And, when you taste the distinctly delicious wines – a low intervention style not afraid of élevage in wood or oxygen – it becomes clear that Béru is a producer without reference.

For the last three vintages, Dostert’s have been some of the most limestone-driven wines to come our way. But, unlike the cellar-worthy Chablis we often compare it to, or the renowned Rieslings from the Mosel’s more prime real estate, these are from a unique grape (Elbling) and place (the Obermosel).

As a sincere ode to her life and impact on his industry, Pierre Morey dedicated a wine to Becky Wasserman, from her favorite grape: Cuvée Becky Aligoté.

Honoring the work with incredible pedigree while at the same time making notable changes, newly-landed Domaine du Gringet is one we can go all in on. Story below.

07/19/24

Stefano Zoli's much anticipated Riserva is a bottle that pushes even our perception of Verdicchio. Hint: if classic Chablis and GG Riesling are your vibe, you will want to check it out...

07/17/24

These are inarguably some of the most soulful, pure-fruited wines in all of Burgundy – a must-try for any devotee of the region’s trailblazers.

07/15/24

Sometimes, it only takes one person to change the industry’s perception of a region.

07/05/24

Interesting, incredibly well made, and (importantly) – crushable.

If there ever was a producer completely and uniquely representative of a place, it’s Sicily's Lamoresca.

06/27/24

The own-rooted site is essential to the story of American wine, and the wines and work being done there right now (by Âmevive's Alice and Topher) are maybe its best yet.

06/25/24

For the first time in a long time, La Porte Saint Jean has released new (entry level!) cuvees. If Dittiere’s intense farming and hands-off approach in the cellar are new to you, we can’t imagine a better time to experience his wines.

06/21/24

The spirits edition of what’s become an increasingly familiar wine story: the rejuvenation of abandoned yet culture-rich land, with heritage varietals, farmed regeneratively – ultimately making a product unique to its place. (In this case, whiskey, brandy and gin.)

06/19/24

Luca Currado and his wife, Elena Penna, sold Vietti and founded a cantina based in Serralunga, with holdings in two of the most prized Barolo crus. Details on their first release.

Some of our favorite new talents are coming from one of California's newest AVAs – the San Luis Obispo (SLO) Coast – including Dunites Wine Co. Plus, more on Bassi vineyard!

06/12/24

Next door to Vouette, one of the Aube's original certified organic estates is changing guard.

06/09/24

(Natural!) Bordeaux landings from two long-time shop faves, and an exciting new entry, have us reflecting on what keeps this region fresh on our minds.

06/07/24

Some of Burgundy’s biggest talents have started expanding east to Jura (and in rare cases, vice versa). With the arrival of brand new growers and cuvées, we decided to show who and how the lines are blurring.

06/05/24

We believe in Verdicchio!

06/01/24

There’s something mythic about Styria, Austria’s southern edge on the border of Slovenia.

Carroll Kemp's Alma Fria captures the true Sonoma Coast like few others.

Catching up with Julian Ludes of Weingut Hermann Ludes, as the '22ers arrive.

05/20/24

Perhaps the most exciting entry to the so-far-baffling Gran Selezione quality level, is Monteraponi’s '19 'Bragantino.'

05/18/24

Julien Cinquand is one of the small-but-somehow-still-growing group of producers who’ve learned from the region’s greats.

05/16/24

...you heard us! Bodega Cerrón’s ‘Stratum’ project is changing the game in Jumilla.

From perhaps the most ambitious group of new producers we’ve seen since opening the store...

04/27/24

There's a set of producers breathing new life into the most classic appellations: Cornas, Châteauneuf, Gigondas.

04/25/24

It's an insanely delicious wine that's only made more unique when you see the price and learn that the wine is almost always 10 years old upon release, despite being bottled as “non-vintage.”

04/23/24

There aren’t many organic growers in Chablis. And, those who do farm this way are tiny: we usually receive bottles (not cases) of De Moor, Thomas Pico, Vocoret. So when we have the chance to showcase an impressive organic grower's whole lineup, we jump. Enter: Domaine de L'Enclos!

04/19/24

Spoiler: it’ll make you think of names like Montevertine, Caparsa and the like; as its piney, red fruited nature is the signature of the best here.

In Italy’s northern town of Gussago, Nicola Gatta is making Italy's finest bubbles.

04/12/24

Every so often a story is simply too good to edit down to the bullet points. That is especially true for our newest Etna producer, Sonia Gambino’s Gustinella. Her winding tale to Sicily's East side is as charming and unexpected as her wines...

04/11/24

Along the Mosel River, Pinot is especially reflective of the valley’s uncanny ability to capture freshness and persistence in its wines.

It's Las Pedreras!
