Never Underestimate Muscadet

Muscadet, the white wine made from Melon de Bourgogne near the city of Nantes along France’s northern Atlantic coast, is the ultimate quaffer: bone-dry, low in alcohol, and bracingly crisp, its ability to quench one’s thirst or wash down salty sea creatures is unparalleled…
Giulia Negri: The Future of Barolo

It was a swampy summer afternoon in Beaune (yes, it does get hot in Burgundy from time to time) when I first tasted Giulia Negri’s wines. Not the ideal conditions to best appreciate young Barolo, you might think, and you’re entirely right—a kir or an ice-cold pilsner would have been a more refreshing choice that day. But being professionals, my colleagues and I did our due diligence…
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…
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...
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

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.
