2021 Valle d’Aosta Traminer Aromatico
Château Feuillet
When driving through Italy’s Valle d’Aosta, watch for lofty vineyards and complicated, multilingual exit signs. Both are influenced by their French neighbors in the north but have a decidedly regional character—much like this Traminer Aromatico. It pays lovely homage to its French cousin, Alsatian Gewurztraminer, but with a Valdostano interpretation: the nose is floral, but these are surely mountain wildflowers, and the palate is perfectly crisp and quenching.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Cornalin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
This rare red variety has a straightforward freshness and light herbal spiciness.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Rosso Torrette Supérieur
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
The grapes are dried for several days after harvest, then pressed and aged in barrel to give an equally lively red with a bit more guts and bass notes.

2023 Valle d’Aosta Torrette
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
True to the region, it has exuberant, piquant fruit, both peppery and floral throughout.

2019 Valle d’Aosta Moscato Bianco
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
A one-of-a-kind, high-altitude, fully dry Moscato. Bright fruit and granitic minerality in an utterly thirst-quenching package.

2022 Valle d’Aosta Fumin
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

Where the newsletter started

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
