Organic/Bio There’s something joyfully incongruous about a bearded outdoors guy who wears flannel, farms his vineyard with horses, chickens, sheep, geese and (his own) children, and waxes on passionately about the quality... Read More
If you think this is impressive right now (and it is!), just wait until you give it some time in decanter or a year or two in cellar. Plenty of succulent fruit but also amazing old-vine intensity from a large does of the vineyard's... Read More
One of the longest-running high-quality “value” Pinots we know of. As Robert Parker said of the 2013 edition: An authentic tasting Pinot Noir that sells for a song. Aromas of sweet red and black cherry fruit intermixed... Read More
Brick & Mortar is really a California sparkling house, meaning they grow a lot of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. When Pinot gets a bit too ripe for fizz, it’s perfect for elegant, pure, juicy still wines like this... Read More
The best Bourgogne Rouge in the shop right now, one of the best we’ve found in years, and a terrific value to boot. Caroline Fyot and Alexia Russo worked in luxury products and finance in Paris before deciding to move to... Read More
An outstanding 1er Cru Mercurey that shows the flesh and grip this region is famed for – and the value, too! Caroline Fyot and Alexia Russo worked in luxury products and finance in Paris before deciding to move to Burgundy... Read More
Organic/Bio Christophe Mignon is really a Pinot Meunier specialist but here he crafts 100% Pinot Noir into something pretty spectacular. From organically farmed vines in the Valle de Marne and with nearly six years on the lees,... Read More
Organic/Bio From the sister winery of Radio-Couteau, County Line wines look to deliver that level of style and quality in a more immediately drinkable (and less expensive) format. Fermented in steel and aged in neutral (meaning... Read More
Organic/Bio This is sunshine in a bottle and for winemakers in Burgundy, 2022 came as “a year of relief,” or at least according to the Berthelemot family. There is a freshness about this wine that just makes you get... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV The region is obscure but the wine delicious! Champlitte’s vines grow about halfway between Jura and Champagne, about 1.5 hours drive east from Beaune. Before phylloxera and WWI, the region was big... Read More

A very fine, honest, enjoyable Bourgogne Pinot Noir that definitely doesn't break the bank. It's super fresh right now, almost like a barrel sample, with bright aromas of crushed cherry, raspberry, sweet spice... Read More
Lower ABV Domaine du Salvard has been a working domaine since 1898, through five hardworking generations of the Delaille family. We know them best for their lovely Sauvignon/Chardonnay Cheverny Blanc. And now their Pinot Noir,... Read More
Lower ABV Lighter, fresher and (we think) even more delicious than most Pinot Noir rosés from Sancerre or anywhere else! This is from 30+ year-old vines on flint and limestone made by Fabien and Marie Cirotte, children... Read More
Organic/BioIn the 19th Century, the wines of Chitry were sold as “Chablis” and, even today, most wine grown in Chitry is a very Chablis-like Chardonnay. But warmer slopes and ancient limestone soils bring Pinot Noir... Read More

This 15 acre vineyard was planted in 2001 and purchased by Joe and Pat Campbell in 2009 where they built a home – and a clay tennis court. The east-facing Pommard and Dijon 115 vines give a terrific blend of rich red fruit... Read More
Adam Campbell and team put a lot into their “welcome” Pinot Noir. It’s 100% estate fruit from six different vineyards, fermented in steel with twice daily punchdowns and then given 10 months in not-new French... Read More
Pat and Joe Campbell planted this site in 1985 from Estate Vyd cuttings and named it for the favorite Puccini opera of the folks who sold them the land. Silky and lush are always apt descriptors for La Boheme Pinot Noir's... Read More

Organic/BioLower ABV Winemaker Erin Nucio started his wine exploration here in the DC area before taking a winding path towards working with Rus Raney at Evesham Wood. While making wine with Russ, he launched his own Haden Fig... Read More
Lots to talk about here, starting with the pretty absurd notion of a seven year-old Willamette Pinot Noir being a) the winery’s current release and b) selling for <$20. Willy Gianopulos has been growing Pinot on the Laurelwood... Read More
A unfortunately tiny allocation of a brilliant wine from Gerard Seguin's 0.7 acre plot of 40-50 year old vines growing just uphill from Chambolle's landmark chapel. Pretty is a word we use a lot for first-rate Chambolle,... Read More
