Burgundy, Rhone and Beaujolais

6/6/25 -  In the intensifying heat, we're beginning to crave that summer escape to some imagined island paradise, free of worry, filled with wine. When lost in such fantasies, we can't help but gravitate towards the brilliant wines of the Canary Islands. With such great diversity of terroir spanning eight different islands, each representing a mosaic of microclimates, it should come as no surprise...

6/5/25 -  Radikon is a pioneer in Italy of extended skin-contact white wine – orange wine, that is (and a pioneer in making great wine with zero added sulfur). These are the best of their type - very consistent, fascinating wines, with finesse.

Today we have a truly exciting offer for you: a crazy low price on the 2023 Fanny Sabre Bourgogne Blanc! I tasted this wine quite recently and was blown away by the wine's purity and minerality. We were able to get a great deal on the wine and are excited to pass that along to you!

Though our offering today doesn't follow the route of the epic Giro...

5/27/25 - The reminder from the wall of a little auberge in Beaujolais is straightforward: "A meal without wine is a day without sun." Today's late May Beaujolais offering focuses on producers that we have championed for years, if not decades, here at Chambers Street. All of these winemakers work (or worked) in stark contrast to the overwhelming majority of industrial producers and co-ops...

There really aren’t any wines quite like the ones Evan Lewandowski makes. Since starting Ruth Lewandowski Wines over twenty years ago, Evan’s passion project has blossomed into a full line of consistently soulful, incredibly unique bottlings, using often overlooked varietals to make wines that defy categorization yet feel composed, even classic in a way.

5/19/25 -  It is not every day that you find a rosé from Burgundy, but even further it is not every day that you find a rosé from Burgundy where the fruit is coming from Vosne-Romanée! From inarguably some of the best real estate for wines in the entire world comes this humble, delicious rosé.  Both Arnaud Sirugue (of Domaine Robert Sirugue) and Sophie Noellat...
