2018 Ventoux Rouge “Mégaphone”

Frédéric & Daniel Brunier
Discount Eligible $27.00
SOLD OUT

Ever been skiing in Provence? It’s a bit of a secret among locals, but you can, in fact, on top of snowcapped Mont Ventoux for a month or so in winter—one chairlift and four small trails with real snow. Down the hill a bit lie the Ventoux vineyards. In the glass, fresh mountain air and exuberant Provençal olive and plum fruit make an unexpected, delicious encounter.

Chris Santini

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
