9/27/26 -  Mount Etna is one of the most fascinating and exciting wine regions in Italy. There are many top estates, some that existed before Etna's early 2000's wine renaissance and some that moved into the area during that time. Now the region is in a sweet spot, with a fun diversity of growers who stood the test of time and are releasing consistently...

9/24/26 -  Carsten Saalwächter might very well be the rising star of the Rheinhessen, and he's acheiving this all while staying far away from Riesling. In an area that was once so cold that grapes struggled to reach ripeness, he is thriving, and making Silvaner, Weisser Burgunder, Grauerburgunder, and Chardonnay in an almost Burgundian quality. I have seen an array of people compare his...

9/21/26 -  Today we are shining a light on a series of hills called the Colli Tortonesi in southeast Piemonte where the region meets Liguria and Lombardia. This area is most well-known for Timorasso but is also the native home of Barbera. Timorasso is having a moment of popularity now, but its history stretches back to the 14th century. We must give credit to...

Three incredible winemakers to start paying attention to! 9/18/26 -  There is so much more to Austrian wine then the famed Gruner Veltliners and Rieslings of the Wachau, Kremstal, and Kamptal. With today's email I want to travel further Southeast to Carnuntum, Leithaberg, and Eisenberg to check out the wines of Hanna Glatzer, Leo Sommer, and Clemens Krutzler.

9/14/26 -  When I first started here at CSW two years ago, one of my first email offers was a highlight of all things Aligoté. Last fall I did another selection continuing to find as many new and exciting producers as I could, and today I am thrilled to come to you again with a fun, fresh list of some of the best Aligoté...

9/12/26 -  Putting aside personal preferences, most French wine buffs would agree that the top 10 most "important," relevant or recognized wine regions are, in no particular order: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire, Champagne, Rhone, Alsace, Provence, Beaujolais, Languedoc-Roussillon and (take your pick) Jura/Southwest/Corsica. It hopefully does not scandalize anyone to make this generalization, and we sincerely extend our apologies if anyone is offended! Debates and...

It has been a little while, but we finally have enough of a restock available to offer, along with a...

9/10/26 -  Chambers Street has had Brovia on the shelves for over 20 years, basically as long as the shop has been around. Jamie Wolff is a huge champion for the wines, having visited Brovia almost every year since 2003. I am also a big fan of the Castiglione Falletto based winery, but gained an even deeper appreciation after attending a seminar with Elena...
