Easily one of the most special sites for Cinsault, from anywhere.

It’s striking how quickly certain places in the wine world come into focus. Baden Pinot Noir has long had its devotees, but Wasenhaus reimagined the region's pedigree and introduced it to a new generation of wine lovers.

A rare new entry to our Montalcino section, Le Ripi's unique biodynamic work spans two specific, and very different, zones in the appellation. And, unlike most here, they eschew blending their fruit into larger cuvées in favor of bottling each wine based on where the vines come from.

With Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen — grandson of founder Thompson Willett — Chris tasted across mash bills and distillation lots, narrowing to a barrel that shows how profound barrel-proof bourbon can be. He returned not only with this extraordinary whiskey, but also with a deeper sense of Willett’s family legacy and their patient, exacting craft.

Seeing multiple Grand Cru villages from multiple valleys, all under one roof, is rare in Champagne. And it’s far rarer (and more exciting) from a tiny grower, especially one farming organically and leaning on native fermentations to make site-specific wines.

With their unique, untapped (and very rainforest-adjacent) location, it's a new lens on Australian Chardonnay that we simply can't put down.

From one of the most respected names in Etna, Salvo Foti: Extremely old vines, planted very densely (~10K per hectare!). And in the cellar, the work is intensely old school, using a Palmento...

Two exciting new cuvées just landed from Champagne's bon vivant: Vincent Laval. We got to get up close on a visit to his vines and winery (and eventual fête at his house) and have all the details for you.

A benchmark of Spanish natural wine, Penedès' Partida Creus has returned to its roots: a personal, incredibly focused (and once again, estate-grown) approach to native varieties.

From one of Piedmont's newest DOCGs, Nizza: the range is wildly pure, achingly Piedmontese, and delicious. And, with the very top wines, incisive and powerful in ways only the very best bottles are.

A truly family operation with a stunning, unique midpoint between the aromas of Vittoria and the power and texture of Etna.

From family vines on the edge of Serralunga, Alessandro Salvano's Drink Wines Not Labels is a fascinating entry: everything is whole cluster, everything is macerated (yes, even the Chardonnay). Yet everything is still so Piedmontese...

The Marinos grow 7.5 hectares (mostly focused on local Catarratto and Nero d'Avola), but keep up this tiny parcel of Syrah for the sole purpose of making this Rosato. Why? Because it's delicious, that's why.

Some of Burgenland's most thoughtful biodynamic farming and an extremely skilled set of hands in the cellar that remind us: wine is a form of artistic expression.

Located in the Aube, but technically classified in the Côte d'Or; Molesme truly rides the line between Burgundy and Champagne. Making both tremendous still and sparkling wines, it seems to orbit both worlds – at a fraction of the price.

A newer project from older grapes, with a revered California vineyard (and name) behind it – it's no surprise the wines are solid. Oh, and it's Santa Cruz. We're digging in!

 Fresh off another eye-opening visit to Portugal, we're digging in to the regenerative farming and innovation that have made Folias de Baco a benchmark of Portuguese natural wine.

A beautiful representation of true Willamette Pinot, this is a biodynamic bottle that flexes on the table all year long (for $35!).

Pauline is preserving the future of Champagne, through the lens of one plot, one grape, one vintage.

More than twenty years after he started his seminal work, Arribas brings the same ethos to his newest project in the cooler, northern reaches of Priorat.

A stunning region defined by soaring mountaintops and lush green valleys. Add a wild patchwork of soil types, and you’ve got a region that yields wines of both lift and power.

From old heritage vines in Valle de Calingasta, the lineup from El Montañista is made thoughtfully; and drinks joyfully. All for $26 ;)

As a biodynamic consultant for around 200 wineries in the area, it’s likely that no one knows Baden’s parcels in the depth that Jakob does.

What do you get when an amateur paleontologist hand-digs a 300m deep chalk cave? 45 million year old forearm-length shells, and one of the most stirring Champagne entries to the US market.

The biodynamic freshie we crack every year: bright, *yummy* Teroldego & friends from the queen of the Dolomites 👑

Heritage sites, made by heritage people! Matt Nelsen's work as a writer and filmmaker intersects with his family in the wine world, starting with fruit from his brother-in-law at Bedrock Wine Co.

At just 24, Michael’s first vintage release – not just stateside, but ever – has had a buzzy reception on the Spanish mainland. And while he may be young, his centenarian vines (and history) are not. 

With several years of experimentation behind him, the 2023 vintage sees Tino Kuban settled into a clear and confident approach at Maison Glandien—a style that’s serious yet fruit-driven, and offers an accessible entry point into his philosophy without the wait (or cost) of the domaine wines.

The second vintage from one of our most memorable new landings last year, a rare new entry for the mostly at-capacity Brunello zone, with biodynamic vineyards at its highest elevation.

Biodynamic Loire Cab Franc at its most pure and juicy – for just $19.

In the words of his importer Zev Rovine, Romain's wines are “made in the same spirit as his former employer. In other words, light in color and powerful in expression!”

It's the first white wine releaes from Élodie Jaume: a producer breathing new life into the Rhône’s most classic appellations.

A thread we noticed through many of the new arrivals: brand-new cuvées from producers we already love. Some come from longtime favorites expanding their lineups in thoughtful, exciting ways. A few are totally unexpected. And all are worth knowing about.

A reference for Chardonnay in Europe, Austria's Weingut Velich is back in the NY market after a long hiatus.

Pierre's whole lineup is back, but this year we’re turning our attention to a newly introduced part of the range: a set of four site-specific Aligotés that are as delicious as they are diverse.

This week marked a wild landing: one of the largest and most complete offers ever, from one of the most captivating growers: no one is growing in Champagne like Emilien Feneuil.

Domaine de L’Horizon's 'Mar i Muntanya' Blanc is a tasty, approachable under-$30 bottle we'd drink anytime.

Two new producers – Mixtura and Augalevada – both call Ribeiro home. But their transformative work reaches far beyond the appellation. Stylistically, the wines nod to Jura (with playful use of flor) and Burgundy, offering both elegance and polish. More literally, their sourcing spans the region: to the Galician coast (Salnés!) and into Portugal. 

Craig and Carla Hawkins anchor a new generation of inspired South African winemakers, the product of the ‘Swartland Revolution’: an early aughts movement to produce terroir-driven, natural wines from South Africa.

Philip Lardot, a Finnish-born talent who set his professional course as Ulli Stein’s assistant winemaker, is making stunning wine that recognizes his mentor while signaling the future of the Mosel's most steeply terraced vineyards.
