by Tom Wolf
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 primarily in the image of the weeknight table, impromptu picnic, or barbecue. Cabernet Franc is the star red grape in this rural, central stretch of the Valley...

2020 Eloro Nero d’Avola “Spaccaforno”
Italy | Sicily
April Club Rouge ~ The Padova family’s Spaccaforno is generous but not heavy, with suggestions of blackberry, licorice, and spice leading to a lively, chalky finish.

2022 Beaumes-de-Venise Rouge

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!
