Spring Sale!
“Looking at the pale, bright color, my thoughts turn to our next season, spring, which is not far away. Rosé will be appropriate. Spirits will rise. Flowers will blossom. Sleeves will shorten. If you are seasonally sensitive, the change of seasons plays a role in your wine selections. Lightness and freshness matter more. So I am willing spring into being.”
—Kermit Lynch, April 1995

Wines In The Collection
Steiger-Kalena Italy | Molise
Offers an absolutely electric perfume loaded with bright notes of pomegranate, sour cherry, and fresh strawberry, while the palate delivers bracing acidity and a chiseled, chalky finish.
Grottafumata Italy | Sicily
This low-alcohol Etna white shows subtly smoky aroma complemented by notes of yellow fruit, herbs, and wild broom.
Maxime Magnon France | Languedoc-Roussillon
The Rozeta features the exuberant, inviting perfume and velvety wild fruit we expect from a wine that underwent 100% whole-cluster fermentation.
Domaine Robert-Denogent France | Burgundy
Bursting with energy and joy, this wine is bound to bring out the best of your inner bon vivant.
Lionel Faury France | Northern Rhône
The roots of these vines run deep, and deep is what you get in the glass, too—a rich mix of black olive, fennel, and raspberry.
Punta Crena Italy | Liguria
Lean, bracing, and tangy—just what you want when digging into a plate of fried calamari.
Roland Lavantureux France | Burgundy
A wine of striking finesse that shows off the crunchy red fruit, floral notes, and peppery spice typical of Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s far north.
Domaine Leon Barral France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Searching for something a bit funky to enliven your jaded palate? Look no further and prepare for an experience like none other.
Sesti Italy | Tuscany
With a regal perfume that is both sweet and savory, a ripe berry fruit accented by balmy herbs and earthy wafts of incense, this enthralling Brunello is already approachable, but will reward you if you set aside a few bottles to open over the next ten years.
Grange Saint Sauveur France | Loire
The new vintage shows great freshness and brightness, making me think of tart berries picked in the forest just a touch below full ripeness.
Masseria del Pino Italy | Sicily
A rosé made via ancient methods from ashy soils high on Mount Etna.
Kuentz-Bas France | Alsace
Dry, with tart green apple, pear, and a classic hint of petrol on the nose. The firm, zesty palate has enough substance for endless delicious pairings.
Kante Italy | Friuli
Aged eight years before release, the wine is textured, vibrant, and delightfully decadent.
Domaine Robert-Denogent France | Burgundy
Limited to vintages where poor weather prevents individual bottlings, Climat renders all the top qualities of the Robert family’s holdings.
Domaine Michel Brégeon France | Loire
This lithe and expressive “orange” wine is an ideal palate-opener with a dry, cleansing finish and a fresh, cooling effect like coastal sage and seaspray.
Domaine d’Aupilhac France | Languedoc-Roussillon
March Club Chevalier ~ Fadat’s bottlings from this terroir have proven to be among the most complex and elegant wines of southern France.
Masseria del Pino Italy | Sicily
A profound red wine full of depth, liveliness, and old-school, rustic character.
Domaine Les Hauts Lieux France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
While it has a crystalline edge, there is a surprising dollop of sun, heft, and deep, creamy notes of white flowers and citrus fruit.
Clos Saint-Joseph France | Provence
This gorgeous blend of Vermentino, Ugni Blanc, Sémillon, and Clairette is both fleshy and mineral-driven.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.
Guy Breton France | Beaujolais
A relatively new addition to Guy Breton’s Beaujolais lineup, this exuberant Côte de Brouilly is flat-out delicious.
Cuna Italy | Tuscany
With an unmistakably Italian nose, it recalls the grippy tannins of a bright Chianti and the stateliness of an aged Bordeaux.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais
In classic Thévenet fashion, the wine is bright and energetic—a snappy Chardonnay that tastes like fresh green apple skin with a whisper of gentian.
Italy | Molise
Offers an absolutely electric perfume loaded with bright notes of pomegranate, sour cherry, and fresh strawberry, while the palate delivers bracing acidity and a chiseled, chalky finish.

Celebrating Sauvignon Blanc
There is perhaps no wine more in tune with springtime than Sauvignon Blanc. With aromas of zesty lime, bright blossoms, and fresh-cut grass, this noble grape variety matches the season’s luminous, cheery mood, and perfectly accompanies the arrival of tender greens, fragrant herbs, asparagus, artichokes, favas, and other flavors of the season that can be a challenge to pair with wine…
The Light-Hearted Cousins of Burgundian Pinot Noir
To the south and east of Orléans, in the eastern reaches of the Loire Valley, you begin to feel the region’s proximity to Burgundy. Rather than Touraine’s chalky tuffeau limestone, for instance, villages like Sancerre and Reuilly sit atop the same special Kimmeridgian soils that form the foundation of Chablis. And you find more and more Pinot Noir…
The Many Faces of Cabernet Franc
The Loire Valley’s Touraine region may be home to some of France’s grandest châteaux, but when it comes to its wines, the region remains thoroughly paysan and free of pomp and ceremony. Wine and food are paramount to the spirit and culture here, and made for the weeknight table, an impromptu picnic, or barbecue. Cabernet Franc is the star red grape in this rural, central stretch of the Valley…
Pairing Pinots in Spring
Coming upon Chris Lee’s Wild Salmon Baked in Fig Leaves with Rosé Butter, I thought, what could be more appropriate right now? The recipe appears a few times across our sixteen-year archive, and the suggested pairings change every time, ranging from lush whites to juicy, light reds, and crisp, mineral rosés in between. For such a simple dish, the possibilities seemed endless. In revisiting, I wanted that same versatility in the glass, and only one word came to mind: Pinot…
Garden of Variety
As the Loire River winds through the region known as le jardin de la France, it creates a myriad of microclimates and a rich variety of soils, yielding impressive diversity even among the same grapes...
Arthur Ostertag
Arthur’s wines were the revelation of the trip. For months after, in the group chat with everyone on the tour, my screen would light up with shots of his wines—those incomparably elegant bottles with the stunning labels—standing tall atop the tables of every restaurant the other growers were dining in, in their hometowns or around the world. Arthur was officially the breakout star of the trip...
Unheated Rivalry
It’s a bit funny to write about two equally fantastic Bandols made by men with quite opposite personalities. I don’t imagine their interpretation of the métier is that different—make wines that express their terroir—but a vigneron always leaves their mark, and that fascinates me…

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!
