Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rose 2024
$35.00Add to cartA Provençal estate that has been in the hands of the Portalis family since before the French Revolution. Today the estate is worked organically, and sheep graze between the vines for a large part of the year. Their reds are brooding Mourvedres but the rosé is a more balanced blend of Mourvedre and Cinsault. Fermented in concrete, the resulting wine is one of the richest rosés around that is dry with a full body and a rich floral nose.

Chateau Talbot Caillou Bordeaux Blanc 2019
$60.00Add to cartAn excellent white Bordeaux from the historic Château Talbot. The 2019 is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that has lively lemon, verbena, thyme, and white peach. It’s waxy and a little gingery. Wonderful stuff.

Chateau Talbot Saint Julien 2020
$99.00Add to cartChateau Talbot is a 4th Cru Classé in Saint-Julien and is one of the Médoc’s most emblematic names. It’s one of the Medoc’s oldest estates, and through the years has been fortunate enough to remain in good hands. The current owners are the fourth generation of the same family managing Talbot.
The soils are well raised and gravelly producing classic Bordeaux aromas all in a balanced package. It’s lively and framed by a sensational texture and a lingering finish. Aromas of plum confit, crème de cassis, tobacco, licorice, and roasted herbs mingle with a woody, charcuterie-like savory note that will only deepen with age.

Clement et Florian Berthier Coteaux du Giennois Rouge 2022
$28.00Add to cartFirst and foremost the fifth-generation Loire winemakers Clement and Florian Berthier are terroir-driven preducers. While they make plenty of Sauvignon Blanc, their focus is not on producing easy SB, but on producing wines that transparently show where they are from. While 80% of their production is white wine the do produce this beautiful blend of Pinot and Gamay that is juicy and fresh. It has rich that are complemented by floral and earthy undertones. There’s a bit of spice inflection from the terroir that sits on a well of deep minerality.

Common Weath Crush Co. Libertango 2023
$35.00Add to cartAn incredibly fun wine from one of the coolest collectives in the country: Virginia’s Common Wealth Crush. From former NYC somm Lee Campbell and partner Lee Jordan comes a beautifully bubbly red perfect for crushing with food. Like Lambrusco it’s incredibly food friendly, but unlike Lambrusco it’s made with the Virginia grape Tannat. It’s muscular but still bouncy and lightened with 12% Albariño and 9% Petit Manseng. What a fun thing to explore.

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!

Coutale Clos La Cahors 2022
$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.

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 2022
$52.00Add 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 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.
