Vajra Langhe Rosso
In some ways, winemaking isn’t complicated at all: you squish grapes and then you let them ferment. They could be fermented in barrels, or in stainless steel, or in cement tanks, if you like. Here, Vajra has let the grapes ferment in stainless steel and left them to age in the same tanks for a few more months. Then they bottle it. If that sounds too simple, just know that in this wine the grapes being fermented are Nebbiolo (Vajra makes Barolo after all), Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Albarosso, Chatus and Slarina. Haven’t heard of the last few? Neither has anyone else outside of folks who’ve been making wine in Piemonte for generations. That's where your complexity comes from.

Venge Silencieux Cabernet
If the name Nils Venge doesn’t mean anything to you, let us throw you this tip. The first U.S. wine that ever scored 100 points was Groth Vineyards 1985 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon made by, you guessed it, Nils Venge. Nils’ son, Kirk, has learned at his father’s footsteps, and fourth generation wine professional that he is (father and son both raised in Napa), they know how to put together a remarkable blend.

Vieux Chateau Renaissance
Most Bordeaux never make it to the U.S. because there are a surprisingly small number of importers who have range and reach to get the wines into the hands of America’s small and powerful wholesalers. So it’s fun to subvert the system and bring in some things direct, letting the little guys bring you wines that aren’t part of some faceless distribution conglomerate. And this is from the heralded 2020 vintage!

Waccamaw Proprietary Red
Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.

White and Sea
It’s surprising that grapes like Sauvignon Blanc aren’t more widely planted in southern France, as they can be harvested fairly early to retain bright and citrusy acidity without really losing character or even complexity. Maybe wines like this will encourage more winemakers to try working with crisp and aromatic white grapes in Languedoc-Roussillon.

Willowlake Cabernet
Another completely unique Cabernet opportunity brought to you by some of the best wine brokers in the business. Declassified Cabernet from one of the biggest names in Chalk Hill. We just can't tell you who :)

Willowlake Pinot Noir
Finally! A wine that rivals Belle Glos at a much friendlier price point. Pinot lovers unite!

Z/N Zinfandel
I know, I know, Zinfandel is the same grape as Italy’s Primitivo. But is it? Even the best Primitivo doesn’t have the fruitiness, the power, the sheer intensity of California’s best Zins. And how do we describe that fruitiness? I always find that it has something like more red fruits than black fruits, with a little hint of red currant jelly right at the end that is part of the easy friendliness of the grape.
