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.
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 Robert-Denogent France | Burgundy
Bursting with energy and joy, this wine is bound to bring out the best of your inner bon vivant.
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.
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.
Kante Italy | Friuli
Aged eight years before release, the wine is textured, vibrant, and delightfully decadent.
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.
Sesti Italy | Tuscany
This enthralling Brunello is already approachable, but will reward you if you set aside a few bottles to open over the next ten years.
Domaine Gallety France | Northern Rhône
Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.
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 d’Aupilhac France | Languedoc-Roussillon
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.
Cuna Italy | Tuscany
With an unmistakably Italian nose, it recalls the grippy tannins of a bright Chianti and the stateliness of an aged Bordeaux.
Antoine-Marie Arena France | Corsica
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.
Henri Perrusset France | Burgundy
A longtime personal favorite for the weeknight go-to blanc, citrusy fresh with just the right hint of salted butter to round it out.
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.
Italy | Sicily
This low-alcohol Etna white shows subtly smoky aroma complemented by notes of yellow fruit, herbs, and wild broom.

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.
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.
France | Northern Rhône
Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.

Wine for a Warm Summer Night in Bologna (or Berkeley)
-image_set_1_img_1-28467-large.webp)
As a college student, I once spent a warm evening sitting on the cobblestones of Bologna’s Piazza Verdi, in a circle of friends, surrounded by clusters of the city’s electric youth. Most were lost in animated, intense, and jovial conversations. Some had stood up and started to dance to a spontaneous, unpolished brass-and-percussion ensemble. My friends and I talked and observed, nursing our Negronis from the nearby bar. I didn’t know about Lambrusco back then…
