1/30/26 -  Chianti Classico lies in the heart of Tuscany between Florence and Siena. Here Sangiovese reigns supreme, but with great variety due to the eleven sub regions each with their distinct terroir. Today we are featuring four Chianti growers: Montesecondo in San Casciano, Monte Berardi in Panzano, I Fabbri in Lamole, and Frascole in Radda. ----------------------- Montesecondo At the Northern edge of the Chianti...

1/29/26 -  The name Velich might not be too unfamiliar due to the incredible wines from Roland Velich of Weingut Moric. Famed for his incredible devotion to Blaufränkisch, but prior to the start of Moric, Roland was making wines side by side with his brother Heinz at their family estate: Weingut Velich. Their father Helmut started the winery in 1959, and while attempting to...

1/26/26 -  I was lucky enough get to revisit some incredible 2022s from Simon Colin last week and I immediately asked if there was enough available that I could write about them! The two wines are his Aligoté and Santenay Rouge. The Aligoté comes from vines planted in 1988 with Southeast exposure on clay-limestone soils. Upon tasting it my immediate reaction was that it overdelivers...

1/24/26 -  It’s always an exciting time of year when we get our small but mighty allocation of incredible wines from Michel Gahier, who consistently makes some of the most pure and electric wines from Jura (or anywhere really) year after year. Based in Montigny-les-Asures in Arbois, the Gahier family has been making wines here since 1874 but Michel really leaned into and perfected...

1/23/26 - Our journey of 2024s from Germany brings us to the Nahe today with the stunning Rieslings from Emrich-Schönleber. The family's history in the region dates back to the mid-18th century but it wasn't until 1965 that Wilhelm Schönleber began to turn the property that once comprised of agriculture, livestock, and winegrowing solely to a winegrowing estate. Wilhelm and his son Werner took...

1/21/26 -  When showcasing a historic producer like Roagna, it’s difficult to find words that haven’t already been said about their wines. One could highlight their continuity in the Langhe since the 1920’s (1978 was their first commercial vintage), massale selection vines, long macerations and long aging, or biodiverse and historic vineyards. Roagna is certainly on the radar of wine lovers for all of...

1/19/26 - There are some extra special wines out there that we often don't get enough of to offer out in emails such as this. But today, I am just trilled to be able to showcase the wines of Domaine Duroché, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Jean-Claude Bachelet, and Boisson. None of them really need much introduction as they are commonly on the lips of  Burgundy drinkers...

1/16/26 -  Today's email celebrates new arrivals from Nicole and John at the Clos des Gravillas in the Languedoc as well as a TINY allocation of the vibrant wines from Philippe and Simon Tessier in Cheverny! And, thanks to our friend Eric Asimov's recent article in the NY Times, the delicious and affordable 2022 Château Peybonhomme-les-Tours Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux from the Hubert family sold out...

1/15/26 -  After recently tasting through an amazing lineup of Breuer wines, I could not resist showcasing the stunning Rieslings (and one Spätburgunder) of Theresa Breuer.   There is over 130 years of history behind the Georg Breuer label. Founded in 1880 by Bernhard Scholl and Albert Hillebrand as part of a wine merchant company and later owned by the Breuer family starting in the...

1/14/26 -  Friuli’s Venezia Giulia is Italy's North-Eastern most region and sits in a melting pot zone where Italy, Slovenia and Austria converge. The land has traded hands many times, from Ancient Rome, to the Lombards, to Alpine Slavs, then the Franks, to The Habsburg Empire, then Napoleon and now unified Italy. I love wines from Friuli and they’re some of my favorites to...

1/12/26 -  Every day is Muscadet time at my house, despite the winter weather, particularly when the amazing values from Domaine de la Parentière are back in stock!
