	04 Coume del Mas Schiste, Coullioure, France Straight up and down, there’s no region whose wines excite me as much as what’s coming out of Roussillon. The region is a viticultural archaeology dig: vines have been tended here since before we starting counting forward on the calendar. This Catalan area of France is known... $17 Browse our entire selection of French Red others

03 Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyards Durif, McDowell Valley Vineyard, Mendocino, CA
Jeff Emery’s power-packed Durif reminds us of one our biggest and burliest red wine favorites. Could it be that the big dusty tannins, monster fruit and megavolt styling of this barbecue beast could be traveling under an assumed name? To the contrary, my friend…Durif is the authentic name...

01 Fanucchi Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel, Russian River Vallley, Sonoma, CA
Peter Fannuchi grows, makes, and sells very good Zinfandel from his Forestville vineyard. His bottle takes a few years to unwind, at which point it tastes awesome. Lucky us. Fog fruit taste of blueberries, smoky cocoa puff kind of stuff, unknown Sybaritic spices, on a well shaped Zin physique. Until...

06 Elena Walch Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige, Italy
Much like Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio has become somewhat unfashionable in recent times. Ever unafraid to flout the wine hegemony, I’ve selected a sublime Pinot Grigio perfumed with peachfuzz and rosewater. Elena Walch is an outright master (mistress?) of Italian whites and this beauty is a stone-driven synthesis of...

	06 Edmunds St. John Pinot Gris, "Witters Vineyard", El Dorado County, CA A fleshy pear and nut-scented wine from grapes grown at 2000+ ft. elevation in El Dorado County. It even feels good. Perfect ripeness. Crunchy. Salmon run stuff.... $17 Browse our entire selection of Aromatic Whites

04 Bollig-Lehnert Riesling Kabinett, Trittenheimer Apotheke, Mosel, Germany
Granny Smith would be proud. The tart, green, tangy sweetness of her namesake apples has inspired generations of Mosel vintners. A wine at once both gossamer and electric, Mosel Kabinett can be downright addictive when its done right. Stefan Bollig’s stylish 04’s may be among the last...

05 Tertre du Lunay Blanc, Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France
Word gets around about a wine like Entre-deux-Mers blanc. Coral reefs are abandoned as shellfish pack up and split town. Cows go on strike due to ridiculous demand for cheese. Frogs everywhere get price quotes on wheelchairs. Because of Entre-deux-Mers terrifying tastiness, food matches around...

	04 Giachino Abymes, Savoie, France For thirsty moments when talk arises of biodynamic methods as it pertains to old vine Jacquere. Don’t take it too seriously. A few granny smiths drizzled in lime with honey. Tart and hunger startin’ Put your party on ‘Chino, the fried chicken is caliente.... $8 Browse our entire selection of French White other

05 Suavia Soave Classico, Italy
What makes Suavia Soave taste so good? The four beautiful Tessari daughters carefully harvest grapes, ride tractors man the destemmers and pose for photographs in airy sundresses and low-cut tops. Their carefree and fashion-forward attitude towards viticulture delivers results. Even though it’s more likely that the unique...

06 Girasole Pinot Noir, Mendocino, CA
Charlie Barra farms 150 acres of certified organic vineyards north of the Russian River. For 50+ years, his grapevines have been cultivated without use of chemical or industrial “assistance.” Here’s a fruit-forward, soft Pinot that scores high on our personal yum-scales. Ripe strawberry and cherry flavors and...

	05 Domaine de la Soucherie Anjou, Loire Valley, France This just sounds like it should taste good. And it does. Juicy and herby, it's Cabernet Franc. Really tasty. Natural, as pulpy as it is pimpy. Find something to pair with its roasted bell smell...perhaps some Franc on Flank friendliness? This is a sharp wine to drink on... $16.5 Browse our entire selection of French Red others

	02 Cantele Salice Salentino Reserva, Puglia, Italy We drank Puglian wine and ate decidedly Berkeley slices of pizza with Gianni Cantele a few years ago. His Pugliese wines are modern though politely local in name. Released under the spell of five years growth, this Salice Salentino tastes anything but chewy. Silky plums and sexy leather. In the... $11 Browse our entire selection of Italian Reds
