This Southern Rhone stunner comes from Saint-Montan, halfway between Cornas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wine is smoothe and velvety with just enough weight to pair with a burger. This wine is a crowd-pleaser.
Organic farming practices and native yeast fermentation.
Sancerre rouge is kind of like the forgotten child. The region is famous for its crisp, aromatic whites, but Lucien Crochet has quietly been producing some of the best old vine Pinot Noir in the region.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, 22 months in a combo of stainless steel and neutral french oak barrels.
Evening Land Vineyards is the Oregon-based brainchild of Sashi Moorman and Raj Parr, two of California’s most revered winemakers and sommeliers.
There is no hiding the energy of the cool climate Eola-Amity Hills here. Fresh, light-bodied, a flash of spice on the palate adds zip to what is an immensely ‘drinkable now’ wine with a polished and lively finish.
Biodynamic farming practices, LIVE certified, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged 16 months in neutral 228L barrels, only 4,100 bottles produced
Let’s face it, we all love CDP (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), but most of us can’t afford to pull those corks on a daily basis. That is where ‘Vacqueyras’ comes in. It’s swimming in the next lane, with eerily similar characteristics, at a lower price. This is one of my party trick wines (looks pricey and tastes pricier).
Sustainable farming practices, woman-winemaker.
