Samplers for the Holidays
If you find yourself especially busy this time of year, without an abundance of time to carefully study every bottle before you buy, our latest collection of curated sampler packs offers a quick and easy way to discover new wines in categories that you already know and enjoy. We have, for example, a 12-pack essential Kermit Lynch of fall selections for around $20 a bottle, a 6-pack that’s all about the charms of Barbera, another 12-pack that embraces France’s legendary appellations, and two more samplers. See below for all of our currently available samplers, and be sure to check back every month for new packs we have added to our site!

Stars of Southern Burgundy
Just a few decades ago, books about Burgundy centered almost exclusively around Chablis and the famed Côte d’Or, leaving out many southern villages, which count among the region’s most exciting pockets of activity today. It’s not that the appellations to the south of Burgundy’s “Golden Slope” didn’t sit atop outstanding terroirs back then—of course they did—but rather that superstar growers in the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais were few and far between. Today, these places are glowing points on the wine map...
Champagne & Sparkling Sale
Now through the end of the year, take 20% off all Champagne & Sparkling Wine. Whether your bubbly of choice is a luxurious and elegant Champagne, a rich yet mineral Vouvray Brut, a versatile Italian Prosecco, or an aromatic Alsatian Crémant, our annual Champagne & Sparkling Sale offers all of these and many more toast-worthy bottles for every occasion.
Goldilocks and the Three Barberas
Sometimes I think Barbera gets lost in the mix of great Piemonte bar-words, most notably Barolo and Barbaresco. While the latter two are geographical zones that produce complex, age-worthy reds from the Nebbiolo variety, Barbera (Bar-BEAR-uh) is a grape that yields some of Piemonte’s most luscious and charming red wines…
New Arrivals
Here is a collection of recent arrivals. Every week, we’ll be adding a dozen or more new arrivals, so check back often for your favorite classics or new discoveries!
This Season’s Staples
It might seem counterintuitive to put the words understated and Sancerre in the same sentence, but the description is befitting of Domaine Roger Neveu, where simply beautiful standards are produced from a family whose agricultural roots date back to the 1600s…
A Classic, Vibrant Vintage from Famille Savary
Certain wine estates are all about the story: centuries of family production, obscure heirloom grape varieties, perilous vertical vineyards, radical production methods... With Domaine Savary, forget the fluff and romantic backstory. Focus instead on what’s in your glass: delicious, vibrant, classic wines that place this among the most consistent, reliable Chablis to be found…
Arretxea in Irouléguy
Oh, how far Irouléguy, the hidden gem of French Basque country, has come! Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local joke went something like this: “How do you say vinegar in Basque? Irouléguy!” Vines covered hardly any ground, and you could count the growers on a single hand. Enter the Riouspeyrous family…
The Carpe Vinum Collection
An ever-changing offering of wines that are just about to sell out; one last opportunity to seize a range of selections before they disappear from our shelves forever.
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!
