow' Pet Nat

Flood Light Snow is a new and exciting sparkling wine that is captivating the wine world with its unique flavor profile. This organic sparkling wine is made from a blend of Mondeuse and Clairette Blanche grapes grown in the Santa Barbara County region of California. What sets this wine apart is that it’s not disgorged, meaning that the lees – or the dead yeast cells – are left in the bottle during fermentation, giving the wine a distinct flavor and texture. This also means that the wine is kept on its lees for an extended period, contributing to its electric tasting experience. On the nose, Flood Light Snow exudes fresh and fruity notes of citrus and green apple, with subtle hints of wildflowers. On the palate, the wine is unique, with a delicate, effervescent texture and a rich, complex flavor profile. It’s light and refreshing, with a crisp acidity that lingers in the finish. The combination of organic farming practices and careful winemaking techniques produces a wine that is not only delicious but also environmentally friendly. Flood Light Snow is a perfect wine to enjoy on a warm day or any special occasion. Its unique flavor profile and electric taste are sure to impress even the most discerning of wine enthusiasts.

Colete Merlot

"Colète is a Napa Valley merlot designed by Rajat Parr and Marie Vayron Ponsonnet. They find their inspiration in Pomerol, Merlot’s defining place and where Marie happened to grow up! The best Pomerol Merlots unite disparate characteristics—they are soft, round, and fleshy, yet also textured, structured, and sharp, with deep earthy flavors of plum, dark berries, and mineral. The animating drive behind the Colète project is to find the best terroirs in Napa Valley for Merlot, and to produce high-quality wine from there, restoring honor to a once-fashionable grape that is still bashed today....This wine was born from a friendship between a Pinot Noir lover and a woman raised on Merlot. Rajat and Marie met in 2014 during La Paulée in San Francisco. Marie had just moved to the United States to start her sommelier career in New York and had no inkling how much Rajat would impact her love for wine. Their acquaintance continued to impact Marie’s life, as she discovered Rajat’s Santa Barbara wines - Sandhi and Domaine de La Côte. In 2015, she joined Rajat’s team to work harvest as an intern. It was a life changing experience as she fell in love with California, never expecting to find wines with such terroir, texture, and complexity. Of course, Marie was already familiar with viticulture and winemaking, as she grew up on her family’s vineyard, Château Bourgneuf, in Pomerol, France. Her father and sister, Xavier and Frédérique Vayron, still run the winery and make a classic Pomerol wine—vibrant and balanced, from soils of blue clay with traces of oxidized iron. Marie’s Pomerol origins, combined with a newfound love of California, inspired her to create a Merlot from Napa terroir."

Stolpman L'Avion Roussanne

Stolpman’s Old Vine Roussanne We feel we have a singular opportunity to make opulent, intriguing Roussanne. Our southern location near 34 degrees latitude gives the Roussanne intense sunshine to tan the grapes their namesake “Rousse” or Rust color. Limestone soils and Pacific-influenced cold nights combine to maintain acidity late in the year. Low humidity and high winds keep the grapes clear of mold and for better or worse, we never get significant rainfall through harvest. We can “wait out” the late-ripening grape until it is perfectly golden and concentrated. We take every possible effort in the vineyard to optimize the potential of our Roussanne fruit. In the late summer we pull every leaf away from the fruit to allow for full sun penetration. Then, about a month prior to harvest, when the sun-exposed side of each cluster tans, but the inside of the cluster remains green, every grape cluster is gently hand-rotated 180 degrees to facilitate an even sun-tan. We could not make L’Avion without the focus and determination of our full time crew, La Cuadrilla. The deep golden hue speaks to the viscosity and power of the benchmark 2022 L’Avion. So creamy the oak framework hides undetected in the form of some almost chewable umami. The wine is a dinner course unto itself. Lemon verbena and green apple effortlessly maintain the honeysuckle freshness. This vintage will be a true test of discipline to hold wine for library release in 10-12 years. Upon release, we expect this wine to rival the best in our 21 year history of making L’Avion.

This coastal Pinot is gracefully weighted, with fine, chalky tannins and a refreshing acidity that allows the zippy red fruit core to carry through the persistent finish.

Margins Mourvedre

Margins Wine produces low-intervention wines using grapes from underrepresented regions, vineyards, and varietals. We are part of the growing movement in California to make wines from sustainably farmed vineyards using little to no additives during the winemaking process, thereby showcasing the vineyards the grapes came from. Much like people living on the ‘margins of society,’ vineyards can be outcasts too. Most consumers of wine are only familiar with a handful of grapegrowing regions and types of wine. Margins draws attention to vineyards and varietals throughout northern and central California that find themselves on the margins without the recognition they deserve. Margins Wine is a small winemaking project of Megan Bell, a winemaker living and working in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Prior to settling on the central coast of California, Megan received her BS in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis and apprenticed in wineries and vineyards in Napa, Livermore, the Willamette Valley, Central Otago, and the Loire.

The 2024 Idlewild "Flora & Fauna" Rosé is a co-fermented blend of Piedmontese varieties—predominantly Nebbiolo, Grignolino, Dolcetto, and Barbera. The fruit is sourced from vineyards like Fox Hill in Mendocino and Lost Hills Ranch. The grapes are typically whole-cluster pressed and fermented to capture fresh, bright fruit notes (such as wild strawberry, raspberry, and citrus) without heavy extraction. The wine is aged on the lees in neutral oak to add a textural element without imparting heavy oak flavors. Each grape brings a specific characteristic to the final wine. Nebbiolo and Grignolino contribute a distinct, crunchy minerality and structure, the Dolcetto provides delicate softness, and the Barbera supplies bright, food-friendly acidity.

Groundwork Counoise

Groundwork is more about the wine than the winemaker. Here you will taste organic and sustainably farmed grapes hand harvested from Zeferino (53%), Coquina (37%) & Pomar Junction (11%). Drinking these wines gives you a sense of both place and varietal from the Central Coast. We achieve this through our commitment to minimal intervention from the vineyard to the bottle. In the field no herbicides are used and when pesticides or fungicides are necessary, organic solutions are always chosen. In the cellar, these wines are fermented with native yeasts and post fermentation only minimal sulfur is added. Groundwork Counoise Carbonique is a lighter bodied red wine. It is 100% carbonic macerated and offers notes of cranberry, white pepper, rosewater, rhubarb, and agua de jamaica. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfined & unfiltered

Sans Liege 'The Offering' GSM Blend

Within the refuge of the cottage a fire dances in the wood burning stove while outside a coastal storm rages. The windows show you redwoods and sassafras trees being assailed by rain. You pick up your book to settle in for the afternoon and take in a long breath. Scents of dark cherry, chocolate shavings, and baking spices linger in the air from the morning’s baking project and they meld with the more savory aromas of herbs de provence and white pepper from the kitchen. As you exhale you happily ease into quietude. Blend: 44% Grenache, 36% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre

Vailia From created Desparada to make rich, flowing, deep, expressions of Central Coast wines from some of the region's very best vineyards. Sackcloth & Ashes has always been our favorite here as the deepest, richest, more dense of the set. In 2022, it's 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Petit Verdot, 15% Petit Verdot plus a splash of Cab Franc. Violets and lavender over plummy black fruit and a dollop of milk chocolate really explode from the glass. Vailia's ability to keep all this fruit and flesh feeling fresh and drinkable is astounding.

Birichino 'Lilo' Pinot Noir

On a south-facing slope perched at 300m elevation in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Lilo Vineyard opens to an unobstructed view to the South over the Monterey Bay. Planted a dozen years ago on a complex mix of schist, shale, and sandstone soils, the slope is quite steep, and yields can be stunningly low - 0.99 ton from all 4.5 acres in 2011. Just above the fog line, this is viticulture on the edge of possibility - a site fully exposed to late frosts at bud break and spring rains that can affect flowering and every torment the weather coming off the Pacific can bring. In short, exactly the kind of marginal climate that is called for to coax the layered, subtle perfumed spicy best out of that most fickle of varieties, Pinot Noir.

Martha Stoumen 'Honeymoon' White Blend

Like the poetic tension of a tight chest before taking a big leap, this vintage carries both zippiness and contemplative structure. The rare old vine Colombard—lovingly tended since 1948 with maternal parentage in Chenin Blanc—brings whispers of concentrated white flowers and toasted almonds to the glass. Golden Delicious apple dances with lemon pith brightness, while that signature waxy mouthfeel wraps around subtle Jonagold-like tannins that give this wine its thoughtful backbone. This is a wine that rewards patience: decant it now or simply uncork an hour before serving. Like its lineage suggests, this vintage will deepen and evolve with another year or two of bottle age.

Matthiasson 'Yount Mill" Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier is a classic Champagne grape. Still (non-sparkling) red wine made from it is rare and can make very earthy wine with a beautiful strawberry note when grown in France. What would it taste like in Napa? As lovers of the wonderful diversity of grape varieties we needed to find out. Turns out it is delicious grown here, still earthy but also fruity, even more so than the French versions (surprise, surprise). However, it maintains minerality and that cooling quality that is wonderful about that variety.

Pax Sonoma Coast Syrah

Hundred-point Syrah specialist Pax Mahle has dialed-in an almost impossible-to-imitate style of vivacious, high-toned, low-ABV (12.5%) Syrah that's a delicious ode to the Northern Rhône. Explosive aromatics include Syrah's telltale smoky pepperiness with enough wild herbal qualities to also act as a framed love letter to Loire Valley Cabernet Franc and Spanish Mencia. Crushed blue flowers, green peppercorn, grape stems, blackberry, tea tree oil, olive, iron and crushed stone conspire with fresh thyme, lemon leaf, teriyaki jerky, spruce forest and allspice to create an experience that is wild, savory and invigorating. Pair with lamb kabob, roasted tomatoes and peppers, steak au poivre or black lentils with mint and sesame oil and the combo will be sublime. Amazing value for a Pax Syrah, it's rare for a charismatic, cool-climate, small-batch wine like this to exist for such a good price!

Birichino Malvasia

This brand makes one of the most reliably satisfying Malvasias in the New World. This vintage offers orange blossom and lemon verbena balm aromas on the nose. There's a heavier weight to the palate, where citrus peel and blossom flavors meet with a tinge of herb atop a waxy texture and steadily rising acidity.

Mirabelle plums, lemon grass, green apple candy and peach pit. The palate is loaded with minerals and concentrated stone fruit flavors and ripe bosch pear.

Absolutely gorgeous now, but surely to improve in the bottle for another 3-5 years as well. 13% Alcohol. 100% whole cluster pressed.

Phelan Farm Brij Grenache

Raj Parr, famed Sommelier, author, winemaker and partner at Domaine de la Côte and Sandhi in California and Evening Land in Oregon, set out to do something rather different in 2020: farm. Increasingly convinced that the most fundamental part of winemaking takes place in the vineyard, he traded a partially nomadic lifestyle of traveling, consulting, and wine educating for a more rooted mode of living in Cambria, a secluded town of rocky cliffs, pine forests, and cool climates on California's Central Coast. He had been drawn north from Santa Barbara by a few acres of vines nestled between the mountains and the Pacific: Phelan Farm.

From the producer: "Rancho Coda will be a vineyard name on everyone’s radar, just not as Rancho Coda.

Names aside, the vineyard itself is gorgeous and is already topping itself in each consecutive vintage. High above Westside Road this expansive property covers a multitude of appellations. The highest point is planted to Gamay Noir and Mondeuse for yours truly and we are thrilled to offer our first of many spectacular bottlings from this exciting new vineyard."

The Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir is aged 11 months in neutral French oak and stainless steel before being bottled in the spring following harvest. Grapes are sourced from Santa Maria, the estate vineyards, and select sites in Los Alamos. This wine is notable for its soaring spice character, offering intriguing notes of Chinese five spice, sandalwood, and a minty freshness that lends it an air of elegance. Medium-bodied, it features crunchy cherry fruit and vibrant blood orange acidity, with its fragrant profile seamlessly filling the mid-palate. The finish is long and layered with wet slate and clove nuances.

Desire Lines 'Cole Ranch' Riesling

Cole Ranch crackles with energy – a tightrope balance of bracing freshness and unctuous fruit. Orange confit, white peach, and tropical fruits leap from the glass, accented by ginger, jasmine, and honey. The palate is decidedly flamboyant, with terrific fruit density just barely held in check by vivid acidity and subtle saline notes. Give this lots of air, or do as we do and drink over three or four days (simply re-cork and pop back in the fridge). 3.5 g/L RS.

It has pure, intense aromas of white peach, tarragon, lime peel and flint, while the palate balances an expansive, satiny texture with tangy acidity. It has a touch of anchoring texture and a long, perfumed finish. It's a beautiful white that drinks well on its own and will pair widely at the table. Only 88 cases were made.

Ojai 'Kick-on Ranch' Riesling

Kick On Ranch is a few miles West of Los Alamos, getting close to the ocean and Vandenberg Air Force Base. This vineyard is home to our Riesling. It’s located in a narrow East-West corridor that funnels the Pacific Westerlies inland, so the wind is near constant and you get goosebumps even when visiting the vineyard in summertime. The wind and fog challenge the vines, and the poor sandy soils temper vine vigor. Our Riesling is always our last white fruit to ripen (generally in October). So much abuse and deprivation seems like a bad thing, but it’s exactly what provides the intense character and fine balance that you’ll find in our dry Riesling. The ranch was used once used only for cattle grazing before being planted to vines. This vineyard was planted in 1991 by Bob Stevens to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Some are on rootstock, some on their own roots. Steve Lyons bought the vineyard in 2007 and expanded the acreage by one third to 108 acres. Now it has Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and a new planting of Gruner Veltliner. The soils here are marine-based, generally very sandy loams resting above deep beds of gravelly alluvial deposits. Along with the wine and fog, these poor soils stress the vines, resulting in grapes of greater flavor and concentration.
$29.00

Tatomer 'Vandenberg' Riesling

This wine is a blend of multiple pickings from multiple sites in Santa Barbara County. A majority of the fruit comes from "Kick-on Ranch," while the rest comes from other older vineyards in the area. Typically, the selection for Vandenberg are grapes with a higher percentage of Botrytis, or "Noble Rot." The result is a richer more fruit driven wine. It has more of the stone fruit flavors often associated with Riesling, nice minerality, and some slight botrytis notes often expressed as honey, or pollen. The reason the wine is called Vandenberg is because the Kick-on Ranch is located about a mile from the Air Force Base with the same name.

Stoumen Young Vines Zinfandel

This wine spent 18 months in barrel and an additional 14 months bottle aging before release (32 months total). This careful consideration of co-fermented Zinfandel clones offers a taste of history and patience: only after cultivating Zinfandel for the past 170 years would we have such distinct clones, and only by waiting do we get to experience the evolution of flavor that occurs after extended aging. Young Vines sits at the intersection of then and now; a buoyant, youthful body that’s rooted in over 100 years of California winemaking history. As much as this wine is a child with an old soul, it’s an expression of wise elders who are children at heart.

Two Shepherds 'Centime' Orange Blend

“Centime” harkens back to France's copper penny, and celebrates our full skin-contact series (aka orange wine). The grapes are destemmed and fermented on the skins for 12 days, then aged in neutral oak 10 months. This is a non traditional orange wine, and at 11.8% alc, is light and fresh, while still textural. If you've always been curious about orange wines, but not a fan of oxidized wines, this is a great introduction to the style! If you've been enjoying our Centime wines for a while, you may have noticed a change. Since 2018, we've focused on Vermentino, and the 2022 vintage introduces 25% Picpoul and for the first time 15% Albarino, blended with the Vermentino (60%). The Centime penny has gone through some changes as well, until it was withdrawn in 2002, when France switched over to the Euro. Long live Centime!

Macatho Cuchufli Pais Blend

Agrícola Macatho is the winery project of Macarena del Río and Thomas Payrare, who started making wine together in 2016 near their home in Chillán in Chile’s Itata Valley. Their story embodies the entanglement of France and Chile in one chapter of the history of Chilean natural wine. Maca was born and raised in Chile by a French mother in a household where wine was always a presence; she studied Agronomy in Valparaíso and the Maule valley, then went to France to learn oenology at the prestigious University of Bordeaux. Thomas was born in France and came to Chile while working at a bank; he ended up moving in with Louis-Antoine Luyt, another Frenchman who was then just beginning his path towards making natural wine in Chile. Cuchufli is 60% País from the 150+-year-old Pilen Alto vineyard near Cauquenes in the Maule valley on clay loam soils; 40% Moscatel from vines planted in 1900 near Ranquil granitic soils. Fermented separately, with each portion having roughly 20 days of skin contact. A fresh and juicy taste of the País varietal in a delicious blend with Moscatel giving it a light cherry color with aromas of wildflowers, and on the palate sweet and sour layers of tart cherry, ripe strawberry, with citrus and peppery notes. Best to drink a little chilled.

Marjan has been involved for the last 22 years, after he studied for a year in Burgundy and a year in Bordeaux. He’s changed things a bit, but claims ‘I’m very respectful of the traditional vinification. I do old style vinification like my father,’ he says. ---------> Maceration of the whites is around 4–6 days, although for some varieties it is a bit less.

Zelen is a rare local variety from Vipava Valley, with only 80 hectares left being cultivated in the world. It is a low-yielding varietal that thrives in the windy Vipava region, where the harsh climate means that growers must use indigenous grapes that are resistant to the intense winds.

The archaeological evidence found nearby suggests that this place has a rich tradition in vinification, dating since the time of the Dacians or even their ancestors, the ancient Thracians. It is not a coincidence that the language that Romanians speak today still holds quite a few Dacian terms of great significance in the field of vines cultivation. Words such as barrel, barley or grape show once again that the Dacian heritage in the creation of wines has been and continues to be of paramount importance.

Bessa Valley Winery 'Duo Enira'

The grapes are harvested by hand with careful quality control in the vineyard. After destemming and berry selection on vibrating tables, the fruit is transferred by gravity into concrete tanks without crushing. Cold maceration is followed by controlled alcoholic fermentation and warm maceration, allowing for a gentle and precise extraction. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels – 30% two-year-old and 70% three-year-old barrels – adding texture and subtle complexity without dominating the fruit. The final blend is filtered and bottled.

Vina Herzanovi Pet Nat White Blend

Sauvignon Bland and Muller-Thurgau Vineyard: loess with sand and humus, planted in 2002. Biodynamically farmed by Jakub & co themselves. Cellar: the grapes were harvested together by hand and gently pressed with stems after few hours of maceration. The juice is bottled while still fermenting (indigenous yeast only), to finish the fermentation in bottles as pet-nat. Undisgorged, unfined, unsulfured. Personality: cloudy aromatic fizzy fun! “The fermentation was really fast, so the wine didn’t have a lot of time to sediment”, the creators explain – and we predict that given its chuggability, this wine won’t spend much time in your glasses and bottles either.

Peter Gonc Pinot Blanc

Gönc Winery is a dynamic, family-run estate led by the irreverent and passionate Peter Gönc, who has become a cult figure in natural wine circles.

Terre de L'Elu 'L'Aiglerie' Cab Franc

Thomas and Charlotte Carsin run Terre de l’Elu in the schistous Anjou region. Thomas Carsin is from a non-wine growing family in Burgundy and got a degree in tropical farming before heading to Sonoma. Carsin then ended up in Champagne as a viticulture consultant. The couple bought Clos de l'Elu in 2008 and have moved the property to organic and biodynamic farming. They have also left the appellation system, classifying their wines as Vin de France. As a result the estate can no longer use the word ‘Clos’ for their wines - just one more intricacy of French wine law. Highlights include their flagship Chenin Blancs Bastingage and Ephata. The yields are often very low due to the poor schistous soils creating an intense expression while their Maupiti red, a blend of Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Grolleau always has intriguing, layered aromatics. Occasionally, there's some brett in the reds.

Gagnard-Delagrange Chassagne Montrachet 'Morgeot' 1er Cru

Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange was created in 1959 with the marriage of Jacques Gagnard to Marie-Josèphe Delagrange. After the death of Jacques in 2009, Marie-Josèphe runs the domaine with the help of their grandson, Marc-Antonin Blain. Marc-Antonin worked in the cellar alongside Jacques for three years and learned the traditional style that Gagnard-Delagrange is known for. Most of the vineyards of Gagnard-Delagrange have been handed down to their two daughters. The domaine, however, retains 7.4 acres of premier crus in Chassagne-Montrachet as well as two small parcels that Marie-Josèphe tends herself: Chassagne Village and a small vineyard of Passetoutgrain called Les Farges. Morgeot was first planted to vines by the Cistercian monks in the Middle Ages. Gagnard-Delagrange’s grapes come from a small hill with shallow soils, just past the Morgeot Abbey. This parcel was a wedding present from Marie-Josèphe Delagrange’s parents when she married Jacques Gagnard. Only six barrels are produced.

