8/24/26 -  Although Basilicata is one of Italy's least populated regions, small growers are producing some of the most distinct and terroir driven wines. The extinct Vulture volcano (pronounced "vooltooray") has sprinkled ash in the miles around its radius, bringing forth an interesting viticultural history. Aglianico di Vulture is similar to Taurasi in that the main grape is Aglianico, but distinct in that the...

8/21/26 -  New Arrivals from Barbichette, Eminence Road, Nathan K / chëpìka, Ria's Wines, Usonia, Wild Arc and More!  As wine lovers who fancy ourselves students or even professionals with a thirst for knowledge (among other things), it can sometimes feel as though we fall into a bit of an echo chamber of, quote, unquote, “great wines” from wherever our particular focus lies at...

8/20/26 -  The magic of Nebbiolo is in its ability to shapeshift depending on soil type, weather patterns, and the hands of the winemaker. Giovanna Rizzolio's examples in Barbaresco are elegant, high toned, ethereal, fragrant, refined and are some of our absolute favorites! Their beautiful house has been in the family since 1948, but Giovanna bought it over and converted it into the winery...

8/17/26 -  I have been a fan of the wines of Arnaud Sirugue and Sophie Noellat for a handful of years now. I was first introduced to them by their importer, Bertrand, when they just made a Passetoutgrain Rosé (from Vosne-Romanée) and Vosne-Romanée Les Barreaux. Those two wines were fantastic, I have poured that rosé by the glass in the past, and even sent...

8/16/26 -  With so much incredible wine flowing out of Etna, its important we don't forget to continue to champion the wines to the south in Vittoria. Most of the respect for this winegrowing area on the Mediterranean sea is due to the trio at COS, an acronym for friends Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano. Their commitment to biodynamic farming and native...

8/12/26 -  This Spring we did an offer called 'Drink More Fiano' where the singular, unique, and age-defying Fiano di Avellino from Joaquin were introduced. After the success of that offer, it became clear that more of the lineup should be highlighted, including a breezy white blend from the island of Capri, a 2015 Taurasi, a baby Taurasi called I Viaggiatori, and the stunning...

8/11/26 -  We're thrilled to offer today a stunning vertical of the Ridge Monte Bello. With a storied history of appearing at the 1976 Judgement of Paris, to winning an identical tasting that was held 30 years later, the wine has achieved a legendary status standing up to the best that Bordeaux has to offer.Monte Bello Ridge was purchased by Stanford research engineers in...

8/10/26 -  It has been a few years now since Daniel Vollenweider tragically passed away, and with the current release of 2024 dry and 2025 pradikat wines we are starting to see the first few changes that Moritz and Vinzent have made. These changes are ones that I believe bring more clarity to the wines and labeling then in the past, but changes aside,...

8/9/26 -  The 2025 vintage in Piemonte is already being talked about as an incredible, classic vintage. While it will be a few more years until the Barolo are released, the Pelavergas coming out now offer our first peak into the overall quality of 2025. Enough snow and rain early in the winter provided water reserves throughout the growing season. Spring and summer were...

8/8/26 -  Patricia and Jean-Baptiste Ferrandi of Clos U Suale are part of an exciting wave of new winemakers in Corsica who are making the most of the island’s unique terroir to craft elegant and expressive wines that showcase some of the region’s local varietals. Based in Patrimonio, on the northern tip of the island just below the Cap Corse Peninsula, they primarily work...

It inspired me to look at the other Burgundies I have had recently that were of a similar price point,...
