1/15/2025 Today we are excited to offer you wines from two exceptional estates from a region steeped in history and tradition. Monterosso was founded when childhood friends Aurelio Marconi, Giovanni Ferlito, and Gianluca Strano decided to share their love of Sicily's native food and wine culture. Determined not to take any shortcuts, the trio started working with local producers to scout sites around Mount...

1/13/2025 [Bernard, Anne, and Pierre Boisson in the Cellar (Photo: Polaner Selections)] There has been a cult following in the New York wine scene for the many labels from the Boisson family: Boisson-Vadot, Pierre Boisson, and Anne Boisson. Different names aside, today the wines are collaboratively produced and bottled in the family’s cellar in Meursault with Anne and Pierre at the helm with their...

1/11/2025 A new release of 'Clisson' from Domaine de la Pépière is always welcome, even in the middle of a cold-snap in January! Beginning in 2005, Marc Ollivier at Pépière produced this beautiful cuvée from a small parcel of 50 to 100 year-old vines within the Pépière vineyard. Originally called "Granite de Clisson" after the unique bedrock in the vineyard, Marc changed the name...

1/10/2025 When discussing great American Pinot Noir, and particularly great Oregon Pinot Noir, the conversation would be remiss without mention of Cameron and its inimitable owner/winemaker John Paul. John is someone so full of personality he’s impossible to forget, even in the most brief of meetings. His wines share this same quality – always spirited and full of energy, but simultaneously profound and ready...

1/7/2025 Is something amiss at Chambers Street Wines? We're into the first full week of the new year, and have yet to send out a Loire Valley e-mail blast! Don't worry, we never forget our roots (in more ways than one!) - and we have a nice grab-bag of Loire whites, reds and bubbles to share, with more to come throughout the month and...

1/6/2025 I'm excited today to offer a wide range of "entry" level Burgundy from top producers that punch well above their classification weight. I truly believe that Burgundy from a classification standpoint is fairly user friendly. It all begins with regional wines, Bourgogne Blancs and Rouges. These wines can often be an eye into a producer’s style of winemaking and seen as “baby” versions...

1/4/2025 [Ludwig Hiedler III pouring me their Family Reserve from mag with it's traditional label...] [Vineyards high up above the town of Lagenloios proper (coutesy instagram)] Being fortunate enough to visit this Kamptal family estate last May, Hiedler wowed me with their combination of traditional principals & techniques with modern marketing (as Ludwig's tee shirt illustrates so brilliantly, a play on words with NWA's...

1/3/2025 La Palma is the northwesternmost island in the Canary Island chain, and among the youngest of the volcanic isles. An enormous caldera dominates the island, and the most recent major eruption was less than 50 years ago. Characterized by intense altitude variations (the highest peak rises nearly 2,500 meters above the sea) and a stark contrast between black ash soils in the south...

12/31/2024 Come on down to the cozy confines of 79 Chambers Street today and enjoy a taste of Champagne while you shop for last-minute New Year needs - we'll open a few bottles of the great recently disgorged older wines from Champagne André Beaufort this afternoon to see how they're doing. (Maybe 1999, 2003, 2006...?) It's our twenty-fourth New Year at Chambers Street Wines...

12/30/2024 The modern landscape of winemaking in Santa Ynez Valley owes a lot to pioneers like Bob Lindquist (Qupe), Steve Edmunds (Edmunds St. John) and Randall Grahm (Bonny Doon), affectionately known as the Rhône Rangers for their championing of Syrah and other Rhône varietals dating back to the early 80s. That spirit of crafting old-world style wines from Rhône grapes in central California lives...