Magnien Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020

Domaine Michel Magnien has evolved into a Burgundy producer of a singular style and philosophy from cellars located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. In 1993, Frédéric Magnien persuaded his father Michel to begin domaine bottling. The domaine is now certified biodynamic by Demeter and the wines are produced without the use of new oak. The domaine’s 45 acres are spread across the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne Romanée, with holdings in several premier cru and grand cru vineyards. These include the grand crus Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Charmes-Chambertin. Frédéric Magnien maintains an average vine age of 50 years Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru sits below Chambertin and includes the climat of Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru within its borders, a section of which reaches down to the D974. Magnien’s parcel is in Mazoyères, which can be bottled as Charmes. The name charmes likely derives from champs, and means field or meadow. Its gentle slope of decayed limestone has an abundance of gravel and stones, allowing the vines to grow deep

Xavier Monnot Meursault 'Le Limozin' 2019

Xavier Monnot is a leading producer in Meursault whose winemaking style emphasizes purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity. Prior to the release of the 2005 vintage, the property was known as Domaine René Monnier (Xavier's grandfather). In 2005, along with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, Xavier began bottling his wines under his own label. Domaine Xavier Monnot is a 42-acre estate in Meursault with vineyards stretching from Beaune to Maranges. 60% of the Domaine's production is white and 40% red with several premier crus in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Volnay, and Maranges. Xavier believes in maintaining an average vine age of 30 to 40 years and practices lutte raisonnée (“reasoned struggle”). Le Limozin is a lieu-dit situated just below the Meursault premier cru Les Genevrières and is named after a stream that used to flow near the vineyards. It is one of several lieux-dits in Meursault that perform above their official “village” level status. Le Limozin typically gives a wine that is broad and expansive thanks to a mix of clay and limestone soil and Monnot’s old vines (planted in 1961 and 1976) deliver an especially concentrated version. Aged from 12 to 14 months in 15-20% percent new French oak.

It is a real family operation, helmed by the two parents, Dominique and Dominique, and supported by their kids, one of whom is our good friend Clémence. The family’s 8.7 hectares of vineyards, which are planted mostly with Pinot Meunier, face northward, offering some protection from the effects of global wiwarming, though Clémence is quick to note that they can now make red wines for the first time in the history of Champagne. The domaine, which has been certified organic since 2014 and Demeter-certified biodynamic since 2017, is comprised of 42 distinct parcels where Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay are grown at elevations of 400 ft.

After Henri passed away in 1972, his two sons, Michel and Francois, divided up the vineyard parcels, creating Domaine Michel Gaunoux in Pommard and Domaine François Gaunoux in Meursault. Jean-Michel Gaunoux worked with his father, Francois, at Domaine François Gaunoux for several years, but after acquiring vineyard parcels from his mother’s family in 1990, he ventured out on his own to start Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux.

Perdrix Nuits Saint Georges 2020

To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand. Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation we make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's exctraction. Then full maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages (punching the cap). Intensity and numbers are lead to the concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized with natural yeasts. After maceration, free and press wines are separated for aging. Aging process is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels during 16 months with 30% of new barrels. We only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests. The wine spends 3 months in tanks before bottling.

Perched in the western uplands alongside the famous Chardonnay-producing village of Meursault, Auxey-Duresses is a small but substantial wine-producing sub-appellation in the Côte de Beaune of Burgundy. Its vineyards cover both sides of the valley (called a combe in French) that cuts through the low hills just west of the lower Côte de Beaune villages of Meursault and Volnay. Cooling winds flow through this basin during the growing season and result in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a touch of charming rusticity. They are also more approachable in price compared to their Volnay or Meursault counterparts.

The Tollot family represents a long lineage of winegrowers dating back to the late 1880s when François Tollot began planting vineyards in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Today, cousins Nathalie, Jean-Paul, and Olivier Tollot are in charge. The wines of Tollot-Beaut are well-known for their serious but pleasing style across a range of appellations from Bourgogne to Grand Cru. Chorey-lès-Beaune lies on the plains below the Cote d'Or escarpment with 336 acres almost exclusively planted with Pinot Noir. Initially, the Tollot family owned vines only in Chorey, but successive generations made small acquisitions in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, and Beaune for a current total of 60 acres. Most of the wine grown in Chorey-lès-Beaune is bottled as Côte de Beaune-Villages, a catchall appellation that allows several villages to blend their red wines. Tollot-Beaut is proud of their village and produces this classic example from vines planted between 1992 and 1998. The wine spent 18 months in 25% new Burgundian pièce.

Domaine Veilloux Cremant

Amongst the traditional method sparkling wines, a Crémant de Loire is often a great choice, for both variety of style and value. This is a delightful example of what a change in grape can offer. This is 50% Chardonnay and 50% Menu Pineau (Orbois). The addition of the Orbois gives the wine more texture and length, as well as an added dimension to the fruit. One year of lees ageing gives a creaminess to this well balanced, lively fizz. Dangerously easy to drink! Domaine de Veilloux is a small estate in a quiet part to the Loire Valley near Cheverny. It has been a family owned the estate since the French Revolution, and was taken over by Michel and Sylviane Quenioux in 1994. Michel, a firm believer in the health and environmental benefits of organic and biodynamic farming, implemented these practices from the start and obtained their certification in 1998. The domaine now includes just over 25 hectares, all of which are grown using sustainable, organic methods. Most of the wines are blends, including this Crémant, which is decidedly a step above a typical Loire sparkling. Vinification: 50 year-old Chardonnay vines and 25 year-old Orbois vines planted in soils of silty sandstone over calcareous rock. Grapes are hand-picked and pressed immediately on-site. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete vats and is temperature-controlled at 11 degrees. The juice rests on the fine lees until the February after harvest, then it is bottled. It then rests a further 1.5- 2 years on the lees. The wine is disgorged and a minimal dosage is added to reach an optimal balance between acidity and sugar. ----------> Match it with: Any aperitif, shellfish, poached white fish or light cheese.

J. Moreau Chablis Grand Cru 'Le Clos' 2020

Grand Cru Les Clos parcel is handpicked, like all our 1ers Crus and Grands Crus and handsorted before being pressed. The vines are planted in the heart of the Chablis area on pure Kimmeridgian soil more calcareous on the hills and date back to 1958-1968. We generally start picking in Grands Crus parcels first because the grapes ripen earlier thanks to their ideal exposure. We vinified Grand Cru Les Clos in stainless steel tanks for both alcoholic fermentation, activated with indigenous yeasts for 18 to 25 days at low temperature (18°C) and malolactic fermentation, thanks to natural bacteria at 20°C for a few months. Since vintage 2013, the Grand Cru Les Clos will age only in tank, on fine lees, with minimum intervention, to let it express all its minerality and purity. Then the cuvee will go through a light filtration and bottling. Generally, the bottling takes place 18-20 months after harvest.

Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre Rose

Hippolyte Reverdy’s family has been making wine in the charming village of Verdigny, a commune of Sancerre in the eastern Loire, for many generations—perhaps as far back as 1600. Traditional in nature, the farm was planted to multiple crops, and the Reverdys raised goats and made small quantities of wine from their own vines for local consumption. It was not until the end of World War II that Hippolyte began increasing his Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir production, selling it to accommodate increasing demand from Paris. Hippolyte and his three sons began bottling small quantities under their own label, although the lion’s share of the grapes was still being sold off to the local cave coopérative. Michel joined his father and brothers in 1971, shortly after finishing high school. Kermit began working with the domaine for the first time in 1983. Shortly after, the passing of Michel’s father and the untimely deaths of his two brothers brought a climate of sadness to the domaine. Michel was left with his mother to bear the burden of loss and to assume the responsibility of running the farm alone. Slowly but surely, Michel has found his own rhythm. After tasting a Sancerre rouge from the domaine, Kermit asked Michel to craft one for him in the traditional demi-muids, and specified that he would like it unfiltered. Once convinced of the quality, Michel expanded the winery to accommodate these new reds. Since then, his rouge is the talk of Sancerre, one of a kind.

Touraize 'Les Voisines' Arbois Chardonnay

“Les Voisines” (“the neighbors”) comes from 2.35 hectares of Chardonnay spread among four parcels in Arbois: Curoulet, En Flandre, Les Corvées, and La Platière, with soils ranging from gravelly marl to calcareous marl to blue marl. The fruit is pressed whole-cluster and undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in well-used barrels of varying sizes, where the wine spends 18 months on the fine lees and is bottled without fining or filtration, and with just 20 milligrams per liter of sulfur (added after malolactic finishes). The barrels are kept full, in the ouillé style, and the finished wine displays bristling minerality unaccented by oxidative elements. Despite its recognizable varietal character and its purity of fruit, however, this is a forcefully saline, chiseled iteration of Chardonnay that could be produced nowhere else but the Jura.

Goguette 'Mama' Grenache

Domaine de la Goguette was created by Julien Mary in 2020. In 2017, he returned to his native region after several years of hitchhiking in different countries and made the decision to train to become a winemaker. Today, he is installed on the banks of the Gardon, in Collias, to undertake a new adventure and make natural wines. He works his vines with respect for the plant and practices a gentle pruning in winter, to preserve a good flow of sap and a greater longevity of his plants. Sheep come to graze in the vineyards during the winter to weed while providing organic fertilizer. He strives to make as few antifungal treatments as possible (Bordeaux mixture / sulfur) while keeping a close eye so as not to let possible diseases spread in the spring. The young winemaker has the firm will to make natural wines of terroir. The juices do not undergo any intervention: no or little sulphites, no yeasting, no pasteurization or filtration during vinification, except for rigorous monitoring on his part. All fermentations are exclusively made from indigenous yeasts, present naturally. 100% grapes! The wines are macerated using the traditional, semi-carbonic or carbonic method, then aged for several months in vats and barrels. Julien knows how to magnify Grenache and Syrah and his talent is in the image of the estate, very promising.

There is a plentitude of classic Chablis elements present on the green fruit and lemon rind-suffused nose that is trimmed in moderate wood influence. The succulent, round and admirably concentrated larger-scaled flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract that confers a seductive texture to the mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the powerful, impressively long and youthfully austere finale. This imposing effort will definitely need at least a few years to develop more depth, but it should be worth the wait.

Lionnet 'Terre Brulee' Cornas 2021

Domaine Lionnet doesn’t do modern Cornas. No new oak, no destemming, no chasing polish. Just whole-cluster Syrah, native fermentations, long macerations, and aging in old barrels. The result is a wine that feels carved from stone—intensely savory, textured, and deeply rooted in place. The 2021 vintage of Terre Brûlée shows the cooler edge of Cornas, with tension and freshness layered into its dark, brooding core. It’s not flashy—there’s no glycerol sheen or plush fruit here. Instead, you get cracked pepper, smoked meat, crushed herbs, and the crunch of stemmy grip. It starts narrow, then unfurls slowly, with a coiled energy that promises years of evolution. This is for lovers of Syrah with structure, edge, and zero artifice. Pair it with slow-cooked lamb, grilled mushrooms, or a decanter and a long evening. For those who lean toward Gonon, Allemand, or the wilder corners of the Northern Rhône, Lionnet belongs firmly in the rotation.

Clos de Vieux Bourg Morgon Cote du Py

Côte du Py represents Morgon's most celebrated terroir, where blue granite soils create wines of exceptional depth and longevity. Clos du Vieux Bourg's 2021 showcases this legendary site in a vintage that emphasizes elegance and mineral expression. The wine opens with complex aromatics that transcend typical Beaujolais - dark cherry and plum notes are interwoven with violet, crushed stone, and subtle spice. The famous blue granite of Côte du Py adds a distinctive mineral signature that sets these wines apart. As it develops, hints of black pepper, herbs, and iron emerge. On the palate, the wine shows surprising structure for Beaujolais; fine-grained tannins support concentrated fruit flavors, while bright acidity and mineral notes create exceptional length. The finish resonates with stone and spice. This 2021 Côte du Py demonstrates why Morgon is considered Beaujolais' most age-worthy cru. The combination of exceptional terroir and thoughtful winemaking creates a wine that bridges the gap between Beaujolais charm and Burgundian seriousness. For those seeking to understand why top Beaujolais commands respect, this bottle provides a compelling argument through its complexity and potential.

Jean-Marc’s friend’s parcel in Les Raclots is 60 years old, planted in the appellation’s classic clay-limestone terrain. This cuvée offers a saline impression with good power and depth of fruit, and a sense of underlying richness that stops short of viscosity. Les Raclots more than holds its own against some of Jean-Marc’s more gras-oriented Chassagne-Montrachet 1er crus, and it will age terrifically.

Massiac Minervois Syrah Blend

This is the most important wine of the estate, a serious red vinified to reflect its capacity to age. The grapes are harvested at a point of slight “surmaturité” which captures the profound scents and flavors of the surrounding hillside “garrigue”. The cuvaison continues for at least a month; then, the wine is racked into tank for aging. The wine is bottled twenty to twenty-four months after harvest. As the wine ages in bottle, it develops enticing notes of juniper, rosemary and thyme as well as the savory flavors of wild berries and a hint of the “animal” … all in all, one of the more compelling values in our portfolio.

Louis Moreau Chablis 'Clos de Hospices' Grand Cru 2021

The 2021 Chablis Clos des Hospices Dans Les Clos Grand Cru is the standout cuvée from Louis Moreau in this vintage. It has a slightly peachier bouquet than the regular Les Clos, well-defined with yellow flowers and light tertiary scents. The palate is well-balanced with a fine spine of acidity, taut and fresh with a saline finish urging you back for another sip. This is a delicious and well-made Les Clos that should age with style.

This red Syrah from Clos Saint-Joseph Les Planches De La Gardivole in the Cotes De Provence region is a delightful example of elegance in a glass.

This wine strikes a perfect balance of fruit-forward charm and structured complexity, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Montaude Minervois 'Tradition' Red Blend

Domaine Montaude is a family-run venture based in Roquecourbe-Minervois, where four generations of winemakers have shaped the estate’s identity. It all began with Joseph, the great-grandfather who arrived in France after fleeing the Spanish dictatorship, and who purchased his first vineyards before passing on his passion to his descendants. The estate has grown over the generations, and today Philippe and Patricia, joined by their son Thomas, carry on this legacy by embracing digital technology and expanding into international markets. The estate’s vineyards span 9 hectares of gently sloping hillsides and terraces on the “balconies of the Aude,” planted with traditional grape varieties such as Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The wines, classified as AOP Minervois and Vins de Pays, authentically reflect this Mediterranean terroir. Committed to sustainable viticulture and in the process of converting to organic farming since 2019, the estate moves forward with a commitment to respecting the land and, in the future through a wine tourism project, sharing the full experience of life as a winemaker.

Didon Bourgogne Blanc

The adventure of Naïma and David begins at a crossroads in Beaune. Each going their own fiercely independent way, they found one another at a serendipitous moment, and committed to making wines that express their shared convictions. In Chassey-le-Camp, located at the northern edges of the Côte Châlonnaise, the Didons practice their craft in variations that highlight their journey, terroir, knowledge, and dedication. -----> David’s journey began at the agrobiology school of Beaujeu, where he was imbued with the history and legacy of biodynamic agriculture. It’s there that he immersed himself in the works of Rudolf Steiner and formulated an approach to farming that went beyond a set of specific practices, yet informed his whole approach to the living world around him.

Paul Barre 'La Bobine' Bordeaux Blend

Paul Barre resonates as one of Bordeaux's most iconic names. Considered by many to be the father of biodynamic winemaking in the region, he brought prestige to Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac. Today, run by his son Gabriel and his wife Édith, the estate draws intelligent inspiration from the past while developing a new style focused on the purity of the fruit. The wines display remarkable energy and brilliance, thanks in particular to sensitive viticulture, delicate winemaking, and aging in old barrels. The wines are consistent, bursting with fruit, respectful of the terroir, and possess excellent aging potential. The La Bobine cuvée from Domaine Paul Barre is made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines planted in clay-sand soils. The nose of this wine reveals enticing notes of wild strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blackcurrants with a hint of mint. The palate is round and crisp thanks to fine tannins and a refreshingly crisp finish.

Chenu 'Saucours' Savigny-Les-Beaune 2021

The Savigny whites come from so-called “white” soil, which comprises in part of marl. Only 5% of the Savigny vineyard is made up of white grape varieties (mostly chardonnay). The most favorable ground is situated at the entrance to the village on a slightly sloping hillside facing north (Les Saucours) and at the exit of the village heading towards Bouilland on a hillside this time facing south (Les Vermots). The Savigny-Lès-Beaune white wines are well-structured, dry, quite rounded and are an attractive golden-green color. The main chardonnay variety gives the roundness, the aromas and the finesse. The pinot blanc (around 10%) provides the touch from the vine.

Deux Anes Premier Pas Carignan Blend

Domaine des 2 Ânes or "Two Donkeys" was among the first natural wines I was introduced to. It's still affordable and very crowd friendly, rustic and soulful. At the time there was not really much 'glou-glou' and putting red wine in the fridge was still liable to get you laughed at. But this wine still holds up as a bigger red that has finesse and freshness, elements that have always made it stand out from the oceans of alcoholic-tasting, conventional wines from the south of France. Though the roughly 50 acres of vines are in the hot, dry region between Montpellier and the Spanish border, they are right on the Mediterranean coast. The strong winds and the sea help balance out the lack of rain. In fact the winds are strong enough to make the plot a great choice for organic viticulture, as winds keep the grape bunches dry and less vulnerable to fungal disease. Magali Terrier, the owner, picked this spot after relocating from her native Beaujolais for this exact reason. Now she has not two but three donkeys to help her — Lolita and her children Pinocchio and Riquito — and they are certified organic and biodynamic, with the donkeys helping to fertilize and prune the vines. "Premiers Pas" is mostly Carignan with Grenache from gobelet trained vines, fermented and aged in steel tank. Magali says it's her lightest red, and it only clocks in at 12.5% abv. Yet it still packs a punch, with juicy blackberries, blueberries, baking spices, and red pepper flakes surrounded by earthy tannins. There's a touch of funk but it's maybe a 2 on a scale from 1 to 10. Overall it is a great reminder of what I guess is old school natural wine, with the emphasis being on farming and on creating a vivid snapshot of one particular spot on the planet, this being a special vineyard on the precipice of the sea. And of course it's also the home of three helpful donkeys.

MT Benjamin Ravier Apremont Jacquere

Apremont is a small Alpine village in the Savoie that sits at the foot of Mont Granier. These extremely high-altitude vineyards are east facing and chalk-full of limestone. Winemaker Benjamin Ravier works the vines according to HVE 3 standards of sustainability, committing to practices that allow for unadulterated expressions of the Apremont terroir. The Jacquère grapes are hand harvested, pressed very gently, and fermented without maceration in stainless steel. In addition, indigenous yeasts are selected from the vineyards and the wine does not experience secondary malolactic fermentation. Three months of lees contact lend a pleasant textural quality of the wine, as well as a roundness that balances its liveliness and minerality. This wine opens with soft notes of white flowers, pure autumn apple and peach, with a slightly weighty mid pallet, and a finish that bursts with lime and acidity. Elegant, approachable, and refreshing.

Mouton Noir Vouvray Sec

Domaine du Mouton Noir farms 9 ha in Vouvray, and its owner, Julien Martins, has been a friend and colleague of David's since his years as the winemaker at Billaud-Simon in Chablis during its final years before being purchased by Faiveley. Educated in oenology at Bordeaux and having worked throughout Burgundy and the Loire Valley, Julien brings perspective to his work in Vouvray. An impressive one-man operation, Julien is a thoughtful proprietor who wants to raise the bar in this AOC, seriously thinking about the kinds of wine the consumer prefers to drink in today's world. ---------> Without large finances he has found clever ways to work with the best tools. For instance, unable to afford the 600L demi-muids from Stockinger, he bought the 500L version second-hand...and then dares you to tell the difference! The results are fluid, precise and pure. His vineyards are at Chançay on the limestone/clay plateaux above Vouvray. It is exclusively Chenin Blanc but for a tiny parcel of Côt which is rendered as Rosé.

