6/27/25 -  It’s always a good day when we receive a new drop from Sandlands, one of our favorite California producers who perennially turn out some of the most compelling wines in the region. Today feels particularly special, welcoming the much-anticipated 2023s, a spectacular vintage with a long, cool, fairly even growing season which has already birthed a slew of amazing wines showing tremendous...

6/26/25 -  It's a mistake (and an easy one) to take good wine, and the good winemaking it comes from, for granted. Given our focus on low-intervention, small producers who farm organically and biodynamically, we're constantly surrounded by wines made in a thoughtful way. A recent tasting of Nanclares y Prieto and Envinate, kindly provided by Liz Fayad of Jose Pastor Selections,  brought me...

6/25/25 -  We're very happy to have the full range of the vibrant Roussillon wines from our friend Eric Laguerre back in the store! Eric's granite-based wines are joined today by the unique natural wines of Tom Lubbe at Matassa, and two of our favorites from the Gauby family grown on limestone/schist soils in Calce. We're also happy to introduce a lovely white from...

6/23/25 -  Gut Oggau has been on the scene in New York for quite some time now, having been offered here over the past decade. A recent tasting of this lineup reminded me of how fantastic, expressive, and pure these wines are. As we are very much in summer now, the freshness of this lineup from all styles white, rose, and red is perfect!...

6/21/25 -  I have championed Champagne as an everyday wine for as long as I can remember. Last month I got the chance to spend several days in the region, and it reconfirmed my passion for the complex, dynamic and wide-ranging wines being made today in Champagne. From an early point in my wine career it became clear that Champagne is a highly versatile...

6/20/25 -  A little over ten years ago, we first met Thomas Batardiere, when he had a tiny, cramped "cellar" (actually just a garage) on the side of the road in the small town of Rablay-sur-Layon. I still remember the visit, tasting from some barrels and tanks and feeling that I was witnessing the beginning of a very special and promising estate. The first...

6/19/25 -  This begins a two-part email on our favorite producers in Bourgueil, the Caslot family at Domaine de la Chevalerie and Domaine Stéphane Guion! Situated on the right bank of the Loire, opposite Chinon and just west of Tours, Bourgueil produces beautiful wines from 100% Cabernet Franc, both to enjoy young and for long-term aging. Today we're proud to offer three superb wines...

6/18/25 -  Do you ever come across a blind spot that leaves you wondering “how did I miss this?”. Like, how did I ignore Yo La Tengo for this long? And why, after 25 years in the wine business, did I not realize how exceptional the wines of Piero Busso are?! What an oversight. Well, every discovery is a new opportunity, and what a...

Clos Sorbe is a fantastic Premier Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis located just East, down the slope from the Grand Crus of the village, specifically, Clos des Lambrays. David Duband's 2018 Clos Sorbé would normally be $120, but we have marked it down to $99.99 so grab a bottle (or more) while you can!

We're happy to announce the arrival of a small new shipment from Julien Guillot at the Clos des Vignes du Maynes, along with more inventory from our friends Gautier Roussille and Sophie Michel at Guillemot-Michel - two estates that are superstars of Biodynamic farming and natural winemaking in the Macon!

Today we offer a handful of new arrivals from Alsace from our friends Philippe and Blandine (pictured above). With an extended crew of winemakers and friends both near and far, they are approaching natural wine production in a studied and simultaneously free-spirited way, working across the board without using added sulfites, with overwhelmingly clean and exciting results!

As the days get warmer, and you begin to reach for some thirst quenching wines, look no further then the following lineup of spectacular Austrian wines. Today we are showcasing two roses and four reds all from either Burgenland or Carnumthum, the heart of red wine growing in Austria! We have plenty of Blaufrankisch as well as St. Laurent, Pinot Noir, and Zweigelt
