Wines In The Collection
La Sœur Cadette France | Beaujolais

Limited Quantities! ~ The 2024 vintage is beautiful and full of fruit and freshness. It's quite delicious and easy to drink; it keeps pulling you back for more!
Nicole Chanrion France | Beaujolais

Nicole Chanrion France | Beaujolais
Just five large casks are filled each year of this bright purple, heavenly scented, juicy Côte-de-Brouilly.
Domaine Dupeuble France | Beaujolais
The result is a pretty, round, and versatile rosé full of notes of red fruit, melon, and rhubarb. It finishes with a subtle herbal note and foodfriendly acidity.
Domaine Chignard France | Beaujolais
An electric lightning bolt of Gamay from a steep, windy hillside.
Bernard Diochon France | Beaujolais
Soulful and savory, with notes of cherries, iron, and smoke, this is cru Beaujolais built to last.
Foillard, Alex France | Beaujolais
A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais
The newest addition to the Thévenets’ Morgons, La Roche Pilée is lush and light at the same time, with a balance of soft minerality referenced in the name (which means crushed rock).
Château Thivin France | Beaujolais
In 1976, Richard Olney took Kermit to visit Château Thivin on their first wine trip together—it was Olney’s top recommendation in the whole region. Brambly and mineral, this bottling exudes both the convivial charm of Gamay and the crunchy intensity of the Côte de Brouilly.

Nicolas Maillart: Our Newest Champagne Producer
It had been many years since we introduced you to a new selection of ours from the Champagne region—not for lack of trying! Last year we finally found what we had been looking for in the small Champagne village of Écueil, on the Montagne de Reims, in the cellars of Nicolas Maillart...
Blending Reds, and Generations at VT
“It was our first big decision together. After two or three hours of tasting, everything was done. When you are on the same page about what an ideal red from Vieux Télégraphe should taste like, it’s done. And that was, for me, a great day—maybe the best day of my life.”
Discovering Pinot Noir: A Collection of Pinots with Regional Appeal
My colleague recently wrote that as much as he loves wines made from obscure varieties from less-traveled corners of France, he relishes the comfort of a classic grape like Pinot Noir. He should look no further than this collection, then, in which the best of both worlds come together...
Quenard: Capturing the Exuberant Alps
It must be bittersweet to show up on your first day as a harvester at Domaine André & Michel Quenard. On the one hand, the land you have come to work is majestic: looking up, vineyards cascade down the steep Coteau de Torméry, and when you gaze southeast on the horizon, the view of the surprisingly close Alps is sublime. On the other hand...
Memories, Wines, and Reflections
In our November newsletter, Kermit reflects on one of his favorite pairings—wine and cardoons. The following excerpt shares his favorite preparations and pairings for the latter...
Domaine Tempier: the Wine, the Family, the Exuberance
Domaine Tempier is a wine—it is also a family; exuberance and finesse are the traits common to both,” wrote Richard Olney back in 1984. What’s remarkable about this simple yet spot on-observation is how true it rang then, how true it rang forty years prior to that, when Tempier had just released its first wine, and how true it still rings today, forty years later.

50th Anniversary Merchandise
When the esteemed French wine artist Michel Tolmer created beautiful artwork for our 50th anniversary, we knew right away that we had to feature it on a few select items of merch. After spending maybe a little too much time researching the options, we landed on a classy, leather-strap cap, a comfortable t-shirt made from 100% cotton, and a tote made with incredibly sturdy, fair-trade, and organic cotton by a certified B corp that invests in the livelihoods of women and farmers of India, featuring three wine sleeves and two other compartments for all of your other needs!