The Aligoté for this wine comes from a single vineyard of only 0.2 hectare in size, which was planted in 1987. This is some high-quality old-school Aligoté, gently pressed with no settling of must, primary and malolactic fermentations in oak (but only 20% new), no lees stirring during élevage, and nearly two years of aging in 4-5 year-old neutral oak. This all serves to cultivate a rich and creamy profile while preserving this varietal's natural freshness, creating an Aligoté that is crisp but flavorful and speaks of Jobard's incredible terroir.

Yannick Amirault 'Coudraye' Bourgeuil Cab Franc

Yannick Amirault is one of the leading figures in the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil appellations, making everything from juicy, fruity interpretations of Cabernet Franc to the deep and powerful Pavillon du Grand Clos. A few things have changed since son Benoît joined the 19-hectare family domaine. Still, he continues his father Yannick’s work in the vineyard, not using herbicides and practicing a green harvest, not to cut yields but to remove substandard fruit. Having practiced organic viticulture since 2000 and certified in 2011, they won’t be going down the biodynamic route, according to Benoît, the current guardian of the Amirault ship. Since 2014, it has been a hands-off style in the winery, including ending the use of sulfur dioxide during fermentation. The approach focuses on vinifying by terroir, so the light gravel and sand-based terroirs have a shorter maceration, while the local limestone, tu!eau, enjoys five weeks on skins and is aged in oak. There’s even experimentation with Hungarian 600- liter jars to reduce the impact of wood on the fruit.

Coutale Malbec Rose

After decades of working with Philippe Bernède of Clos La Coutale in Cahors to import one of our perennial best values, we have finally received a rosé from this Renaissance Man: inventor of corkscrews, flyer of planes, and producer of delicious wine. All these years, he has sent us his inky, spicy, earthy red Cahors—often referred to as a “black wine” because of its deep color—which is made of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot. Why hasn’t he produced a pink wine until now? The short answer is that Philippe is a perfectionist, unwilling to join the rosé rush as soon as possible just to make a quick euro. If he was going to release a rosé at all, it had to meet his high standards first. “I’ve tried to do it several times,” Philippe says, “and I have drawn good lessons from trying with different methods. It is a vinification that is very technical and very interesting, one which demands a lot of supervision.” He seems to have found the right technique at last. Using Malbec from his latest-ripening vines, Philippe employs a brief skin maceration with aging on fine lees to achieve his desired roundness for the wine as well as its soaring aromas and long finish. What is the result of Philippe’s experimentation? With its gorgeous strawberry hue, Clos La Coutale’s Malbec-based rosé is an immensely impressive first bottling that deserves a place on your table. It evokes bright and juicy red berries, a touch of spice, and the faintest hint of mouthwatering salinity, making for an extroverted, medium-bodied, and flat-out delicious pink wine.

Blain Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2021

Domaine Blain-Gagnard was formed in 1980 when Jean-Marc Blain married Claudine Gagnard, youngest daughter of Jacques and Marie-Josèphe Gagnard of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange. The couple runs this venerable domaine with the help of their son Marc-Antonin. They now control 20.5 acres of vines in Chassagne-Montrachet, including holdings in three grands crus: Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet. Chassagne-Montrachet lies towards the southern end of the Côte de Beaune and is famous for its white wines, although half of its total plantings are in red. In addition to the Grand Crus, Blain-Gagnard’s holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet include two red premier crus and four white premier crus along with small holdings in Volnay and Pommard. The vineyards are farmed by lutte raisonée (“reasoned struggle”). Chassagne-Montrachet rouge can have some of the same characteristics found in the red wines of the Côte de Nuits. They can have some of the same tannins and earthiness found in Nuits-Saint-Georges and the premier crus especially can occasionally rival the complexity and longevity found in more famous red wine villages.

Mauzac Rose is an oxidative variety, so Laurent avoids racking as much as possible. The Adèle Blanc is aged sur lie in tank and is bottled unfiltered and unfined. Tasting Notes: This cuvee is a textural, richer white wine with inviting density. Aromatics include jasmine, acacia and pear.

All of Louis’ decisions in the vineyard and cellar are meant to bring out the personality of each terroir.

Thibault Ducroux 'En Roue Libre' Beaujolais

Thibault Ducroux is one of those winemakers who has been enticed by the vine from practically a toddler’s age: the son of a Beaujolais grower, he recalls how quickly he became passionate while learning the basics of the trade in his father’s cellar. His desire to understand more about vine-growing led him to study a classical viticulture-enology course in the region, but the real game-changer came when he discovered the works of Jules Chauvet, the ingenious 20th-century research chemist, winemaker and négociant venerated as the father of the French natural wine movement. “His works challenged me and finally convinced me that there are different ways of making wine,” the young, athletic and ever-smiling Thibault explains what led him to get in touch with more of his Beaujolais natural winemaking fellows, such as Jean Claude Lapalu, Michel Guignier, Isabelle and Bruno Perraud or Valentin Morel in Jura. The path was set: once the diploma was in his pocket, Ducroux started to work for another dedicated, up-and-coming Beaujolais grower Julien Sunier, where he learned the ropes of organic viticulture and natural vinifications. At the same time, Thibault also purchased 1.25 hectares of vines in the Beaujolais AOC that gave birth to his very first wine in 2019. This light-headed, fruity and crunchy Gamay is called En Roue Libre (“Freewheeling”) – a smart choice of name that honors both hands-off natural winemaking methods and Thibault’s love for cycling. (He even used to race in a club before dedicating himself to full-time winemaking, and the bike still remains a big weekend pleasure.) In 2020, Thibault secured a long-term rental of 5 more hectares of old Gamay vines in the Morgon and Fleurie crus. All the vineyards are cultivated according to organic principles and are awaiting certification. Together with the high density of plantation (10,000 plants per hectare) and the impressive age of the vines (50 years on average), this allows Thibault to make wines that offer beautiful structure and terroir focus. In the cellar, the traditional Beaujolais practice of whole-bunch carbonic maceration is de rigueur, using indigenous yeast only. No further manipulations or additives, save for a tiny bit of sulfur at bottling, are used, just as Thibaut learned from all his colleagues. When tasting the 2020 wines, we were quite impressed by their purity and the clear and compelling winemaking vision of their creator, a man still in his early twenties and only on his second vintage. Adding these promising gourmand wines to our book was a no-brainer, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this dedicated natural racer… It’s such a pleasure to see that the Beaujolais, a region that has already gifted the natural wine world with so many dedicated, iconic winemakers, still has fresh talent to spare!

Collotte Marsannay 'Les Boivin'

It was at the 2006 Grand Jours de Bourgogne that I was looking for excellent Burgundies at equally excellent value. Marsannay came to mind as a good candidate, but aside from a couple of well-known producers, I was disappointed in the quality of many. That is until I came upon Philippe Collotte. A tall, quiet man, but with a lot of passion to make superb wines just waiting to be unleashed. Producing lower yields, more selection before and at harvest, de-stemmed fruit, and, for us, he bottles everything unfiltered. His Bourgogne parcel was planted in 1947 and there are 5 parcels of 50+ year old vines in his super-value Marsannay VV. Indeed all of the Marsannay single vineyard cuvées are old vines. Tillage is all done by plowing, no chemical weed-killers ever used, and the philosophy is that a lot of work in the vines promotes healthy grapes for excellent wine. Collotte's yields are well below the appellation's allowances. All fermentations are only done with indigenous yeasts.

Just a few miles northeast of Château-Chalon is an old picturesque Jurassien farm named Les Granges-Bernard. Surrounded by pastures and old forests on the plateau behind the village of Menétru-le-Vignoble, it is quite secluded and makes one feel like they have stepped back in time a few generations. It is here that Marie-Pierre Chevassu-Fassenet was brought up working daily on the farm with her parents and three sisters. Her mother came from a family of vignerons and her father farmed and raised cattle for cheese. In the late 1980’s her father took on a couple hectares of vines, and Marie-Pierre instantly took to working in the vineyards. Over time more vineyards were added and her father started producing and selling wine under his own label.

The Tollot family represents a long lineage of winegrowers dating back to the late 1880s when François Tollot began planting vineyards in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Today, cousins Nathalie, Jean-Paul, and Olivier Tollot are in charge. The wines of Tollot-Beaut are well-known for their serious but pleasing style across a range of appellations from Bourgogne to Grand Cru. Chorey-lès-Beaune lies on the plains below the Cote d'Or escarpment with 336 acres almost exclusively planted with Pinot Noir. Initially, the Tollot family owned vines only in Chorey, but successive generations made small acquisitions in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, and Beaune for a current total of 60 acres. Aloxe-Corton Les Vercots 1er Cru is a special wine for Tollot-Beaut. Through 2012, this wine was produced from 50% old vines with some of the plantings dating to before WWII. Les Vercots is now produced from a ten-year-old sélection massale on deep soil with a high limestone content. The climat sits mid-slope on the Corton hill and faces due south.

Pascale Rion Cote de Nuits Village 'Mosaic'

Rooted in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Rion family has been tending vines and crafting wines for several generations. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, they now farm 4.3 hectares passed down through the family, with vines that include old selections originally planted by Louis Rion, the grandfather of the current winegrower Pascale Rion. Pascale’s daughter, Annabelle, is also involved in this journey. She is currently studying viticulture and occasionaly works in the family vineyard. Their work reflects a deep commitment to sustainable, reasoned viticulture and careful management of wine growth to encourage biodiversity and vine health. Each step, from the vineyard to the cellar in Chambolle-Musigny, is carried out with precision and respect for tradition. Their wines are a true reflection of the Côte de Nuits, a region renowned for its mosaic of “climats”, its exceptionnal Pinot Noir, and its centuries-old winegrowing heritage. Through their thoughtful approach, the Rion family captures the depth, structure, and elegance that define Burgundy’s finest terroirs.

Oxymore 'Sombre Clarte' Syrah

Harvested early in the morning at Domaine Astrado in the Luberon and driven 4 hours by truck to the Domaine in the village of Domblans (Jura). Approximately 50% of the grapes were de-stemmed and 50% left as whole bunches. The de-stemmed grapes and whole bunches were macerated in stainless-steel tanks for 10 days, with a light pump-over once a day. Fermentation began spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. On the 11th day the grapes were pressed and the juice transferred back to stainless-steel tanks to complete fermentation. After malolactic fermentation the wine was transferred to 15-year-old French oak barrels of 228L for ageing. No sulfur additions were made during the vinification of this wine.

Goguette 'La Siesta' Syrah Blend

30km due west of Avignon sits the small village of Collias. Here, on the banks of the Gardon, Julien Mary of Domaine de la Goguette is producing highly focused, atypical wines in a region that many wine enthusiasts have written off. After several years of backpacking around the world, Julien returned to his native region in 2017 to take up an apprenticeship with Nicolas Renaud of Le Clos Grillons. Originally a university geology professor, Nicolas is renowned for his knowledge of terroir and farming. For 5 vintages Julien worked daily with Nicolas, honing his skills in the vines and in the cellar. In late 2020 Julien acquired a long-term lease on just over 2 hectares of old vine Grenache and Syrah, rooted in sandy clay and limestone soils near the village of Collias. Soon after he was able to take over an old cellar in the heart of the village that had been the home of Domaine des Cabotines. Thus, Domaine de la Goguette was born. Julien works his vineyards with respect for the vines, and wholeheartedly believes the wine is made in the vineyard. Cover crops are left spontaneously grassed throughout the year to establish plant cover, de-compacted and draining soils, and fertile organic matter. In the winter, grazing Sheep provide weed control and natural fertilizer. The Domaine has been certified Organic since the 2022 vintage, and Julien strives to use as few antifungal treatments as possible with only minimal amounts Bordeaux mixture used when absolutely necessary. In the cellar Julien takes a non-interventionist approach. He is determined to make natural wines, that represent his vision for the future of wine in the Southern Rhône. During the vinification the wines undergo very minimal to no intervention. All fermentations begin spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts, and light sulfur additions are made on some but not all the cuvées. Having the great fortune of stumbling across Julien and his wonderful wife Lisa in January 2022 is what makes this job worth doing. Perhaps never again will we be fortunate enough to taste the inaugural vintage from such a promising vigneron. These are soulful wines, and we are thrilled to be a part of the Domaine de la Goguette story.

Lampyres H2O Grenache Blanc Blend

The village of Espira de L’Agly is located at the very eastern end of the Agly Valley, just 20km from the Mediterranean Sea and 3km northwest of Rivesaltes. Rivesaltes, along with the villages of Banyuls and Maury, is famous for the production of sweet Vin Doux Naturel. A once popular aperitif wine, Vin Doux Naturel was in high demand during the first half of the 20th century. For Rivesaltes alone, the annual production during the 1950’s and 1960’s was upwards of 70 million bottles a year. Today, fewer than 3 million bottles are sold each year. With such a dramatic fall in public demand, many farmers in Espira de L’Agly and the surrounding areas ripped out their vines and converted to orchards. Those who did keep their vines became almost completely reliant on négociants and cooperatives to purchase their annual production. The Daurés are one the brave families who held onto their vines. For that we should all be very grateful, as the current generation is making what we consider to be some of the most innovative and focused wines we have tasted from Roussillon.

Gagnard-Delagrange Chassagne Montrachet 2019

Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange was created in 1959 with the marriage of Jacques Gagnard to Marie-Josèphe Delagrange. After the death of Jacques in 2009, Marie-Josèphe runs the domaine with the help of their grandson, Marc-Antonin Blain. Marc-Antonin worked in the cellar alongside Jacques for three years and learned the traditional style that Gagnard-Delagrange is known for. Most of the vineyards of Gagnard-Delagrange have been handed down to their two daughters. The domaine, however, retains 7.4 acres of premier crus in Chassagne-Montrachet as well as two small parcels that Marie-Josèphe tends herself: Chassagne Village and a small vineyard of Passetoutgrain called Les Farges. Chassagne-Montrachet lies towards the southern end of the Côte de Beaune and is famous for its white wines, although half of its total plantings are in red. The wines from this village benefit from ideal exposure and limestone soils.

Xavier Monnot Meursault 'Le Limozin' 2022

Xavier Monnot is a leading producer in Meursault whose winemaking style emphasizes purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity. Prior to the release of the 2005 vintage, the property was known as Domaine René Monnier (Xavier's grandfather). In 2005, along with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, Xavier began bottling his wines under his own label. Domaine Xavier Monnot is a 42-acre estate in Meursault with vineyards stretching from Beaune to Maranges. 60% of the Domaine's production is white and 40% red with several premier crus in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Volnay, and Maranges. Xavier believes in maintaining an average vine age of 30 to 40 years and practices lutte raisonnée (“reasoned struggle”). Le Limozin is a lieu-dit situated just below the Meursault premier cru Les Genevrières and is named after a stream that used to flow near the vineyards. It is one of several lieux-dits in Meursault that perform above their official “village” level status. Le Limozin typically gives a wine that is broad and expansive thanks to a mix of clay and limestone soil and Monnot’s old vines (planted in 1961 and 1976) deliver an especially concentrated version. Aged from 12 to 14 months in 15-20% percent new French oak.

Grivot Vosne-Romanee 2018

Domaine Jean Grivot is among the great names in Burgundian wine. Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987.

Jean Grivot’s 38.3 acres spread across 22 appellations with vineyards in the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Besides the three grand crus, there are 8 premier crus including the much lauded Les Beaux Monts and Suchots in Vosne-Romanée. The grapes are completely de-stemmed and fermentation is spontaneous.

Chateau l'Eperonniere Savennieres'Croix Picot'

The vineyards lie hard on the banks of the Loire River and are frequently covered in an early morning mist. The soil is almost exclusively composed of schist which renders a classic Savennieres: rigorous, bone-dry, with an intense minerality to the finish. The grapes are harvested manually and then are fermented in barrel using only indigenous yeasts. The élevage is also in barrel, none of which are new. The wine never undergoes the malolactic fermentation. Bottling occurs 12 months after the harvest.

The palate runs with a stately roll of red stone fruits, lovely engagement thanks to its stylish gras, its spherical shape most appealing. The balance is good. This is Châteauneuf of terroir, no make-up added, is a very bonny Grenache-inspired wine, has smoky, tobacco, menthol tones late on.

Eight months oak aging brings out a bit of baking spices and a more serious weight and texture still met by lasting acidity. Made with zero sulfur and via natural fermentation, the characteristics of this are unmistakably Chardonnay, just seen through a very distinct lens.

Boxler Pinot Blanc Reserve

Here is ample proof that in the right terroir, Pinot Blanc is capable of producing grand cru wine in Alsace. Planted in the granite of the great Brand vineyard, this parcel is always bottled separately from the rest of the Boxler Pinot Blanc holdings. It produces a wine with the type of consistency from year to year that is a hallmark of grand cru sites: seasonal excesses are smoothed. The result is an intensely stony, dry, regal Pinot Blanc that can age and improve alongside the domaine’s Sylvaner, Muscat, Riesling, and Pinot Gris bottlings.

Renardiere 'Jurassique' Chardonnay

The commune of Pupillin is home to the estate and vineyards of Domaine de la Renardière. Here, vigneron Jean-Michel Petit farms and vinifies a range of red and white wines that are arguably some of the best wines in the Jura. The domaine was established in 1990 and presently encompasses 7.5 hectares of vineyards. Half of Jean-Michel’s production is devoted to red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and half to white wine (mostly chardonnay, with a bit of Savagnin). Since 2003 all vineyard practices and applications have been organic. The domaine acheived organic certification in 2012. In the cellar, Jean-Michel adheres to traditional methods of winemaking. Fermentation takes place via native yeasts, and sulfur additions are only utilized when deemed necessary. Elevage takes place in foudres for the red wines, and a combination of older barrique and foudre for the white wines.

Hubert Lamy St Aubin 1er 'Derriere chez Edouard' 2013

Founded by Hubert in the mid-1970s, Olivier's arrival in 1995 to the winemaking team elevated the property to the heights it has reached today. Located in Saint-Aubin, Olivier stopped selling the family's grapes to negociants and focused on elevating each and every plot the family owned. With this effort and the inclusion of several high-density plantings, the Lamy name today is synonymous with class, precision and ultimate elegance. In the vineyards, all practices are organic and tireless in their efforts. The experiments of high-density plantings in 0.10-hectare sized plots within Chez Edouard (Saint-Aubin) and Les Tremblots. (Puligny) at 28-30,000 vines per hectare were incredibly successful and represent the pinnacle of Olivier's work ethic. In the cellar, there is very little time wasted, with the grapes pressed from their skins immediately, and the barrels have become larger to deemphasize the impact of oak, allowing the freshness to shine through. Reds and whites are fermented in different cellars to allow whites to ferment slower within a cooler cellar, creating a wine of impeccable class and structure. Reds are always de-stemmed and allowed to soak prior to fermentation, prior to 12-18 months' aging.

They fully capture the charm Saint-Aubin can deliver, at a quality-to-price ratio that will make other Burgundies red in the face. This premier cru bottling masterfully showcases the “noble reduction” that winemakers and consumers chase after, starting on an enticing hint of gunflint that gradually opens to hedonistic notes of butter and toast, remaining taut and poised throughout. It’s simply hard not to like.

Emmanuelle Mellot Pinot Noir

In 1513, the records of Sancerre mention the Mellot family. The Mellot family, vinegrowers ad wine merchants, was again mentioned during the siege of the town. They pursued their patient labors and continued to gain recognition because César Mellot was appointed as Wine Advisor to Louis XIV in 1698. At the beginning of the 19th century, Alphonse Mellot founded a tavern in Sancerre where one could savor the local wines and so began the flourishing trade that was to continue. In 1881, he was granted a license to ship his wine throughout France and all over the world. This marked the beginning of a pacific conquest which has been pursued and developed by the family business from father to son ever since, with the eldest son continuing to bear the name of the founder Alphonse. Today, this century old winemaking tradition is perpetuated by Alphonse Mellot Jr, the 19th to bear the name.

Mas Guallar 'Oaristys' Syrah

Mas Guallar, founded by Chilean winemaker Camila Opazo in 2019, is a boutique winery located in Tautavel in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Camila’s journey began at 18 when she moved to Bordeaux and fell in love with winemaking during an internship at a Grand Cru in Pessac-Léognan. Her studies in oenology, with a specialization in sparkling wine, took her to Spain, where she embraced organic and biodynamic farming. After gaining hands-on experience in vineyards across Chile, New Zealand, Spain, and France, she was drawn to the unique terroirs of the Pyrénées-Orientales, where she established Mas Guallar.

