Wines In The Collection

Paul Bara France | Champagne
This is the best way to start a dinner party and nothing says the holidays like rosé bubbles. Please imbibe and enjoy.

Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy
A wine of striking finesse that shows off the crunchy red fruit, floral notes, and peppery spice typical of Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s far north.

Ferruccio Carlotto Italy | Alto Adige
Always one of the dreamiest versions of the variety we import—ethereal and bright, with notes of orange peel and pink peppercorn.

Domaine Gachot-Monot France | Burgundy
First, it is impeccable. Second, it does not exceed its appellation; it is not a substitute Romanée Conti; it is a perfect Côte de Nuits-Villages.

J. Lassalle France | Champagne
I know what you’re thinking: red wine from Champagne? Allow me to respond with a resounding yes!

Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace
This is a rich, ample, seductive Pinot with notes of tea leaves, strawberries, and blackberries.

Cuna Italy | Tuscany
Tuscan Pinot Noir—or Pinot Nero, as it’s called there—has no right to be this good.

René Bouvier France | Burgundy
Bouvier fashions a red that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.

Daniel Chotard France | Loire
Previously blended into the domaine’s Sancerre rouge, the Champs d’Alligny is now its own bottling, a successful experiment if there ever was one.

Cuna Italy | Tuscany
By planting Pinot Nero in limestone at high elevation, he has found an unlikely home for the grape, yielding a singular rosso that is anything but international in style.

Régis Bouvier France | Burgundy
This single-vineyard Pinot Noir is what drinking great Burgundy is all about.

France | Burgundy
A sneakily serious Pinot Noir.

Breton to the Max: Beyond Morgon

A good half-century before the now-roaring phenomenon of natural wine took hold, Beaujolais biochemist Jules Chauvet urged local vignerons to “produce wines with low alcohol and a pretty perfume.” If anybody took these words to heart, it is “P’tit Max” Breton…
Twenty Years of An Extraordinary Partnership in Chablis

Rewind twenty years to the birth of Domaine Costal, a singular collaboration between Chablis’s historic Collet family and Kermit, whose appetite for classic Chablis was—and still is—insatiable. As the story goes, Kermit asked vigneron Gilles Collet to separate a little juice from each harvest, age it the traditional way...
Welcome to the Aosta Valley

The mesmerizingly rugged valley is characterized by sheer cliffs on either side—tall, majestic granite peaks more fitting for mountain goats than vines. Incredibly, a precious few hectares of terraced vines cling to the hillsides, mostly to supply the locals with their daily sustenance. The overwhelming majority of the grape farmers here take their grapes to a local cooperative, so estate-bottled wine in this neck of the woods is one of the rarest of Italian wines...
Sangiovese: Only in Tuscany

Unlike Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, which produce prestigious wines around the world, great Sangiovese only comes from one place: Tuscany. From the rolling hills of Chianti Classico to the sunbaked slopes of Montalcino...
Spotlight on Quincy

In 1936, several centuries after Cistercian monks first planted Sauvignon Blanc in Quincy, this commune became the second recognized appellation in France, after Châteauneuf-du-Pape. As recently as fifty years ago, the wines of Quincy were more celebrated in France for quality than Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, and commanded a higher price. Today the appellation has largely faded from recognition...
An Iconic Family’s Most Approachable Wines

Over the last 130 years, as each new generation of the Brunier family has come of age, the elders have carved out a lane for the younger generation to grow and express themselves. In 1891, the original Henri Brunier purchased plots of the wooded, stony plateau in Châteauneuf-du-Pape known as La Crau for his son Hippolyte, who cleared parts of the land to plant his first vine stocks. Nearly a century later...

Never Underestimate Muscadet

Muscadet, the white wine made from Melon de Bourgogne near the city of Nantes along France’s northern Atlantic coast, is the ultimate quaffer: bone-dry, low in alcohol, and bracingly crisp, its ability to quench one’s thirst or wash down salty sea creatures is unparalleled…

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!
