Wines In The Collection

Cantine Elvio Tintero Italy | Piedmont
October Adventures Club ~ The unique blend of Favorita, Moscato, Arneis, and Chardonnay is dry but not tart, fruity but not cloying, and held together with a gentle effervescence.

Château Thivin France | Beaujolais
October Adventures Club ~ Precision, soaring floral aromatics, finely etched tannins, a ripe core of dense fruit, and a granitic crunch on the back end.

Mas Champart France | Languedoc-Roussillon
October Club Rouge ~ A Mourvèdre-majority masterpiece, lots of pleasure and even more soul.

Jean Foillard France | Beaujolais
October Club Rouge ~ Silky and seductive, with notes of rose petals, red berries, and stones.

Domaine Taupenot-Merme France | Burgundy
October Club Bianco ~ A bouquet of orchard blossoms and buttery brioche opens to lemon curd and almond notes on the palate, finishing with a pleasant creaminess backed by chiseled acidity.

Domaine du Salvard France | Loire
October Club Gourmand ~ Sauvignon and a splash of Chardonnay: the epitome of minerally Loire refreshment

André & Michel Quenard France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
October Club Gourmand ~ This Jacquère grown on Savoie’s limestone mountainsides may be the crispest beverage to ever grace your palate.

Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
October Club Gourmand ~ This wine shows how understated, finessed, and downright glorious dry Pinot Gris can be in Alsace.

Manni Nössing Italy | Alto Adige
October Club Gourmand ~ No lack of minerality in this perfumed white from the Italy-Austria border.

Clos La Coutale France | Southwest
October Club Gourmand ~ If nearby Bordeaux is the polished and urbane one in the family, Cahors is the sneakily sophisticated but humbler country cousin, loaded with personality you’ll enjoy getting to know.

Domaine de Reuilly France | Loire
October Club Gourmand ~ Gently perfumed and full of fresh berries with the bright, stony finish typical of wines from Reuilly

Domaine Giacometti France | Corsica
October Club Gourmand ~ Our best value in Patrimonio offers notes of game and herbs over chewy tannins.

Ferruccio Carlotto Italy | Alto Adige
October Club Gourmand ~ This cuvée is dark-fruited velvet in a bottle.

Peter Dipoli Italy | Alto Adige
October Club Gourmand ~ Notes of Cassis, black cherries, and espresso draw you into the glass and keep you coming back to decipher what makes this cuvée and terroir so special.

Pascal Janvier France | Loire
November Adventures Club ~ Racy, slightly honeyed, exotically perfumed, and loaded with minerality, this wine is an excellent representation of how Chenin reacts to the local conditions.

Selected by Kermit Lynch France | Southern Rhône
November Adventures Club ~ Hailing from a parcel of co-planted vines adjacent to the family home, these varieties were planted together with the express purpose of making the house rouge, the everyday vibrant and juicy drink you’d bring to the table in a jug and drink out of a cup.

La Soeur Cadette France | Burgundy
November Club Rouge ~ All you need to know is that this wine drinks like a Beaujolais with loads of black, sappy fruit and is ounce per ounce more pleasurable and delicious than anything you’d find in a collector’s stash.

Elvio Tintero Italy
November Club Rouge ~ Gentle tannins and mouthwatering red fruit—this is young Barbaresco at its most pleasurable.

Giulia Negri Italy | Piedmont
November Club Chevalier ~ The wines produced from La Tartufaia are textbook examples of classically structured Barolo typical of the area.

Domaine du Gros ’Noré France | Provence
November Club Chevalier ~ Day 5: A wine that’s as luxurious to drink as putting on a pair of slippers

Foillard, Alex France | Beaujolais
November Club Chevalier ~ A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.

Clos Saint-Joseph France | Provence
November Club Chevalier ~ This gorgeous blend of Vermentino, Ugni Blanc, Sémillon, and Clairette is both fleshy and mineral driven.

Guy Breton France | Beaujolais
November Club Chevalier ~ French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan says nostalgia is the longing for a past that never was. But, hand to god, this year's Cuvee Marylou tastes just like the raspberry thumbprint cookies my mother used to make for Christmas.

Domaine Montanet-Thoden France | Burgundy
November Club Bianco ~ Climate, a clay-and-limestone soil, and stainless-steel vinification are the pillars of Valentin’s Galerne blanc, a divine rendition of pure, chiseled Chardonnay.

Albert Boxler France | Alsace
November Club Bianco ~ Earthy Pinot Gris as dramatic and flinty as this, with a hint of residual sugar, demands an assertive pairing; try it with smoked sausage and mustard.

Italy | Piedmont
October Adventures Club ~ The unique blend of Favorita, Moscato, Arneis, and Chardonnay is dry but not tart, fruity but not cloying, and held together with a gentle effervescence.
