2025 Wine

Organic/Bio Lower ABV While Pinot Grigio tends to steal all the attention in Alto Adige, Pinot Bianco is arguably the better grape for the slopes of the Dolomites. Alois Lageder crafts an all-steel classic here. Yellow apple,... Read More

Organic/Bio One of the best things about Monestrell is how it can develop really ripe fruit flavors without turning sweet or fruity. Like here in this cheerful Jumilla, Spain, example from younger vines and done all in tank. It’s... Read More

Lower ABV An ENORMOUS amount of wine for the money here, in 100% Malbec grown carefully at high altitude and then made in steel to let the grape and place shine through. Black-fruited on the nose and palate with fine complexity... Read More

Lower ABV Always a zesty, exuberant, take on New Zealand Sauvignon, this vintage is especially expressive. As Wine Advocate says in the 93 point review, it's herbaceous, crunchy, concentrated and chalky, with layers of saline... Read More

Lower ABV Pretty much exactly what you’d want to drink with seafood and sunset on the Greek Island of Evia. Blending salty Assyrtiko with fragrant Viognier, it serves up generous aromas of white peach and apricot and a burst... Read More

Lower ABV This is classic Albarino from the seaside region of Ribadumía in the heart of the Salnés valley, bounded on two sides by cold Atlantic Ocean water flowing inland through the estuaries – or “Rias”... Read More

Lower ABV Wow, is it ever a delight to taste a really classic Muscadet like this one! Crushed rock, leesy/salty minerality, and dollops of crunchy green apple and pear that start and finish with some lemon/lime bite while staying... Read More

From the south of France, this is easy-drinking Pinot Noir that will satisfy at table as well as just sipping with a crowd. Dark black and Bing cherry fruit show on the nose and palate with a fine juiciness that lifts the flavor... Read More

Lower ABV From just south of the city of Bordeaux, this is classic white Graves built for seafood, salads and sipping. It's 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon done in steel. Fresh yellow and orange citrus and green apple... Read More

Organic/Bio The 95 point 2024 edition was very good; this is better. It's a blend of 35% each Grenache Blanc and Roussanne with 15% each Bourboulenc and Clairette aged in 40% new French oak, 40% older barrels, and 20% concrete.... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV The young, petit, Ch du Grand Bos winemaker Lou Rochet is a woman who packs a punch - in personality, exuberance and talent. And her Cab/Merlot blend rosé is loaded with personality and exuberance,... Read More

Organic/Bio Yes, there's more to Provence than pink wine. In fact, once you taste this, you may never think of Cotes de Provence exactly the same again! It's a 50/50 Grenache/Syrah blend that delivers big blackberry fruit... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV An exceptionally fresh and energetic Provencal pink built on organically grown Grenache and Cinsault plus splashes of Syrah and Ugni Blanc (Vermentino). On the nose and palate, delivers bold notes of crunchy... Read More

Organic/Bio Gilles Pons and his team just keep improving the quality of what is already the best Provençal rosé we know of. By thoughtful pruning and meticulous organic farming, he manages to pick Grenache and Cinsault... Read More

Lower ABV Chased out of post-phylloxera vineyards by higher-yielding Trebbiano, Pecorino was thought to be extinct until a few very old vines were discovered in the mid-1980s. Today it's arguably the flagship white of Italy's... Read More

Lower ABV The kind of excellent value in all-purpose, clean, fresh, and delicious Pinot Grigio that's getting harder and harder to find. Importer Lia Tolaini-Banville sources fruit from across the Veneto and ferments it cool... Read More

Lower ABV Samso in most commonly seen at the Catalan name for Carignan. Since the 1880s, Dom Cazes has been most famous for their sweet, timeless, Rivesaltes. This is neither, a dangerously drinkable and dry 100% Cinsault that's... Read More

Lower ABV Importer Ed Addiss had been trying to get an allocation of this tiny production Loire Valley white from Switzerland's Chasselas grape for years. Doug and Bryan fawning over it at WineParis in early 2026 finally unlocked... Read More

Organic/Bio The little village of Visan in the middle of the Cotes du Rhone always seems to give wines with a sleek fruit and a hint of something we might call “ink” (but in a good way – really!). The blend of... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV A cheerful, fresh, southern Rhone rose value courtesy of...Caladoc! This crossing of Grenache and Malbec created in 1958 gives bold fruit, soft tannins and a smidge of cherry color to this pretty pink, perfectly... Read More

Lower ABV Think of Coteaux du Giennois as the front door to Sancerre (technically the “back door” since it’s down river, but that doesn’t sound nearly as good!). The limestone soils here were given over... Read More

Lower ABV Very much a spring in a bottle experience here in this 65% Pinot Noir, 35 Gamay, rose where 75% of the grapes ferment on the skins and 25% as pressed juice. Big aromas with zip and zing to the scents of spring flowers,... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV A pretty fabulous example of our favorite style of Southern Rhone white, one where Clairette plays a leading role. When grown in warm (not too hot) locations – say the vineyards on the edges of Rasteau’s... Read More

Lower ABV This white from Savoie in the French Alps made from Jacquere (don't worry, no one else has heard of it either!) is the perfect springtime white. And a delightfully refreshing summer white. And a satisfying companion... Read More
