La Clef du Recit Sancerre Rose
Even if your expectation of Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc, please understand that Pinot Noir is the next most planted grape in the AOC, and that it can be lovely and focused. Anthony Girard has owned this forty-acre plot since 2012 and has quickly garnered justifiable attention for all his wines. We have his 100% Pinot Noir rosé because we want you to enjoy summer the way it was meant to be enjoyed, with something delicious!

Cary Potet Bourgogne
Though this domaine’s claim to fame is Montagny, they have traditionally produced Pinot Noir as well, and the new owners have applied their centuries’ long experience to craft delicate, gentle red Burgundy. They are organic, hand-harvested and the wine sees mostly used oak with long settling in tanks to preserve those delicacies: roses, strawberries, bing cherries and mushrooms.

Giuliano Rosati Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Okay, we’ll admit it, Italian wine is confusing. Montepulciano is a town but it's also a grape not grown in that town. When that grape is grown in the Abruzzo region, it’s rich, plush, fun and juicy as hell. And it’s also not respected enough by the Italians to charge you a lot of money. I think they’re confused too.

Giuliano Rosati Pinot Grigio
Dan Bada & Charlie Trivinia, whose mothers emigrated to the U.S. together from Le Marches, Italy, and lived in the same house for some time. The two were childhood friends and in adulthood they decided to launch a wine import business. They work with winemakers Giuseppe and Luigi Anselmi in the Veneto to create this wine from the Anselmi’s 600-acre estate near the sea.This is traditional Pinot Grigio: stainless steel, fresh and tangy.

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.

Moulin St Jean Reserve
The large and sometimes overlooked (but never under-consumed) Languedoc enjoys southern French weather, more Mediterranean than western European. Winemaker/owner Frédéric Bousquet has vineyards that alternate with the critically aromatic scrubland French vintners call “garrigue”. But while most GSM’s are topped off with Mourvèdre, Bousquet uses a lesser known grape called Marselan, perhaps typical in the area but hardly ever seen on its own.

Philippe Viallet Savoie Blanc
The Viallet family have been working the vineyards of Savoie since 1966, when Marcel and Yvonne purchased their first estate, Domaine Clos Réservé, in Apremont. Their son Philippe studied in Burgundy and then came back to help in 1984, pushing them into biodynamically farming at high altitude in the Savoie. They’ve embraced the local grapes, including the Jacquère grape, which we love for its crazy lemony acidity.

Cape Charles Chardonnay
When it comes to Carneros, it’s the proximity to San Pablo Bay that matters. Every time it heats up in central Napa or even in the Central Valley, the air rises and is replaced by the cold, foggy stuff flowing under and through the Golden Gate Bridge and all along San Pablo Bay. The sun burns it off each morning and grapes that require acidity for balance (like Chardonnay) thrive in it.

Le Cabas Sauvignon Blanc
Gascony ain't just the Three Muskateers, though they have a place in our hearts as well. More than anything, Gascony is foie gras, delicious plums and apricots, rich dinners with Armagnac to follow. But the white grapes grown here are not just for great brandy, they have always been consumed as wine too and the last decade or so has seen an embrace of clean, cold winemaking to preserve the aromas of otherwise neutral grapes like Ugni Blanc or Folle Blanche. It's also seen new plantings of Sauvignon Blanc, a grape that requires no heroic measures to reveal its aromatic riches. Whats fun here is that these same winemaking methods generate something bright and vibrant but without much resemblance to other such Sauvignon Blancs (I'm looking at you, New Zealand), many of which have begun to seem like self-caricature. This one is comfortably itself, needing only an ice bucket and a big glass.

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.
