Spotlight on Domaine de Durban

The Leydiers of Domaine de Durban are now among our longest-standing partners and, while for the first two decades, we imported only their Muscat, a luscious pre- or post-dinner nectar, today, we also import a handful of cuvées that represent some of the greatest values in the entire Rhône Valley...
Rosé Sale

One month into 2025, my strongest resolution has been a renewed commitment to cook more. I chalk my hot streak up to a wealth of quick and easy recipes I’ve stumbled upon, but what helps even more is the fridge full of inspiring, ready-to-pair rosés I keep on hand…
The Natural World of Thierry Germain

Not long after settling in Saumur in the nineties, Thierry Germain started farming organically, and soon thereafter, he embraced biodynamics. It resonated with him that a holistic approach, with ethical and respectful practices in the vineyard and toward those who helped him work the land (animal and human), was crucial to making the best possible wines…
A Rare Find in the Northern Rhône

Kermit was one of the first American buyers to recognize the potential in the appellation of Saint-Joseph, the series of rolling granite hills on the west side of the Rhône River between Ampuis (Côte-Rôtie) and Tournon-sur-Rhône (Hermitage) planted to Syrah.
A New Era for the Bouvier Family

Provençal Gems from North of Nice

Today I had the Clos Saint-Joseph blanc. I imagine if François Raveneau had made wine there, his blanc would have tasted like Roch’s. What a pure expression of that fabulous terroir. Filtered by the stones. — Kermit Lynch

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!