Pesnot Folle Blanche

The Folle Blanche grape that is typically used to make Cognac, has very thin skin and problems reaching optimum ripeness. The AOC authorizes 78 hl/ha and 300kg/ha of sugar added, so most producers don’t wait for this optimum natural ripeness and take the easy (although resulting in bland flavor) way. Marc Pesnot, on the contrary, harvests his grapes when they are ripe, helped by lowering the yields – sometimes as low as 8hl/ha – and caring for the vines organically. Vineyard: 90+ years old vines on schist, farmed organically by Marc and his team. Varieties: Folle Blanche (also known as Gros Plant). Making of: the grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, gently pressed and then fermented spontaneously in fiberglass tanks. They rest there for about the year, without racking or batonnage. Bottled unfined, with a bit of sulfur and a light filtration through terre diatomé. Tasting Notes: Pretty aromas of preserved lemons. Works beautifully with shellfish, grilled chicken, fish, hearty garden salads or simply by itself.

Terre de L'Elu Marco Polo Grolleau

Grolleau is a Loire native that’s become increasingly rare and is more commonly used in rosé or lighter, refreshing bistro-style reds like this one. From western Loire vineyards on sandstone soils, Charlotte and Thomas have crafted a wine that is fragrant with red berries, violet and a hint of spice. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied with soft tannins, lively acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. A fresh, elegant example with a delicate colour, best enjoyed with a subtle chill. Vinification: Grapes are harvested by hand and whole bunch fermentation gets underway using indigenous yeast. The wine is pressed and left to rest for a short time in stainless steel vats prior to bottling.

Maison en Belles Lies Monthelie Blanc

The Domain: After a long professional life in the fashion and garment industry in Paris, Pierre decided to follow his heart and moved to Burgundy to become a winemaker. -----> As is the way with biodynamics, the universe conspired to introduce Pierre to Rudolf Steiner through happenstance. He bought one of Steiner’s book on a whim at a Parisian flea market and thus began his journey from cloth to vine. This path included raising cows (to learn farming biodynamically) and “interning” with Trapet, Lapierre, and Emmanuel Giboulot. In 2002 he purchased his first 2.5 hectares of vines in Maranges and in the Haute Côtes de Beaune.-------> Pierre’s winery is located in Saint-Aubin and he now also rents and owns vines in Santenay, Monthelie, and Corton including a plot of Le Corton itself.-------> As for the name Belles Lies, it derives from a practice developed by 17th-century monks who would dry their barrels and rub them with the lees from the vintage. A fitting technique for a vigneron who is yielding pure, traditional translations of place

Mommessin Saint Amour Grandes Mises

This most Northern Cru bears a name which is gentle to the ear and to the heart. It is the wine of poets and lovers. If it did not exist, life would be a little less charming. The village of Saint Amour gives its name to this wine. Before that, a long time ago during Gallo-Roman times, a centurion named Amor suffered martyrdom. In all evidence, the ways of lovers, with their pleasures and sorrows, are rarely easy. Today, the wine of Saint Amour shows two faces, according to the soil composition and indeed the vinification technique.

Taupenot Merme Mazoyeres Chambertin GC 2021

Romain Taupenot is the ninth generation to run this family domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis. While records show his ancestors practiced viticulture as far back as the 17th century, the domaine as we know it today truly came to be after the marriage of Romain’s parents, Denise Merme and Jean Taupenot, in 1963. The domaine’s diverse vineyard sites across both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune can be traced back to this union of holdings from the Taupenot family, based in Saint-Romain, with those belonging to the Mermes, from Morey-Saint-Denis. Romain recalls helping out at the domaine as a child, assisting with harvest and selling his grandfather’s wines along the side of the route nationale to vacationers passing through Burgundy on their summer journey south. But his total integration into the family business would come much later, as he first pursued a career in finance following business studies in Paris. In 1998, he returned home to assume management of the domaine, which he now runs alongside his sister, Virginie. With 9 hectares in the Côte de Nuits and another 4.5 hectares in the Côte de Beaune, Romain and Virginie now produce nineteen different wines across seventeen appellations. A significant portion of their holdings are in premier cru and grand cru appellations, and all of their premiers crus are enviably placed. Old vines represent a significant proportion of the domaine’s holdings, with new plantings created from sélection massale cuttings of their best vines. Having farmed organically since 2001, the Taupenots seek to respect the character of each climat to yield wines of purity and grace that are faithful to their appellation of origin.

Lampyres 'Contre'Attaque' Grenache/Mourvedre

For the Mourvèdre – 75% underwent a 5-day whole cluster fermentation, and 25% was crushed and macerated for 5 days.

Only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts were used, and the wine remained on the fine lees until bottling. Aged 5 months in fiberglass tanks on the fine lees. Prior to bottling a low dose of sulfur is added to the wine. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Complex & inherently balanced. Jumps out of the glass with strawberries and raspberries on the nose, and evolves into an herbaceous, peppery finish.

Zest of Sas Moulin-a-Vent 'Burdelines'

A human story above all… We are two partners, Sylvie Matzkowski and Denis Falaize. By initial training, we are chemists and we worked together for more than 10 years in industry before launching our own business. Zest Of was born in 2021. The name of our domain is like a Best Of but with a Z; this Z serves as a link since we both have one in our last names. It's just a Z, but it represents a lot of us. It all started in Paris with a desire to learn more about wine and to be able to describe what we enjoyed tasting. Each of us followed the WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) program. We bought our first vines in Fleurie in 2018, three harvests before the previous owner's retirement. He taught us the basics of winemaking. In 2021, we acquired Moulin à Vent.

The estate has been family-owned since the French Revolution, and six generations of the Quenioux family have worked the land. Almost 30 years ago, Michel Quenioux and his wife Sylviane took the reins, and have transformed the estate into an archetype for organic and biodynamic farming in the region.

They pulled the vines after the 2006 vintage to replant the vineyard to Chardonnay, and Antoine has been looking for a way to make red wine again ever since. In August of 2019 Antoine was able to lease the vineyards of the Domaine André Mussy, a once-thriving domaine in Pommard. The vineyards are completely organic, having never seen chemicals, and Antoine spent a lot of time revitalizing them well in advance of the 2019 harvest–an effort that really shows in his brilliant first effort from these vines. He farms 6 hectares in all, featuring a collection of village and premier cru wines from Beaune, Volnay, and Pommard.

He was initially headquartered in the ancient prison dating back to the middle ages in picturesque but somewhat narrow cellars.

Francois de Nicolay Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Vermots'

Domaine Chandon de Briailles has been in the family since 1834. Initially, there were only the Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand-Verglesses vineyards. Coming from two mono-varietals (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) our wines strongly express the authenticity of their terroir. Our Grands Crus are cultivated in the traditional method with the use of our own plow horses that unpack and give oxygen to the soils. This allows the sub-soil micro-life beneath to help feed and give nutrients to our vines. Our philosophy is a holistic respect for life that translates to balanced, healthy grapes with the capacity to produce vibrant, pure, and seductive wines, so in 2005 we completely converted to biodynamic farming. We applied for certification with EcoCert and Demeter, which we received in 2011. The longer we continue farming in this way, we can see the difference in the vines. They grow differently; they seem more alive and healthy, and at harvest they are better balanced between acidity and aromas. We wanted to expand the effort beyond Chandon de Briailles, so came to be the Maison de Nicolay project. We purchase whole grapes and unfermented grape juice from neighboring vineyards that are certified biodynamic or in the process. After inspecting the grapes during veraison and harvest, we make a selection that can support elevage without added sulfur or yeasts- wines from pure grape must. The grapes ferment and mature in our Savigny Les Beaune cellar (a very old cave), without pumpover, filtration, or sulfur, and are bottled by hand via the “chevre a deux becs” method. In this way, we are able to preserve the wine’s freshness and allow the terroir to express itself clearly.

Thomas, an agricultural engineer by training, became enamored with viticulture during his studies. Once his formal education was complete, he traveled to Sonoma, Champagne, and Provence, supporting himself as a viticultural consultant while learning enology by working in various cellars.

Its perfumed nature continues on the palate, where this is fused with a smooth, firm phenolic frame and supple freshness.

Pinte Chateau-Chalon 2016

Founded in 1953 by Roger Martin, Domaine de la Pinte is found in the lieu-dit “La Pinte à la Capitaine” on the blue marl of Lias, at the heart of Arbois. Roger planted 14 hectares of Savagnin upon arrival, making it the largest grower of this varietal at the time. Today it's his son Pierre Martin who keeps the wheels turning. The domain has been extended to cover 34 hectares today (with 17 hectares of Savagnin, 6 of Chardonnay, 7 of Poulsard, 4 of Trousseau and Pinot noir), all planted across Arbois and Pupillin. Since 1999 the domain has been organic, and it took the step to biodynamics in 2009. The soils are ploughed only on the surface to avoid destructuring them; compost and manure are used to create a harmony between different elements of the earth. The harvests are carried out by hand. Once in the winery, the vinification begins with indigenous yeasts and sulphur is used in limited quantities. The wine is matured in casks, demi-muids, and foudre containers for a duration that depends on the varietals used and the cuvée being made. There is no new wood used to avoid marking the wine. This maturation occurs on fine lees with stirring that follows the lunar calendar. The result of all these efforts is certainly a good one, so this is a domain to discover in haste!

La Patience Red Blend

Domaine de La Patience counts among the very first wineries Jenny started to work with back in 2000 – and it has been an eventful path full of growth on both sides! Christophe had arrived at the helm of the family domain shortly before that in 1998, when he took over the vineyard from his father and gradually started to change things in multiple directions. The most important was the decision to go organic in 2007: “I realized I needed to stop poisoning myself with the chemical treatments we were using, as I felt worse and worse when working in the vineyards,” he recalls the concerns that led him to this decision, together with Jenny’s support of the move. Christophe also gradually grew the domaine from the original 15 hectares his family had: he now farms 100 hectares of organic-certified wines across the Costières de Nîmes and Coteaux du Pont du Gard, two neighboring AOCs with distinctive terroirs and a lingering scent of La Patience, the wild, aromatic Mediterranean herb that gave its name to the estate. “I’m really focused on the vineyards – the priority is to have beautiful vines and grapes, because then you have much less to do in the cellar. It really makes your life much easier. This is a journey that wouldn’t be possible without understanding your terroir first by seeing and feeling the link between what happens in the vineyard and then in the cellar.” Oh yes, the cellar – the beautiful stone building from 1930, keeping the wines cool, has undergone a significant shift as well. Christophe has progressively changed the vinification methods, working towards a less interventionist approach with significantly less additives. “It’s good to be a companion to what nature has given us,” he explains his vision of making delicious, reliable wines without overtly heavy manipulations. The cuvées that Christophe makes for Jenny & Francois come either from his own (organic certified), or purchased (sustainable / practicing organic) grapes and, depending on the wine, are made with indigenous or neutral yeast, vegan-friendly fining, light filtration and as little sulfur as possible.

Today, he vinifies his 10 hectares himself, much to our great happiness. A Savagnin specialist, François manages to express all his passion through the wine he produces, and this with a non-interventionist approach. His cuvées are single-parcel and coveted in all four corners of the world. Japanese wine enthusiasts are particular fans of Jura wine because of the ‘umami' flavour it is said to have.

Boxler Sylvaner

The recycling bin outside the average Alsatian household likely contains more empty bottles of Sylvaner than of “noble” Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat, and Gewurztraminer combined. It comes as no surprise: with unrivaled versatility at table and guaranteed mouthwatering abilities, the grape brings something new and fresh to the table. André Ostertag’s fine old-vine rendition, for example, provides utter satisfaction vintage after vintage, and Sylvaner has even achieved grand cru recognition in the Zotzenberg vineyard, a site more than capable of yielding long-lived whites that bear a rich complexity. Jean Boxler is another accomplished ambassador of the variety, and the remarkable finesse of his sleek, stony, apple blossom–scented bottling suggests that Sylvaner possesses some noble DNA of its own.

Built in the early 17th century, Château Pardaillan belonged to Louis d’Aulède de Pardaillan. Partly demolished during the French Revolution, it became the property of the Dupeyrat family, who gradually rebuilt it. The present-day château dates from 1802.

Since 1975, vines at Château Pardaillan have been tended with a very environmentally-friendly approach according to the principles of sustainable viticulture. The steep slope makes this vineyard particularly challenging to cultivate. Its clay-limestone soil is particularity rich in clay. Merlot thrives here, and expresses itself beautifully in a strong, elegant wine.

Boxler Pinot Noir

The small family domaine in France that works traditionally using techniques and savoir fairepassed down across multiple generations is under serious threat today. Consolidation, technology, regulation, foreign investment, globalization, and many other factors (all in the name of progress), threaten the great agricultural tradition of winegrowing in France, arguably the world’s greatest winegrowing culture. Few domaines in France embody this way of life more ably and proudly than Domaine Albert Boxler in Niedermorschwihr. Jean Boxler, many generations removed from his ancestor of the same name that moved here from Switzerland in 1673, currently rules the roost at this humble yet incredibly exciting domaine. Intense and serious about his land, his craft, and his wine, Jean is the genius behind what are certainly some of the finest white wines in Alsace (and the world).

Touraize Cremant de Jura

André-Jean (“A-J”) Morin is the eighth generation of Morin to tend the vine in Arbois, beginning with his ancestor Etienne in 1704, but the family enterprise nearly didn’t survive the calamitous 20th century. A-J’s grandfather Marius, deeply scarred by his years of service in the First World War, stopped producing wine in 1922 and sold off all his vineyards except for one tiny parcel: La Touraize. From this single plot, and against the advice of Marius, A-J’s father Michel began rebuilding the estate in the mid-1950s, and A-J joined him in 1985, during which time they sold their fruit to the local co-operative. In 2009, A-J left the co-operative, selling three of his 15 hectares to finance the construction of his winery, and today he and his wife Héléana bottle the entirety of their production under the Domaine de la Touraize label.

The fossil filled clay-limestone and sandstone slopes offer countless expositions and unique microclimates, perfect for crafting honest wines that showcase this unique terroir.

Benjamin Taillandier 'Oh Ma Jolie' Syrah

Benjamin stared his journey in the Caunes, Minervois in 2007 with just 6 hectares of vines. He has carefully added vineyards in both the black schist of the Coteaux above the village and the clay and limestone to the south. These two contrasting soils are reflected in the palette of colours in the wines, but there is no doubt that stylistically they are from the same cellar. Benjamin makes wines to enjoy, drink, and return to. He works the vineyards organically (with no chemical influence beyond sulphur) and uses infusion extraction processes in the cellar; eschewing the longer macerations, new oak and long aged wine that this region has come to champion. ---------> His cellar, in the village is in two buildings, one for the larger vats; and the original, smaller cave is where his amphora eggs and a few demi muid are kept for his more ‘serious’ wines. Benjamin has the look of a grafter, he does a good deal of the vineyard work himself and has a keen eye for detail when walking the vines, with intricate knowledge of each plot, each vine and which terroir works best with each variety. Eska is his biggest worry at the moment, but he has a careful and well thought out plan to cope with it (it can’t be eradicated) and is busy planting new vineyards with varieties that he feels will cope with the warming globe e.g. Terret Gris and Grenache Gris.

J Lassalle Brut Rose NV

A tiny dose of red wine [6%] creates a gorgeous pale salmon hue, enlivening a dainty and fresh rose with a fairy touch of rose petal perfume that wafts from the start of the bouquet to the lingering finish of the palate. Lively strawberry hull and elegant red cherry fruits are invigorated by bright acidity and gentle minerality, meshing seamlessly with soft dosage.

Gagnepain Risoul Boomerang Syrah

This low-intervention red wine is a pure expression of syrah crafted by winemakers Gagnepain and Risoul in southern France. Sourced from small, sustainably worked parcels, the fruit grows on stony terraces that naturally restrict vine yields. The winemaking utilizes spontaneous native yeast fermentation inside neutral vessels to capture raw varietal freshness without chemical corrections. Aged naturally on its fine lees before an unfiltered bottling, it preserves an authentic regional identity. It pours a translucent ruby-purple color, opening with expressive aromatics of wild blackberry, fresh plum, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the light-to-medium body is juicy and direct, balancing crunchy dark fruit with a fine-grained tannin structure. Savory nuances of wild thyme, black olive, and smoked meat develop across the fluid mouthfeel. A clean wave of natural acidity runs through the center, keeping the texture refreshed. It finishes bone-dry, leaving a lingering trace of graphite.

Hubert Lamy Santenay 'Clos de Hates' 2014

Founded by Hubert in the mid-1970s, Olivier's arrival in 1995 to the winemaking team elevated the property to the heights it has reached today. Located in Saint-Aubin, Olivier stopped selling the family's grapes to negociants and focused on elevating each and every plot the family owned. With this effort and the inclusion of several high-density plantings, the Lamy name today is synonymous with class, precision and ultimate elegance. In the vineyards, all practices are organic and tireless in their efforts. The experiments of high-density plantings in 0.10-hectare sized plots within Chez Edouard (Saint-Aubin) and Les Tremblots. (Puligny) at 28-30,000 vines per hectare were incredibly successful and represent the pinnacle of Olivier's work ethic. In the cellar, there is very little time wasted, with the grapes pressed from their skins immediately, and the barrels have become larger to deemphasize the impact of oak, allowing the freshness to shine through. Reds and whites are fermented in different cellars to allow whites to ferment slower within a cooler cellar, creating a wine of impeccable class and structure. Reds are always de-stemmed and allowed to soak prior to fermentation, prior to 12-18 months' aging.

Saint Cosme Condrieu

Château de Saint Cosme is the leading estate of Gigondas and produces the benchmark wines of the appellation. The property has been in the hands of the Barruol family since 1490. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992 making a dramatic shift to quality and converting to biodynamics in 2010. The estate lies in the heart of Gigondas where 15 hectares of vineyard grow in the shade of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountain. In addition to the estate-grown wines labeled “Château de Saint Cosme,” Louis Barruol buys grapes from contracted growers, labeling these “négociant” wines simply as “Saint Cosme.” Saint Cosme Condrieu is produced from fully-ripened Viognier which Louis Barruol believes is essential to achieving the variety’s full potential. “But ripeness must not imply excessive alcohol,” says Barruol, “We seek balance.” The wine is matured for eight months in used 228-liter barrels and undergoes full malolactic fermentation on fine lees for 12 months.

Oxymore 'Songe Eveille' Savagnin/Chard

Oxymore is a collaboration between brothers-in-law and Jura natives, Guilhem Henriot and Rémi Thomas. Guilhem studied enology in Burgundy while also working as a sommelier at the popular La Maison du Colombier in Beaune. After his studies, Guilhem returned to the Jura for an apprenticeship with Francois Rousset-Martin, one of the Jura’s preeminent vignerons. Rémi, a middle school history and geography teacher, soon joined his brother-in-law at Francois Rousset-Martin. Over the next 3 years, the duo honed their skills in the vineyards and cellar of this legendary Domaine. Guilhem and Rémi had always hoped to make their own wine, and in 2022 they launched Oxymore in their home village of Domblans, just 5km west of Château-Chalon. The inaugural vintage was a purely négociant operation with organic grapes sourced from Jura (Maison des Saules), Beaujolais (Domaine Oedipoda), and Alsace (Célia Immele). In early 2023, Guilhem and Rémi purchased 2.64 hectares not far from the Domaine in the villages of Château-Chalon, Nevy-Sur-Seille, Perrigny-Conliège, and Bréry. These established parcels are planted with Chardonnay (45%), Savagnin (35%), and Poulsard (20%). Organic certification started in 2024, and the duo employs many biodynamic and homeopathic remedies to avoid overuse of copper and sulfur sprays. All grapes, domaine and négociant, are harvested and pressed by hand. In the cellar, only indigenous yeasts are utilized with the aim of obtaining pure fermented grape juices faithful to the terroir. Sulfur is rarely, if ever, used but the duo is not dogmatic about the application of sulfur.

