8/20/2024 We didn't want to be the ones to declare it the End of Summer, but what the heck... it is late August already. We'll likely still have some warm weeks in September, as the Fall doesn't really kick in as quickly as it used to, so why not stretch out the Summer vibes with some bottles of Chablis!? We already had an inkling...

8/19/2024 [Marie & Vincent Tricot (photo from Le Caveau)] Over the years, the natural wine world has been developing a thirst for wines from the Auvergne, a rural region nestled in the center of France, with Clermont-Ferrand as its major city. The area is known to most French people as a great region for camping, and cheese. Indeed, the mountain ranges, and over 300...

8/17/2024 I’ve had enormous shoes to fill over the last couple of years, stepping into an interim role keeping Champagnes stocked at Chambers Street and maintaining our dedication to grower Champagnes from producers who, in the shadows of industrial negociants, focused on terroir and minimal intervention, and paved the way for an artisanal wine movement in the historied region. To some degree, I have...

8/16/2024 Today we present the beautiful 2022 vintage from La Perdida, the project of Nacho Gonzalez, from rustic and magical vineyards in Galicia, Spain. There have been times that we've recommended aging one or two of Nacho's wines when we sent out a newsletter, but these '22s are positively singing, with elegant tannins and pure fruit. Of course, some time in the cellar for...

8/15/2024 [Rocche di Castiglione in May] Except for a 2-year pause for the pandemic, I’ve visited Brovia every spring since 2003 (we were already selling the wines at Chambers Street). Being in a the-more-I-know-the-less-I-know frame of mind, I won't claim any special insights about Brovia (or much else), but it's a visit I particularly look forward to. I always admire and even love the...

8/14/2024 We’re very pleased to offer a superb collection of sweet wines from Domaine Pinon, direct from the estate, beginning with the “Goutte D’Or” 1990, through the magnificent “Goutte D’Or” 2018, with our favorite current releases of dry and sparkling wines as well. We met the Pinon family in 1981, and have happily followed the progress of three generations at this wonderful domain, though...

Want to support domestic winemakers who are making incredible wines while having to navigate the sometimes tricky and expensive logistics of making wine in the U.S.?

We’re very happy to have just received new shipments from two wonderful estates, in Muscadet and Gigondas, both of which have been in organic farming for generations – of course this brings great character and terroir expression to the wines.

The wines of Domaine Huet...

This unique Lés-a-Lés package is a window...

Friend of the shop Eric Asimov penned a whimsical little article for the New York Times recently, and we were delighted to see some familiar bottles in the lineup. We happened to have half of the wines from the article in stock when it came out, which has been known to happen thanks to our and Mr. Asimov's impeccable taste! The five wines we...

We are very proud to feature a new selection of the extraordinary organic Champagnes of André Beaufort, with vintages dating back to 2002! This small shipment features many of the vintages we have recently enjoyed, but with the essential difference that most wines in this offer are Brut Nature, recently disgorged. Certainly among the most natural and terroir expressive wines of Champagne, we can't...
