“My work requires that I spend time in the wine bars of Paris, hoping to run across something worth bringing back. This is called research. First you have to find a good wine bar because most of them serve indifferent wines. Once I find a good one, the chase is on.”
—Kermit Lynch, February 1995

Wines In The Collection
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous. This aroma is beyond belief.
Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy
Displaying both the oyster shell quality we love about Chablis and the sunny orchard fruit notes that make Bourgogne blancs so delicious.
Domaine Michel Brégeon France | Loire
Gorges boasts an incredible texture and tension imparted by decomposed, blue-green igneous rock, seventy-year-old vines, and years-long aging on the lees.
Vignai da Duline Italy | Friuli
Lovely now with a slight chill, their Refosco has a stimulating, stony backbone that ensures a slow evolution through the years.
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica
Not quite Rhône-like and not quite Corsican, this has the best of both worlds, with plenty of palate-staining black fruit to boot.
Davide Vignato Italy | Veneto
In his hometown of Gambellara, a sleepy village about halfway between Verona and Vicenza, Davide Vignato is making waves with his stony, acid-driven white wines.
Bruno Colin France | Burgundy
Lots of herbs and lemon curd precede its dry, racy finish. It’s a mouthwatering, drink-me-now white Burgundy.
Kante Italy | Friuli
Aged eight years before release, the wine is textured, vibrant, and delightfully decadent.
Domaine Hauvette France | Provence
Clairette—a name which translated means clear and bright. The wine certainly is, and at the same time, lush and nervy.
Thierry Germain France | Loire
Burgundian-like in character from its time spent in barrel, the laser-like acidity will become even more enticing with some age.
Ludovic Engelvin France | Languedoc-Roussillon
This wine is full of fresh Grenache fruit, beautifully perfumed, with a refined and elegant finish.
Jean-Baptiste Arena France | Corsica
Lightly golden in color, it conjures up a day spent in the sun: seabreezes and ripe honeydew, including its subtle, savory rind.
Domaine Giudicelli France | Corsica
Muriel Giudicelli’s Patrimonio rouge is elegant, deep, bursting with ripe black fruits, silky smooth, and offering great length.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica
Aromas of black fruit, graphite, wild herbs, and game over firm, stony tannins. Saturated with flavors of the Île de Beauté.
Domaine de Reuilly France | Loire
Gently perfumed and full of fresh berries with the bright, stony finish typical of wines from Reuilly
Villa di Geggiano Italy | Tuscany
A spry blend of nervy Sangiovese, a bit of Syrah, and local Ciliegiolo mingle together for a tart and juicy taste of Tuscan rusticity.
France | Alsace
That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous. This aroma is beyond belief.

France | Loire
A delicate, aromatic red in the “drink now!” vein.

A Pair of 2007 Les Pallières, Straight from Our Cellar
“Les Racines” concentrates on the pretty, flirtatious, seductive, gushing-with-cornucopian-fruit character unique to Pallières. “Terrasse du Diable” has the darker soul, more structure—a more intellectual side, if you will, of the Pallières experience. We found that our two favorite aspects of the Pallières goût de terroir are heightened more when separated...
