Producers
La Basia
Italy | Lombardy | Valtènesi DOC
Fresh fruit, a peppery crunch, bright acidity, and light, smooth tannins.
Tenuta La Pergola
Italy | Piedmont | Monferrato Rosso
A quintessential house wine from Piemonte’s less-traveled side.

France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
The 2019 vintage is over half Syrah, giving it lots of smoky dark fruit and a toothsome meatiness.
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 | Côtes du Rhône
A fresh, honest, and pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds
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.
Domaine Dupeuble
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais
Smooth and rounded yet mineral, with a hint of citrus on the finish.
