Domaine Trotereau France | Loire
October Adventures Club ~ You’ll appreciate the distinctive flavor profile: born from warmer soils, it tastes of ripe, succulent citrus devoid of grassiness, while boasting the same flinty nerve as a good Sancerre.
Selected by Kermit Lynch France | Southern Rhône
October Adventures Club ~ We aimed for maximum drinkability in our blend, and accordingly, you’ll find plenty of hedonistic purple-tinged fruit in this wine, along with a hint of wild herbs and lovely floral notes akin to lavender and violet.
Guy Breton France | Beaujolais
October Club Rouge ~ Leave it to Breton to take summer heat and turn it into a light summer breeze in a glass.
A. & G. Fantino Italy | Piedmont
October Club Rouge ~ Perfumed Nebbiolo fruit and tender tannins encourage pulling the cork just for the sake of quenching one’s thirst.
Domaine Ostertag France | Alsace
October Club Bianco ~ This zippy Riesling from Ostertag is bone dry and thirst quenching.
Domaine Giudicelli France | Corsica
October Club Bianco ~ It’s beautifully ethereal, with pillowy fruit that tastes so sublime it would be limiting to attempt a description, although quince and verbena jump to mind.
I Pástini Italy | Puglia
Open this alongside a bowl of fennel taralli, the donut-shaped Puglian cracker that has become my go-to aperitivo snack.
Prieuré de Saint Céols France | Loire
October Club Gourmand ~ Farmed organically and fermented with native yeasts, it is a delicious and stimulating Loire white that provides guaranteed refreshment and pairs wonderfully with all sorts of salads and seafood.
Domaine Les Pallières France | Southern Rhône
October Club Gourmand ~ This Gigondas rosé is a real pleasure to be around. It’s seasonally versatile and could quite possibly be the most food friendly rosé we carry!
Les Eminades France | Languedoc-Roussillon
October Club Gourmand ~ Full of freshness and detailed elegance, with not a hint of rusticity.
Château Moulin Pey-Labrie France | Bordeaux
October Club Gourmand ~ Divine with lemon and rosemary roasted lamb.
Château Thivin France | Beaujolais
October Club Gourmand ~ This bottling is classic Brouilly, balanced and old-school, and showcases the beauty of Gamay
Jean Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais
October Club Gourmand ~ Here is a rich, bold Régnié, saturated with luscious fruit and earthy spice.
Jean Foillard France | Beaujolais
October Club Gourmand ~ Silky and seductive, with notes of rose petals, red berries, and stones.
Domaine de Fontsainte France | Languedoc-Roussillon
November Adventures Club ~ For this perennially over-delivering cuvée, Bruno Laboucarié blends two parts Carignan with one part Grenache and a splash of Syrah to produce a vibrant country red reminiscent of black cherries and spice.
Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy
November Club Rouge ~ Epineuil shares the prized Kimmeridgian marl that makes up the soils of Chablis, and this rouge echoes the bright, mineral backbone that characterizes Lavantureux whites.
Yves Leccia France | Corsica
November Club Chevalier ~ Sun-ripened fruit, sea-mist salinity, and an alluring note of fresh herbs.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci France | Corsica
November Club Chevalier ~ This versatile and refined Corsican blend is my favorite wine to take to dinner. It’s always dressed to impress and pairs well with all kinds of fare.
Domaine Maestracci France | Corsica
November Club Chevalier ~ The island of Corsica is only a few hours by ferry from mainland France, but when you arrive, you get the sense you’ve set foot in a partly foreign country.
Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica
November Club Chevalier ~ The name is Corsican for “always happy,” and you’ll understand exactly why immediately upon pulling the cork.
Domaine de Villaine France | Burgundy
November Club Bianco ~ Despite its voluptuousness, the wine is dry, fresh, very stony, and even salty.
Régis Minet France | Loire
November Club Bianco ~ Sauvignon Blanc has many incarnations throughout the world, but even in the Loire Valley—the grape’s spiritual home—Pouilly Fumé represents a very distinctive example.
France | Loire

Nicolas Maillart: Our Newest Champagne Producer
It had been many years since we introduced you to a new selection of ours from the Champagne region—not for lack of trying! Last year we finally found what we had been looking for in the small Champagne village of Écueil, on the Montagne de Reims, in the cellars of Nicolas Maillart...
Blending Reds, and Generations at VT
“It was our first big decision together. After two or three hours of tasting, everything was done. When you are on the same page about what an ideal red from Vieux Télégraphe should taste like, it’s done. And that was, for me, a great day—maybe the best day of my life.”
Discovering Pinot Noir: A Collection of Pinots with Regional Appeal
My colleague recently wrote that as much as he loves wines made from obscure varieties from less-traveled corners of France, he relishes the comfort of a classic grape like Pinot Noir. He should look no further than this collection, then, in which the best of both worlds come together...
Quenard: Capturing the Exuberant Alps
It must be bittersweet to show up on your first day as a harvester at Domaine André & Michel Quenard. On the one hand, the land you have come to work is majestic: looking up, vineyards cascade down the steep Coteau de Torméry, and when you gaze southeast on the horizon, the view of the surprisingly close Alps is sublime. On the other hand...

Domaine Tempier: the Wine, the Family, the Exuberance
Domaine Tempier is a wine—it is also a family; exuberance and finesse are the traits common to both,” wrote Richard Olney back in 1984. What’s remarkable about this simple yet spot on-observation is how true it rang then, how true it rang forty years prior to that, when Tempier had just released its first wine, and how true it still rings today, forty years later.

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!
