2021 Tavel Rosé HALF BOTTLE
Château de Trinquevedel
More than any other rosé (or red) in our book, Trinquevedel’s Tavel is reminiscent of the divine freshness of a wild-harvested summer strawberry. Like the berries you might want to spoon atop a heaping pile of barely sweetened whipped cream, this rosé will be the star of, and finishing touch to, any meal.

France | Southern Rhône
An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.
2023 Vacqueyras Rouge “Doucinello”
France | Southern Rhône
February Club Rouge ~ The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.
2022 Côtes-du-Rhône “La Papesse”
France | Southern Rhône
Elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.
2024 Côtes du Rhône Villages Rouge
France | Southern Rhône
Brambly, rustic, savory, and joyous, this is as perfect a house red from the Rhône as you’ll find.
2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc “La Crau”
France | Southern Rhône
Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.
2022 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “Contre Couleur”
France | Southern Rhône
Deep, dynamic Grenache feels aptly highlighted by bright and fresh Clairette. Soft and rich, yet still defined.
2024 Côtes-du-Rhône “Poignée de Raisins”
France | Southern Rhône
If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.
Clairette de Die “Tradition”
France | Southern Rhône
This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.
NV Clairette de Die Brut
France | Southern Rhône
A dry sparkler made exclusively from Clairette.
2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “La Crau”
France | Southern Rhône

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
