The perfect tote for a bottle of wine, loaf of bread, or whatever else you might be bringing to that holiday party around the corner.

This vinegar is particular because it’s made with sweet wine, which confers a very unique taste.
Locally screen-printed on soft and durable Port Authority pocketed full-length apron.
Punta Crena Liguria
The first jar feels like a special treat, but by the second or third you realize they’re a pantry staple.

J. Lassalle France | Champagne
The Lassalle women tucked this bottling away for seven years, allowing it to slumber on its lees. Well worth the wait, it is a classy and luxurious bottle with a beautiful label to boot.
An essential for Kermit and anyone who ages wine–this corkscrew perfectly opens older wines with the most fragile and challenging corks.

Domaine de Marquiliani Corsica
From a tiny mill in Corsica’s eastern mountains, Douce is soft and tender.
This whole-grain moutarde is enhanced with the addition of grape must, which gives the must-ard a purple color and a unique sweet, savory, spicy flavor.
A. & G. Fantino Italy | Piedmont
Made from Riserva-quality Barolo Nebbiolo, it’s a throwback to the Baroli of yesteryear, profound and stately.
Sesti Italy | Tuscany
With a regal perfume that is both sweet and savory, a ripe berry fruit accented by balmy herbs and earthy wafts of incense, this enthralling Brunello is already approachable, but will reward you if you set aside a few bottles to open over the next ten years.
Riofavara Sicily
This aromatic golden nectar has a buttery richness and just the right amount of spicy kick.
Clos Canarelli Corsica
Fruity nose with a hint of black olive; mild yet richly textured with a soft, peppery finish.

It seems like every day over the last few weeks, we’ve been greeted at the Port of Oakland by dozens of thrilling new wines from France and Italy.

Pairing Pinots in Spring
Coming upon Chris Lee’s Wild Salmon Baked in Fig Leaves with Rosé Butter, I thought, what could be more appropriate right now? The recipe appears a few times across our sixteen-year archive, and the suggested pairings change every time, ranging from lush whites to juicy, light reds, and crisp, mineral rosés in between. For such a simple dish, the possibilities seemed endless. In revisiting, I wanted that same versatility in the glass, and only one word came to mind: Pinot…

Arthur’s wines were the revelation of the trip. For months after, in the group chat with everyone on the tour, my screen would light up with shots of his wines—those incomparably elegant bottles with the stunning labels—standing tall atop the tables of every restaurant the other growers were dining in, in their hometowns or around the world. Arthur was officially the breakout star of the trip...

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!
