The Domaine la Taupe VdF 'Carnix' is a thirst-quen

The Domaine la Taupe VdF 'Carnix' is a thirst-quenching red from the Loire Valley! 70% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% whole bunch, seven days maceration in fiberglass. Transferred to old barrels for 12 months. Zero SO2. It boasts lots of earthy qualities, fresh mushrooms, smoky minerality, and freshly tilled earth. The juicy fruit notes keep all the earthiness in check: brambly blackberry, black cherry, and red plum. Plenty of structure from both vibrant acidity and grippy tannin. A joyful, lively wine.

To life! A la vida. A Spanish riff similar to the Hebrew toast L’chaim! This is an invitation to people everywhere to come together and share in the simple joys of good food and wine. Argentina is a nation rich in diversity, and the multi-cultural family at Domaine Bousquet has been making certified organic wines in Argentina since 1997, when they began planting vines in the upper reaches of Tupungato’s cool-climate area.

Alavida Malbec is vibrant and dry, with black fruit and floral notes typical of a quality Malbec from this corner of the planet. The Alavida Cabernet Sauvignon offers brambly blackberry and black currant with notes of mint and pepper.

Both wines are Kosher, organic, and modestly priced. Incredible value to be had here.

The 2014 Malvasia del Lazio from Antonio Pulcini’s prized Colle Gaio vineyard in the volcanic hills south of Rome is outstanding. The wine offers up superb aromatic complexity in its bouquet of lemon peel, marmalade, a touch of menthol, salty soil tones and a topnote of dried flowers. The wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex on the palate, with a superb core of fruit, fine mineral undertow, a lovely girdle of acidity and a long, well-balanced and complex finish. Antonio Pulcini routinely holds his wines back in bottle in his cellars for several years before release, and it still has plenty of room to grow and evolve with further bottle age.

Pulcini’s top site is the Colle Gaio vineyard, which has long been recognized locally as the viticultural Crown Jewel of the Castelli Romani hills. Here, more than 30 years ago, he planted Malvasia del Lazio, believing that this low-yielding native variety would give him the age-worthy wines he was looking for. And, the resulting wine has become his magnum opus, “Colle Gaio 'The Old White.'”

While the yields for all his wines are low, those of Colle Gaio average a mere 20hl/ha, achieving the concentration of grand cru White Burgundy. The wine spends three to four days on the skins before pressing, and the fermentation proceeds slowly, often lasting up to four months. He then leaves the wine on its lees in stainless tanks for three, four or even more years until he feels the wine is ready to be bottled. And, the wine is then left to slumber in bottle, sometimes buried in sand, for years or decades in the estate’s labyrinthian cellars.

The Withers Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir is a g

The Withers Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir is a gorgeous, high-toned Pinot that reveals its Pommard clonal heritage and coastal woodland location through a combination of focused dark bing cherry notes and fine-grained tannins. Medium-bodied and built to age, it also features woodsy and underbrush aromas and flavors with exposure to air; it is reminiscent of its Burgundian brethren.

Oppenlander Vineyard, planted in 1997 by 5th generation Shandel family members, is under vine to 20 acres and located in Comptche, abutting old growth redwood forests near the Mendocino Coast. Clones harvested include Pommard, 115, and 114 and Martini. The site can experience over 50-degree daily swings in temperatures and over 40 inches of rainfall annually but features exceptionally well-drained soils, all of which produces strong fruit structure and acidity over lengthy ripening seasons.

Looking for a wine from Switzerland? Something to go with some fondue or crisp potato Rosti? The Domaine La Colombe Fechy is biodynamically farmed Chasselas. It is a light and charming wine with pretty notes of mountain wildflowers, river stones, peach, lemon, and white pepper.

Sitting on the northwest shore of Lake Geneva, cradled by France’s Jura region to the west and the Alps to the southeast, Vaud is a real gem. Domaine La Colombe is located in the regional AOC of La Côte, one of Vaud’s six wine regions. The winery itself is in the village of Féchy, as are most of their holdings. Chasselas, locally known as Dorin, is Vaud’s calling card, accounting for nearly 90% of total production.

Like an “undiscovered” Tuscany, Umbria is one

Like an “undiscovered” Tuscany, Umbria is one of the great secrets of Italy. De Monaco & Holland Rosso di Todi is a prime example of this. It is a perfect expression of a great old-world terroir (alluvial sediments with sand, gravel, and clay) created with a deft touch that showcases the purity of Sangiovese at its best. In Todi DOC the Sangiovese grape overshadows Sagrantino, and Lorenzo De Monaco has four different biotypes of it planted in his SW-exposed “Agri Segretum,” along with smaller amounts of Colorino, Malvasia Nera, and some newly-planted “Grero,” or “Greco Nero,” the dark-skinned cousin of Greco di Tufo.

