1/5/26 -  I was very excited to taste through the newest arrivals from Domaine de Chassorney, which was established in 1996 by Frédéric Cossard with a mix of leased and owned holdings near Saint-Romain. As he began to approach retirement, Fred formed a close relationship with local winemaker and friend Aurélien Verdet, with the idea that they would work side by side for a...

12/30/25 - Giovanna Rizzolio of Cascine delle Rose is a benchmark producer for the tiny crus of Rio Sordo and Tre Stelle in Neive, Barbaresco. In the 80's and 90's when women did not often farm (especially organically), she developed a name for her family and their land and even started Barbaresco's first licensed agrotourismo. Originally, Cascina delle Rose only farmed in Rio Sordo,...

12/29/25 - We've been enjoying the wines of the Lafouge family in Auxey-Duresses for 30 years. It’s a pleasure to have worked with three different generations at the same estate – or does that just mean that I’m ancient? At any rate, we’re very happy to offer the wonderful 2023s – a vintage that offers beautiful ripeness and density and excellent brightness and acidity...

12/26/25 -  As we wiggle our toes in new socks, and quietly ponder New Years resolutions, a delightful gift of Riesling appears! From Hofgut Falkenstein, one of Germany's great maverick estates, we present wines from the limited and lively 2024 vintage.  Erich Weber and his son Johannes (pictured above, left and middle respectively) craft wines that are unlike any others, not just in Germany, but...

12/23/25 -  I apologize for the brevity of today's email, but it turns out that entertaining grand-kids and getting work done are mutually exclusive!At any rate, today's Rhône new arrivals offer contains some truly great wines!! And with  a 15% discount today only, hoping to get your attention in the pre-holiday rush. We lead off with the superb Crozes-Hermitages from Stéphane Rousset.  We have a...

12/22/25 -  I think we often have a tendency to overlook how challenging it is for winemakers to survive. Demanding farming in climates that are often anything but friendly, followed by the challenges of vineyard work in a time when skilled labor is hard to find and the care and attention it takes for meticulous winemakers to make clean natural wines... All of these...

Here's a role-reversal: we are always looking to buy properly stored wine! One case or one hundred cases, La Tache or Fleurie, we are interested. Whatever your motivation might be, we would be happy to provide a valuation - any type or quantity of properly-stored wine you would like to sell is very welcome. We offer help with delivery, rapid payment, and a transparent...

12/20/25 -  With Christmas right around the corner, it seemed like it was time to start suggesting some sparkling wines for the end of the year. For today's offer, here is a collectiion of our favorite non-Champagne sparkling wines, be they Methode Traditionelle or Methode Ancestrale (aka Pétillant Naturel) or "Charmat" as in Prosecco and Lambrusco. As much as we love Champagne, we're very...

12/19/25 -  High in the mountains of eastern Galicia, in the rugged landscapes of Valdeorras and the Ribeira Sacra, Nacho González is making wines that stand out. His project, La Perdida, is inspired by old vineyards of the area: wild, overgrown, biodiverse parcels that are difficult to access and anything but uniform. These are vineyards defined by isolation, granite, slate, and a climate that...

12/18/25 -  Even as the 20th generation winemaker of his family's historic estate, Max Kilburg has quickly begun to make a name for himself. With his first vintage (in 2019) leading Mosel Fine Wines to call his Kabinetts, "firm, precise, racy, and hugely profound," it's clear something special is happening here! Since starting in 2019, Max has expanded a little bit, acquiring an older-vine...

12/17/25 -  Featuring: Vincent Bernard, Vouette & Sorbee, Legrand-Latour, Lamblot, Horiot and More! Although I love to preach about the perfection of Champagne year round, I understand that as the season of celebration is here, it's the time for bottles of bubbles to be shared. And today we have an incredible collection of some of the newest arrivals to our shelves, almost all of...

12/16/25 -  We have been very fortunate to have an extraordinary amount of great wines come through our cellar this year and still have a few wonderful bottles available. Click on the image above to view the wines!

12/15/25 -  One of the earlier offers I wrote when joining the team at Chambers Street Wines was about the Gerard Mugneret wines. A little over a year later and I am just as excited to share the newest release with you. Coming from the best village in Burgundy, these wines are somehow fairly under the radar. This is good news in my opinion...