Bruno Colin Santenay Vieilles Vignes 2021

Michel Colin was the third generation in his family to grow grapes in Burgundy within the prestigious Côte de Beaune. When he retired in 2003, he handed the property over to his sons, Philippe and Bruno, who split the holdings between them to bottle under separate labels. Bruno farms eight hectares of land, in thirty different parcels scattered over five communes, with sometimes as little as just a few rows per parcel. To farm under these circumstances is quintessentially Burgundian, where the old Napoleonic codes of inheritance (evolved from Roman law) divide property equally among offspring. Parcels farmed by any one family continue to get smaller and smaller as they are distributed among relatives. He bottles Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, and Maranges. In the old family winery in the center of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, he vinifies over twenty cuvées separately, more than half of which are premier cru! He uses traditional vinification methods and ages his wines anywhere from twelve to eighteen months in barrel, though he tends to vinify each parcel in a similar fashion. Bruno’s style shows beautiful balance, both aromatically and texturally, while showcasing the delicate minerality and nuanced complexity of each vineyard.

The Domaine's Grands Crus are matured in oak barrels (80% new barrels) made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins. When young, it is characterised by its raspberry red to deep garnet colour. Its full-bodied bouquet is reminiscent of black fruit, liquorice, spices, with woody and leather hints. On the palate, melted wood slightly dominates aromas of black fruit, truffle, anise and cherry. The intense, powerful and precise tannins of this Grand Cru accompany a long, unctuous finish.

Eric Bordelet 'Argelette' Sydre

Eric Bordelet's Sydre Argelette is his Grand Cru cider - the most superior and excellent blend from his cider production. Bordelet was a trained Sommelier before he took over the reins of the nearly 50-acre orchard on his family's domain in 1992. The orchard, which is located near Charchigné, in Hauteville, is cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods. This domain's cider production is exceptional, and Eric's Sydre Argelette is the epitome of his excellent quality. Argelette is an ancient name for the red, iron pebbles prominent in the soil around Eric Bordelet's orchard. This complex cider is made annually using the same blend of apples, including several bitter varieties, as well as sweet, and tangy apple varieties. The identical blend used annually will still result in nuanced differences in each vintage courtesy of the climate and other terroir differences each growing season.

Eric Bordelet Sidre

A sommelier by training, in 1992 Eric took over his family's estate and orchards. His goal was to revolutionize the cider industry and bring it into restaurants, high-end retail and export markets. A close friend of his, Didier Dagueneau, the icon wine-maker in Pouilly-sur-Loire encouraged him down the path of producing ciders from apples and pears that are like no others. Ciders that make one draw comparisons to fine vintage wine. The core of Bordelet's estate is the 1.5 hectares of antique varietal apple and pear trees that are 40-50 years old. He plants only true varietal (non-hybrid, non-cross) trees, and the trees are balanced between sweet, bitter and sour varieties. Currently, he has 20 varieties of apples and 14 varieties of pears planted. The orchards are farmed organically and biodynamically, and Eric believes that this is the regimen that produces the best fruit for ciders.

Claque-Pepin Pear Cider

The name Claque-Pépin comes from a type of apple variety, which when ripe, rattles when shaken. The name translates to the seeds (pepin) which rattle (claque). The property is located in the Normandie region, nestled between the Domfrontais and the Pays d’Auge, in the 17th century farm next to the ancient chateau of Serans, formerly the family estate of the Louvet family. Claque-Pépin officially began 13 years ago. However, owner Benoît Louvet has been immersed in the world of distilling and ageing for many years. He began his “apprenticeship” fairly young with his grandfather Vital. After working for a few other Calvados producers as cellar master, he decided to start his own artisanal production and perpetuate the art of making Calvados, cider, and traditional apéritifs, while respecting the Normand tradition and the environment.

Tournelle Macvin de Jura

Macvin is a traditional Jura “Vin de Liqueur”, made of spirit – home-distilled Marc du Jura (using the domaine’s grape pomace) and fresh Chardonnay juice. Making of: the Chardonnay grapes are pressed and then settled for 12 hours and then blended with the Marc that has been aged 3 years in barrels (2/3 juice, 1/3 Marc). The blend is then aged for 24 to 36 months in barrels. (Way longer than the AOC requirement which is 12 months.) Bottled without filtering and without sulfites, at around 17% ABV. -------------> Personality: juicy, succulent aperitif, marrying vibrant acidity of the Chardonnay juice with the richness of residual sugar (180–220g/l). Serve well-chilled as an aperitif; perfect also at the end of the meal, with cheeses or apple-based or spicy desserts.

Only 6000 bottles were produced. The color is very clear, like water with the palest lemon hue. Aromas were soft and airy, with grass, minerals, lemon pith, white petals and yellow cherry. On the tongue the wine shows stone, yellow and orange stone fruits, salt, and herbs. Well-placed, medium-toned acidity works with the faintest of a tannic bite under the tongue. My last glass of the wine, maybe 12 hours after opening, was that of sea salt, smoke, and just-squeezed lime juice. It is only 11.5% in alcohol, by the way. A stunning bottle of wine.

Garon St. Joseph Marsanne

One of the Rhône Valley's oldest families of vignerons, the Garons trace their roots in Ampuis to 1485. After generations of farming and selling grapes, Jean-François and Carmen Garon began reclaiming the family's abandoned Côte-Rôtie terraces during the 1980s, replanting historic vineyards before bottling their first estate wines in 1995. After studying viticulture and oenology, their sons, Kévin and Fabien, joined the domaine in 2000 and steadily expanded the estate from just two hectares to more than twenty hectares under vine and contract. Today, the family farms highly coveted, steep granite, gneiss and schist terraces in Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage and Seyssuel. Kévin's objective is balance above all else: ripe fruit without excess, silky tannins, freshness, and long, linear palates that reflect each vineyard site and the growing season. Partial whole-cluster fermentation, gentle extraction on the reds, and restrained use of new oak allow each vineyard and appellation to retain its own voice.

The defining features of Terrebrune’s terroir are its direct proximity to the Mediterranean, in the path of cooling sea breezes, and the distinctive soil from which the vines emerge—reddish clay over fissured limestone from the Triassic era, extremely rare in Bandol. Both contribute to the house style: these are lean, taut, and focused wines of great elegance capable of long-term aging.

Pagure les Terres Vagabondes Chardonnay

An hour northwest of Arbois, the village of Vuillafans sits tucked into the heart of the Vallée de la Loue, where steep, limestone slopes rise dramatically above the Loue river. Here, Hugo Courvoisier farms just over 3 hectares of Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, crafting crystalline, terroir-driven wines from this isolated Jura satellite. Hugo grew up in northern Jura, a place where the raising of cattle for Comté production is more common than vineyards. Both of his grandfathers farmed cattle for cheesemaking—one also distilled spirits, while the other tended a small parcel of vines in the lower Jura and made a little wine. Some of his earliest childhood memories are of harvesting grapes and tending cattle. However, his early path seemed far removed from wine—he initially studied computer science—yet the pull of the land and the region’s agricultural traditions kept calling him back. Determined to change course, he enrolled in viticulture and enology school in Burgundy, where he immersed himself in both the technical foundations of winemaking and the philosophy of terroir expression. Reflecting on his abrupt career shift, Hugo explains: “I have always loved wine and the agricultural world—free, independent—a job where you start with cultivating the vines and follow through to creating the wine. Superb.”

Beru Athenais 'Celeste'

Athénaïs of Chateau de Beru is one of the most discussed producers in Burgundy today. Coming from a domain with 400 years in the making, she leads the current generation of this property. The chateau has certainly experienced its ups and downs. As phylloxera devastated the family’s vines, new ones were not planted for almost 100 years. The fruit was sold to other Chablis co-ops up until 2004 when the death of Athena’s father happened. She traveled back to the domaine to assist her mother, Laurence. It was then that she began incorporating all sorts of changes. The family began bottling their wine, converted agriculture over to biodynamic, and opted to intervene minimally in the winemaking. The reputation is only improving and Beru has become known for their Chablis wines. ‘Athenais’ is the name of her negociant project, though still intertwined with the family domain

Jean-Yves Peron 'Champ Levat' Mondeause

Born and raised in the Savoie, Jean-Yves studied winemaking in Bordeaux in the late 90’s. After school he spent some time working for Thiery Allemand in Cornas and later with Bruno Schuller in Alsace, both of whom he considers his mentors. In 2004 he returned to the Savoie and began making his own wine in the village of Chevaline on schist-covered sloping vineyards running anywhere between 350 and 550 meters. In some ways working vineyards at these altitudes in the Alps, on slopes this steep is more like mountain climbing than winemaking, but Jean-Yves believes that the opportunity to work with vines over 100 years old on this ancient terroir is more than worth it. While Jean-Yves works organically and biodynamically he doesn’t see the need for any certification, preferring to let the wine speak for itself. The estate is divided into several micro-parcels containing Mondeuse, Jacquere, Altesse, and Roussanne.

Gachot Monot Chambolle-Musigny 2021

The wines of Gachot-Monot represent some of the best values in the KLWM portfolio – not because they are the least expensive, but because they offer an outstanding price-to-quality ratio. Damien Gachot may work the vineyards of the lesser known Côtes de Nuits Villages appellation, but he works his vines as if they were premier cru fruit from Nuits-Saint-Georges. This fifth-generation vigneron and his Danish wife, Lise, farm twelve hectares in the village of Corgoloin, in between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune. They first came to Kermit’s attention via a trusted source—the master of La Tâche himself, Aubert de Villaine—and it certainly doesn’t hurt that Damien also received an endorsement from his friend, Bertrand Chevillon, either. Ever-smiling and tireless in his work, Damien was first saluted by the Hospices de Beaune as a young talent to be watched. We have been proud to import his wine since the 2000 vintage.

Pierre Gelin Chambertin 'Clos de Beze' Grand Cru 2020

Domaine Pierre Gelin is the leading wine producer in the small village of Fixin (pronounced “Fees-an”). The family domaine was founded in 1925 by Pierre Gelin and is today in the hands of Pierre’s grandson, Pierre-Emmanuel. Pierre-Emmanuel farms organically and works to minimize the impact on the environment in both vineyard and cellar. The family owns 32 acres in total including parcels in five Fixin premier crus and the monopole of Clos Napoléon. In 1961 Pierre also purchased vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin including the monopole Clos de Meixvelle, Clos Prieur 1er cru, and the Grand Cru Clos de Bèze. Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is said to have been named in 630 CE after it became the property of the Abbey of Bèze. It is, in effect, an extension of Chambertin. Clos de Bèze may be sold as Chambertin but wine from Chambertin proper may not be sold as Clos de Bèze. The differences between the two vineyards is subtle. Clos de Bèze is exposed a bit more to the east and receives slightly more sun and ripens slightly earlier. Both Grand Crus drain well and sit on a bed of limestone.

Zind-Humbrecht 'Rangen de Thann' Clos St Urbain

The Rangen Grand Cru is located in the south of Alsace and therefore enjoys a higher altitude (the Rhine River runs north!). The valley of the Thur River that runs directly under the Clos Saint-Urbain is narrow and deep. All these factors explain why this site is in fact late ripening with a budbreak and flowering aften 2 weeks or more later than Turckheim. However, the steep south facing slope and dark volcanic rocks allows this vineyard to catch up later in the season. The Rangen also benefits from higher rainfall (750mm versus only 500 in Turckheim) which is in fact beneficial for a soil that has an exceptional drainage capacity. The volcanic ash was compacted under the see about 350 million years ago. It is rich in specific minerals (magnesium) and does influence a lot the flavour of the wines. The 2022 vintage shows a balance that is quite dry and tense for a very warm and solar vintage. It can be explained by the fact that Thann enjoys a climate that can be quite different from the rest of Alsace.

Zind-Humbrecht Muscat

The Muscat Petit grain (called Muscat d’Alsace in our region) has proven to be well adapted to the warmer climate of the recent vintages. Both colours (red and white produce a white wine) are planted on the gravelly/silt alluvial soil near the winery. Physiological ripeness is very important in order to avoid excessive varietal characteristics. The climate of Turckheim is therefore well adapted as the grapes reach an ideal ripeness at a lower alcohol potential, allowing the wine to ferment quickly completely dry. It’s natural elegance and lightness make it so easy to enjoy young.

Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris

This wine originates from the gravelly and sandy loam soils left by the glaciers and the river Fecht running down the Munster Valley. We recently could see that Pinot-Gris was more resistant to both winter and spring frost, but it appears that it is a little more resistant to drought. The vines do turn yellow as fast as Riesling or Gewurztraminer, but the vines are able to ripen the grapes better, with less crop loss in proportion as well. Pinot-Gris is the grape that will eventually rot the fastest and earlier, so it is crucial to harvest it at the right moment. This is always the first vineyard harvested on the domaine.

Markus Molitor Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett Riesling

Vineyard: The Ürziger Würzgarten site is traditionally considered to be a specialty among the Middle Mosel vineyards because of its red iron-rich soil, which is mixed with fine slate. This gives the wines grown here a totally different character, with spice and opulent fruit as well as a crisp, hearty backbone, which produces a tremendously full bodied wine when combined with a hint of residual sugar

Karthauserhof 'Bruno' Feinherb

Karthäuserhof is one of the great estates of Germany, with a complex and storied history that dates back centuries. Carthusian monks founded the property, a Hof, or working farm, in 1335, making it one of the oldest estates in Europe (the 8th oldest in the world, according to them). Recent findings, dating back to Roman times, show that a settlement with viticulture likely existed at Karthäuserhof even before the establishment of the monastery. Much like its neighbor, Maximin Grünhaus, wine was made and consumed by the monks continually for almost 500 years. Following secularization under Napoleon, Karthäuserhof was auctioned off in Paris in 1811. Valentin Leonardy, a Francophile, bought the estate and the property has been in the same family since, first as the Rautenstrauchs, then as the Tyrells and now as the Behler family. The jewel in the crown here is the famed Karthäuserhofberg vineyard, a 19-hectare monopole site all in one block, with a mostly south and southwest-facing exposition. The site, on the right bank of the Ruwer, is open to the west, closed to the east and consists of reddish soil covered with weathered gray slate. It's an iron-rich soil which is ideal for wine. The vineyard is planted almost entirely to Riesling on original rootstock. The Karthäuserhofberg vineyard has obviously been highly regarded for centuries and is featured in the famed Prussian Saar und Mosel Weinbau-Karte of 1868, a tax map for the district of Trier, where it is listed under the name Kartauserberg. Karthäuserhof produces a range of styles, from prädikat level Kabinetts, Spatlesen and Auslesen, to off-dry feinherb wines, to their famed Grosses Gewächs trocken wines. The wines are known for the ability to age and maintain a remarkable freshness throughout. The style at Karthäuserhof, especially with the trocken wines, emphasizes a classic interplay of minerality, acidity and fruit, that creates a breathtaking energy and an almost electric tension.

We take great care to pre-pick the steep Riesling vineyards several times. Only the healthy and most mature grapes remain on the vines. The grapes continue to ripen until they reach a natural potential alcohol level of 11-11,5 % by vol . From these very ripe and golden yellow grapes we make the much celebrated: Gold-Quadrat.

There’s a section that contains the gently undulating hills of Heidelberg, and another with the Kaiserstuhl massif that rises high above the Rhine Valley. The center of the region is full of vineyards edging the Black Forest. The diversity of wine variety is more than just a reflection of the zeitgeist, but rather the natural result of real climatic and geological differences.

Becker Family Pinot Noir

For many years now, the Becker estate located in Schweigen, very far south of the Pfalz on the border of Alsace, has been one of the top Pinot Noir producers in Germany. The best Becker Pinot Noirs compare favorably with the best Burgundy has to offer. In 1973 when Fritz Sr. took over the estate from his father, he stopped selling grapes to the local co-op and started bottling and selling his own wines. He was also one of the first that independently, but in parallel with Dr. Heger, Fürst and Meyer-Näkel, started using barriques for his Pinots. In the beginning he was very frustrated trying to successfully in his words “transferring the gift of nature into fine wine”, as his colleagues in France had been doing for many years. In 2005 Fritz Jr. took over the winemaking at the estate and his father continued to oversee the outside vineyard work. In 2007, the Beckers started to work with lower must weights more in the range from 92-98 Öchsle rather than previously with 100 Öchsle or more. They learned that physiologically ripe fruit needs acid more than additional sugar.

Steintal 'Buntsandstein' Pinot Noir

The first thing to know about the Steintal wines is that all the vineyards are classified, so even this basic wine has pedigree. As the name suggests, the soil is red sandstone, exclusively farmed biodynamically. Often, entry-level German pinot noir displays fruitiness but lacks the structure to go with it. This is not the case with Steintal’s wines. The wine is produced entirely in large neutral oak barrels from the local Klingenberg forest with native yeasts and an elevage of 18 months.

Schafer Frohlich Pinot Blanc

100% Weisser Burgunder (Pinot Blanc) from the Nahe. Produced from an 18 year old estate vineyard in Bockenau, planted to red slate soil, the 2022 Weisser Burgunder is vinified in a mix stainless steel and neutral oak, with malolactic fermentation blocked to keep the final wine fresh and crisp. Sweet melon, white peach, lemon balm, and lemon zest aromatics waft from the glass, while a gentle acid harmonizes with a mineral backbone for a long, tantalizing finish. Consider pouring a glass of this creamy and complex wine alongside tempura (shrimp and vegetable), aioli dolloped crab cakes, or a comforting quiche Lorraine. The Schäfer-Fröhlich winery was founded in the 1970s when two families, melded through marriage, lay the groundwork for what would become one of the most renowned wineries in Nahe. Currently the winery is helmed by 9th generation, winemaker Tim Fröhlich, helping put the village of Bockenau (a subregion of the Nahe) where it is based, on the map. The dedication of Tim and his team is evident as some of the vineyards are so steep (up to 70 percent incline) that farming and harvest must be done by hand. The arrayed vineyard soils are characteristic and, without getting too “in the weeds” include: volcanic porphyry (a coarse pinkish-red), Blue Devonian slate (yes, it is blue and very pretty), blue slate, red slate, and quartz, all of which help create powerful, expressive, and racy wines.

Ligas Roditis

Since ancient times, the region of Pella situated in northern Greece, was associated with wine making and described as ” the mother of wine, where vines abound”. The god of wine, wreathed in vine leaves in these extraordinary mosaics, seems to have found fertile, hallowed ground here in Pella. The region has always been host to great vineyard with a long tradition. It was here that the tragic poet Euripides wrote and staged his last play, Bacchae. The Church of the Virgin Mary, the Panaghia at Yannitsa was built in 1861 using wine to mix the mortar, as the othoman governor had forbidden the use of water for building the church. It was to this region that the French army, camped by the Galikos River in the early 20th century, came in search of quality wine. Grape diseases (phyloxera) and other factors, such as the drainage of the nearby lake, unfortunately made farmers turn to other crops. Yet, the know-how and love inspired by vineyards in this land for thousands of years were far from forgotten. Having studied oenology in France, Thomas Ligas began, in 1985, to study the local ecosystems, exploring viticulture and vinification, and seeking to accentuate the distinctive qualities of this terroir. “The gentle slopes of Pella enjoy bountiful sun and air. Our vines draw strength from the loamy sand, limey and well-drained soil, which we keep fluffy and rested, preserving the natural turf. Producing nourishing natural ingredients, the vibrant microcosm that grows in harmonious equilibrium in the soil requires the vine for a balanced development. This natural approach to viticulture, which goes beyond organic farming, preserves the typical original characteristics of the grape intact as determined by the vineyard. Our intervention goes hand in hand with natural growth, without imposition, and aims to safeguard the health and maturity of the grapes, seeking an ideal balance between quality and quantity. Preventive intervention, always in accordance with the principles of organic viticulture, minimises the need for remedial treatment. The grape varieties that we grow to produce our wines are Roditis, Assyrtiko, Kydonitsa for white, and Xinomavro, Limniona or red. All picking is done by hand from mid-August to late September.

100% Agiorgitiko. Fresh aromas and flavors of strawberry and cherry. Bright and refreshing. Light-bodied and dry with juicy acidity. Lingering finish. Serve chilled. A beautiful aperitif! Pairs with appetizers of all kinds. Perfect with seafood. From the Zacharias family’s own vineyards in the Nemea Valley, Corinth, and Peloponnese Greece. The first Zacharias vineyards were planted in 1962 around the village of Leontio where wine has been produced for centuries. They are mainly on slopes and today cover about 100 acres of land. The winery combines harmonically traditional elements and state of the art technology. The history of both the family’s winery and vineyards dates back many years. Zacharias Vineyards is the largest private winery of its region and carries a rich historical past. One of the oldest and most historic wineries in Nemea, it has been operating since 1960. It is now one of the major wineries of the region as well as one of the fastest growing companies in the wine industry. The heart of Nemea vineyards, located just over a mile outside the city of Nemea on the provincial road, is facing the hill where the acropolis of ancient Fliounda used to dominate. In ancient times, the area gave its name to the famous fliassios oenos, or wine from Fliassia country (Nemea).