De Monaco & Holland Rosso di Todi DOC includes all four biotypes of Sangiovese 80%, Malvasia Nera 10%, and Colorino 10%. This red wine is all about rich, velvety textures and deep, dark fruit flavors. It’s like a cozy evening by the fireplace in a glass.

We just love a wine that over-delivers. Generous f

We just love a wine that over-delivers. Generous fruit, smooth tannins, and a modest price point add up to the Cotes du Rhone 'Figue' Rouge from Domaine de la Bastide. A blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 10% Carignan from 38-year-old vines, it's fresh and juicy with a brilliant tangle of brambly black fruit, wet earth and wild thyme. It's such an incredible value.

Few vigneron can boast of a closer connection to the deep history of their culture than Vincent Boyer. In his home, which is one of the original structures of an 800-year-old Templar farm, one can see the vestiges of an ancient Roman wine vat along the lower third of a wall. In the cellar, Vincent’s methods are a combination of modern precision and old-school rusticity. The wines are made in concrete and stainless steel and he destems 100% in order to keep the tannins soft and easy. He also runs his bottling line off the still functioning engine of an extremely old tractor that is parked out back. This balance between the new and the old permeates everything at Domaine de la Bastide. Vincent and his wife Stephanie, who is also a trained winemaker, continue renovating their ancient home while maintaining details such as the narrow windows that Templar knights used to shoot arrows through at invaders. And the human relationship to the wine is important to Vincent. “I have to touch every tank before I leave the cellar at the end of the day,” he tells me. “And sometimes I even sing a little to the vines.”

Looking for something special to add to your wine

Looking for something special to add to your wine collection? Look no further than the stunning Livio Sassetti Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino. The Sassetti family has been producing wine in Montalcino for over three generations. The "Podere Pertimali," with its 16 hectares of vineyards, is nestled on a slope in the Montosoli hill, north of Montalcino, one of the area's most favorable terroirs for Sangiovese.

The 2018 vintage is laden with accolades. 96 Points from James Suckling, 95 from Wine Enthusiast, 94 from Jeb Dunnuck, and 93 from Wine Spectator. This wine belongs in your cellar.

"Intense aromas of black cherries, lavender and spice, such as nutmeg. Some sandalwood and bark, too. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and tannins for the vintage. Rather chewy, suggesting that additional bottle age is needed." - James Suckling

The Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is #15 in Wine

Light, citrusy, and finished bone-dry, the Gulp Ha

Light, citrusy, and finished bone-dry, the Gulp Hablo White has good minerality and fresh, crisp apples and lemon tones. This wine is made of the indigenous white-berried grape called Verdejo and, while widespread in Spain, is still underrepresented in American markets. It is known for making thirst-quenching dry whites.

The farming is certified biodynamic, that is, by the principles of Rudolf Steiner’s agricultural philosophy that aims for healthy soils and forbids pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers. Stricter than organics, even. The wine is fermented with native yeasts, not fined at all, and has only a tiny amount of sulfites.

The Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant Rouge is a Rhone-s

The Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant Rouge is a Rhone-style red blend biodynamically grown and raised in California's Central Coast. 42% Grenache, 31% Cinsault, 24% Syrah, 2% Petite Sirah, 1% Counoise. The Grenache is enormously pretty and fragrant, the cooler climate gives the Cinsault an incredible articulation of flavor, but what is most noteworthy is the fact that Bonny Doon was able to conferment the Cinsault with Syrah. Something magical happens when Syrah and Cinsault marry; the healthy tannin titer from the Syrah seems to give more structure to the Cinsault. The spicy, licorice component from the Syrah is a perfect foil to the Griotte cherry derived from the Cinsault. Such a lovely and balanced wine that delivers exceptional value.

Domaine Couturier is led by the legendary Marcel C

Domaine Couturier is led by the legendary Marcel Couturier, who comes from a long line of vignerons in the southern Mâconnais, in conjunction with the next generation of the domaine: his daughter Cladie and son Auxence. The Couturier family work intuitively, respecting each terroir and resulting wine. Marcel has stood out as a traditionalist with old vines and high standards in an area quickly defining itself as a source of top-notch white Burgundy. He has passed these traits onto his daughter Cladie, who runs the winery operations, and his son Auxence, who is now following in Marcel’s footsteps in the vineyard. Until Auxence joined his father in the vineyards, all of the work in the vineyards and cellar were performed solo by the hard-working Marcel.

The Saint-Véran La Cour des Bois is Chardonnay fruit from 70-80 year old vines. The wine is certified organic and certified biodynamic. This straw-colored wine shows notes of chalk, candied fruit, and pastry finishing long and broadly on the palate.

