Dear Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant,

Help! I’m all out of wine and desire a hearty daily drinker! I love the brambly, peppery Grenache-based wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, but need something a bit less expensive that I can stock up on for weeknight imbibing. I’ve looked high and low, but just can’t seem to find a red with the right combination of quality and price.

Sincerely,

Searching for Tipple

Dear Searching,

Look no further than Beaumes-de-Venise, a small village southeast of Gigondas. Here, on the site of ancient Roman baths, the Leydier family makes a full-bodied red with its own restorative powers. Spicy red berry fruit, some earthy garrigue notes, and a chewy finish for about half the price of a good Gigondas. My advice? Buy six bottles to cover the shipping, round out the case with six more wines to qualify for the case discount, and put your feet up. Your search is over.

Sincerely,

Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
