12/7/24 - Over a month ago, we had the pleasure of meeting and tasting with Marta Rovira from Mas d'en Gil, a historic estate in Priorat that has been operating since the 1860s and is currently run by Marta and her family. We talked about the "old" Priorat of the 90s, when her parents' generation focused on integrating international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and...

12/3/24 - It's a rare occurrence when a wine comes along that has each of us at Chambers Street in complete agreement, and perhaps even rarer when we can all agree that it's good! Such was the case last week when our friend Hannah at Polaner left us a bottle of the 2023 Arnot-Roberts Trousseau, which had all of us singing its praises before...

12/2/24 - Pascal Mugneret took over his father’s domaine in 2005 and started off his role by eliminating the use of herbicides. By 2010 the use of synthetic sprays was discontinued and biodynamic methods were introduced. Even with these viticultural changes, Pascal believes that the wines still carry his father’s style: inviting, generous, and "gourmand." As Pascal describes, “we observed more suppleness in our...

11/30/24 - We're always looking for estates in Burgundy that practice certified organic or biodynamic farming, so we were very happy to find Domaine Céline Perrin in Ladoix which converted to organic agriculture in 2003. The estate sells most of their small production to local clients and restaurants, so we're fortunate to have this additional allocation of the 2022s. The wines display the lovely...

11/25/24 - How often are you able to truly get in on the ground floor of a new domaine, especially in Burgundy where so many are rooted in multiple generations? 2022 is the inaugural vintage of Famille Messager-Germain and it is evident that it won’t be long before it is a household name. I was lucky enough to visit the young couple, Simon Messager...

11/23/24 - As the holiday season approaches, there is no better time to stock up on Champagne. Although I am a firm believer in the idea that you can drink Champagne any night of the week, any week of the year, I understand that many choose holidays, birthdays, and New Years to bring out the bubbles. So just in time for Thanksgiving, we bring...

11/22/24 - The Raventós i Blanc wines, from the Raventós family in Penedes, have been staples of the Chambers Street Wines Spanish section since the early days. For as long as I can remember, there was a permanent stack of the 'Rosé de Nit' sparkling rosé, and it continues to be a mainstay of our sparkling wine shelf. Over the years, I developed a...

11/19/24 - There are many great wines in this offer: Cordero di Montezemolo, Marcarini, Oddero, Ratti (and of course Accomasso) - all still produce fantastic wines, but they were outstanding back in the day. Note the Rocche di Costamagna - new to me, their current wines are terrific, so I'm going to try some older vintages... Jamie Wolff   >>> VIEW WINES HERE <<<

11/18/24 - By no means exhaustive, today's newsletter presents a short list of some of our favorite producers in Germany's Mosel Valley. All of the names above have graced our shelves at various times over the last two decades, and for good reason! They represent a cadre of like-minded producers who are dedicated to preserving old vineyards on steep slopes that were all but...
