Rosé Sale
by Tom Wolf
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. I know that, pretty much whatever recipe I choose, the rosés we import—with their mix of fruit and lively acidity—will serve as easy and inspired pairings for a wide range of cuisines.
On a recent night, for instance, I made a lemony, cheesy pasta bake loaded with Brussels sprouts and pulled out a Gamay rosé from the Beaujolais. Evoking red berries and grapefruit, the wine sang alongside the hearty, citrusy vegetarian pasta. It also paired beautifully the next night with a simple seared tuna and avocado salad. The next week, Fontsainte’s Gris de Gris was an easy choice for both butter paneer one night and coleslaw topped with shrimp and a hoisin-peanut dressing the next.
The truth is, though, almost all of our rosés would have gone beautifully with these meals and continue to make me actually want to keep my resolution going as long as possible.

Latest Finds from Kermit’s Cellar
Who hasn’t felt a pang of jealousy reading about the wines Kermit tasted in damp, dark French cellars and vigneron dining rooms during his early adventures on the wine route? 1959 Joguet Chinon, 1955 Tempier rouge, 1942 Chave Hermitage—each vibrant, alive, and in their prime, despite their many years in bottle. That’s why we take such pleasure in unearthing aged bottles we’ve tucked away over the years to share with you…
The Spirit of Le Sud
Defining the “South of France” is not as easy as one might expect. After all, everything is relative: Parisians may feel they’ve reached the South as soon as they hit Lyon, but to residents of Provence, Lyon may as well be the North Pole. Having made the drive from Burgundy to Provence many times, I have formed my own opinion of where the border lies...
Fine Wine Bargains
Once I left Burgundy and began exploring elsewhere, I noticed that France and Italy produced incredible bargains, especially if one looked where no one else was looking. Nothing makes me prouder (commercially speaking, anyway) than returning home with yet another fine wine bargain for you...

It has been our joy to introduce you to benchmark domaines such as Lapierre, Foillard, and Château Thivin, and now there is a new name to remember…

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!