The bunches, which come mainly from the Il Prato and Le Masse vineyards lying at between 470 and 655 meters above sea level, underwent optical berry selection. After delicate pressing, the must began fermentation, with maceration on the skins for approximately 12 days at a temperature of 24-26°C as well as periodic pumping over and délestage in order to obtain optimum extraction of the anthocyanins and tannins. During the following spring, the wine was put into casks to mature for at least two years prior to the final assemblage and bottling.

The vineyards at Montenidoli are relatively high, between 400 and 700 meters, with soils and microclimate that are actually suited to both white and red grapes. The vineyards for her Sangiovese are planted at the highest elevations, with iron-rich soils and a base of limestone. Interestingly, in many of the vineyards, there are marine fossils strewn throughout, much like you find in Chablis, as well as huge blocks of white limestone that have been excavated from the vineyards. In fact, it is this marine sediment & limestone that ultimately led her to realize the potential of the property for white wine, as in the beginning, Montenidoli produced only red.

Vietti Timorasso

Grapes from the single vineyard "Boscogrosso" located on the top of the hill that acts as a watershed between the municipalities of Monleale and Volpeglino, with west/south-west exposure. The soil is calcareous-clayey and the altitude is 310 m. a.s.l. The vines are cultivated with the Guyot system, with a density of about 4,500 plants per hectare. The total area is about 2 hectares. Winemaking: fermentation, lasting about 4 weeks, takes place partly in ceramic, partly in wooden vats and partly in steel. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out. Ageing: 16 months in total between ceramic, wooden and steel vats in contact with the fine lees and a further 12 months in the bottle. Description: in the glass it is clear, intense yellow in color. Complex hints emerge on the nose, creating a pleasant combination of freshness and pleasantness, with ethereal notes of hydrocarbons, floral notes like hawthorn and sweet notes such as honey. On the palate it is broad, fresh, mineral, complex and very persistent.

Dry and well-structured on the palate, it shows fresh, balanced acidity with a subtle, pleasantly bitter finish.

Bolzano Muller-Thurgau

This vibrant alpine white is a pure expression of 100% Müller-Thurgau, a grape variety that finds its ideal home in the cool, high-altitude vineyards of Northern Italy. Sourced from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of the Alto Adige DOC, specifically within the Isarco Valley and Renon areas, the vines are planted at impressive elevations ranging from 600 to 800 meters above sea level. The terroir is characterized by loose, gravelly soils interspersed with porphyry and red clay, which contribute to the wine's structural integrity and mineral edge. The 2023 vintage in South Tyrol was defined by a mix of weather conditions, where a warm and sunny autumn proved critical; this late-season sunshine allowed the grapes to achieve full aromatic maturity while the drastic diurnal temperature shifts preserved the vital natural acidity.

Today, Ioppa remains a family affair, as the only full-time workers are Giorgio Ioppa, the surviving member of the sixth generation (his brother, Gianpiero passed in 2016), who carries the legacy of this historic winery with his sons, Andrea and Luca, and his nephew, Marco. The new generation has their sights set on the past glories of traditionally crafted wines from this region, rebounding from more than a decade marked by experimentation with new 225l oak barrels, a small aging vessel that doesn’t serve the local grapes, Nebbiolo and Vespolina, nor their acidic, sandy soils. So, they’ve returned to softer extractions and long aging in large, old foudre, and the top four reds in the range are aged in 30-35hl foudre for four years

Baraldo 'Pergola di Silvestro' Grechetto

The artistic, free-thinking, well-trained and technically astute enologist and vignaiolo, Giacomo Baraldo, is influenced by his past and has the support of his family, yet is beholden to nothing and no one. He acts on intuition guided by his near decade of widely varied experiences in Bordeaux and Burgundy, Patagonia and New Zealand (where he has another small ongoing wine project). His wines are thoughtful, exploratory, generous but measured and diverse, including Chardonnay planted on a rocky limestone slope below cliffs using massale selections from the Côte d’Or gathered from friends in Burgundy. His Grechetto orange wine was reborn in the field from vines below the main square of San Casciano dei Bagni, and his Sangiovese single-site wines must be highlighted, as they are his true muse, the inspiration that guides his work to unlock the potential of Monte Cetona, a solitary limestone mountain with complex geology halfway between Rome and Florence in the Provincia di Siena. All wines are naturally fermented, with the whites in steel, oak, and the orange Grechetto wine in amphora.

Montaribaldi 'Vagnona' Dolcetto

The Dolcetto grapes are the first red grapes to be harvested. Normally the harvest takes place within the first ten days of September. Once in the winery, grapes are destemmed and crushed. Then they are put in stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks where the alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place. This lasts at least one week at temperature of 26-28 °C. After racking and pouring, the wine remains in contact with its lees (temperature of 20-22 °C) for at least two months while it completes the malo-lactic fermentation. Then, taking advantage of the wintriness, the wine is left to rest from 3 to 4 months at low temperature in order to facilitate the deposit of the turbidity and the clarification. Eventually, in the following spring and after some pourings, the Dolcetto d’Alba DOC Vagnona is ready to be bottled and marketed.

Cornelissen Munjebel Rosso P2 'Cuvee Perpetuum'

Munjebel P, or "Perpetuum", harkens back to the early days of Cornelissen's Munjebels, which were not single-vintage wines, but instead blends of two consecutive vintages. For Munjebel P I, the first release of Perpetuum, Cornelissen blended together selected lots of Munjebel vintages 2015 (Contrada Piano dei Daini), 2016 (Munjebel), 2017 (Munjebel CA) and 2019 (Munjebel) into a 7000-liter epoxy tank and bottled 25% of the whole lot. This Munjebel P II includes these same vintages, plus 25% of the vintage 2020 as well. The wine is 100% organically farmed Nerello Mascalese from vineyards averaging +60 years in age. The grapes have been destemmed, lightly crushed, fermented with indigenous yeasts using pied de cuve and macerated for 50 days before being blended into the perpetual cuvée. Bottled unfined and lightly filtered. 14,5% alcohol.

Pipoli Vigneti del Vulture Greco/Fiano

Basilicata sits next to Puglia at the southern end of Italy and despite being less well known than its neighbour it does produce some excellent wines as this zesty and very drinkable white demonstrates. It's made from two of the south's main white grapes Greco and Fiano which, after a gentle pressing is fermented in oxygen free conditions to preserve the fresh aromas before being aged for a short period on its lees. It has an enticing pale lemon colour and a plethora of floral aromatics and delicious tropical flavours this packs a lot in whilst remaining refreshingly light and balanced. Valentino Sciotti took over this small Basilicata co-operative of Vigneti del Vulture in the heart of the Aglianico del Vulture zone in 2008 and it's since become part of the Fantini group whose wineries also include those of Vesevo and Gran Sasso. Consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini works with the talented Massimo di Bari to capture in the finished wine the character of the grapes and the zone. According to Alberto, arriving in this beautiful area, isolated and uncontaminated, is almost like stepping back a few centuries in time. It is certainly one of Italy's least explored and poorest regions, which is nevertheless producing some exciting wines.

Sansonina Lugana

The 2020 Sansonina Lugana "Fermentazione Spontanea" is a highly compelling, artisanal departure from the standard, mass-market white profiles found around Lake Garda. Produced by Nadia Zenato under her female-led Sansonina project, this cuvée acts as a purist exploration of 100% Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana) sourced from old vines rooted in the compact, white clay and limestone soils of Peschiera del Garda. Rather than utilizing commercial yeast strains to maximize safe, tropical esters, the fruit is entirely spontaneously fermented with its native ambient yeasts. It is then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks, completely avoiding wood contact to allow the raw variety and distinct clayey terroir to speak without filters. In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow with shimmering golden highlights. The nose is highly characterful, authentic, and layered, completely steering clear of generic sweetness; it opens with a savory array of dried lemon slices, sour berries, and grapefruit zest, beautifully woven into complex undertones of quince, bitter white almonds, and a distinct hint of dried honey.

Ioppa Nebbiolo

Things are on the move at Vini Ioppa. The new generation has their sights set on the past glories of traditionally crafted wines from this region, rebounding from more than a decade of experimentation with 225 liter oak barrels, a small aging vessel that has (in my opinion) not served the local grapes, Nebbiolo and Vespolina, nor their soils well. They’ve returned to soft extractions and long aging in large, old foudre, and the top four reds in the range are aged in 30-35hl foudre for four years! The abandonment of small barrels rid these naturally ethereal wines of an unnecessary heavy weight. Now the taste is softer with a more pronounced aromatic lift when compared to just a few vintages ago—an influence heightened by the Cristiano Garella, one of the most talented young consulting enologists in Italy, who began working with the family in 2015.

Collestefano Verdicchio

Collestefano was started in 1998 when Fabio Marchionni took over the estate that had been in his family for years. After getting his degree in agriculture, where he did his thesis on Verdicchio di Matelica, he went to Germany to work for Weingut Zähringer where he learned to work and farm organically with minimal impact to the environment. He then worked briefly in wine bars and restaurants before taking over the family farm. His Verdicchio has been consistent in quality, winning at least two glasses from Gambero Rosso since the 2001 vintage (winning three glasses twice). It is a great value for an organic wine, easily competing with any Verdicchio on the market, most of which are more expensive. The Matelica zone is further inland and at a higher elevation than the more common Verdicchio di Castelli di Jesi. Matelica wines tend to be brighter and more elegant whereas the Castelli di Jesi wines often have a little more fruit and heft. Collestefano is textbook for the Matelica style – bright and crisp with floral notes and a hint of pine.

Villa Sant'Anna Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

The Vino Nobile was first vinified in 1993. Based on Prugnolo Gentile aka Sangiovese (85%) and Mammolo & Canaiolo (15%), the vineyards for the Vino Nobile have a southwestern exposure but at a higher elevation than those for the neighboring Chianti Colli Senesi. The yields are severely restricted, averaging 20% less than for the Chianti. The fermentation period lasts 20 to 25 days at temperatures that reach 30 degrees Celsius. The wine is then racked into a mix of small- and medium-sized French oak barrels for two years, at which point it is then bottled unfiltered and allowed to rest in the cool cellars of Sant’Anna for an additional 6 months before being released.

Cleto Chiarli 'Vecchia Modena' Sobara Lambrusco

The story of Lambrusco is closely intertwined with the Chiarli family of Modena, arguably the most important producers of red sparkling wine in the world. The tale begins with Cleto Chiarli, proprietor of the Modena restaurant Osteria dell’Artigliere in the mid-1800s. As was common for restaurateurs and innkeepers in those days, Chiarli made his own wine to sell at the osteria. Naturally, the wine was made from Lambrusco, the area’s primary grape variety, and it was well received by customers—so much so that in 1860 Chiarli was emboldened to found Emilia Romagna’s first wine-producing company, the Cantina Cleto Chiarli. The company thrived and, eventually, under the Chiarli 1860 name, became the largest privately owned producer of Lambrusco.

Nicosia Monte Cerasuolo

Just a few miles from the southernmost tip of the Italian peninsula, in a corner of Sicily that smells like Africa, is the lively agricultural center of Vittoria, home to Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico. The surrounding territory, set between two rivers, is characterized by its fertility and typical Mediterranean climate. The large Bonincontro vineyards are found in the heart of this area historically devoted to making high-quality wines. The characteristic sandy texture soils are ideal for raising the native grapes of Nero d’Avola and Frappato. This organic red wine combines the intensity of Nero d’Avola and the freshness of Frappato. The floral and fruity notes, together with a warm, full-bodied and harmonious taste, create a perfect blend of persistence and drinkability. Cerasuolo di Vittoria is the only wine with Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) in Sicily and boasts ancient and noble origins. This wine dates back to 1606, the year that marked the foundation of the city of Vittoria. It owes its quality to the terroir, the Southeastern Sicily's climate and most importantly to the quality of the two grape varieties it is made with. Also know as "Calabrese d'Avola", Nero d'Avola is Sicily's most widely grown red grape variety. The characteristics of this variety, such as its deep color, rich aromas and excellent structure, produce a classic Italian red wine that is known and respected around the world. Frappato is an age-old variety typical of Southeastern Sicily dates back to the seventeenth century. It has fairly elongated bunches and grapes with an intense red, almost violet colour, and produces wines known for their heady fruity aromas, freshness and mellow palate.

Massa 'Piccolo Derthona'

Massa’s opening play on the Timorasso front, the ‘Piccolo Derthona,’ is a nod to the ‘Petit Chablis’ bottlings of Burgundy’s north, whereby fruit from beyond the traditional heart of a given region is used to make slightly simpler, and often more affordable expressions of the area. Understandably enough, there are many a Chablisienne quality to be found here: vibrant and pithy yellow citrus fruit, beeswax, blossoming citrus flower, and chalky minerals make clear the French connection as well as the grape’s own distinct, delicious strengths. Brief and simple vinification is in steel, with regular lees stirring over the following 12 months to lend some added love handles to an otherwise laser-focused white. With time and temperature, the Piccolo Derthona evolves into something more textural and mid-weighted, with an added nutty oiliness and more luscious honeyed stonefruit element emerging. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Around his home town of Monleale in southwest Piedmont’s Colli Tortonesi subzone, Walter Massa is referred to, often in hushed tones, as ‘the prophet.’ The underlying resonance here has nothing to do with any mystical theological tidings, nor connections to a higher power, but more so a reference to the man’s singular perseverance that saw him all but single-handedly retrieve the now celebrated Timorasso grape from the brink of obscurity and thrust it back into the realms of Italian grapes worthing giving a darn about. A genuine contadino (farmer) at heart, with deep familial roots in his native Colli Tortonesi, Massa can usually be found plowing his vineyards or buzzing around his cellar when someone arrives for a visit. He’ll then stop to spend hours showing you around, pouring wines for anyone with a glass in hand, and talking with the continual waves of journalists, sommeliers, importers, buyers, and just plain fans who make their way to his village to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the ‘Maestro of Timorasso.’

Valfaccenda is a relatively new project only begun in 2010 in the steep, sandy hills of Roero, directly next door to Barolo. Luca and Carolina are the winemaking couple behind the wheel here. Luca got his winemaking hands wet in Barolo, and paired it with Carolina’s background in graphic design. Their aesthetics in the vineyard are honest and their flair for their wine labels is creative. Their beginnings were humble starting with just their own pairs of hands, and no proper cellar. Their project grew, and so did their wine. Today, they are making some of the most proper Nebbiolo coming from Roero. An energetic Freisa, this shows the no frills approach Valfaccenda is known for. Fermented slowly in steel, aged in old oak, bottle unfined and unfiltered this is a wine of contrasts. Complex and approachable, nuanced and exciting, ready for everyday or sometime special.

Valpane 'Rosso Pietra' Barbera

Due east of Turin lies Cantine Valpane, a small family winery focused on traditional Piemontese grapes that too often fly under the radar among wine drinkers this side of the Atlantic—varieties like Freisa, Grignolino, and even a Piemontese favorite, Barbera. One of the stars of the Monferrato, Cantine Valpane’s Pietro Arditi knows that the terroir here, which features a relatively warm climate and long hours of sunlight, allows the grapes to ripen completely and unleashes the full personality of the variety. In other words, the Monferrato is ideally suited to Barbera, and the top vignaioli of the region dedicate their best bottlings to the grape. You can taste this in Cantine Valpane’s Rosso Pietro, with its soaring aromatics and flavors of black cherries, herbs, blackcurrant, and earth. This rosso is made for pure pleasure—and for pizza/pasta night—and you’ll be amazed by how much refinement and complexity are also on display.

Cascina Luisin 'Rabaja' Barbaresco 2019

Cascina delle Rose is a small, family-owned estate situated on the crest of the Rio Sordo cru, near its border with Tre Stelle. The winery was founded by Giovanna Rizzolio, but, since 2017, has been in the hands of her children, Riccardo and Davide Sobrino. It is a winery that has always been known for the purity and elegance of its style expressed in its cru Barbaresco. Giovanna‘s family comes from Alba, where they operated grain mills. Giovanna’s grandparents, Beatrice and Fernando, bought this small estate in Barbaresco in 1948, when they fell in love with the landscape and the place. When they bought the estate, it was a true farmhouse, with a grainary, stables, and the cantina below the house. They farmed the parcels of vineyards that came with the property, making and bottling wine, for family consumption or gifts for friends and visitors. The family, in fact, still has some bottles of 1952 in their cellar, though they believe some wine was bottled even earlier. Giovanna originally started living at the estate in the early 1980s, working to save up enough money to eventually buy the property from her extended family in 1992.

Villa Loren Amarone

After the grapes are harvested, they are placed in small cases and in special dry, well-aired rooms. In this way, the grapes dry naturally and gain an extraordinarily high concentration of sugars, glycerine and other aromas. After 3 months, the semi-dried grapes are softly pressed. Due to the low temperature, the process of fermentation is long and slow. Maceration takes over a month. The wine is then aged in mediumsized oak casks, where it continues to ferment and where it remains for about 24 months. Bottle aging at least 8 months before release.

Mastrojanni Brunello 'Vigna Schiena d'Asino' 2018

It rains very little during the summer in central Italy. Montalcino might get two consecutive months without any rain. Therefore, the vines have to dig deep into the soil for water. Continuous sea breezes known as the Maestrale and the Libeccio keep the vines dry and the insects and plant diseases under control. In addition, Mastrojanni is located near Mount Amiata, a volcano which became extinct 700,000 years ago and which is 1,738 meters high. This mountain determines the Mastrojanni microclimate because at night cold winds come down from the mountain causing a large diurnal temperature change that refreshes the vines from the summer heat. When a storm is close by, curiously, this mountain often diverts it thanks to its rising currents. Mastrojanni is therefore better protected from hailstorms, for example, than other areas of Montalcino. Mastrojanni has been in conversion to biodynamics since 2022.

Fattoria di Sammontana Primo Fuoco Trebbiano

Fattoria di Sammontana is an organic and biodynamic farm located in Montelupo Fiorentino, along the Arno valley, just 20 Km. from Florence. We tend about 13 hectares of vineyards and more than 3,000 olive trees, planted between 70 and 150 meters above sea level. The soil is alluvial, and as such is full of stones, gravel, and pebbles of various sizes that are technically referred to as “skeletons”. This soil, usually defined as “ungrateful”, is the one that gives character and personality to our wines. We vinify our wines naturally, with fermentation using wild yeasts since 2007. We have been certified organic since 2009 and started biodynamic viticulture in 2012. Our philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention in the cellar, permitting only very low levels of sulfur and only when necessary.

Cascina delle Rose 'Marcorino' Barbaresco 2021

In 2018 we had the fortunate opportunity to add this magnificent cru to our production. A small vineyard, planted in 1944, to be cared for and cultivated with the same passion. As the production is very limited, it is offered first to our historical customers. The first vintage will be released starting from 2024. The soils are of marine origin from the Tertiary era, characterized by clayey-limestone marl. The stratification is dense and varied: sandstone (abundant), clay and silt. Barbaresco Marcorino comes from a careful selection of 100% Nebbiolo grapes in the field. The immediately noticeable characteristics are the considerable complexity and depth accompanied by elegance and finesse.

Principe Corsini 'Tenuta Marsiliana' Vermentino

Tenuta Marsiliana belongs to the historic Principe Corsini family, whose aristocratic and agricultural roots in Tuscany date back to the 12th century. Spanning approximately 3,000 hectares in the southern Maremma region, the estate was historically a marshy wilderness until Prince Tommaso Corsini initiated extensive land reclamation efforts in the 19th century, transforming it into a thriving agricultural hub. Today, under the leadership of Duccio Corsini, the estate blends centuries of tradition with modern sustainable practices, focusing on organic and vegan viticulture to craft wines that faithfully reflect the unique coastal terroir of Manciano.

