Cantina Sociale di Gattinara Gattinara 2017
$72.00Add to cartEstablished in 1908, Cantina Sociale di Gattinara is a local cooperative of growers, embodying a rich tradition in Piedmont that supports family farms in their growth, stability, and stewardship. In the Land of Nebbiolo, Gattinara often takes a back seat to the region’s giants, but do not overlook this elegant red. Bright red fruit command the palate with floral, acacia, and cedar notes; the tannins are chewy yet refined, and the finish is contemplative.

Chateau de la Bonneliere Chinon Rive Gauche Rouge 2023
$23.00Add to cartFor two generations the Plouzeaus have been working to restore the Château de la Bonneliére and its vines to their original glory. The son, Marc, converted the vineyards to fully organic.

Clos Rougeard Saumur Champigny 2018
$270.00Add to cartThis is one of the most highly sought after bottles from France, but it’s not from the places you’d expect. Forget Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne and head straight to the Loire for this epic (and ageworthy) expression of Cabernet Franc.

D Ventura Vina Do Burato Ribeira Sacra Mencia 2023
$28.00Add to cartFrom a producer who practices organic farming and preaches simplicity, this predominantly Mencia blend is just gorgeous. Earthy, chalky red fruits work harmoniously with schisty, stoney tones redolent of petrichor. Tremendously complex and undeniably delicious, we love this with Iberico ham, a sharp Manchego, or even beer-battered cod.

Domaine Bitouzet Prieur Volnay 2021
$80.00Add to cartBen and I were fortunate enough to garner an invitation to taste with Mr. Bitouzet on his first trip to the United States despite having made fantastic (and popular) wines for decades. It was incredible to be able to taste the line-up with the producer and hear Neal Rosenthal tell stories about their relationship and the wines. What struck us, though, during the tasting was how much soul the wines have. There are other producers who make similar wines from similar parcels of land but these wines have a marked depth and are all absolutely worth tastings.

$45.00Add to cartPhilippe Collotte is a tall but unassuming man who has quietly made stunning wines for the last two decades in Marsannay that are a steal at this price point.

Domaine de La Tour Penet, Macon Peronne Rouge 2023
$22.00Add to cartAn incredibly balanced Gamay from Burgund that still presents great value in a category where there isn’t often value. Coming from the higher slopes of the Mâconnais it’s juicy with great fruit while still retaining acidity.

Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Vielles Vignes 2022
$62.00Add to cartAn old vine Pinot from one of Burgundy’s most reliable producers. Faiveley is one of the largest producers in Burgundy, but don’t let that make you think their wines are sub-par. They take their experience and apply it to make terroir driven expressions of all their various holdings. Mercurey is on village on the Cote Chalonnaise which takes its name from the god Mercury (God of trade). The wine is concentrated and structured, aromatic, and full of deep red berries and a bit of vanilla.

Murgo Etna Rosso Tenuta San Michele 2022
$33.00Add to cartSicily is home to some of the best value wines in Italy. The region’s scorching sun, volcanic soils, and rich history of winemaking contribute to the distinct character of Etna Rosso wines. Nerello Mascalese is the workhorse here, think rustic Burgundy. Tenuta San Michele is a sustainably produced single-vineyard bottling made only in favorable years. A tremendous expression of Sicilian winemaking.

Produttori del Barbaresco , Barbaresco 1970
$235.00Add to cartThis is a wine at the peak of its development. With fruit coming from the Muncagota vineyard (the same site that current vintages use with a historic name), it’s the perfect window into the excellent flavors, not to mention value, of vintage Italian wines. Flavors like leather, tea, charcuterie, balsamic glazed strawberries, deep forest berries, and smoke all mingle over a backbone of rich acidity and melting tannins. A gorgeous and complex vintage wine that is absolutely worth exploring.
