Histoire De Grains Marselan
Throughout the expansive Roussillon-Languedoc are some of the more adventurous French grapes with which you might not be familiar – Marselan is at the top of the heap. It’s a crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, far lighter than Cabernet but with some of its strengths and backbone. Bordeaux has just recently chosen it as a newly approved grape there, which is no small feat!

Julien de L'Embisque Delice de Viognier
Started by a family from Bordeaux, where their ancestors were making wine in the 1830s. The next generation moved to southern France. Farming was part of their heritage too and by 1972 the family was growing grapes and making wine again. They’ve since built a very modern winery and this Viognier reflects very light yields and very light extraction to make a more delicate style of Viognier, lighter in alcohol and more refreshing.

Julien de L'Embisque Suze la Rousse
Domaine Julien de l'Embisque, which has been organically farmed for many years, owns a diversity of terroirs throughout the southern Rhône Valley. They grow most of the diverse grape varieties of the valley too: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Marselan and a little known grape called Couston for the reds. This rich wine is built from 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Carignan.

Ken Wright Pinot Noir
Ken Wright’s single vineyard bottlings are among the most sought-after American Pinot Noirs. As important as those early wines were in establishing his reputation and that of the Willamette, his work today is light years ahead of those wines in both character and longevity. The Willamette bottling is, in some ways, the culmination of all that he has learned about Oregon viticulture.

Kingstree Cabernet
This is a tasty little gem unearthed by the pros at Banshee Wines. Banshee, started by three guys who just happened to like wine and wanted an excuse to be out west, hasn't been around long but they sure have kicked off righteously during their short career. They’ve always been focused upon cooler climate sites, especially with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and at the prices they offer their wines, it’s no surprise that things have gone swimmingly well.

Kingstree Chardonnay
When it comes to Santa Barbara, we will always have to talk about the Sideways effect. I know, Sideways was what put Pinot Noir on the map (and dug an early and undeserving grave for Merlot). But it should have featured California’s Central Coast on that landscape. Santa Barbara was the reason that Pinot Noir was so heralded in that movie and where Pinot Noir grows so too does Chardonnay. Where it thrives, so too does Chardonnay thrive.

Kingstree Proprietary Red
I'll be honest. Wines of this quality at this price are few and far between as vintners continue to try and stretch their prices further and further. It's a big and bold red from your friends at Pavilion...these guys know what they are doing!

La Cabane aux Oiseaux Sauvignon Blanc
A Bordeaux group making wines since 1949, Producta Vignobles blends this crisp, tangy white from throughout the Bordeaux region, but especially from under-appreciated places like Bergerac. From Sauvignon Blanc with a trace of Semillon, this is the kind of steely, refreshing white wine that comprises a small but significant portion of what has made Bordeaux the centerpiece of French wine production. Drink this well-chilled and with rapidity.

La Clef du Recit Menetou Salon
While the estate has been around for decades, Le Clef du Recit is newly helmed by Anthony Girard, whose family are well-known as Loire Valley vintners. His brother runs the family biz and young Anthony had a chance to buy some sweet, sweet soil. What is sweet soil in Sancerre? Think Terres Blanches, meaning white earth, or a lot of fractured limestone. The fancy wine people call it Kimmeridgian marl, which maybe you’ve heard about. If not, no worries. It’s near the town of Récy, so the “key” (clef) to the “story” (Récit) is that the land and exposure are ideal for unlocking the character of nervy, mineral laden Sauvignon Blanc, happy to be in such a special place.

La Croix des Orbinieres Sauvignon Blanc
This sweet little vineyard is located in the Loire Valley, halfway between the famous mansions, Chateau Chambord and Chateau Chenonceaux. Most of the vines are a quarter-century old, on clay and silt soils, locally called “sables de Sologne”; Sologne used to be Louis XIII’s hunting grounds, but Sauvignon Blanc is more planted in the region than hunting blinds today.
