4/7/2025 [Simon Colin (Photo: Bertrand's Wines)] As many know by now, I often love to write a full profile on a winemaker, but this week small allocations from three winemakers all arrived around the same time and instead of picking one I figured why not showcase them all! All three of these winemakers are making terroir driven White Burgundies (with a few reds) ranging...

4/5/2025 [Stefan Meyer (Photo: Bonhomie Wine Imports)] Stefan Meyer was in New York just last week and it was a true pleasure to taste through his lineup of wines. His farming philosophy since he took over his family vines in 2011 has evolved beautifully, starting immediately with strictly organic viticulture with certification in 2019, and as of the 2023 vintage is certified biodynamic. Stefan...

4/4/2025 With winter shifting into spring, and then back into winter again, I can’t think of a better way to warm our cold and weary souls than to welcome some new arrivals from the great state of California! Of particular note are the outstanding 2023 Heritage wines from Bedrock. 2023 was by many accounts a monumental vintage in Sonoma and the surrounding areas, described...

4/3/2025 We will not be addressing the recent news on tariffs today. Surely our sifu, David Lillie will have some humorous and wise remarks to share in the near future. Instead, we will proceed with our previously planned itinerary, a voyage to Provence and an offer of some classic estates that are known for their terroir-driven, age-worthy wines, and not for pale, one-dimensional rosé!...

4/2/2025 Hervé in the vineyard (Photo: Rosenthal Wine Merchant) I'm going to Italy! So while I'm gone for the next couple of weeks I can't let you all go without some wine! Nestled under the Alps is the obscure winemaking region of the Aosta Valley, officially known as the Vallée D'Aoste. Throughout the entire valley there are various growers here that cultivate high altitude...

3/31/2025 David Duband (Photo: Polaner Selections) Small Negociant projects seem to pop up left and right these days especially in Burgundy. However, it is fairly less common to see someone with the experience like David Duband start a new project when his domaine has already had so much success. Beginning in 2018, David set out to work with new appellations as well as experiment...

3/28/2025 Today's email features the two giants of Muscadet, Domaine de la Pépière and Jo Landron's Domaine de la Louvetrie along with the important domain of Claude and Sébastien Branger in Maisdon and a newcomer to the US, the Menager family's Domaine de la Parentière in Vallet, all certified organic and/or biodynamic. Domaine de la Parentière has been organic for three generations, finally receiving...

3/28/2025 I have been delving more into Sicilian wines more these days, it truly feels like an underappreciated high quality wine making region with its plethora of indigenous varietals and unique terroirs. There's been a lot of focus on Mount Etna, with the increased attention on the northern side but today I'd like to take us to the south. New to my gastronomical experience...

3/26/2025 Moses Gadouche showing off the amount of sediment in a typical bottle before disgorgement. Perhaps there is not much to celebrate these days, with plenty of uncertainty and anxiety in the wine trade and beyond. Still, we find ourselves with a plethora of delicious sparkling wines, headlined by some rare back-vintage releases from Les Capriades in the Loire Valley. Completely unrelated to potential...

3/25/2025 Beaujolais Mags! Rhone Favorites! Aged Bordeaux! A little bit of everything, its Madness! >>> View Wines Here <<<

3/22/2015 Our love for French wines - especially from off-the beaten path appellations - is well documented and longstanding. We will often walk customers to the Loire Valley section of the shop for any or all of their requests, but today we are going to skip over France and highlight many new arrivals and returning favorites from other locales, from the west coast of...

With prices in the stratosphere, we're making a special attempt today to introduce some inexpensive but truly delicious wines to our Burgundy-loving customers in the hopes that you may experience the superb quality and great character of these true wines of...
