Wines In The Collection
La Marca di San Michele Italy | Le Marche
February Adventures Club ~ It’s both inviting––it makes for a lovely apéritif––and angular, prime to accompany lemony pasta dishes, clams, or flavorful and rich vegetarian lasagnas.
Selected by Kermit Lynch France | Southern Rhône
February Adventures Club ~ A fresh, pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds with aromas and flavors of black cherries, stones, and a hint of black olive.
Domaine d'Aupilhac France | Languedoc-Roussillon
February Club Rouge ~ Proof that a great site and honest farming are key to genuine, long-lived wines.
Benoît Cantin France | Burgundy
February Club Rouge ~ From a single-vineyard parcel on one of the family’s most primely positioned slopes, this bottling has more depth, concentration, and brambly tannic punch.
Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône
February Club Bianco ~ Like eating lemon curd at a party that Renoir might have painted—think something like Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette.
Sommariva Italy | Veneto
February Club Gourmand ~ A spritzy rosato with scents of frutti di bosco and wildflowers.
Gallety France | Southern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ A white wine that straddles the northern and southern Rhône.
Corte Gardoni Italy | Veneto
February Club Gourmand ~ A masterful blend of Garganega, Trebbiano, Trebbianello, and Riesling, this perfumed charmer punches far above its weight.
Château La Roque France | Languedoc-Roussillon
February Club Gourmand ~ Lately you may have noticed a rise in freshness, a burst in aromatics, and a softness of texture in La Roque’s wines.
Domaine Trotereau France | Loire
February Club Gourmand ~ This is Sauvignon Blanc unlike any others in the world: textured, lush, full of aromatic gooseberry and passionfruit—all supported by spiny minerality.
Domaine de Fontsainte France | Languedoc-Roussillon
February Club Gourmand ~ The accents of herbal garrigue and vineyard stones offer just enough earthy terroir to counterbalance the chewy black fruit and mouth-coating wild brambleberry, making this bargain red the right bottle to uncork at any which moment.
Domaine Gramenon France | Southern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ A pure Syrah bottling offering wild flavors of the Provençal countryside gently wrapped in a thick coat of tooth-staining deep purple fruit.
Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.
Robert Chevillon France | Burgundy
February Club Gourmand ~ Today, awareness of Passetoutgrain has largely faded, but if you look closely in cellars throughout Burgundy, you’ll notice many of the greatest domaines continue to uphold this tradition.
Lionel Faury France | Northern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ Made from vines planted between 1937 and 1976, this cuvée showcases impressive depth and soul.
Domaine de Durban France | Southern Rhône
February Club Gourmand ~ Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style.
Mas Champart France | Languedoc-Roussillon
March Adventures ~ This Languedoc beauty could easily be taken for its Provençal cousin—that is, until you see the price tag.
Domaine Maestracci France | Corsica
March Adventures ~ This bottle is benchmark Corsica at a weeknight price.
Ferruccio Carlotto Italy | Alto Adige
March Rouge ~ Exquisite Italian Alpine character that could come from nowhere else in the world—one of Italy’s most beguiling hidden gems.
Nicole Chanrion France | Beaujolais
March Rouge ~ Nicole Chanrion crafts delicious Beaujolais the traditional way, by hand-harvesting, fermenting with whole clusters, and patiently aging in large oak foudres.
Kuentz-Bas France | Alsace
March Chevalier ~ This mouthwatering and impeccably balanced Riesling is a testament to the majestic heights Alsace’s grands crus can reach.
Domaine Chignard France | Beaujolais
March Chevalier ~ This Fleurie beautifully combines high-toned finesse with a potent depth. Can a wine be delicately intense?
Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino Italy | Piedmont
March Chevalier ~ Ripe, deep, and almost extravagant in its breadth of aroma and flavor, while a dense, tightly knit core of firm acidity and fine-grained tannins make up a rigid spine.
Bernard Baudry France | Loire
March Chevalier ~ Even though all of the wines hail from Chinon, the soil, elevation, and exposition all combine to make Le Clos Guillot their cuvée with the most finesse.
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils France | Burgundy
March Bianco ~ Pinot Beurot is the Burgundian name for their local strand of Pinot Gris. It is unique and delicious and showcases an interesting bit of Burgundy’s history.
Domaine Les Hauts Lieux France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
March Bianco ~ Day 2: A remote Alpine blanc for jaded palates seeking new thrills
Italy | Le Marche
February Adventures Club ~ It’s both inviting––it makes for a lovely apéritif––and angular, prime to accompany lemony pasta dishes, clams, or flavorful and rich vegetarian lasagnas.

Côte Rôtie: Rediscovering the Jewel
Hard to believe, but by the 1960s most of the Côte-Rôtie was abandoned to wild brush. One could earn far more money growing apricots along the Rhône than one could growing grapes on the slopes above.

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!
