Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro Rosso 2013
$25.00Add to cartThis wine is an easy recommendation and hopped right out the gates as a staff favorite (especially for Will) showing that no matter the price point you can find wines with depth and soul.
Hailing from Lecce in Puglia (the heel of the Italian boot) where most wine is made in bulk to be drunk out of a jug comes a wine that’s rustic and earthy while still being classic and elegant. This is Grand Cru Puglia, a diamond in the rough?
Cosimo Taurino takes his wines seriously, holding them back for years to tame the tannins and allow them to harmonize in the bottle. This current release is a 2012!

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.

Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vielles Vignes 2021
$51.00Add to cartThis Chablis is a delight to drink. It’s everything we like in a young Chablis: crisp, elegant, textured, and possessing a hidden, stony depth that teases itself out across your palate. These wines can age if you have the patience and fortitude to not drink them.

De Bartoli Zibibbo IGT Terre Siciliane Integer 2022
$58.00Add to cartWe are “wholly” impressed with Interger. This eclectic wine, made from 100% Zibbibo, is the epitome of minimal intervention & one of the nerdiest bottlings out there. Ripe white fruit, lardon, caramelized pear, baking spice & candied grapefruit culminate in an ethereal finish. A no-brainer with cacio e pepe, pasta carbonara or tonkotsu ramen

Dolores Cabrera Fernández, Valle de la Orotava La Araucaria Rosado 2023
$29.00Add to cartWe love the wines of Dolores Cabrera who focuses on Listán (Blanco and Negro) across Tenerife. She loves 100+ year old vines, and while her husband Pedro helps in the cellar she employs a team of women to pick because she believes they are more deft at picking grapes during harvest. The soils in the la Orotava are a mix of volcanic and clay. There’s a distinct earthiness and crunch texture to the wines. The Listan Negro Rosado (rosé) is absolutely vibrant and our favorite of her wines. It’s got rich red berry fruit but also a deep spiced cherry core that’s helped along by salinity, smoke, and earthiness.

Domaine Alain Voge Saint-Joseph Les Cotes 2021
$65.00Add to cartAlain is a legend in the Rhône. He rewrote the rule book on what great wines from southern France could be. Today led Alberic Mazoyer (who worked for Chapoutier) who still makes incredibly dense and layered wines using organic and biodynamic viticulture. This wine comes from a steep parcel of land in Mauves that has produced a delicious Syrah that has all the layers of fruit, spice, and flowers you could want.

Domaine Alary L’Estevenas Cairanne Blanc 2023
$23.00Add to cartA very cool family run domaine with centuries of history. The Alary’s have actually been in the shop to pour, and we loved getting to meet them. Their organically made wines are delicious and really out drink their price point. This blend of Clairette and Roussanne is very expressive with a beautiful complexity, ripe white fruit such as (peaches, mirabelle plums) and delicate fragrance of white flowers such as acacia and lime appear as well as minerality.

Domaine Boris Champy Hautes Cotes du Beaune Montagne 382 2021
$79.00Add to cartThe site for Boris Champy was developed by Didier Montchovet, an early adopters of biodynamics in Burgundy. Today the estate wines are all labeled under Boris Champy and are fully certified.
This wine comes from their Montagne de Cras plot in Nantoux which is at 382 metres altitude and the name of the Montagne de Cras lieu-dit on the label. The pebbly slope has all kinds of life and even a few rare corm trees. The wine itself is aged on the lees in barrique for a year with 25% new oak before resting in stainless. The resulting wine is clean, smooth and full of citrus and honeysuckle with a well-integrated, judicious note of oak. -

Domaine de la Chapelle Des Bois Fleurie Vielle Vignes de la Cadole 2021
$25.00Add to cartFrom the heart of Beaujolais comes a delightful gamay. In the vineyards they the principles of lutte raisonnée and minimal intervention in the cellar—spontaneous fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration in cement vats, and aging in 50-year-old wooden casks—produced Beaujolais of vivid fruit, terrific freshness, and structure enough to develop well in bottle. The resulting wine has a vibrant expression of fresh red fruits, delicate tannins, and is very welcoming.

Domaine de la Tourmaline Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 2023
$18.00Add to cartWhile it’s hard to verify, there’s legend that this vineyard in Navineaux is the first place that Melon de Bourgogne (the grape used to make Muscadet) was found. Regardless, this is a delicious example that’s zesty while still maintaining a core of citrus. The sea salt salinity and deep minerality from the Navineaux soils hold this zippy white together.

Domaine des Roches Neuves :’Echelier Thiery Germain Saumur 2021
$98.00Add to cartFrom Thierry Germain, a stellar winemaker who takes his viticultural influence from his mentor Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard, comes this terroir focused Chenin that is razor-sharp and ready for drinking now but could just as easily age for a long time.

Domaine Doudet Pernand Vergelesses Les Pins Blanc 2020

Domaine du Bagnol Cassis Rose 2023
$34.00Add to cart“This is a medium-bodied Provençal rose from the coastal village of Cassis. It offers notes of melon and red berries balanced by a nice salinity. I love it on its own or paired with grilled seafood or raw shellfish. I like how it doesn’t taste like all of the generic Provence rosé out there. It is layered enough to impress a group of wine lovers but quaffable enough for a warm-weather picnic.”

Domaine Guiberteau 2020 Saumur Blanc Breze
$145.00Add to cartOne of the most sought after producers in the Loire. The wines of Domaine Guiberteau are for those really in the know. The legendary Becky Wasserman has this to say about Guiberteau: Romain Guiberteau owns some of the best land in Brézé, and makes dry chenins of punk rock violence, yet of Bach-like logic and profoundness.
This wine from Brézé is one of the peaks of Chenin Blanc. It’s incredibly dry with ripping texture and acid. It’s like watching a linebacker dance ballet.

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Chambolle 1er Cru La Combe d’Orveau 2021
$310.00Add to cartWith land in both the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune, Romain Taupenot and his sister Virginie produce nineteen wines across seventeen appellations. Most of their holdings are premier or grand cru, all enviably placed with old vines. In winemaking they follow in the footsteps of Henri Jayer and focus first on their vineyards and hand harvest, de-stem, and cold soak before a natural fermentation with wild yeasts. The wines are excellent, complex, and terroir-driven.

Domaine Vigneau-Chevreau Vouvray Brut NV
$24.00Add to cartThe Vigneau family has been working vines across Vouvray for five generations, but under the ministrations of the youngest (and current leaders of the family winery Stephane and Christophe Vigneau-Chevreau converted the vineyards to biodynamic in 1995 and were certified organic in 1999. This dry sparkling Chenin is made using the traditional method and is the perfect introduction to what they do.