Radikon 'Pignoli' Pignolo 2014 500 mL

Made from 100% Pignolo—a historic, late-ripening red variety native to Friuli—Pignoli is one of Radikon’s rarest and most structured wines. The organically farmed fruit comes from vineyards near Oslavia, grown on ponca (marl and sandstone) soils. In true Radikon fashion, the grapes undergo extended skin maceration (often 30–60 days) and ferment with native yeasts. The wine is then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for several years (often five or more), then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfur. The 2014 vintage delivers a complex, wild expression of Pignolo—dark and savory, with notes of dried cherry, cocoa, pine resin, smoke, and iron-rich earth. Tannins are firm but integrated, and the wine evolves beautifully with air.

Sperino Lessona Nebbiolo 2016

Nebbiolo grown on a beach — ancient Pliocene marine sands, once a sea floor, sitting over igneous rock at 290 to 350 meters in the hills above Biella. That sand is what makes Lessona different from Barolo: hyper-acidic soil (pH 4.5 to 5.5) loaded with iron, manganese and zinc, and it gives a Nebbiolo that's perfumed and lifted rather than muscular. Paolo De Marchi — better known for Isole e Olena in Chianti Classico — took over the family's eight hectares here in 1999 and set about reviving a region most of the wine world had written off, and his son Luca now works alongside him. Everything is hand-picked, sorted, fermented with native yeasts in open-topped wooden vats, then raised in large oval casks and held in the cellar for years before release. For anyone who loves Nebbiolo but balks at what the famous communes cost, this is the address.

Nicosia Monte Etna Bianco

Made with selected grapes grown on lava terraces at an average altitude of 720 m above sea level, these Etna wines represent a unique combination of the typical elegance of mountain wine and minerality due to volcanic origin. The extraordinary wealth of minerals in Etna's volcanic soils is the source of the very sapid and typical flavor of the wines produced here. The quality of the soil is closely tied to Etna’s volcanic origins, as it was formed through the disintegration of lavas with different compositions and from different eras, and eruptive materials such as sands, ashes, pumice stone and “lapilli”. Even the climate distinguishes the Etna area respect to the rest of Sicily. The average temperatures on the mountains are lower and the climate also changes depending on the slope and the alyitude. From a winemaking standpoint, the wine diurnal temperature range is fundamental, as it gives the wines their good freshness and elegant aromas. Carricante is an indigenous white grape cultivated exclusively on Etna and its name refers to the plant considerable productivity. In fact, the name Carricante refres to a "plant full of fruits". Widely grown on the Eastern side of the volcano, this grape variety provides the base for Etna Bianco DOC, which gives freshness and elegant aromas. Catarratto is Sicily's most widely grown white grape. It has various clones that differ in the color and shape of the clusters, and it is often blended with other varieties, as in the case of Etna Bianco DOC, which gives good structure and balance.

Altesino Brunello 'Montosoli' 2019 Magnum

From a beautiful site that must be seen to be believed, the Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is redolent with dark fruit, blackcurrant and crushed slate. The mineral element of Montosoli and its schistic galestro-rich soils comes through beautifully in this vintage to add a linear sense of immediacy and verticality to the bouquet. The mouthfeel is especially elegant, and the wine's acidity is delivered expertly to showcase freshness but more importantly to highlight the quality of the fruit. The effect is very tonic and bright, and you get hints of baked brioche or oven-baked Italian focaccia bread, thanks to careful aging in Slavonian oak. This is a 12,000-bottle release.

Temperatures are strictly controlled during vinification and the wine is aged for two years in large oak casks and one year in bottle before release.

The grapes are crushed and fermented in stainless steel at 29 degrees Celsius for a period of a week to 10 days, then aged in stainless steel for seven to nine months before the bottling (unfiltered). While its great complexity and intensity is enjoyable in its youth, and makes a perfect wine to drink while waiting for the domaine's Baroli to come into harmony in the cellar, this cuvee can also age gracefully for up to a decade. Approximately 10,000 bottles are produced annually, about one-quarter of which is dedicated to the US market.

Ermes Pavese is a youthful grower in the commune of La Ruine just outside of the town of Morgex in the high Alps, minutes from the summit of Mont Blanc. Pavese works the native grape known as Prié Blanc. Starting with barely two hectares of vineyards, situated at about 1200 meters above sea level, Pavese has gradually expanded his holdings in this high altitude zone. He now produces three versions of Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle. Because these vineyards are so isolated, Pavese has been able to work with the original, pre-Phylloxera root stock since that malady never infiltrated this area when it came sweeping through Europe many years ago. This is an amazing bottle of white wine that you can drink all night long.

Malvasia is often immediately appealing with its upfront floral fragrance, and a delicate, light structure; styled that way, it's usually easy to sell. But Mario's 80-year old vines are so deeply-rooted in the ponca (local dialect for the marl terroir) that there was no option but to make a layered, age-worthy wine. There's the characteristic camomile/white flower scent, but also a risen dough complexity from lees contact, and on the long, gentle finish, a persistent and subtle minerality. We love it with all manner of really savoury Singaporean dishes, but the standout pairing is any dish with plenty of chye poh (salted radish) and wok hei.

The late harvest is the key to understand an enveloping white wine produced with grapes from the Grillo vine which bunches are hand harvested after a natural drying on the plant. In the cellar we carry out a manual destemming, low temperature maceration, up to fermentation in tonneaux. Once reached the ideal alcohol content, new thermal conditions are set in order to stop the fermentation, allowing a rest of the wine in steel tanks before bottling. An intense, unique wine with notes of honey, cinnamon and officinal herbs.

Although it is now known that Friulano, formerly called Tocai Friulano, is not related to Sauvignon Blanc (it is in fact the same as the minor Bordelais variety Sauvignonasse, according to Jancis Robinson), it does show clear herbal notes. I love Sauvignon Blanc, but this wine shows a more broadly useful balance between herbal flavors and nutty or citrus notes. Bright, fresh, complex, delicious. This was the wine that alerted me to the quality of the estate when it was suggested to me by Taylor Parsons at Osteria Mozza.

Ferzo, in Italian refers to a patch of fabric that, when stitched together with others, creates a sail.

The Cococciola grape is an extremely localized specialty of southern Abruzzo; its vineyards are found almost entirely within the single province of Chieti. The winemaking is intended to highlight the unique character of the variety and its ability to express terroir. A gentle pressing and cool, stainless steel fermentation allow for the preservation of primary aromas. This refreshing white wine appears pale straw yellow with green high-lights. Although light on the palate, it exhibits a sense of firmness emphasized by a backbone of bright acidity. Earthy aromas of dusty gravel and chalk blend with citrus blossom, lemongrass, and Bay leaf.

The new generation has their sights set on the past glories of traditionally crafted wines from this region, rebounding from more than a decade marked by experimentation with new 225l oak barrels, a small aging vessel that doesn’t serve the local grapes, Nebbiolo and Vespolina, nor their acidic, sandy soils. So, they’ve returned to softer extractions and long aging in large, old foudre, and the top four reds in the range are aged in 30-35hl foudre for four years.

Unkel 'La De Da' Blend

From Unkel Wines' "fun Uncle" series, they strive to make cruisy, fun & slightly wild wines, making minimal interventionist wines that work with Mother Nature, rather than being the overbearing parents of their grapes Rob and Kate Burley have since 2019 been organically farming a picturesque 5.5 Hectare vineyard in Nelson, planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris & Riesling. As the ‘Unkel’, they always allow the wine to do the talking, leading its own life through fermentation and ageing in the winery providing what they believe is the most honest expression of the fruit that they started with. Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc & Gewurztraminer from Nelson, New Zealand. Taste Profile: A bridge between a heavier rose and a light red. We think La De Da is best served chilled. Carbonic, confectionary fruits open up to a juicy, bright, light red. Rhubarb, rose water and melon. Crunch with a slight off dry finish

Rippon 'Mature Vine' Riesling

In Central Otago, near the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand, on the Eastern side of Austalasia’s largest mountain range, on the shores of Lake Wanaka lies Rippon. The Rippon vineyard site has been in the Mills family for four generations. Third generation Rolfe Mills was a submarine lieutenant in the Second World War and while on duty spent time off the Atlantic coast of Portugal, where the schist slopes of the Douro valley reminded him of home and sparked the first beginnings of an idea. In 1975, Rolfe and his wife Lois began planting experimental vines on their family farmland and in 1982 began the commercial planting of the 15ha (approximately 37 acres) that today comprise Rippon. Biodynamic farming, wild ferments, no irrigation and some of Central Otago’s oldest vines on their own roots all help to produce fruit and wines which are true to their place. Fourth generation Nick Mills, winemaker since 2003, carries on his parents’ legacy as pioneers of the Central Otago wine industry.

Ravines Estate Riesling

A flourishing partnership steeped in food and wine. Morten grew up on a renowned winery, Domaine de Castel Roubine, surrounded by estate vineyards in the prestigious Côtes de Provence wine region of France. He arrived in the Finger Lakes wine region with an Enology and Viticulture degree from one of Europe’s finest schools and valuable experience at renowned wineries including Cos d’Estournel in Bordeaux. Working as head winemaker for a major Finger Lakes winery for six years, Morten collaborated with grapes sourced from vineyards across the Finger Lakes wine country. He noticed a gap in the market: few producers were crafting truly dry Riesling wines. Many Rieslings labeled “dry” were in fact quite sweet, masking the region’s unique minerality and terroir-driven characteristics. Inspired by this, he identified two exceptional vineyard sites — the Argetsinger Vineyard and 16 Falls Vineyard — and began producing a distinct style of mineral-driven Finger Lakes wines from these sites, starting in a rented barn on Keuka Lake.

Hermann Wiemer 'Flower Day' Riesling

Flower Day Riesling is fresh and exuberant in nature and is dry with an almost playful effervescence. This wine highlights our commitment to ecosystem health and comprehensive viticulture practices. We adhere to unique farming methods that focus not solely on our vineyards but on the totality of our farm, promoting biodiversity in adjacent fields, forests, and meadows while utilizing cover crops, beneficials, and homeopathic teas and preparations. The biodynamic calendar has four kinds of days: root days, flower days, fruit days, and leaf days. Each of these days has specific tasks; fruit days are meant for harvesting, leaf days for watering, and root days for pruning. On flower days, the vineyard is left alone to rest - so we suggest resting and sipping this delicious Riesling, which pairs particularly well with books, bodies of water, and sunshine.

In the case of wine, it’s the sound of wine being poured rapidly from its container. Bueno Jugo is a light-bodied red wine with vibrant acidity and peppery undertones. It goes down easy and is best enjoyed with a slight chill.

Neu Sparkling Riesling

Grapes: We currently buy all of our fruit from a single grower. In 2022, we sourced from three vineyards. Two of the vineyards are within a couple of miles of each other on Old Mission Peninsula. 2022 was the first year we purchased grapes that were grown in Leelanau Peninsula AVA. Old Mission Peninsula AVA is Michigan’s smallest at 19,200 acres and was established in 1987. The narrow nature of the peninsula, which is 3 miles at its widest point, allows for the deep, surrounding waters moderate the extremely cold winters and delay bud break, which diminishes the chance of frost damage. Additionally, the surrounding water retains summer heat and hampers fall freezing temperatures. Harsh winter temperatures are offset by the large amount of snow, which protect the vines. The source vineyard’s growing practices are State of Michigan (MAEAP) Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance certified with emphasis on organic techniques (uncertified). Everything is hand-picked and sorted on-site.

James Rahn 'Robbins Roost Vineyard' Trousseau

James Rahn began his career in earnest at Café Campagne in Seattle, which is where his quest to understand wine was born. Upon moving back home to Chicago, he honed his craft as a Sommelier at his favorite local spot, Café Matou. Six years later he became the Wine Director at Girl & the Goat, an opportunity that later led to his first minor fray into winemaking as he partnered with Saviah Cellars in Walla Walla to create the house blend for the restaurant. It didn’t take long for James’ desire to make wine to take hold of him and after another year he found himself on the way to Portland, Oregon working for Ponzi Cellars in the Willamette Valley. Then in 2013, James Rahn Wine Company was started. Since then, James has focused on producing small lots of site-specific wines that include Gamay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris, Grüner Veltliner, Trousseau and two sites of Riesling. His hands are on every vine and bottle produced—a testament to his true artisanship. The wines are organic, sustainable and needless to say, absolutely delicious.

Sun Break 'Marie-Paule Cortell-Rose Vineyard'

Sun Break Wines was born from a simple but persistent curiosity: how many different truths can a single vineyard tell? I discovered the answer in the breezy volcanic slopes of the Willamette Valley’s Eola–Amity Hills. Before founding the winery in 2018, I spent years apprenticing across the Willamette Valley, learning the varied rhythms of the vineyard and the cellar. And I became particularly captivated by how fermentation style could alter a wine’s expression—how 100% whole cluster could bring a wine upward (Ariane Pinot Noir), adding aromatic lift and structure, while 100% destemmed fruit revealed a softer, more elegant side (Colette Pinot Noir). And somewhere between the two lives a third exquisite cuvée, with compelling aspects of both (Marie-Paule Pinot Noir). Most wineries choose one stylistic path. I chose to devote myself to mastering all three. Beyond Pinot Noir, we continued our spirit of curiosity through exquisite, bright, Chardonnay and blanc de noir (white) Pinot, méthode Champenoise sparkling wine (coming soon), cider, and small-batch vermouths crafted with organic and no-spray botanicals grown or foraged in the region. For the Pinot Noir, all six clones/blocks from the vineyard are used, a key factor in the wines’ quality. The vineyard is dry farmed, and no herbicides or synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used.

Freja Cellars Pinot Noir

Freja Cellars is dedicated to the pursuit of producing artisan Pinot Noir wines of the highest quality made from our own sustainably farmed estate vineyards. Our wines are made in the classic Burgundian style. It has been stated many times before but especially true with Pinot Noir, ninety percent of the wine characteristics are produced out in the vineyard as opposed to in the winery. With this philosophy in mind, the fruit receives minimal handling in the winery and gravity is used to move the wine in most of the processing. Freja wines exhibit distinctly Oregon characteristics but best resemble the Cote de Beaune Burgundies, Volnay serving as our benchmark. Freja Pinots tend to be elegant wines with good color, medium body and a silky-smooth, long finish. Great Pinot Noir wines historically come from very small producers.

Las Jaras 'Bella Promenade' Pinot Noir

We have been making Pinot Noir from the La Belle Promenade Vineyard in Oregon since 2018. It is a unique site at high elevation on a southwestern facing slope along the bucolic hills of the Chehalem Mountains. The vineyard is dry farmed organically and is planted to Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and Mondeuse Noir. Although appellation rules do not allow us to label this bottle with its specific provenance of Chehalem Mountains AVA (this is because we trucked the grapes from Oregon back to our winery in California), this wine is a pure expression of the La Belle Promenade Vineyard. The 2022 vintage in Oregon was one we had the luxury of waiting till the grapes were in the perfect zone for us to harvest. Since the vineyard is so far away, we rely on the experience and expertise of our dear friend Grant Coulter who manages the vineyard and makes wine for both Flaneur and his own Hundred Suns wineries. Our picking window is on the lower end of the ripening scale because we would like to achieve a wine that has tension and tautness.

JC Somers 'Abbey Ridge' Pinot Noir

If the Willamette Valley had vineyard crus, Abbey Ridge in the Dundee Hills would surely be classified as a grand cru. Planted in the rich red soil by Bill and Julia Wayne in 1976, Abbey Ridge stands as one of Oregon's oldest producing vineyards. At 500-700 feet, it is one of the highest vineyards in the Dundee Hills, resulting in a relatively late harvest. This unique position yields fruit with naturally high acidity and exceptional aging potential. At Abbey Ridge, only organic sprays are used. The moisture levels in this dry-farmed vineyard are managed through a strategic system of cover crops and tilled areas. By adjusting the mowed height of the cover crops based on rainfall, the soil retains the right amount of water for the vines. The deep roots of the older vines draw water from deep within the soil, making irrigation unnecessary—a significant advantage in an area where water is becoming increasingly scarce. Jay is a member of The Deep Roots Coalition (DRC), which is an advocacy group for the production of wine sourced exclusively from non-irrigated vineyards. He has been sourcing fruit from Abbey Ridge since 1993. The J.C. Somers Vinter Abbey Ridge Pinot Noir is not an exuberant wine. Classical and restrained, it is truly a beautifully balanced Pinot Noir that will provide immense pleasure with 5+ years of age.

La Ferme de la Foret Grenache

Grenache was most likely first planted in the Catalonia region of Northern Spain, and has grown to one of the most widely planted varietals in the world with classic Grenache- based wines coming from its native Spain, Southern France, Australia and of course the United States. Partly due to its geographic diversity and being planted in a wide- variety of climates, stylistically the wines can vary drastically and are often blended with other red varietals. Threemile Vineyard is located in The Dalles, Oregon, overlooking the southern banks of a drastic bend in the Columbia River, and in a unique climate zone that borders on dense forest to the West and desert to the East, creating extremely varied micro climates. With 30 degree diurnal temperature swings at the growing site, we are able to maintain freshness in our Grenache while still creating phenolic ripeness. Utilizing whole cluster fermentation and minimal pumpovers, we are able to create a wine that is light and fresh while complex and a true expression of the Grenache varietal, with a nod to some of our favorite Southern Rhone wines.

Terrasse (pronounced ta-ras-ah), is our barrel fermented white blend which is named after the terraced vineyards leading up the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountainsides on the estate. We have six different white wine varieties planted on these terraces and every year we make up a unique blend. It changes year to year, depending on what the vintage gives us. The core component is always Chenin blanc from our dryland bush vine Bobbejaan Wingerd (Baboon Vineyard), and the trellised Low Road vineyard. Chardonnay gives the blend some weight on the palate, Sauvignon blanc from our dryland vineyard ‘Uitkyk’ (planted in 1988) brings fresh acidity, and the drops of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier give a slight spicy, aromatic lift. Small batches of grapes are selected according to ripeness, harvested by hand and vinified separately. Terrasse is fermented by indigenous yeast in seasoned French oak barrels and then spends a further 12 months maturing on the lees. Bottling is carried out by hand with minimal fining or filtration.

Maanschijn 'Herbarium' Red Blend

Exciting Cape blend of 56% Pinotage, 22% Mourvedre, and 22% Syrah + a splash of Gr. Noir, all from nearby vineyards in Walker Bay. Whole-cluster fermentation and aging in old barrels result in a fruit-driven wine. A beautiful combination of red and dark fruit, with notes of raspberry and black cherry on the nose. The wine opens beautifully to lavender spiciness. The taste is bursting with fruit, and the youthful (fruit) tannins and present acidity indicate that this Herbarium Cape Red will develop beautifully in the coming years. Despite the low alcohol content (12.5%), the wine is very full-bodied and feels Northern European, like a beautiful Beaujolais cru. Delicious to drink on its own, or for example with a nice pâté or dry sausage.

Fermented naturally in barrel and aged with minimal intervention, the 2022 vintage shows remarkable purity, white stone fruit, and herbal lift. "Vrede" means peace, and this wine is a poised and quietly powerful reflection of its site.

Braai Cabernet Sauvignon

The soil consists of limestone, shale and duplex with sandy top layers & granite that contains both Hutton and clovelly on the top of the foothills and loamy gravel soils lower down. Vines range from 8-20 years old. Grapes were harvested by hand in the cool early morning hours. A combination of punch-downs and pumpovers were performed regularly during fermentation to facilitate the extraction of color, tannins and fruit aromas. Following fermentation, the tanks were drained and the skins gently pressed. Approximately 25% of the wine was aged in a combination of 225 liter and 300 liter French oak barrels for 12 months. The remainder was aged in stainless steel tanks.

Swerwer Touriga Nacional

The Paardeberg Mountain rises above the rolling wheat fields on the southern border of the Swartland. Approximately 80km north of Cape Town, the climatic conditions changes to become warmer and drier. Since the 1700’s this region was identified to be superior for the production of fortified wines such as Ports and Sherries, and varieties like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Barocca was therefore already established. ----------> The decision to work with Touriga Nacional came naturally as it is a variety that thrives in hot and dry conditions. The vineyard was planted in 2007 on deep sandy granitic soils with a north westerly aspect. A hot slope, but it still enjoys cool shady mornings as a result of the steep valley. The Touriga fares exceptionally well with great balance in fruit and small bunches with small, concentrated berries bursting with flavour. The grape has a natural high acidity and low pH which is perfect for these climatic conditions.

