Les Eminades France | Languedoc-Roussillon
June Club Rouge ~ This stylish cuvée of mostly Grenache captures France’s Mediterranean in all its fragrant glory.
Fattoria Moretto Italy | Emilia-Romagna
June Club Gourmand ~ This is a rare treat from Lambrusco country, and pairs perfectly with salty snacks like prosciutto and aged parmesean.
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace

Héritage du Pic Saint Loup France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Deeply vinous, yet immensely refreshing, it delivers a juicy burst of wild strawberry and lingering salinity that inspire sip after sip.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie France | Loire
Smooth and seductive on the palate, Cuvée Beauvais offers silky fruit and florals—like blackberries and roses, without the thorns.
Riofavara Italy | Sicily
June Club Gourmand ~ The Padova family’s Spaccaforno is generous but not heavy, with suggestions of blackberry, licorice, and spice leading to a lively, chalky finish.
Nicole Chanrion France | Beaujolais
Stony, faintly spicy, and elegant, it’s the kind of bottle you want to pop open again as soon as the first is drained.
Mas Champart France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Made mostly from Syrah—with a splash of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault—this cuvée is all about the terroir. Along with soulful, dark fruit, you can taste the stoniness in the wine. Cool it down, decant it in any kind of vase you have handy, and serve it the next time you fire up your grill.

Selected by Kermit Lynch France | Southern Rhône

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…
Passing the Torch at Mas Champart
If you have never tried the wines of Mas Champart, or haven’t tasted them in a while, now is a great time to tune back in to the story of one of the south’s great domaines. We are excited to watch Noémie carry the Mas Champart baton...

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!
