California Pinot Noir
 
California offers world class Pinot Noir. We adore these precious reds for their class and texture. With prestigious names like Racines, Hirsch, and Rhys in stock, you’re certain to fall in love with these magnificent wonders.
 
New to Cali Pinot? We’re featuring options from prime growing areas, including the AVAs of Sta Rita Hills, Sonoma Coast, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Santa Rita Hills rests within the Central Coast and is mostly planted to our beloved grape. With the cooling influence of the Pacific funneled across the vines by the surrounding hills, the wines offer restraint and elegance with bright acidity.
 
The Sonoma Coast was created in 1987.

Bruna Grimaldi
 
Bruna Grimaldi’s classic, well-structured and delicious wines outperform their modest price tags. The estate dates back to the 1990s, when Bruna (along with her husband, Franco Fiorino) began bottling her own wine. This decision came after decades selling off the exceptional fruit and bulk wine before eventually selling small amounts locally. As the word got out and international interest poured in, the wines have only improved.
 
Their Barolos are the ultimate values. The wines tend to be fairly solid, built primarily for the cellar, but with an early opening that makes them enjoyable in the near term. The Camilla is a blend of multiple sites, mostly from the ridgelines to the north of La Morra.

Foradori
 
Elisabetta Foradori’s wines occupy a singular place in the world of wine. She is an icon of biodynamics and the natural wine movement. And her wines are classic and pure.
 
Her trailblazing curiosity has led her down a number of different (now trendy) roads long before anyone else in her region, including the use of amphora, a return to the traditional pergola trellis, and an emphasis on polycultural farming practices.
 
Foradori has championed the use of indigenous grapes such as Teroldego, with the help of massale selection, bringing the grape back to its former glory by undoing centuries of poor clonal selection. This approach has enhanced the quality of the wines and ensured the preservation of the local ecosystem for generations to come.

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges, Loire 2024 750ml $24 special, 11 bottles in stock now
Winemaker Note “This is Loire Cabernet in its purest form, low in alcohol but high in perfume, which the Baudrys harness through low-intervention techniques like aging only in concrete and bottling unfiltered with barely any sulfur. That suave, silky texture is a delight when it swishes over the palate, especially when matched to a simple meal from fresh ingredients.
