Coast to Coast on the Half Shell

Oysters, like wine, reflect their terroir. Those from the choppy, cold, and salty Atlantic have smooth, shallow shells. Their delicate, slightly translucent flesh is clean and crisp, with a refreshing burst of brine. The Pacific Ocean is gentler and more mild; its oysters are deep-cupped with scalloped edges, and the pearly, opaque flesh has a richer, creamy texture, with a kiss of melony sweetness...
Jean Foillard’s Signature Style

Kermit once lamented in Adventures that over the course of the 20th century the “hard-earned knowledge of the ancients [had] been discarded, almost overnight, in the name of progress.” The cost to the wine world was that so much vitality—in both the vineyard and what we poured in our glasses—was being extinguished. Meanwhile, in the Beaujolais, years before meeting Kermit, Jean Foillard and his group of friends were similarly stricken by the same sense of loss. Craving something more real, more lively and honest to drink, they abandoned the “progressive” status quo. ...
48 Hours in the Gard

On a gloomy afternoon in March of last year, I stood on the Pont du Gard being pelted by cold rain. Moments earlier, a strong gust of the mistral had swept down the Gardon River, snapping in half the €10 umbrella I’d bought from an Avignon Monoprix that morning. My clothes were soaked. I was still working off my jet lag…

Jamet’s complex, balanced, age-worthy, classic Côte-Rôtie bottling is the beneficiary of the blending philosophy, and represents the pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.
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...
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...
