Belleplane Chardonnay
In France, the grape is sometimes secondary - it’s the place that counts. The French label police have loosened up and they’re okay with Chardonnay being on this label. It matters if you’re close to the coast, or up in the mountains, and with a grape like Chardonnay, cooler, higher elevation sites are best. A third of the wine is barrel-fermented - the rest is in stainless steel, with enough lees-stirring to fatten up the wine and round it out.

Belleplane Red
When it comes to red grapes, there are many in the Languedoc-Roussillon, an area that encompasses almost the entirety of Mediterranean France. But there are a few pockets of an unusual grape called Alicante Bouschet, one of only a handful of grapes that actually has colored juice (as opposed to the color coming from the skins). With 70% Alicante and 30% Syrah, and a half year or so in barrel, this wine is powerful, dense and chewy.

Benieres Chardonnay
The vast vineyards of France’s Languedoc hold many well-known grapes, including Chardonnay that is friendly and accessible. This one is gathered from organic vineyards on the Aspères plateau with its excellent marl and limestone soils. The winemaking is straightforward – stainless steel fermenters and just enough lees stirring to enrich the texture and flavors. We love finding wines like this!

Benieres Pinot Noir
Fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the Pays d'Oc, a region warm enough and varied enough to allow even persnickety Pinot Noir to find its happy place.

Bernard Chamfort Plan de Dieu
Why is this place called God’s Plan? Isn’t that a bit presumptuous? The name harks back to the Middle Ages, when walking this bandit-infested forest was like committing your fate to God. But now it’s mostly vines on clay and alluvial pebbles. But like its neighboring Côtes du Rhone Villages, Plan de Dieu’s reds are made more complex by the regional garrigue, the aromatic, Mediterranean flora, particularly bay, thyme and lavender.

Bernardins Beaumes de Venise
It might seem like French wine is a fixed thing but it’s ever changing. Beaumes de Venise, as an example, where the name once meant one of the most delicious sweet wines of Europe. But with the changes wrought by the fashion and climate change, there are lots of intense red wines being made in this hilly region nearby the more famed Gigondas AOP. Think of Beaumes de Venise as bargain Gigondas. Or really, really bargain Chateaneuf-du-Pape.

Blackbird Arise
While not everyone shows as much enthusiasm as we do (and they’re just plain wrong), we strongly believe that Blackbird Vineyards makes utterly delicious wines. This is the so-called entry point red but it’s far more serious and successful than many others’ top wine: 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. Contains plenty of vivid life for your cellaring or just a delightfully marbled chunk of meat. Plummy and layered, let this be your introduction to Blackbird wines for years to come.

Bleu Blanc Thau
This blend of Picpoul,Terret, and Colombard is so tasty, so refreshingly crisp (but still weighty enough to matter) and, dare we say it, a freaking value that it practically crawled into our bag and said take me home the first time we tasted it.

Bonnet Hill Cabernet Sauvignon
Lake County lies just to the north of Napa, and while it shares none of the fame of its southern sibling, it’s a sleeper region for Cabernet. That might be why Napa legend Andy Beckstoffer started investing in the region, purchasing a 1,200-acre vineyard that he calls Amber Knolls in the Red Hills AVA. That’s where this comes from and, if it’s good enough for Andy Beckstoffer, Napa’s most important wine grower, then it’s good enough for us too.

Bonterra McNab Cabernet
Bonterra is the OG of organic vineyard people; they have been pushing organic viticulture since before most other vintners were born. They’ve gotten good at growing grapes that way because they’re very likely the largest producer of organic grapes in the US, though don’t quote us on that. McNab Ranch is one of the original Biodynamic vineyards planted in the United States, so it's is a foundational example of what Bonterra has been all about.
