By way of due-diligence we were obliged to taste a bottle of the 1980 Montepulciano, and it was remarkable. If we had been tasting blind I would never have guessed that it was 44 years old. The wine is relatively full-bodied and very fresh and energetic, with bright berry fruit character backed up with savory notes of Mediterranean herbs and stony earth - altogether...

Removed from a temperature-controlled cellar, these wines were purchased on release / late-release, ex-Bodega. For the time being this is our last offer of Spanish wine - all guaranteed, as always. >>> View Wines Here <<<

More and more I find myself drawn to the wines from the Willamette Valley. Whether it be due to the long growing season, cooler climate, high elevation vineyards, pockets of volcanic soils or simply the congregation of talented winemakers, some of the most exciting wines I've had recently have come from Oregon. While the region is not immune to the scourge of industrialization, there...

Cheverny, Cour-Cheverny and Vins de France from Philippe and Simon Tessier! The eastern Touraine, and more specifically a golden triangle between Cheverny, Mareuil-sur-Cher and Les Montils, as well as both banks of the Cher, have become one of the most important centers in France for the rebirth of true, living wines. Philippe and Simon have been a force in this movement, as well as...

We're proud to offer the 2022 Crozes-Hermitages and Saint-Joseph from Domaine Stéphane Rousset! The Rousset family goes back eleven generations in Erome -  Stéphane's great uncle was the legendary Raymond Roure, from whom the Roussets purchased the "Picaudières" vineyard in Gervans, and his father Robert, while officially retired, still helps out.The vineyards, mostly in Gervans and Erôme in the northern sector of Crozes, produce wines...

We've been enjoying the wines of the Lafouge family in Auxey-Duresses for more than 25 years. It gives us great pleasure to offer the particularly beautiful 2022s! Very enjoyable current drinking is certainly possible but cellaring of 5 to 10 years is highly recommended for the village and 1er Crus. These are absolutely delicious traditional wines that will bring a smile to any lover...

These are among the most authentic and age-worthy wines of the Northern Rhone, imported by Neal Rosenthal. 2021 was a difficult vintage, generally producing wines with lower alcohol and higher acidity than the hot, dry years of 2018-2020. In the hands of these growers, however, the results were outstanding, offering superb terroir expression and the potential for long aging.   We're offering four wines...

From our archaic Point of Sale program (that we only stopped using 2 months ago!), it looks like the last time we sold Jean-Christophe Garnier's wines was in 2016. I always enjoyed his wines, and never fail to grab a bottle when I see one in France. Here at Chambers Street Wines, his name rarely comes up - the wines were in short supply...

We grew up in a Francophile world of wine; we had hardly ever tasted old Rioja before our introduction in 2001 to CVNE and Lopez-Heredia. Anyone who has been lucky enough to taste those wines will testify to their splendor in old age. Being Francophiles, the finesse and depth of the Rioja wines reminded us of fine vintages of Haut Brion and La Mission...

Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot, begun in 1962, is in Montigny-les-Arsures, just a few kilometers from Arbois. Stéphane, their son, took over in 1990 and has slowly but surely established the Tissot name as an important one in the history of Jura wine. A tireless vigneron, Stéphane farms between 45 and 50 hectares biodynamically, travels to distant lands as a spokesperson for the Jura,...

No, we're not suggesting that you serve Vosne-Romanee "Les Suchots" with your hamburgers! But we love selling real Burgundies of terroir at reasonable prices, and today's email contains some of our favorites that will provide real Pinot Noir pleasure with anything off the grill - and without breaking the bank. We'd like to especially feature the wines of Domaine Celine Perrin in Ladoix, which display the lovely...

We just received a small collection of old Riojas from Spain. All of the bottles have at least several decades of age and are ready to drink now. Mature Rioja wines offer reliable pleasure through generous, shimmering Tempranillo fruit and textural depth, frequently at more affordable prices than other great European wines with comparable age. Traditional local winemaking in Rioja favored rustic young reds...

Château Peybonhomme-les-Tours and Château La Grolet: Back in Stock! Rachel Hubert Chambers Street customers need no introduction to these two over-achieving Bordeaux estates owned by the Hubert family, certified organic and Biodynamic since the 1990s. Jean-Luc is enjoying being a grandfather now, and Rachel, who was just beginning her career at the family estate in the 2000s, is now fully in charge and running...

There are several newsletters that I have been meaning to send over the past year. Moving up the street and rolling out the new website may have set back my plans, but I'm finally getting to it! Highlighting my favorite Verdejo producers was on the list, rounding up a compendium of unfortified Palominos is definitely on the list (stay tuned!). I have also been meaning to...
