We're proud to offer an outstanding collection of Vouvrays from Domaine Huet, from 1921 to 2003, from the cellar of a good friend and true connoisseur. These are among the greatest wines of the Loire Valley - and of the world - from an estate that played an important role in the development of French wine law and traditions. The wines of Domaine Huet...

We came across a small collection of vintage wines from Beaujolais and Alsace. Many of the names are well known, and some of their newer vintages are featured here at Chambers Street Wines in the past! >>> View Wines Here <<<

  Jorge Rosa Santos and Rui Lopes, two winemakers and friends, have created a project called Lés-a-Lés that is the culmination of over a decade of work throughout Portugal. With labels modeled after old train tickets, they produce a range of wines from different regions, which we are offering today a-la-carte or as a special 6 pack! This unique Lés-a-Lés package is a window...

Friend of the shop Eric Asimov penned a whimsical little article for the New York Times recently, and we were delighted to see some familiar bottles in the lineup. We happened to have half of the wines from the article in stock when it came out, which has been known to happen thanks to our and Mr. Asimov's impeccable taste! The five wines we...

We are very proud to feature a new selection of the extraordinary organic Champagnes of André Beaufort, with vintages dating back to 2002! This small shipment features many of the vintages we have recently enjoyed, but with the essential difference that most wines in this offer are Brut Nature, recently disgorged. Certainly among the most natural and terroir expressive wines of Champagne, we can't...

Last week I got a text from our friend Eva at Bonhomie Wine Imports about a bottle of finely aged Riesling that she had in her bag. We don't typically do impromptu tastings at the shop, but my curiosity got the best of me, plus it was just one wine! About an hour later we had a little taste of the Später-Veit 2005 Riesling...

The authentic natural wines of Thierry Navarre in the Languedoc have just arrived! We're proud to be working with the affable Thierry Navarre, one of the first producers of natural wines in the Languedoc. Based in the town of Roquebrun in Saint-Chinian, Thierry became the third generation to take over the domaine's high-altitude vineyards in 1988 and continued his grandfather's legacy of preserving ancient varieties....

The Weiser-Ku(e)nstler project began in 2005, born of the passionate vision of husband and wife team Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Kuenstler to give voice and protection to the Mosel’s great, unheralded, endangered steep slate sites.

Alain Coudert's "Clos de la Roilette" Fleurie and Fleurie "Cuvée Tardive" have been great favorites of ours since the late 1980's when we purchased from Alain's jovial father Fernand. The 2023s have just arrived and yes, it was another hot, dry  summer in the Beaujolais, but with just enough rain in July and August to produce wines that are ripe, dense and full-bodied with...

Over the last few weeks, we've received some stellar, energetic, psychedelic wines from a slew of natural wine producers who farm vines and make wines in the vicinity of Barcelona. We've been tasting some of these wines year after year (with the exception of newcomers, La Rural), and the underlying theme for these wines is how "clean" they are. Joan-Ramon will admit himself that...

[Thanks to Fernando Beteta for the use of his beautiful map!] Since the 2014 vintage, we've been enjoying the rare and beautiful Cornas from Domaine Dumien Serrette - a superb but under-the-radar estate with about 2 hectares on the steep slope of "Patou" in the southern zone on granite soils. The vines date back to 1913, and to the 1920s, with a small percentage of...

We recently had the pleasure of acquiring a small collection of wines from Northern Rhone. From vintages ranging from 1989 and all the way up to 2020, there are quite a few recognizable names. Something is sure to catch your eye! >>> View Wines Here <<<

[Image above from the 1955 film SISSI with Romy Schneider about Empress Elizabeth] Fresh off my trip to Austria and Vie Vinum in Vienna, I'm pleased to share our wines from the Greater Vienna Region. From within Austria's capital along the northern and southwestern borders we find vineyards up in the hills. Vines have traditionally been planted there since 1132 but some even as early...
