100% dry-farmed Syrah grapes were sourced from a single vineyard, “Les Planels” La Livinière. The fruit was hand-harvested, destemmed and fermented for 8 days in concrete and wood open-top foudres. The wine benefitted from an extended maceration with pump-over for 4 weeks, before being basket-pressed. The finished wine saw no aging and was stabilized and filtered before immediate bottling with no added sulfites. The color is deep purple. The nose is delicate with aromas of black fruit and a touch of earthiness. The palate is beautifully concentrated and earthy, with flavors of blackberry, cassis and a hint of garrigue. The finish is lush, languid, with a wonderful spice note.

From the winery: Filled with zest and juiciness, Barbera satisfies much of northern Italy's thirst for a delicious daily drinker. After fermentation in large-format oak casks and stainless steel, ours ages for a few brief months before early spring bottling.

From the producer: Likely the most “Outré Vin” in the lineup, a vinous Californian pastiche inspired by our reverence of the wines of the French Alps - Trousseau Noir, Poulsard, Gamay Noir, and yes (untraditionally) some old vine Valdiguié as well.

Steve Matthiasson just has a knack for crafting clean, cool wines with lots of personality at very reasonable price points given their excellent quality. This is a Chardonnay drinker's Chardonnay that will equally appeal to fans of lighter bodied and crisp whites.

Its complexity, its great vinosity and the surprisingly fresh finish is particularly appreciated by the most informed wine lovers. The Blanc de Blancs features 100% Chardonnay from Grands Crus de villages de la Côte des Blancs : Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, & Mesnil-sur-Oge. Notes of warm bread, lemon cream & crisp green apple on the nose. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and very elegant, with a lovely core of fruit, refined mousse and excellent length and grip on the well-balanced, youthful and classy finish.

Pinot Grigio is a fairly misunderstood grape in America owing to the many watered down, mass-produced versions that have infiltrated our grocery stores and chain restaurants since the 1980’s. While the grape has unfortunately become synonymous with simplicity, this lovely, expressive style from Cantina Valle Isarco in Alto Adige is far from bland. The grapes for this wine were delicately crushed, and then fermented on lees in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, which resulted in an exciting and vibrant white wine.

What strikes you when you first experience Burgundy from Michel Ecard is the undeniable sensation that this is the sort of Burgundian Pinot Noir for which you’ve been searching all along. The wines are upfront and honest, captivating and convincing — truly how handmade, small-batch Burgundy should be. There are few other Burgundy villages that consistently offer such quality-for-value like Savigny-lès-Beaune, and few winemakers in this village that deliver such quality every vintage like Michel Ecard. His well-balanced wines are not only deliciously complex but also age beautifully, a rare trait for Burgundy so reasonably priced.

While enjoying their midday lunch they saw a murder of crows dancing around the straws, which made them laugh. Yet, when they looked again, the crows and the straws were gone. The family learned two things that day: be wary of dancing crows, and what to name their vineyard ;>).
