Boasso Barolo Gabutti 2018
$55.00Add to cartA rich Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most delicious crus where the fruit is picked, pressed and fermented before aging in new oak for three years.

Chateau de Chaintres Saumur Champigny Vieilles Vignes 2020
$31.00Add to cartWe love the Loire, it’s the garden of France, and the wines almost across the board retain a beautiful earthiness. While the Tigny family has owned this 17th century chateau since the 1930s it was the addition of cellar master Jean-Philippe Louis that they really stepped up their game, converting the estate to biodynamics, hand picking, and allowing for spontaneous fermentation.
The vines that plunge the deepest into the tuffeau soils of the vineyards range from 50 to 80 years of age. Despite the concentration and structure a sense of freshness permeates this wine—making it “très digeste”. Graceful tannins and an assertive underlying minerality contribute a salty-savory edge to the fruit.

Coutale Clos La Cahors 2020
$23.00Add to cartThis is not the Malbec you probably know. You may not know that until it was popularized by the Argentinians, no one really knew the grape, and in fact most of the vines in Cahors, France were being ripped out. But as its international fame grew a few producers took a look at what they had and decided they could sell make wine with these grapes. We are thankful because this is a delicious, earthier expression that we really enjoy.

Dorli Muhr Carnuntum 2020
$29.00Add to cartDorli Muhr (along with Dirk van der Niepoort – one of Portugal’s finest winemakers) are two of the larger names responsible for the popularity of Carnuntum Blaufrankish, which comes from a mere 9 miles from the Slovakian capital Bratislava and the southern reaches of Niederösterreich.
Low yields from organic vines make the resulting Dorli Muhr wines something special to behold. Concentration with a light body is the balance that they seek, and it is made easier with the limestone soil beds.
This wine is silky but still powerful. The color shines and echoes the ripe cherry and wild berry flavors, but the fresh bouquet of herbs and flowers dances off the mineral core and keeps us coming back for another sip. This is a wine that is light enough on its feet to be delicious today but can definitely stand some aging.
Pair it with wild game, charcuterie, or sausages.
