The Carpe Vinum collection is an ever-changing offering of wines that are just about to sell out; one last opportunity to seize a range of selections before they disappear from our shelves forever. Maybe it’s the last few bottles before the next vintage arrives, or a rare bottling we got so little of in the first place that we weren’t able to share it in the newsletter or in an email.
Currently, you’ll find a charming rouge from French Catalonia that is dark-fruited velvet in a bottle, a citrusy and floral sparkler from Sicily, a complex and compelling orange wine from Davide Vignato, and a sunny, soulful Carignan blend from the Languedoc—all priced to encourage new discoveries or revisit old favorites. We will continue to update this collection regularly as wines sell out, so check back often!

A Visit to Punta Crena
For years, I’ve been dying to take my husband on an Italian adventure. I wanted to fully immerse ourselves in the culture, eat the food, see vineyards, and experience all of the things that I love about Italy. This spring, I finally settled on Piemonte and Liguria, and from the beginning, I knew I wanted to visit our only producer along the Ligurian coast: Punta Crena…
A Pioneering Family in French Wine
Lapierre is still on the cutting edge globally of what can be achieved with zero-intervention, totally free winemaking, which of course must by definition start with maniacal viticulture that produces grapes that can stand up to the rigors of their technique (or lack thereof!). The Lapierre name remains a benchmark for the greatest Gamay produced on planet Earth. These wines are delicious proof...

Le Marche may well be Italy’s most underrated region. Featuring striking landscapes from mountains down to the Adriatic Sea, countless quaint villages largely ignored by tourists, and an irresistible local cuisine, it is a hidden treasure oozing with charm and authenticity…
This Just In!
The old winemaking adage says that you only have one shot each year to get the vintage right. While this idea may be daunting to a vigneron, we see things a bit differently: one vintage per year means that we are always looking forward to a new batch of wines from all our favorite producers…

Joie de Vivre and a Zeal for Burgundian Terroir
In a way, it’s a blessing that Valentin Montanet’s northern corner of Burgundy isn’t home to any premiers or grands crus. Under no pressure to do anything too grand or fussy with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, or Melon de Bourgogne, Valentin’s greatest ambition is to make the most pure and joyous whites and reds possible…

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!
