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.

Cary Potet Montagny
Cary Potet is an ideal example of hidden Burgundy; the label disappeared after being imported by a small producer for years. Some importers were adept scroungers of the French retail shelves and years later they spotted the Cary Potet label. These folks, the Desfontaine family, have been making wine for 12 generations and their family motto is ‘Ex Nihilo Nihil’: nothing comes from nothing. But from hard work, delicious wine can be coaxed from the old stones.

Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir
Chehalem has been skillfully crafting Pinot Noirs that straddle the line between friendly and fruity, and toasty and extracted, for years, and they continue to do so as well as any of the best.

Clandestin Les Semblables
This is unusual stuff: 100% Pinot Noir Champagne that is hand harvested, undergoes natural yeast fermentation with carbonic maceration, and is aged in French oak barrels. This is the first release of this new cuvee; it’s from far cooler sites than most Pinot Noir vineyards and expresses a bright, crunchy, tart character, then it’s bottled with no dosage at all.

Clos Delfines
Albarino is Spain's most successful white wine and Clos Delfines is a benchmark for the style: crisp, green apple, pear and peach skins.

Clos Erasmus Laurel
Laurel is the second wine of famed winery Clos Erasmus. Erasmus is amongst the most intense wines the Priorat region offers, but owner Daphne Glorian crafts wines of unabashed vibrancy and generosity, with impeccable balance.

Dipinti Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio just the way you ordered it: light, fruity and refreshing.

Dme Grand Montmirail Deux Juliettes
Heady Grenache and elegant Pinot may seem as far from each other as Moscow and Memphis. But Denis Cheron of Montmirail had just moved from Burgundy and created a co-op in the Rhone in the 60s. He handled a lot of estates’ wines but felt something special was happening at Montmirail. When the owner decided to sell, he offered it first to Cheron who he felt had so improved his wines. It’s a remarkable spot, with vineyards at 1200 feet, among the highest in Gigondas.

Domaine de Ballade
You know the Gascony region from some Three Musketeers movie (or comic book or even real live actual book) but we geeks know it for one of the world’s greatest spirits, Armagnac. Still not all the vines in the area are meant for brandy; an increasing number are giving us tangy, lip-smacking wine from Sauvignon Blanc and Colombard grapes.

Domaine La Garrigue Vacqueyras
As delicious and special as the wines are, my love of Domaine la Garrigue is based as much upon my memory of the place as it is upon the character of the wine they produce. The Bernard family who own La Garrigue also own the beautiful inn and restaurant Les Florets, one of my favorite spots in that glorious region. Oh, yeah, the wine rocks.