The Lindenlaub wines smack of so much life they might have you believe the domaine is fresh on the scene. Yet Christophe Lindenlaub’s roots speak to a long lineage of Alsatian farming—spanning all the way back to 1759 in the large village of Dorlisheim in the Bas-Rhin, located along the Alsace wine route about 20 km to the west and a touch south of Strasbourg.

Christophe Lindenlaub En Equilibre is 100% Riesling masquerading as a smoky Chenin. A completely glou glou Alsatian white that walks a tightrope of tension and balance, complexity and precision. Racy, aromatic and textural, with a backbone of linear acidity. It would make a lovely wine on the Thanksgiving table.

Attention Chablis lovers! If you haven't had the Florence et François Bachelier Chablis, you are absolutely missing out on excellent, classic Chablis.

Florence and her husband François are 8th-generation farmers of eighteen hectares in Villy. Most of their vines are over 60-year-old vines, which contribute great depth and concentration to the wine. This 100% Chardonnay is lovely, laser-focused, traditional Chablis. These northerly vineyards are some of the coolest in Chablis, and you can sense that in this wine. High-toned, abundant minerality, and as fresh and clean as a mountain stream, exuding lively notes of crunchy green apple, fresh citrus zest, and chalk. Simply put, this is high-quality Chablis for a modest price point.

The Les Allies Vin de France Chardonnay is one of our portfolio's best values in French Chardonnay. It retails for well under $15/bottle and delivers a creamy expression of Chardonnay with honeyed undertones showcasing bright notes of pineapple, mango, vanilla and pear blossom. It's well-spiced and backed by refreshing acidity. Hints of herbs and minerals ring in on the finish.

The wine was fermented at a low temperature in thermo-regulated vats to promote the development of the Chardonnay's delicate aromas and to conserve the fresh and fruity nature of the harvest. It was aged 6 to 10 months in stainless steel vats to obtain a stable and well-balanced wine.

David O’Reilly and his wife Angelica, who founded Owen Roe in Yakima Valley, have launched a new winery called Rocks of Bawn. The winery’s name was inspired by a popular Irish folk song and “pays homage to the determination of those who faced hardship on the rocky west coast of Ireland.” O'Reilly was born in Belfast, Ireland. As O’Reilly has done throughout his career, the wines at Rocks of Bawn will include offerings from Oregon and Washington. They will also come mainly from higher-elevation sites.

RAEN Royal St. Robert Cuvee Pinot Noir 2021 – Rated #4 on Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2023

“Beautifully defined, with pinpoint damson plum, mulberry and blood orange notes stretched out over a frame of rooibos tea and savory accents. Mouthwatering through the lengthy, unadorned finish, which relies on tension and purity. Drink now.” 95 Points – Wine Spectator

The Raen Royal St. Robert Cuvee Pinot Noir comes from a new generation of Mondavis: Carlo & Dante. As winemakers and farmers, Carlo and Dante attribute a great deal of what they have learned to their grandfather Robert and father Tim, both whom influenced them from a young age. In 2013 Carlo and Dante founded RAEN winery with the goal to produce world class Pinot Noir on the western hills of the Sonoma Coast. RAEN currently focuses on making three Pinot Noirs, from three unique sites on the Sonoma Coast.

"Our Royal St. Robert bottling is dedicated to our grandfather, who has been our greatest teacher in our journey in wine. This special cuvée is a selection from our coastal vineyards, giving a window to the rugged hills of the westerly Sonoma Coast. "

This wine has also been awarded 98 Points from James Suckling and 95 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. It's a stunning bottle of Pinot Noir.

Cantina Sociale di Gattinara, founded in 1908, has

Cantina Sociale di Gattinara, founded in 1908, has offered families from the zone of Gattinara a steady path to continued independence and stewardship of the land. Forty families care for their own tiny plots, which total 15 hectares of vines rooted in the zone’s pure volcanic soils. Descending into the cantina’s historic cellar with its cement tanks and botti tucked beneath the centuries-old city center of Gattinara is like traveling back in time. Today, the cantina produces approximately 2,000 cases of wine annually. The resulting wines display a simple elegance and purity as well as a palpable connection to over 100 years of production.

As a true field blend, the exact varietal makeup remains a mystery; however, its composition is roughly 60% Nebbiolo, 30% Barbera, 5% Vespolina, and 5% Uva Rara. Enticing aromas of tobacco highlighted with hints of cedar. On the palate you are greeted with flavors of red and black berries. From there the wine leads you directly into a gentle finish of firm tannins. A very food-friendly wine that is very much at home at the table with a pile of pasta or pizza.

Château Guipière La Tour Vieilles Vignes Muscade

Château Guipière La Tour Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is a single-site Muscadet from 50-year-old vines planted in deeply layered mica-schist soils. The grapes are entirely hand-harvested and fermented naturally in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine remains on its fine lees for six months prior to bottling. This sur-lie treatment gives an extra intensity and richness, as well as a light pepper and slightly creamy character. In this high-quality Muscadet, texture and stony flavors resound, echoing back and forth. Aromas and flavors are clearly pronounced: lemon, yellow pear, yellow apple, and herbs, occasionally a chamomile or saline sensation.

