It's that time again for our famous NARF (New Arrivals and Returning Favorites) email. Some German gems, Summer-appropriate Greek restocks, Hungarian Furmint, new Iruai wines from Methode Sauvage (CA), cult-favorite Turley Cinsault, an exclusive Sauvignon Blanc from Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme, a refreshing sparkling Rosé from Hervé Villemade. De Moor, Foillard, Matassa! It's a smorgasbord of tantalizing wines at a time when you'd least expect them!...

We are just too excited to wait for this spectacular lot of Produttori to arrive from one of our oldest and most reliable Italian collector friends, so it's offered here on a pre-arrival basis, with delivery in the fall. Buon Appetito! We’ve been lucky to taste most of the wines made by the Produttori del Barbaresco – back to the early 1960s. If there...

A chemistry student turned stonemason, Mark Angeli of La Ferme de la Sansonniere fell for wine, changed career and moved to Anjou, in 1989 in search of affordable lands to develop his ideal vision of agriculture. In the schistous foothills of the noble rot heaven, Bonnezeaux, he luckily stumbled upon the Ferme de La Sansonnière, an historic and polycultural property, then selling conventional wines...

We first met Thomas Batardiere in 2014, shortly after he released his first wines. A native of Angers, Thomas is not from a wine-making family, but he became fascinated with natural wines and pursued a career in wine after studying anthropology and film-making. After spending several years working with Mathieu Vallée at Château Yvonne (Saumur), Thomas started his own project in 2012, with 2...

We haven't made a secret of our love for fine old Nebbiolo, but our passion for the wines extends to these more recent bottles - wines showing maturity while retaining some primary character - in many ways hitting the sweet spot where they will drink beautifully now, or continue to develop with age. While prices for a handful of Barolos and Barbarescos have increased...

I don’t recall ever seeing Cronin until just a few weeks ago when we were presented with this small stash, and we...
