Bonterra The Roost Chardonnay
Bonterra is as close to an OG among the wineries devoted to sustainability and true regenerative viticulture as any among American wineries. This single vineyard wine comes from a spot nestled between the shore of the upper Russian River and a blue heron nesting site and preserve; hence the name of Blue Heron Ranch. It’s Biodynamically farmed, and shows the sort of tangy cut that’s typical of Mendocino Chardonnay.

Boulee Cordot
Syrah is planted throughout Mediterranean France, and has a strong reputation dating back to the mid-19th century when Bordeaux chateaux would blend a small amount into their wines to improve them. Alicante? It’s one of the rare Teinturier grapes, having red juice as well as red skins and in the right spots it can be powerful and juicy, not just inky. Together they make for a very modern, fascinating, if untraditional, wine.

Bouzons Cotes du Rhone
80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, a very typical blend from the Rhone and, in its way, Domaine des Bouzons’ long history is typical too. The vines are more than a half-century old and are farmed sustainably, in a process the French call lutte raisonée, or the “reasoned struggle.” It’s a fancy term for a system that is deeply respected in European winemaking communities. It’s how things are with wine; nothing is certain or simple; that too is typical.

Brooks Bank Cabernet
This 100% Cabernet is full of dark berry flavors to offset its tough guy tannins. This is BIG wine for little money. It’s basically the wine equivalent to Patrick Swayze in “Roadhouse.” Best movie EVER.

Brunn Gruner Veltliner
The Austrians are both new and ancient with their wines: this is in a liter bottle, it’s all the rage; all the cool kids are going with liters these days. But winemaker Karl Steinschaden and his family are also focused on tradition, harvesting solely by hand from old estate vines with low yields, doing only native ferments. A few months in large Slovenian oak vats and you have bracing crisp, clean and absurdly drinkable Grüner.

Brunn Zweigelt Rose
Karl and Godfried Steinschaden’s family has lived and farmed the land in Engabrunn for six generations. With traditional practices in the winery, and organic farming, they are all about how the past can inform the present. They own the oldest traditional basket press in this region, dating back to 1564 A.D. but now is used in this crafty winery, north of the Danube, in Kamptal, to make a charming, pinkish expression of the vibrant Zweigelt grape.

Buffelsfontein Chenin Blanc
Just drink it. Buy it first, please, because that’s the right thing to do and then you can drink it. You will find it pear flavored, textured and refreshing, even though it is also complex and layered, like a serious white wine. Not quite Chardonnay. But I think you get it.

Ca' del Baio Langhe Nebbiolo
Stainless steel fermenters, retaining fresh, bright fruit so much so that they recommend you give the wine a slight chill before you drink it. It’s 100% Nebbiolo so don’t chill it too much; it will make those burly Nebbiolo tannins get pretty jangly. But the Grasso family has four generations of experience with the grape, and own 70 acres of prime Barbaresco vineyards.

Cabasse ' Les Deux Anges'
Comprised of Grenache and Syrah, these are wines that represent the ever improving fortunes of the southern Rhone Valley, and with every year, they creep closer and closer to the character and style of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, only at much more affordable prices.
Type, Body & Flavor
Cabasse Les Pialons
There’s nothing typical about this blend of Grenache and Merlot. Southern France is awash in unusual choices. This part of the Mediterranean Coast can grow just about any grape; sure, it’s true that Merlot isn’t going to be at all like its Bordeaux-based versions when grown along the warm and sunny coast. But blending it with Grenache gives that generous and easy grape a bit of class and Bordelais breed.
