Wines In The Collection

André et Michel Quenard France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
Grown on near-vertical limestone scree slopes, Bergeron reaches incredible heights here, yielding a blanc full of character and flavors of peach, tangerine, and pine resin.

I Pástini Italy | Puglia
You’ll recognize the root verde in Verdeca, the grape variety in this snappy and slightly aromatic Italian white, and the reason won’t be lost on you.

Domaine du Gros ‘Noré France | Provence
Crisp and characterful, and loaded with Provençal complexity, it’s a balanced blend of structured Mourvèdre with equal parts Cinsault, a more delicate variety, and fruit-forward Grenache.

La Soeur Cadette France | Burgundy
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.

André & Michel Quenard France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
Travel no further than Chignin, where the Quenard family bottles a Roussanne (dubbed Bergeron in these parts) that will exceed your wildest expectations.

I Pástini Italy | Puglia
A delicious aperitivo, it can seamlessly pair with anything you throw its way.

Gregoletto Italy | Veneto
The 2021 has a sweet nose with summery whiffs of peach and apricot, a silky mid-palate, and a lovely citrus and mineral finish.

Davide Vignato Italy | Veneto
It’s made from his oldest, highest-altitude vines trained in the traditional pergola style, creating a beautiful canopy from which his Garganega dangles in slinky, loose bunches.

Cantine Valpane Italy | Piedmont
A grape native to the Monferrato hills of Piedmont, Grignolino will surprise you; first with its pale garnet color and then with its rather summery nose of peach and blueberry.
Clark's Pick

Domaine de Terrebrune France | Provence
Too much rosé is drunk up too early in its life. Thankfully we still have nice stock of the 2021 Terrebrune rosé, which is FINALLY hitting its peak 18 months after its release. Is this our best rosé right now? Only one way to find out...

Domaine Hauvette France | Provence
Beautiful color, fresh-squeezed citrus and stone-fruit nose, luminous and invigorating while round and luscious at the same time.

Domaine Hauvette France | Provence
A gorgeous perfume of honeysuckle meets the nose, and the wine is at once both lush and nervy, comforting and stimulating.

Domaine de la Tour du Bon France | Provence
The 2019 Tour du Bon rouge, with its juicy nose and bright, crunchy fruit, its mouthwatering acidity and peppery verve, is particularly elegant.

Régis Bouvier France | Burgundy
I find the Clos du Roy blanc to be quite versatile at my house in Meursault, especially with fowl, pork, and veal.

Domaine Michel Brégeon France | Loire
A subtly floral nose and textured mouthfeel seal the deal. This is off-the-charts Muscadet.

Éric Chevalier France | Loire
Eric’s latest cuvée, a cranberry-orange tinted Cabernet Franc rosé, is a mouthwatering homage to the carefree moments in life.

Catherine & Pierre Breton France | Loire
This wine in the Breton book is a pure old-vine Grolleau from soils of clay and silex.

Domaine Arretxea France | Southwest
Any lover of whites from Chablis or the Loire should try this white made of Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, and Petit Courbu.

Albert Boxler France | Alsace
Here is a Riesling that will have you contemplating texture and terroir above anything else.

Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
A fragrant blend of mostly Riesling and Muscat, Félix Meyer’s organically grown Gentil is crisp and lean and works like a reset button for your palate.

Kuentz-Bas France | Alsace
Bright, lively, and fun, with just the right of amount of tannin for some chew as well.

Vigne Rada Italy | Sardinia
Delightfully crisp in its youth, it reveals a surprising complexity and depth after two or three years in bottle.

Deperu Holler Italy | Sardinia
This inky, chewy blend of Cannonau with the native Muristellu boasts a strikingingly wild perfume that soars from the glass.

Maison Arretxea France | Southwest

New Arrivals from the Savary Family

Olivier Savary was not always destined to make wine. Even though many of his relatives around the Chablisien village of Maligny did, a string of challenging harvests had discouraged Olivier’s parents from joining the family business.
Pleasures of the Languedoc Collection

For years, Kermit has praised the pleasures of the Languedoc and the rewards in store for those willing to explore it: “If you’re looking for value, look where no one else is looking.” It’s been 31 years since he penned that phrase, and the Languedoc is still home to our very best values in French wine. Now through the end of the month, take 20% off dozens of garrigue-laden reds, evocative whites, and thirst-quenching rosés from France’s most underrated region.
Heirloom Grapes of France and Italy

Here you will discover twelve examples from Italian and French vignerons who have resisted the tendency to globalize their vineyards, honorably sustaining the varieties native to their respective terroirs.
Jean Foillard: Humble Legend of Morgon

Even the most renowned vignerons in Villié-Morgon tend to be laid back and unassuming despite the monumental Gamays they produce—perhaps none more so than Jean Foillard. One of Morgon’s “Gang of Four” Kermit first championed thirty years ago, Jean farms some of the cru’s most celebrated vineyards and his translation of these schist, granite, and sandstone terroirs is never anything short of breathtaking.
The Joyous Wines of Les Pallières

For me, it’s no surprise—legend has it that Gigondas derived its name many moons ago from jucunda, Latin for “joyous.”
Alpine Charms from the Quenards

When I moved to Burgundy many years ago, I befriended a young Savoyard who had recently inherited some family vineyards, and he invited me for a tour of his vines in the village of Chignin. Having never set foot in Chignin, nor ever tasted a wine from Savoie, I gladly accepted his invitation.
From the Loire to Italy, a Grape with Many Faces
While passing by a restaurant recently, I overheard a customer order a glass of “the Sauvignon Blanc.” I wondered what she’d end up with, where this wine was from and who had made it––all the while lamenting the use of a grape variety to convey an entire category. It got me thinking of all the possibilities that might fall under the umbrella of Sauvignon Blanc, especially when considering the diverse selections within our own portfolio.
Manni Nössing’s Mountain Gems

With our spirits high and palates cleansed, we left the winery awed by his Kerner: a wine of pinpoint focus, featuring aromas of tropical fruit that jump out of the glass. Equally stunning is the Veltliner.
Recent Wine Club Selections

Our five wine clubs feature our best values from France and Italy as well as complex and cellar-worthy wines.
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!
