Producers
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire
This racy wine is a perfect match for all types of crustaceans as well all by itself on a sunny afternoon.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace
Light, citrusy, aromatic, and zippy on the palate. This crowd-pleaser can dance a jig on its own, but for the holidays, it pairs especially well with my family’s lineup of potluck-style appetizers: dad’s barbecued oysters, mom’s homemade dips, Aunt Terri’s broccoli salad, Grammie’s signature spicy Chex mix... Stock up, these bottles tend to disappear quickly.
Selected by Kermit Lynch
France | Southern Rhône
This refreshing blend of Chardonnay and Viognier brings aromas of fresh sun-kissed peaches and cleansing rainwater.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie
France | Loire | Bourgueil
Juicy fruit and gentle tannin make for an epicurean lunchtime wine that’s ideal for generous gulping.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
One whiff of this Corbières takes you to a spice cabinet or a Mediterranean field full of aromatic herbs.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace
This “noble blend” combines the region’s principal grape varieties in one lip-smacking, liter-sized bottle of fun, perfectly capturing the magic of Alsace at bargain cost.
Clos La Coutale
France | Southwest | Cahors
A red perennially punches way above its weight, both in the immediate pleasure it delivers and the way it evolves in the bottle over time.
Selected by Kermit Lynch
France | Southern Rhône | Côtes du Rhône
A fresh, honest, and pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds
Domaine du Salvard
France | Loire | Vin de Pays du Val de Loire
Lime blossoms delivered via a lightning bolt of minerally refreshment.
Château Ducasse
France | Bordeaux | Bordeaux
Luscious and mouth-coating with generous passion fruit and lychee, yet racy at the same time.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Its peachy-pink hue hints at what’s to come: orchard fruits and brambly wild berries, grapefruit and wet slate after a summer rain! Perfect with chips and a sandwich on-the-go, or an elaborate al fresco meal. A staple wine I can’t live without.
A. & M. Quenard
France | Savoie and Bugey | Savoie
You’ve just found a new everyday white—at only 11% alcohol—well within your budget.

Domaine Dupeuble

This Beaujolais offers the charm and drinkability of the most effusive Morgons with the class and frankness of a chiseled Moulin-à-Vent.

The 2019 vintage is over half Syrah, giving it lots of smoky dark fruit and a toothsome meatiness.

The soft, juicy fruit and bright acidity lead to a long, dry finish with very supple tannin.

Genuinely reflecting the down-home, country soulfulness we love about the Languedoc.
