Tenuta di Arceno Chianti Riserva
Located in the Chianti Classico, Arceno is both traditional and modern. Here the region’s grape, Sangiovese, has 10% Cabernet added to it, gaining both some muscle and power but also a sense of flavor familiarity from that grape too. This is one of those wines that we recommend not only because of Arceno’s excellence and the great reviews but because the 2019 vintage is universally considered to be an ideal vintage.

Terrasses de la Mer
So, is it okay if I predict that Sauvignon Blanc becomes the world’s most widely planted grape in the next decade? In southern France, with the collection of hills, valleys, and plains rolling down to the Mediterranean, it thrives. Sure, the plains are not where you grow Sauvignon Blanc, but there are plenty of other spots where you do. There these wines are vibrant, expressive and tangy – and it’s rare that those three descriptors go together.

Touran
Within the Campo de Borja region, the Garnacha (Grenache) grape is queen and king. That’s to say, it can be plush, gentle and friendly or it can be powerful, intense and even imperious. Touran is a fascinating blend of the two: both powerful and plush.

Trefethen Dragon's Tooth
The Trefethen family are true Napa royalty. They honor their grandmother with this wine, a Welsh woman who was “the original inspiration for our estate in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District”. The label is adorned with the symbol of Wales, “Y Ddraig Goch”, or Dragon’s Tooth. It’s mostly Malbec (with some Petit Verdot, Cab Sauv and Merlot) from the rockiest part of the vineyard.

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.

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!

Villa Gaubert Rose
It’s rosé season because it’s warm and getting warmer and rosés are cold and citrusy and tangy and refreshing and, well, once they’re properly cold, they’re delicious. Did I mention that they need to be cold? Dominique Haverlan bought the old Château Gaubert in Portets in 1988, which was then in ruins. He made it into something important, but he didn’t’ forget to make wine that you will want to drink at a reasonable velocity. That’s what rosé is.

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.
