10/23/26 -  Today's offer centers on two of the great Northern Iberian wine regions: Dão and Bierzo. The two have many grape varieties in common which have often wound up with different names. The most well-known may be what the Spanish call 'Mencía' and the Portuguese call 'Jaen', but there are many more including 'Bastardo' (aka. Trousseau) and 'Merenzao', which I’ve heard used somewhat...

10/19/26 -  I recently had the chance to revisit some bottles from Harmand-Geoffroy and wow were they delicious! A side by side tasting of the Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes from 2021 and 2022 very quickly became the highlight and I am really thrilled to share them with you today. These wines are quintessential Gevrey showing an amazing range of fruit, spice, and floral notes. While...

10/18/26 -  When I took my first trip to Champagne about a year and a half ago, the first appointment I made sure to secure was at Bérêche. Having been a fan of these Champagnes for as long as I can remember drinking wine, it was important for me to see where the magic is made! Getting to spend some time on a late...

10/17/26 -  Our quest for organic and Biodynamic Bordeaux began with Chateau Peybonhomme-les-Tours back in the 90s and has happily expanded to include some of the great estates of the Médoc and the right bank, led by the domains of Clair and Gonzague Lurton, Pontet-Canet and many others. The "satellite" regions of Bordeaux such as Blaye‑Côtes de Bordeaux and Castillon‑Côtes de Bordeaux are home...

10/16/26 - Weiser-Künstler, Unterlind, Clemens Busch, Stefan Müller and Haart A quick glance at the shelf recently made me realize it was about time for a solid restock of Mosel Rieslings. Luckily for me this coincided with the arrival of an excellent lineup of 2025s from Weiser-Künstler, along with back vintage Unterlind, plus some tasty Clemens Busch, Stefan Muller, and Julian Haart. I've included...

10/15/26 -  Antica Torre del Roccolo Something magical and hidden is happening in Breganze, a small wine region northeast of Amarone. When native grapes like Vespaiolo and Garganega are taken under gentle care by passionate growers, beautiful under-the radar wines are produced. This is where Chiara Bassi and Raimondo Zolin enter the story. They are the proprietors of Antica Torre del Roccolo, an estate...

Louis grew up in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune near Meursault and is the fifth generation in his family to make wine. However Louis left home in order to hone his skills before starting his eponymous Domaine. He spent...

10/11/26 -  The nuns of the Cistercian order are quietly and patiently making gorgeous wines in Vitorchiano, 60 miles North of Rome in Lazio on volcanic soils. Their official name is ‘Monastero Suore Cistercensi’ but the wines are affectionately known in the US as ‘Nun Wine’. In addition to grape vines, the eighty women of the order farm olive trees and various fruit trees....

10/9/26 -  It is quite challenging to describe the magical feeling of descending into Vincent Laval's cellar. Vincent himself is larger than life, jovial, passionate, and incredibly thoughtful in everything he does. Before my most recent trip to Champagne I had only ever met him in passing at tastings and other events in New York, but meeting up with him in Cumieres, he instantly...

10/8/26 -  With so much excellent wine coming from Mount Etna, its easy to forget about the Western end of the island. The West houses some of our favorite artisanal growers making oxidative wines, and more recently electric dry wines, from native grapes like Grillo, Catarratto, and Zibibbo.'Pre-British style' refers to the ancient tradition of oxidizing and aging in a perpetual barrel system and...
