6/16/26 -  We know the team hasn't stopped celebrating and neither have we. Thank you Knicks for the great memories. Here are some bubbles with some non-sparkling French wines mixed in.  Click on the image above to view the collection!

6/15/26 -  Today we have a lovely offer for the wines of Azienda Agricola Tiberio in Abruzzo, Italy. In 2000 Riccardo Tiberio found an old plot of Trebbiano Abruzzese, the more obscure version of the more widely planted Trebbiano Toscana, as well as some old Montepulciano. The quality and depth of their wines stems from the early decision to farm these old plots, while...

6/13/26 -  It’s always exciting when we have the opportunity to introduce a new winemaker to the U.S. market, and today we are thrilled to offer the beautiful Alsatian wines from Domaine Exeterra. We first met Florence in February of 2025 at one of the many natural wine fairs in Montpellier during the annual “salon season.” Eben and I had caught her at the...

6/12/26 -  This is an arrival that I have been very impatiently waiting for. I first tried the Champagnes of Vincent Cuillier at a tasting in March of 2023, when his first wines landed in New York, and I have been a fan of these wines ever since. This release is probably his most exciting yet as it introduces three new cuvées!If you are...

6/11/26 -  My introduction to the wines of Girolamo Russo was a steady progression. I first started seeing them on wine lists of respectable Italian restaurants and then finally got to taste them for myself while working at La Medusa, a Sicilian restaurant in Seattle. Meredith Molli is the Chef and Owner there and is a big fan of the wines and champion for...

6/10/26 -  Today we have some exciting new arrivals from a few of our favorite producers in California, including new vintages from the old-vine gurus Sandlands, beautiful spring releases from modern Rhône Rangers Âmevive, and some incredible wines from Raj Parr’s Phelan Farm and his négoce project Brij. Additionally we’ve received the (sadly) last shipment of 2025 Helios Chenin Blanc from Pax Mahle, one...

6/9/26 -  Today's private collection offer covers a wide range of Châteaneuf-du-Pape bottlings along with other Rhone gems.  Click on the image above to view the collection!

6/8/26 -  It seems like the last name Morey is synonymous with Burgundy. With that, it can sometimes be confusing to follow along. Sylvain Morey is the brother of Caroline Morey (wife of Pierre-Yves Colin) and the son of Jean-Marc Morey. In 2014 Jean-Marc Morey was dissolved and split up between Sylvain and Caroline making what was a small family domaine much smaller! Working...

6/7/26 -  After not having enough to go around last year, we have doubled down and ordered a ton of Ulli Stein's fantastic Rose along with a bit of the sparkling Rosé Secco to cure any and all of your pink drink needs. The 2025 Rose is mainly Pinot Noir with about 20% Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon fermented and aged in stainless steel. It...

6/6/26 -  Today's offer contains many of the Rhone wines we tasted with the winemakers last winter in France, which have just arrived at the store and warehouse, along with a few returning favorites. They represent some of the finest values in the shop - or any other shop for that matter - most for beautiful current drinking, but with some offering superb cellaring...

A restock and new cuvée from Vincent Bernard, introducing Julien and Karine Prelat, and a new vintage release from Legrand-Latour. 6/5/26 -  It is days like today when all the stars just fall into place, and I mean that literally as the following Champenois are Stars in my view. I am really excited to have so many incredible Champagnes available today. See below for...

6/4/26 -  Before an incredible trip to Italy in April, I was already a fan of Natale Simonetta's wines. To no surprise, spending the afternoon sipping, chatting, whistling, playing guitar (and getting by with a mix of English and Italian) brought an even deeper appreciation for his Barbaresco bottlings. (Photo above: Greg Rubin, Natale Simonetta & Marisa Licandro)The magic in the bottle has much...

6/3/26 -  In honor of the Giro d'Italia, we kicked the week off with a private collection from all around Italy, then followed with a trove of Rieslings from Germany and Austria, with a few Gruner Veltliners in the mix.

Plus New Arrivals from Boyer-Martenot, Bernard-Bonin, Rollin, C & G Boillot, and Ampeau! 6/1/26 -  I was in Burgundy last month and after retuning home a friend asked what wines had taken me most by surprise, and before really thinking through I said F&L Pillot. I shocked myself with how immediate my response was, but I think of the handful of visits that week,...

5/31/26 -  This lovely Sunday, we have two distinct Italian roses on offer. One, a crisp yet complex Tuscan Cannaiolo Rosato from Montenidoli and the other a darker, textural Cerasuolo style rosato from Rabasco. Cheers to two of our favorite women winemakers and their stunning 2025 releases!
