Supple, pretty notes of freshly crushed blackberries and raspberries—it will pair well with pretty much anything.
France | Beaujolais
In classic Thévenet fashion, the wine is bright and energetic—a snappy Chardonnay that tastes like fresh green apple skin with a whisper of gentian.
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
A model of lightness and drinkability for southern reds!
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Earthy, meaty, savory, juicy, and powerful, it is a glassful of joyful, soulful goodness.
France | Corsica
It is the up-and-coming white Corsican grape, rapidly winning back the reputation it had earned so long ago.
France | Alsace
Dense and chiseled, this is serious Riesling, a wine whose deep complexity has only just begun to emerge beneath layers of chewy flesh, stone, and steely acidity.
Italy | Friuli
Lovely now with a slight chill, their Refosco has a stimulating, stony backbone that ensures a slow evolution through the years.
France | Beaujolais
Its shimmering red fruit comes alive with a nice chill.
France | Burgundy
If you look closely in cellars throughout Burgundy, you’ll notice many of the greatest domaines continue to uphold this tradition.
France | Northern Rhône
With lovely notes of currant and violets, this bright, crunchy wine is irresistible in its youth. Serve cool with just about anything.
France | Provence
This gorgeous blend of Vermentino, Ugni Blanc, Sémillon, and Clairette is both fleshy and mineral-driven.

Melon de Bourgogne’s Multitudes
It is one of those charming French wine-isms that Melon de Bourgogne is rarely produced in Bourgogne. The grape is better known these days in the Loire Valley, where it yields delicate, citrusy Muscadet, one of France’s most quintessential seafood whites. Long ago, I didn’t consider Melon far beyond this, until I was invited to a Muscadet dinner at a restaurant called Prime Meats…
Domaine Giacometti: A Desert Oasis
Compared to our other Patrimonio growers in northern Corsica—the Arena family, Yves Leccia, and Muriel Giudicelli—Domaine Giacometti is quite removed from the village of Patrimonio itself, nearly an hour’s drive to the west on the opposite side of the gulf of St. Florent. Their vineyards live in the largely uninhabited Agriate desert, a rugged nature reserve with a jagged coastline that was once the “breadbasket” of Corsica, as its name (which refers to “agrarian”) suggests. Wheat, olives and citrus trees once grew here, providing the island with a wealth of resources. On the route to visit the Giacomettis this past June…
Wine for a Warm Summer Night in Bologna (or Berkeley)
As a college student, I once spent a warm evening sitting on the cobblestones of Bologna’s Piazza Verdi, in a circle of friends, surrounded by clusters of the city’s electric youth. Most were lost in animated, intense, and jovial conversations. Some had stood up and started to dance to a spontaneous, unpolished brass-and-percussion ensemble. My friends and I talked and observed, nursing our Negronis from the nearby bar. I didn’t know about Lambrusco back then…
Crack It Open
Most of the bottles we import feature a cork, but every so often, we’ll find a demijohn, keg, wine box, or screw cap bottle peeking out of a corner in a cellar in France and Italy. After all, some situations call for a cork-less delivery system…
Terroir to Boast About
When I asked the Laboucarié family recently if the golden accents on their labels are a nod to their sliver of Corbières known as the Golden Crescent, I was surprised to hear that artistic choice was a total coincidence. After all, this area is prime land in Corbières…
Cool Beaujolais with Tomato Tart
It’s officially tomato season on the East Coast. Last Sunday morning I bee-lined it to the produce stand at my farmer’s market that sells Jersey-grown tomatoes where, not surprisingly, a line was already forming. Every year they have the best selection of plump and colorful heirloom varieties: orangey-red Beefsteaks, golden Persimmons, and rosy Brandywines…

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!
