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. Each are making singular, special wines...

9/17/26 -  Lately we have been sipping excellent Italian wines which are perfect for transitioning into Fall. Liguria is heavily weighted in today's selection featuring (from west to east) Maccario Dringenberg, Bruna, Claudio Vio, and Maneterra. Continue reading for more wines from Friuli, Abruzzo, Valle d'Aosta, Umbria & Tuscany.

9/16/26 -  This week we featured two French collections.

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...

Introducing Ciderie de Verzy, with restocks of Bouvy and Gamet! 9/11/26 -  About a year and a half ago I was introduced to the world of Ciders made in Champagne and you were all as equally excited about these new releases as I was. 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...

9/9/26 -  This week, we offered a collection of impeccably stored Bordeaux back vintages as a cure-all for the post Labor day blues, and a big collection of Italian wines from Tuscany, Umbria, and all over the boot to help kick off the Fall season of private collections.

9/6/26 -  Today we travel to the Aube, the southernmost subregion of Champagne that is actually closer to Chablis then it is Reims, and Epernay. Here, Aurélien Gerbais (photo above) represents the fourth generation to lead Domaine Pierre Gerbais where he has been at the helm since 2011.  In more recent years it feels like there continues to be more and more incredible talent...

9/3/26 -  While we are all big Nebbiolo fans here at CSW, it is important to highlight the true diversity that exists in Piemonte. Grapes like Barbera and Dolcetto are included today, with deeper cuts like Freisa, Ruche, and Grignolino showing the fuller spectrum of the region. Some of the growers on today's offer are well known and some are talented newcomers. Continue reading...

9/2/26 -  This week featured two stellar collections, one chock full of German and Austrian wines, and the other a retrospective of great Rhone and Beaujolais producers. Click on the images below to view the collections. German and Austrian Galore Rhone and Beaujolais

8/31/26 -  Aurélien Laherte makes some of the most compelling single parcel wines in Champagne, particularly within the Coteaux Sud D'Epernay: the sub region set between the Cotes des Blancs and the Vallee de la Marne. This opportune combination provides pockets of soils that have the best of each region. While there are so many delicious wines to celebrate from this impeccable estate, today...

8/30/26 -  Today we are highlighting four wine that represent the best of Gattinara. Here at CSW we adore wines from this sub-Alpine zone for their approachability upon release and serious aging potential. Alto Piemonte was once more prestigious than Barolo, but two world wars, phylloxera, and the rapidly expanding textile industry caused farmers to abandon vines out of necessity. The three producers here...
