Pascal Janvier France | Loire
February Adventures Club ~ Exotically perfumed with hints of guava, musk, and clove, it finishes dry and quite flinty.
Tenuta La Pergola Italy | Piedmont
February Adventures Club ~ The old-school, vino rosso of our dreams—serve it chilled, perhaps in a glass pitcher, for full trattoria effect.
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux France | Southern Rhône
February Club Rouge ~ The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.
Domaine Ostertag France | Alsace
February Club Bianco ~ This vintage might fool you for an oyster wine. Let it!
Catherine & Pierre Breton France | Loire
February Club Bianco ~ Delicate, precise, and succulent at the same time, this beautiful blanc will pair well with fresh seafood and light summer salads and pastas.
Gregoletto Italy | Veneto
February Club Gourmand ~ This brisk, fizzy, stony nectar has an undeniable gift for bestowing unparalleled palate stimulation and mental reinvigoration.
André & Michel Quenard France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
February Club Gourmand ~ This Jacquère grown on Savoie’s limestone mountainsides may be the crispest beverage to ever grace your palate.
Manni Nössing Italy | Alto Adige
February Club Gourmand ~ A vibrant, crisp, taut, white grown at over 600 meters in granite soil in the very northern part of Italy.
Patrick Bottex France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
February Club Gourmand ~ This is a universally loved pink bubbly delight of candied strawberries and roses, always true and always exquisite.
Domaine d’Aupilhac France | Languedoc-Roussillon
February Club Gourmand ~ A chillable red to accompany anything right off the grill, it is one of our most youthful and exuberant expressions of the Languedoc.
Bernard Baudry France | Loire
February Club Gourmand ~ Les Granges is the Baudry cuvée to drink in its youth, while the perfume of rose petals and brambly berries is at its most vivid and vibrant.
Domaine Chignard France | Beaujolais
February Club Gourmand ~ Showcasing notes of brambly fruit, violet, stone, and smoke, this classic bottling of Les Moriers offers so much to love.
Piero Benevelli Italy | Piedmont
February Club Gourmand ~ Intermingling orange zest with roses, red fruits, and a fine tannin, it is utterly enchanting and begs to be paired with a polenta topped with mushrooms or braised beef (or both!).
Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ Young vines in Mauves, short maceration, stainless-steel aged... but definitely no simple Syrah!
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
February Club Gourmand ~ Crack it open now; aromas of tart blackberries and mint will waft out of the bottle, a perfect reminder of summer and outdoor grilling.
Domaine Dupeuble France | Beaujolais
March Adventures Club ~ Do not miss this outstanding, value-driven Chardonnay from one of our most beloved French domaines.
Château Moulin France | Bordeaux
March Club Rouge ~ You may find it to be leaner and livelier than the rich, plush Merlots of Pomerol and Saint Emilion
Benoît Cantin France | Burgundy
From a single-vineyard parcel on one of the family’s most primely positioned slopes, this bottling has more depth, concentration, and brambly tannic punch.
Vignedimare Italy | Sicily
March Club Chevalier ~ Nino Caravaglio’s Scampato is a smoky and lifted rosso abounding with wild red fruit and minerality that evokes the volcanic soil.
Domaine d’Aupilhac France | Languedoc-Roussillon
March Club Chevalier ~ Fadat’s bottlings from this terroir have proven to be among the most complex and elegant wines of southern France.
Vigneti Vecchio Italy | Sicily
March Club Chevalier ~ Hints of ripe cherry and tar soar from the glass, and the chewy mouthfeel is marked by an undeniable volcanic grit—a signature of Etna reds.
Château Thivin France | Beaujolais
March Club Chevalier ~ This is a true homage cuvée, with an old-fashioned soul and vibrant energy.
Davide Vignato Italy | Veneto
March Club Chevalier ~ Volcanic soils confer mouthwatering salinity to the Garganega grape in this racy, textured white.
Frédéric & Daniel Brunier France | Southern Rhône
March Club Bianco ~ Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
March Club Bianco ~ It has a melony, jasmine scent, a frothy texture, and when paired with spicy wontons, dry-pepper chicken, and sesame noodles—though untraditional—was revelatory!
France | Loire
February Adventures Club ~ Exotically perfumed with hints of guava, musk, and clove, it finishes dry and quite flinty.

Snowed in, Tuscan Style
On a Friday afternoon last month, as a winter storm closed in on my mountain town, I made a few last-minute stops to stock up on provisions for what promised to be a snowed-in weekend. The final stop on my checklist was my local butcher, to pick up a cut of pork I’d never considered preparing before Chez Panisse chef Gary Podesto created a recipe he called “Coppa à la Matignon” for our Adventures Club last winter…
Closing Ceremony in Verona
From the volcanic Garganegas of Davide Vignato to the lively whites and reds of Corte Gardoni to the majestic reds of Quintarelli, all of these wines would be right at home among the dazzling fireworks and spectacle of the closing ceremony in nearby Verona...
Preserving and Enhancing Aeolian Winemaking Traditions
The magnificent Aeolian Islands are a string of volcanic islands north of Sicily that include Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli (an active volcano), Filicudi, and Alicudi. Capers are a primary local export, particularly from Salina and Lipari—the two largest and most populous of the islands— but Antonino “Nino” Caravaglio is at once the caper champion of the region and its wine maestro. He has built what is unquestionably the most qualitative collection of vineyards and wines in this little slice of Italy…
New Arrivals
Here is a collection of recent arrivals. Every week, we’ll be adding a dozen or more new arrivals, so check back often for your favorite classics or new discoveries!
The Carpe Vinum Collection
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.
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!