18th-century Château Guipière has been in the hands of its talented new proprietors, Philippe Nevoux, and Stéphane Gouraud since 2015. In addition to renovating the many ancient buildings strewn across the property, Philippe and Stéphane immediately poured considerable energy into the revitalization of the vineyards, protecting their biodiversity with a strict organic- and sustainable-viticultural regime.

The Fond Cypres Cypres de Toi Blanc is 100% Chardonnay grown on calcareous soil and blue marl in Escales. A crowd-pleasing, food-friendly white made with grapes purchased from a certified organic neighbor. Minimal SO2 added at bottling. A companion for the warmer months, with notes of Asian pear and granny smith apples conjuring up an imaginary outdoor lunch. Hints of thyme oil, fresh-squeezed lemon and herbes de Provence make the case for a pairing with any meal, really—breakfast through dinner.

The Fond Cypres Cypres de Toi Rouge is a blend of Syrah and Grenache grown on calcareous soil and blue marl just outside Escales, a medieval town in the northernmost part of the Corbières AOC. The “vent Cers” or winds from the northwest bring cold, dry weather as a counterpoint to the warm, humid air from the Mediterranean to the east, known as the “vent Marin.” Seriously quaffable, this zero-zero blend is medium-bodied and super clean, light and chewy with gentle tannins. Crunchy black fruit, a sprinkling of peppercorn and a long, fresh finish. Mortadella vibes.

From the Brigitte Bardot of Corbières and her endearing husband come the wines of Fond Cyprès, a soulful, luscious lineup of Carignan, Syrah, Grenache, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, Muscat, Cinsault and blends thereof. The couple, whose real names are Laetitia Ourliac & Rodolphe Gianesini, is intent on producing wines that express their sultry slice of the Languedoc — specifically, Escales, in the northernmost part of the Corbières AOC.

Located in Vermont, a tiny hamlet in Villié-Morgo

Located in Vermont, a tiny hamlet in Villié-Morgon, Georges Descombes is the unofficial fifth member of the iconic "Gang of Four": Marcel Lapierre, Jean Foillard, Jean-Paul Thévenet and Guy Breton. Georges is a firm believer that his wines benefit from time in bottle, and always releases them up to a year later than most of his colleagues, particularly the old vine releases.

Georges Descombes Brouilly - Brouilly is located on the lower slopes of Mont Brouilly. The wines are more fruit-driven than many of the other Beaujolais cru wines, their plum and berry flavors outweighing Gamay's traditional floral character.

Georges Descombes Morgon - The most distinctive feature of Morgon's terroir is the weathered, decomposing soil. This is based on of granite and schist, with some volcanic influences. They are rich in iron and contribute an earthy depth to the wines that is rarely found in any of the other Beaujolais Cru.

Georges Descombes Regnie - Regnié is distinguished by the pink granite soils found high in the Beaujolais hills. Here, at some of the highest altitudes in the region. Regnié wines are some of the lightest of the Beaujolais crus, and are fragrant and structured, with refined tannins.

Jamey Whetstone moved out to Napa Valley from his home in South Carolina to manage Mustards Grill in 1996. Simply captivated by the community, lifestyle, and culture of wine country, he found himself quickly growing roots. By 1998, he had begun his winemaking education at Turley Wine Cellars where he would remain in his apprenticeship until 2005. During that time, he spent a summer sabbatical working for the Seysses family at Domaine Dujac in Morey-Saint-Denis and laid the groundwork for Whetstone Wine Cellars, which he founded in 2002. Jamey is consulting winemaker for Noah River Wines.

Laurent-Perrier Brut Rosé La Cuvee Champagne is t

Laurent-Perrier Brut Rosé La Cuvee Champagne is the most recognized rosé champagne in the world. The house uses its proprietary maceration technique and the wine is crafted for a fragrance and not mixed for a color. Held in an elegant bottle inspired by King Henri IV, it has been widely acknowledged for its consistent high quality for more than 40 years, and it is the benchmark for rosé champagne around the world.

Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé is truly remarkable for its highly expressive bouquet, stemming from very careful preservation of fresh fruit aromas during the wine making. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from 10 different "crus " from the North and South areas of the Montagne de Reims, as well as the famous village of Bouzy. Grapes from carefully selected plots are meticulously sorted and de-stemmed before going into the vats, and the controlled maceration helps with the color extraction and the development of the full aromatic richness of the Pinot Noir.

Intensely fruity flavors, clean and slightly sharp, the wine opens to the sensation of freshly picked red berries: strawberries, Morello cherries, black currants and raspberries. The finish is supple and rounded.
