Now that the holidays are behind us, you might be looking at your wine inventory and noticing a portion of your once curated collection has mysteriously gone missing. Perhaps you reached for a few well-earned, special-occasion bottles during the festivities or, depending on the size of your gatherings and variety of dishes, leaned into the faithful staples that never let you down. Either way, if your wine fridge is looking sad and hollow, here is an opportunity to refuel and replenish on the right foot—meaning a timely discount. We’ve picked some of our most trustworthy selections from Piedmont to the Pays d’Oc, from up north in the Loire to as far south as Sicily and Corsica—to name a few. This sampler features mineral and racy whites, bright peppery reds, and some fuller-bodied and rustic gems to keep even the most curious palates surprised and satiated.

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
