Clairette de Die “Tradition”
Domaine Achard-Vincent
At seven degrees alcohol, the Tradition is made with Muscat and Clairette grapes. It is vinified following the ancient local tradition. It is a festive wine. You coulda watched the Super Bowl with it, some popcorn (tossed with olive oil, salt, and dried thyme), and your pals.

2024 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge “Il Fait Soif”
France | Southern Rhône

2023 Côtes-du-Rhône “L’Emouvante”
France | Southern Rhône
Deep, concentrated, and refreshingly saline, this is like great Cornas with Mediterranean influences.
2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Télégramme”
France | Southern Rhône
If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf, expressing the nobility of carefully farmed Grenache from the Rhône’s finest terroirs.
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.

France | Southern Rhône

2024 Côtes du Rhône Rouge
France | Southern Rhône
Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

France | Southern Rhône
March Club Bianco ~ Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.

France | Southern Rhône
There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

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.
