Producers
Domaine Dupeuble
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais
This Beaujolais offers the charm and drinkability of the most effusive Morgons with the class and frankness of a chiseled Moulin-à-Vent.
Cantine Valpane
Italy | Piedmont | Barbera del Monferrato
Luscious, mouth-filling cherry fruit, a strong soil signature, and smooth tannins make this the perfect Barbera to cure your weeknight Italian craving.
La Basia
Italy | Lombardy | Valtènesi DOC
Fresh fruit, a peppery crunch, bright acidity, and light, smooth tannins.
Cantine Elvio Tintero
Italy | Piedmont | Langhe
There’s no mistaking this scrumptious red for anything other than Nebbiolo—perfectly ripe, dusty red fruit, gentle tannins, and the telltale scents of tar and roses.
Selected by Kermit Lynch
France | Southern Rhône | Côtes du Rhône
A fresh, honest, and pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds
Quentin Harel
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais
Floral and irresistibly juicy, with notes of cherries, rhubarb, and pomegranate.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie
France | Loire | Bourgueil
Juicy fruit and gentle tannin make for an epicurean lunchtime wine that’s ideal for generous gulping.
Selected By Kermit Lynch
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
The 2019 vintage is over half Syrah, giving it lots of smoky dark fruit and a toothsome meatiness.
Domaine Maestracci
France | Corsica | Calvi
This bottle is benchmark Corsica at a weeknight price.
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.
Château La Grave
France | Southwest | Cahors
La Grave is one of the rare Cahors to consist exclusively of the native Malbec. Without any Merlot to soften it, this Cahors is decidedly old-fashioned.
Tenuta La Pergola
Italy | Piedmont | Monferrato Rosso
A quintessential house wine from Piemonte’s less-traveled side.
Cantine Elvio Tintero
Italy | Piedmont
Finding a wine as tasty and versatile at this price is not an easy task.
Piero Benevelli
Italy | Piedmont | Dolcetto d’Alba
Loaded with aromas of violets and ripe berries, it is full-bodied yet soft and effortlessly downable
Il Palazzotto
Italy | Piedmont | Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba
Supple, pretty notes of freshly crushed blackberries and raspberries—it will pair well with pretty much anything.
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.
Clos La Coutale
France | Southwest | Cahors
Young, it is juicy, smooth, and fresh. As it ages, keep an eye out for hints of some of the region’s more famous goods.
