Vignai da Duline Italy | Friuli | Venezia Giulia
Domaine de l’Alliance France | Bordeaux | IGP Atlantique
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Vigneti Vecchio Italy | Sicily | Terre Siciliane Rosso
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace
This Pinot Blanc is weightless, sultry, and lengthy as the day is long.
Domaine le Sang des Cailloux France | Southern Rhône | Vacqueyras
Domaine Rousset-Martin
France | Jura | Côtes du Jura
75% Pinot and 25% Poulsard, juicy and light with a slight perlant texture on the palate, redolent of currants, cherries, and spices.
Ludovic Engelvin
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Gard
Cinsault with a touch of Grenache, blended from various terroirs to create a traditional assemblage Languedocien.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
The combination of tart red fruit, herbaceousness, and graphite earthiness.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir to be enjoyed this winter.
Alex Foillard France | Beaujolais | Côte de Brouilly
Deperu Holler
Italy | Sardinia | Isola dei Nuraghi
A field blend of Vermentino and other native Sardinian grapes, one week maceration; deep, broad, savory, and salty
Vignai da Duline
Italy | Friuli | Venezia Giulia
A deliciously complex white wine that’s a far cry from other Malvasia produced in central Italy.
Alex Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Brouilly
A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.
Domaine Les Pallières France | Southern Rhône | Gigondas
Ludovic Engelvin
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Gard
This wine is full of fresh Grenache fruit, beautifully perfumed, with a refined and elegant finish.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Power, intensity, and complexity combine to bring us a Riesling for the ages.
Domaine de l’Alliance France | Bordeaux
Domaine Rousset-Martin
France | Jura | Côtes du Jura
A Chardonnay made with regular topping-off of the barrels, to avoid any oxidation, this delivers an exotic nose of candied lemon and spices, focused acidity and a sensation of beeswax and nuts on the palate.
François Rousset-Martin
France | Jura
Fresh and silky-fine, wild, and spiced, this stunner demands something equally characterful, like a lamb tagine or perfectly ripe Époisses.
Deperu Holler Italy | Sardinia | Isola dei Nuraghi
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily | IGT Terre Siciliane
Grottafumata means “smoky caves” and that's exactly what I think about when I swish this around. Grown in volcanic soils, it's a perfect balance between smoky tannins and Sicilian grapes.
Tenuta Anfosso
Italy | Liguria
170-year-old own-rooted Rossese Bianco, four days on skins, raised in acacia barrels—a Ligurian heirloom!
Domaine de la Tour du Bon France | Provence | Bandol
Domaine Tempier
France | Provence | Bandol
La Tourtine perhaps best expresses the paradoxical combination of power and elegance that is a trademark of the Domaine's wines.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
The comfort of settling in for the winter—that’s the feeling I get the minute I put my nose in a glass of Baudry’s Chinon Grézeaux. The very name suggests its gravelly terroir and earthy structure: a natural choice for this time of year.
Domaine de la Tour du Bon
France | Provence | Bandol
This Bandol captures the essence of the Mediterranean. It has lush fruit with hints of rosemary, squid ink, and peppery meaty flavors.
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace
Often featuring grand cru fruit, this bottling is arguably the ideal entry point to Boxler’s range of magnificent white wines.
Meyer-Fonné France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace
Here, Chasselas becomes the reincarnation of a bubbling mountain spring, zipping across the palate with a refreshing tingle of spritz.
Domaine Les Pallières
France | Southern Rhône | Gigondas
An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace
This Riesling “Katz,” as we call it, is a beautifully linear and chiseled style of Riesling, fresh and pure.
Domaine Tempier
France | Provence | Bandol
At the domaine's highest-elevation site, Mourvèdre's might is gently enveloped by Grenache and Cinsault to yield a Bandol of great finesse.
Comtesse de Chérisey
France | Burgundy | Meursault-Blagny
De Cherisey produces classic Chardonnay that seems as if from a different time. White Burgundy like this doesn’t come around very often.
François Rousset-Martin France | Jura | Bouzeron
Ferretti Italy | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
This cuvée comes from their highest vineyard, which rests on a plateau of gravel, sand, and limestone, and it is arguably their best entry point into the charm of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, lithe and less dense than the bottlings from their clay-and-limestone terroirs.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace
That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous.
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.
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily
This low-alcohol Etna white shows subtly smoky aroma complemented by notes of yellow fruit, herbs, and wild broom.
La Marca di San Michele
Italy | Le Marche | Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi
This generous, but chiseled Verdicchio will be one of your favorite white-wine discoveries of the year.
Domaine Les Pallières France | Southern Rhône | Gigondas
Giulia Negri
Italy | Piedmont | Langhe
Bright and chiseled, it offers lovely wild berry fruit and the fresh, earthy, signature common to Piemontese reds.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Maxime-François Laurent
France | Southern Rhône | Côtes du Rhône
This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for your favorite summer grillables.
Giovanni Montisci
Italy | Sardinia | Vino da Tavola
Old-vine Moscato from Sardinian mountaintops, 4 days on skins, fermented dry and aged in barrel—heavenly with sea urchin pasta
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Showing off Cabernet in its most delicate, charming form, rife with aromas of roses, damp earth, and little red berries.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape has all the perfume, plush fruit, and ethereal structure to please right away
Domaine Tempier
France | Provence | Bandol
With this chewy, fragrant cuvée, something garlicky cooked over coals will do just fine.
Comtesse de Chérisey
France | Burgundy | Puligny-Montrachet
Power, finesse, succulence, and striking acidity... Pair with delicate crab meat and relish in the experience.
Éric Chevalier France | Loire | Vin de Pays du Val de Loire
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Our best value in Patrimonio offers notes of game and herbs over chewy tannins.
