2/20/26 -  Today we are especially excited to welcome to our shelves for the first time in New York a producer who, while young, is already starting to make waves in France across the Loire Valley and beyond. Robin Carette farms 5 hectares of certified organic vines in Bonnezeaux, having taken over some parcels of old vines formerly owned by Château de Fesles and...

2/19/26 -  I went to dinner with a friend a few months back and as two wine professionals we asked the sommelier if there were any Champagnes he was excited about, he immedately made us at ease that he was about to guide us well. He very excitedly pointed our attention to a bottle from Thibaut Tassin, and proclaimed that we had to try...

2/17/26 -  Lately, I have been tasting some excellent Sicilian wines that I am excited to bring to the selection here at Chambers Street. Ciro Biondi (above on right) and Arianna Occhipinti are old friends of the shop, while Pianogrillo and SRC are newer to the shelves.  Ciro BiondiCiro is an old friend of the shop, a charming and stoic winemaker. With a long...

2/16/26 -  It is somewhat uncommon to come across an estate in Burgundy with a long history that has also historically taken the path less traveled. Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils happens to be just that.  Jean-Louis Trapet has been at the helm of Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils since 1993 when the Louis Trapet estate split into two (Domaine Rossignol-Trapet being the other half)....

2/14/26 -  Clockwise from top left: Thierry Puzelat and David Lillie, Thierry Navarre with DL, Nico Carmarans and Eben Lillie A report from the annual wine fair season. Once a year, in the end of January and into early February, winemakers from all over Europe (and beyond) attend a series of trade shows, locally referred to as "Salons" or "Salons des Vins." The timing...

2/13/26 -  I am very lucky to live in a wine world full of Pinot Noir. As time goes on and I continue to try more and more Spätburgunder from Germany, I continue to get excited over the fantastic representations. This week I tasted through the newly released wines from Weingut Rudolf Fürst and was so impressed by the elegance, finese and clarity of...

2/12/26 -  Gian Battista, Alessandro, and Vittore in the vines  I had the pleasure of having dinner recently with Vittore and Katia of Fratelli Alessandria. Il Buco Alimentari hosted the evening featuring a six course tasting menu paired with eight of their wines, giving me the chance to taste their 2021 Barolo releases, as well as my favorite wine from the evening, 2020 Monvigliero....

2/11/26 -  Once again, we are delighted to have a new shipment of decades aged and perfectly stored wines from Italy. The wines (after a shipping delay believe it or not) will finally reach our warehouse next week.  One of our favorite offers over the years has been the wines from the Alto Piemonte, highlighted by our own Marisa here last week (Click here...

2/9/26 -  The vines of Phillipe Jouan are old! From his 50-year old vines in his 'entry level' plot of Coteaux Bourguignons, to 70-80+ years for village and 100+ in his Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru, there are few other producers that come to mind when it comes to this level of vine age across all their cuvees. Phillipe's grandfather planted most of the...

2/7/26 -  Last week in Angers we tasted with all five of these outstanding estates and were inspired to offer nineteen (!) Cabernet Francs from Chinon and Bourgueil, both for current enjoyment and for mid to long-term cellaring. Leading off with New Arrivals from Domaine Bernard Baudry and Domaine de la Chevalerie... Domaine Bernard Baudry, Chinon 2023 Chinon Cuvée Domaine - The Domaine cuvée has...

2/6/26 -  For many, the wines of Lisbon conjure something breezy and coastal: light, salty whites, easy reds, a sense of Atlantic refreshment. But just west of the city, tucked into a landscape shaped as much by resistance as by proximity to the ocean, is Colares: one of Portugal’s most idiosyncratic and increasingly fragile wine regions. Colares has never made things easy for winemakers. Sandy...

2/5/26 -  We love Alto Piemonte here at Chambers Street because of its really interesting geology, history, and wine production. It’s heyday stretched from the 17th century until the early 20th century, ceasing after two world wars, phylloxera, and industrialization around the Sesia River. There are about 700 hectares under vine, down from 40,000 in the region’s prime- all the more reason to continue...

2/3/26 -  In honor of Valentines day quickly approaching, I thought it would be a great time to highlight some incredible Blanc de Blancs Champagnes, because nothing says "I love you" like sharing a bottle of bubbles. I know it is a special date for going out, but I think there's incredible value in skipping the reservation and crowds, cooking at home (or getting...
