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.

Calatroni Sangue Di Giuda
“Judas’ blood” (Sangue di Giuda) is a decidedly provocative name for a wine. The more distinct character is of a wine with a bit of bubbles, alongside a powerfully fruity if tart content, all wrapped up in a semi-sweet finish. The alcohol level is low, so feel free to offer this as a porch pounder at a party with charcuterie, dried fruits, brownies and even a few women of habits. Hey, we’re not judging your parties.

Care Nativa Blanca
Bodegas Care was founded twenty years ago and has more than 350 acres of vineyards in Cariñena. Most of what is planted in Cariñena is not the grape Cariñena (don’t ask) but Garnacha. Some of it is the white wine version of the grape Garnacha Blanca, which makes a fascinatingly textured and rich white wine, even without oak, as in this stainless-steel iteration.

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.

Castano Hecula
Just because the Castano family thought that they should have many different wines that deserve to be counted among the greatest wine values in the world...