Delaire Graff Sauvignon Blanc

Delaire Graff Estate is situated in the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa’s most historic and prestigious wine region. The estate was founded in 1679 by Simon van der Stel, whose sound knowledge of viticulture and the art of winemaking fostered traditions that have grown through the centuries. In 1982, John Platter, the well-known wine writer, bought the estate, then known as Avontuur. Looking at the magnificent view, he decided to rename the farm Delaire Estate, meaning “From the Sky.” Laurence Graff, Chairman of Graff Diamonds International, acquired the estate in 2003 and vowed to transform it into South Africa’s most desirable art, hospitality and wine destination. Deeply rooted in ancient soils, the 17 hectares of vineyards benefit from a combination of maritime and mountainous terroir and are planted with Bordeaux varietals that are expertly tended to by hand. Once harvested, they receive meticulous care on their journey from vine to glass, unfolding with elegant flavors that capture the intensity of the South African sunshine. Positioned by the World’s Best Vineyards in 2023 as 36th in the world.

Badenhorst Family Red Blend

A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines are made in the Paardeberg area in Swartland district of South Africa. Owned by cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst, who restored the cellar on the farm that was last used in the 1930’s to make natural wines in the traditional manner. The vineyards are made up of very old bush vines planted between 40 and 50 years ago. This is a juicy red wine that boasts red fruits and excellent minerals on the finish.

Blankbottle Autumn Equinox White Blend

Traditionally it marked the end of the harvest season, where they took stock of what was grown and gathered and gave thanks for what they had received. So their theory was very simple: plant whatever crop ripens a few days before, on, or after (basically as close as possible to) the Autumn Equinox. And that got me thinking about Elgin. During February and early March when the heat waves hit the Western Cape, grapes in Elgin are still green, with sugars around 16° Balling. The vines have plenty of energy to sustain the heat and by the time the heat waves have passed, moderate temperatures take the grapes through a mild, slow ripening phase. This enables the vines to produce fully ripe grapes. And then, on the Autumn Equinox, the grapes usually have a sugar content of 21 - 23° balling, which is when we pick.

Beaumont Pinotage

Pinotage has a reputation problem, too often big, jammy, and overworked, and Beaumont's 'Jackals River' bottling is the quiet rebuttal. In the cool, sea-influenced hills of Bot River, the Beaumont family works old vines planted back in 1974, fermenting in open concrete and punching down gently so the wine never turns heavy-handed. The result is a mid-weight, focused South African red that shows what its signature grape can do when someone actually restrains it. Dark-fruited and savory, with firm but balanced tannins, this is Pinotage worth reconsidering.

Rosell Mir Bombolles Sparkling

Bombolles -- At the time of disgorgement, only the gross lees are removed, while the fine lees remain inside the bottle. This gives the wines a slightly cloudy appearance and the leftover lees not only protect them from oxidation but also contribute with an additional aroma and flavor complexity as well as structure and mouthfeel. Crispy aromas of green apple and ripe lemon with a hint of fresh almonds set the tone for these bubbles!

Recaredo 'Terrers' Corpinnat Brut Nature 2019

Everybody loves sparkling wines, most of all Champagne. For years, people only stepped out of the Champagne box to avoid spending Champagne prices. But Recaredo offers an even better excuse: deliciousness and distinctiveness. Catalonia has made many great contributions to world culture (Gaudí, Dalí), but has any added as much to human happiness as Cava? If you've been to Barcelona's Cava bars, you have experienced this first hand. Everybody is smiling, everyone is joyful. While Prosecco may be perfect for a spritz on a piazza, Cava is a go-to for just having fun. But Recaredo, and a handful of other producers, think that Cava can be much more than just fun. They love fun as much as anyone (and the wines are fun!), but they also want to make a world-class bubbly that doesn't have to hide its face in shame whenever a bottle of Champagne enters the room. So they do everything right. They grow mostly just indigenous varieties; they aren't trying to imitate Champagne, but to rival it. They work organically and without dosage. They label all their wines with vintages. They riddle the bottles and disgorge them by hand. They release the bottles many years after the vintage. Just how high is the quality, really? Consider the story of Neal Rosenthal, importer of exceptionally fine and classical wines, almost all of which come from France or Italy. One of the few exceptions—and the only wine he imports from Spain—is Recaredo. He told us once that he imports it not to make money but because he loves to drink the wine and his fridge at home is filled with bottles!

Oriol Artigas Bardissots Oriental Pet Nat

Els Bardissots (the briars) is a project from Pep Pou, Pilar Rosell, and Oriol Artigas. Pilar and Pep met Oriol in oenology school in 2010. The three quickly became friends and then, in 2016, collaborators when they began working with old vines (most between 50 and 90 years old) in and around Alella and making wine at Oriol's bodega. None of the three come from a winemaking family, and this inspired their name: hedges are thorny plants that grow on the margins. Pilar, Pep, and Oriol farm their parcels organically, with some biodynamic treatments. All of the wines are made with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control, and in neutral vessels. There are no additives in the winemaking process, and all of the wines are bottled without fining, filtering, or sulfur addition. Oriental Blanc is 100% Moscatel d'Alexandria from a parcel of 6-year-old vines on granitic sand. Fermented whole cluster in stainless steel tank with 6 days of skin contact, then finished and rested in the same vessel.

Totus Tuus Brut Reserva Cava NV

Totus Tuus, Alberto Orte’s beautiful tribute to his mother, started with the 2007 harvest. His aim in creating this cava was to produce a richer, full-bodied sparkling wine with the capacity for aging, while also showing greater complexity. The name "Totus Tuus" derives from the Latin expression meaning "everything for you" or "all yours". Crafted at the historical Raventós Rosell estate, Totus Tuus is blended using the three traditional cava grapes along with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The wine is then aged on the lees for 20 months, resulting in a weighty and velvety expression of Cava. This estate-bottled Cava is aged for 20 months on the lees prior to release, with marked Chardonnay creaminess balanced by bracing acidity. Full-bodied yet elegant, Totus Tuus is a benchmark for Cava Reserva in the Alt Penedès, Catalonia.

Cap de Nit Blanc Moscatel

Under the name of Cap de Nit, Josie Cleeve and Joshua Kniesel produce delicious low-intervention wines from Moscatel and Giró grapes, grown in the coastal region of Marina Alta, Alicante. Having studied enologie and viticulture in Germany and after stints and renowned estates in Chile and Spain, a few years ago the couple set up their own project in the small village of Alcalilí. Here they vinify grapes that they either harvest themselves at or buy from traditional farmers in the area. From the start Josie and Joshua were convinced these vineyards of old, dry-farmed bush-vines could be used for making great natural wines, even though no one else was doing it.

Veronica Ortega Mencia

Here’s a little bit of Andalusian light coming to us by way of Veronica Ortega. Orginally from Cadiz, her love for the Mencía grape brought her to Bierzo in northwestern Spain. Since then, she’s become a reference in the region and has blurred the lines between classic and natural Bierzo. She worked with Daphne Glorian and Alvaro Palacios in the Priorat as well as a quick stint at DRC in Burgundy before ultimately settling in Valtuille de Abajo in 2012. Raúl Pérez was nice enough to offer her some space at his winery where she made her first couple vintages until moving into her own winery. Like everybody else in Bierzo, you could say Raúl had an influence in her winemaking but without a doubt she's made a name for herself recovering old winemaking traditions and redefining what Bierzo can be. Working mostly between the towns of Valtuille and Cobrana, she's making DO classified wine while also making villages and single vineyard style wines. Most of her vines are over 70 years old accounting for 5 total hectares spread across more than 20 small vineyards planted on a mix of clay, sand, and slate. Her grapes are a product of organic farming and her wines are made as naturally as possible only adding minimal doses of sulphur when needed to avoid deviations. You will find her wines are straight and polished while still having a natural edge that gives them the energy and life we look for in all of our selections.

The grapes are destemmed and fermented on skins in a mixture of stainless steel and neutral oak (80/20) then pressed to finish and rest in stainless steel tank. The philosophy of Oriol Artigas, a native to the area and a trained enologist, is to “cultivate the vineyards in the most natural and least interventionist way possible, to allow the grapes to express in the most intense way the landscape from which they come”... resulting in some of the most exciting Vins Catalans being made today!

Michelini Mufatto 'En el Camino' Mencia

The Michelini family is not short of terroirs to explore in their native Argentina, and brothers Gerardo, Matias, and Juan Pablo continue to amaze with the amount and quality of the projects they get involved with in South America. Zorzal, Gen del Alma, Passionate Wines are just some of the labels they are associated with, and that have helped change and shape the current viticultural landscape of their native country. Now Gerardo has gone a step further and has taken his family craft and vision to Spain. With the help of his wife Andrea Mufatto (formally the winemaker at Gen del Alma), and their talented son Manu, he is making terroir-driven wine at one of Spain’s most exciting regions, Bierzo. It was César Marqués, and Raul Perez, both visionary winemakers and Bierzo natives, who instigated the Michelinis to start producing in the area. They now have their own winery in Toral de Merayo, a two centuries-old building made of the stones that shape the mountainous landscape, and here they parked some old foudres, and even some amphorae made by the master of clay, Juan Padilla. They farm their very old vines organically (soils in the region are mostly clay with slate and quartz) and the range of wines includes a village level with fruit from different plots, a couple of paraje (lieu-dit) wines, and the prized cru of El Rapolao. Manu is the young winemaker, and he takes a traditional as well as an experimental approach: the reds are foot-stomped in the amphorae, sometimes with whole bunches, and they also ferment in clay. The aging is done in a mix of vessels, amphorae as well as used oak and chestnut barrels, and the wines see short macerations of less than 20 days, followed by aging in neutral French and American oak barrels.

Torre de Ona Rioja Reserva

Founded in 1987 by Leandro Vázquez in the hamlet of Páganos, a stone’s throw from Laguardia in the Rioja Alavesa, Torre de Oña now counts over three decades as a sterling exemplar of the new Rioja: a modest-sized, château-model estate growing 100% of its own grapes, all stamped by their unique origin, from field to bottle. In 1995 Vázquez sold 45 hectares of vineyards (some dating to the 1960s), the winery and the adjoining country house to La Rioja Alta S.A., the legendary classicist firm based in Haro, the heart of the Alta district further west. That centenary company was able to invest significantly in soil studies, oak trials, and additional old-vine acquisitions, and since 2005 Julio Sáenz, the lionized head winemaker at La Rioja Alta itself, has been 100% responsible for the wines at Torre de Oña. His range begins with a dynamite Crianza, Finca San Martín, which marries attractive drinkability with surprising depths of Tempranillo fruit. Since 2014, he’s also produced an increasingly-heralded Reserva called Finca Martelo sourced from a parcel selection of the oldest vines out front the winery that include a dollop of non-Tempranillo varieties. There are rumors of something new and spectacular afoot from the estate’s very oldest centenary vines in neighboring Elvillar, but we’ll have to wait and see. This is an estate in constant motion: since the mid-90s they’ve been refining the classic-meets-modern balance of the wines by moving away from French oak and towards American and Caucasian, including larger formats. No less important is adapting to a warming climate, both by acquiring old vineyards higher up the Sierra Cantabria in Elvillar and Kripan and making new replantings according to a unique contour-line-based regimen. All the while, they remain a prime source of true-to-type and terrific quality-for-money Alavesa Rioja.

Jugo Vins Jugosa Syrah Blend

Jugosa is Syrah and Moscatel Petit Grains from an organically farmed vineyard of 24-year-old vines. Charlie notes that these international varieties aren’t well-suited to dry, hot Mallorca and he has to harvest very early to ensure that they aren’t overripe or low in acidity. Grapes were harvested by hand and deposited in plastic vats to coferment via carbonic maceration for 17 days, with regular blasts of CO2 to ensure cabonic character, then foot trodden and pressed to stainless steel tank. In tank, the wine rests and completes malolactic fermentation in the fall. Bottled without fining, filtering, or SO2 addition. The winemaking process is inspired by Evan Lewandowski, and the name means “Juicy” – but more typically applied to a cut of meat than a bottle of wine.

Binario Tempranillo

Dark ruby color. Brooding raspberry almost framboise-like, just a Cherry Bomb with layers of dried sour cherries and black cherry cola. The palate shows subtle dried fig with hints of violet and tobacco. The tannins are classic Tempranillo, rustic but balanced. Biodynamic farming is echoed in the production of Binario – each vineyard is picked by hand - at night to retain freshness. The Tempranillo is destemmed into inox where it undergoes native fermentation (15% carbonic) for appx half a lunar cycle. Free run wine undergoes malolactic via a house pied du cuve, and is settled on fine lees for 5 months. Nothing is added except SO2 allowable within Demeter certified biodynamic guidelines.

A co-planted field blend of Garnacha Negra, Garnacha Peluda, and Garnacha Gris from red clay and slate (llicorella) soils at 500 meters elevation in La Morera de Montsant. Organically farmed and harvested at optimal ripeness. 50% whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts in concrete vats, followed by 12 months of aging in large French oak foudres. Bottled unfiltered. Alfredo Arribas is that rare figure who is able to move between two very distinct worlds – those of architecture and winegrowing. Alfredo is a multi-disciplinary architect who has a body of work spanning the globe. During the 1990s, the modern style of Catalan wine was surging. Like many others Alfredo caught the wine bug, and choosing to focus his efforts in his native Catalonia he bought property in Priorat in 2001, and has been exploring the region’s diverse micro-climates ever since. With his project El Mas de L’A, Alfredo has identified La Morera de Montsant — a valley sandwiched between the distinguished villages of Cornudella and Poboleda near Escaladei — as a place to make a new style of Priorat focused more on finesse than concentration. La Morera sits at 500 meters elevation and possesses a diversity of soil types with many north-facing vineyards. Alfredo co-planted a whole spectrum of Garnachas – Negra, Peluda, Blanco, Gris, etc. along with other indigenous grape varieties that thrive in the area, recognizing that the vineyard of the future, due to uncertain weather, should have a diversity of plantings to handle the roller coaster of climate change. Once described as an architect who “connects creativity and nature”, we have no doubt Alfredo is doing the same with wine, and his hunch about La Morera is paying off. From world class whites to vibrant claretes and finely detailed reds, El Mas de L’A is rendering a new and dynamic face of Priorat.

Oriol Artigas 'Tros d'en Ros' Rock & Ros

Oriol Artigas, an Alella native and trained enologist, started his project of making non- interventionist wines in 2011. His over-arching philosophy is to “cultivate the vineyards in the most natural and least interventionist way possible, to allow the grapes to express in the most intense way the landscape from which they come.” He works about 12 hectares in total, mostly of old vines. He allows vegetation to grow between the vines, prunes very little, and works the vineyards primarily along the lunar calendar. In the winery, fermentations are completely spontaneous, aging is primarily done in steel vats, and sulfur is never used at any point in his process. The vineyards of Alella are essentially the vineyards of Barcelona, located just north of the city along the coast of the Mediterranean. The primary soil type is a kind of white granite, locally called Sauló, and the main grape grown here is Pansa Blanca (the local clone of Xarel-lo) with a whole slew of other grape varieties inter-planted as well.

Alberto Orte 'La Antigua' Reserva 2014

La Antigua Clásico is one of Alberto Orte’s most enduring historical projects and highlights an underexplored area of DOCa Rioja, the western mountain range of Sierra de la Demanda. Inspired by the winemaking styles of the early 20th century, Alberto emphasizes freshness and minerality, resulting in balanced, long-lived wines. To achieve this, he works with old-vine Garnacha, Tempranillo, and Graciano in Sierra de la Demanda, south of the Ebro River in Rioja Alta. The north-facing, high-altitude vineyards receive significantly less sunlight than those in the valley, allowing for slower ripening and producing grapes with intensity, balance, and precision. This approach carries risk and requires meticulous, hands-on viticulture. The area is among the last to harvest in Western Europe, often not until early November. In addition to the cool climate, the vineyards are steep and highly fragmented, making mechanization impossible and requiring all work to be done by hand. The result is a wine of precision and elegance, fresh and expressive now, with strong aging potential.

Vizcarra 'Torralvo' Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo

Juan Carlos Vizcarra is a man of intensity, passion, and incredible ambition. Though his family has grown grapes in northern DO Ribera del Duero for more than four generations, he was the first to make estate-bottled wine from this fruit starting in 1991. The story goes that when he was a boy, he noticed that the historic estates of Vega Sicilia and Pesquera would come to his family in bad vintages to buy fruit. Realizing that his family must have truly special vineyards of the highest quality, Juan Carlos took it upon himself to begin producing wines to express this blessed terroir and heritage. Like all the wines at the tiny Bodegas Vizcarra, Torralvo is made using gravity-fed winemaking to preserve the freshness and elegance intrinsic to the limestone plots found in northern Burgos. Meticulous in everything he does, Juan Carlos applies his detail-oriented approach to every facet of the winemaking process. Torralvo is the only single vineyard wine that Juan Carlos makes, from one of the highest-altitude parcels on his estate. Planted in the early 1960s, Torralvo is a traditional head-pruned parcel of 100% Tempranillo, farmed organically. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, Torralvo offers a truly unique expression of place for Juan Carlos. In this bottling, he offers a wine to age, one that will improve with a decade or more in the bottle.

Vizcarra 'Ines' Ribera del Duero

Juan Carlos Vizcarra, known for his intensity and ambition, was the first in his family to produce estate-bottled wine in northern DO Ribera del Duero, starting in 1991. His family has grown grapes in the region for over four generations. As a boy, Juan Carlos noticed that prestigious estates like Vega Sicilia and Pesquera would source fruit from his family's vineyards during poor vintages, highlighting the exceptional quality of their terroir. Motivated by this, he began crafting wines to express this unique heritage. Juan Carlos and his wife have two daughters, Celia and Inés. The flagship wines of the Vizcarra estate, named after his daughters, are produced in limited quantities of 2,100 bottles annually. These wines come from a single, steeply sloped vineyard with some of the oldest vines on the estate. At Bodegas Vizcarra, all wines, including Inés, are made using gravity-fed winemaking to preserve the freshness and elegance inherent to the limestone-rich vineyards in northern Burgos. Juan Carlos’s meticulous approach ensures that these wines are meant for aging, capable of improving for at least 20 years in the bottle.

Aster El Espino Ribera del Duero

The harvest was done manually in 20 kg boxes, selecting the best grapes on optical sorting tables. Cold maceration helped to highlight varietal aromas and the vibrant colors produced during the grape ripening process. After alcoholic fermentation, 50% of the wine completed malolactic fermentation in tanks and the other 50% in second-use French oak barrels. Aging in 20% new French oak barrels for 12 months with two manual rackings. After four months blending in the tank, it was bottled in May 2023. Intense ruby color with high depth and purple-pink rim. On the nose, it stands out for its high intensity, highlighting notes of forest fruits, redcurrant, cranberries, and plum, which intermingle with light aromas from barrel aging: ground coffee, licorice, and sweet peppers. Its passage through the mouth is fresh, balanced, with good body thanks to soft and delicate tannins. A new concept in our Ribera del Duero wines at an optimal moment for enjoyment.

Cerro del Toro Cab Franc/Merlot

The cabernet franc grapes were harvested in March from the CERRO 9 and CERRO 10 plots, located on a rocky slope facing west, and just three kilometers from the sea. The merlot was harvested in February. Both wines were made separately, and the blend was made in December before being bottled. Once the fruit entered the cellar, the bunches were destemmed and the must underwent cold prefermentation maceration for 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation was activated in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts and after 10 days the pomace was pressed. During the maceration (at 24°C), two gentle pump-overs and daily trampling were carried out. The wine was sent to stainless steel tanks, where malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging took place. The wine was not aged in contact with oak and was bottled in December 2021, with natural stabilization and light filtering to preserve all its potential, so natural sediments can be found in the bottle. The final blend turned out to be 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot.

Avennia 'Boushey Vineyard' Syrah

This vintage brings a fresh, lively version of the Boushey terroir. The nose features dark blueberry and plum, crushed violets, and hints of roasted meat, and smoky mineral notes. On the palate, the vintage really shows itself, with lifted blue fruit, floral and savory umami notes, featured on a medium weight frame that expands as the wine opens up. The palate is silky with those signature Boushey tannins, echoing with blueberry preserves, candied licorice, minerals, and seared bacon fat. This wine could still use a couple of years in the cellar, and then be consumed over the next 10-12 years. It looks to be a worthy addition to the Arnaut vertical.
