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.

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.

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.

Canteperdrix Anthologie Vacqueyras
Anthologie Vacqueyras an expression of Grenache and Syrah from one of the first villages within the Cotes du Rhone Villages to be labeled on its own (Gigondas was the first). Like other areas of the eastern side of the southern Rhone, Mount Ventoux looms large above it and allows cooler air to drain towards the valley (and Vacqueyras) below. But Vacqueyras is closer in resemblance to the rich decadence of Gigondas.

Canteperdrix Vim Solis
Vinsobres is a red wine only appellation that sees a more diverse set of soils than most of the other Rhone AOCs. The usual intense Mistral wind is accompanied by a cooler, gentler Pontias wind, making this one of the cooler sites of the southern Rhone. The wines have a bit more nerve: think of cranberry instead of black cherry, more tangy Grenache than rich, robust Syrah.

Cape Charles Cabernet
Easily our most popular product the last 3 years has been Cape Charles Cabernet. A label developed with Baron Ziegler (he’s a big deal) to take advantage of the high end bulk wine market, the results have been unreal. The label itself was lent to the project by artist Peter Curling (he’s also a big deal) We started with Kamen Moon Mountain juice which sold out in just a few weeks. We then doubled down with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Leonetti in Washington State. After the Leonetti success we told Baron the next one had to be huge…and he delivered. This 100% Cassata Vineyard Cabernet is the best wine he’s released yet, and I’m not sure it’s even close. As for prices - you’ll find Cassata Vineyard Cabernet anywhere from $53 to $105 per bottle. As far as I can tell, NEVER has this vineyard ever had wine in the 21st century that has been priced under $25.00.

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.

Cape Charles Sauvignon Blanc
After killing it with the AVERÆN project in Oregon, the Banshee gang is hard at work again in France. They’ve grabbed some vineyards in Gascony and we’re smart enough to snag some of their early efforts. There’s a lot of Sauvignon Blanc grown in these spots, but what these guys excel at are wines like this one: poised, more bright melon and citrus - just the way it should be.

Carmita
Centuries ago the DO of Almansa produced high quality wines, albeit at that time they were sweet ones. The locals used Alicante Bouschet, but today they call it Garnacha Tintorera, and for the most part all the producers have nixed the sweet part of the equation. In the case of Carmita,Bodegas Lo Nuevo mixes the Garnacha with 30% Monastrell to make this wickedly powerful red wine.
