Your Three-Day Discount on Molitor’s Graach Wines Starts Now
 
Ambition and drive define Markus Molitor and his incredible wines. After 35 years at the helm of the family business, Markus remains one of the most respected winemakers in the world. Let’s explore his estate and his wines from Graach!
 
As a towering figure in the Mosel, with an impressive, modern winery and holdings in almost every important vineyard in the region, Molitor crafts dozens of wines each year. He believes that every single sub-parcel and selective pick should be vinified to its utmost potential. He not only keeps specific vineyard blocks separate, but also vinifies specific passes through the vineyard separately. What results is a somewhat confusing, especially to those unfamiliar with German labeling conventions, but deeply rewarding portfolio of wines to explore.

Peter William Vineyard.

 

Have you caught the Southern Oregon wine buzz yet? Oregon’s Rogue Valley AVA has been quietly building in reputation for years and with wineries like Peter William producing high quality Rhône influenced reds at fantastic prices, it’s primed to explode in popularity.
 
Since 2013, husband and wife team Peter Adesman and Robin Miller have been making their single vineyard focused estate wines in Medford, Oregon. It’s already common knowledge that areas like Milton-Freewater in Eastern Oregon are producing some of the best Rhône varietals outside of the Rhône, now Southern Oregon is finally getting its due, even seeing national recognition in publications like Wine Enthusiast.

Domaine Tempier – Icon of Bandol Sale – 6-10-24

Domaine Tempier:

Icon of Bandol
 
Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now


“Of all of the domaines we represent, no other serves more as our cornerstone, stands more in the defense of terroir, and is more intricately interwoven with our own history, than that of the iconic Peyraud family of Domaine Tempier…. If any wine can be said to have soul, it’s Tempier.” – Kermit Lynch (Importer)
 
Tempier Bandol sign from Kermit LynchDomaine Tempier is Bandol. It is the most famous producer in the region, best known for its mineral-driven and cellar-friendly rosé. The reds, though, are criminally underrated and underappreciated, especially to lovers of bold, full-throttle wines. They represent the pinnacle of Mourvèdre-based blends that could convince even the most die-hard Rhone lovers to expand their horizons, if only one could manage to convince them to try.

Jerome Prevost- The Meunier Man

Jerome really was the one who put Meunier on the map. He had the idea to make a whole meal of Meunier, a grape usually treated as a mere accent in the traditional Champagne assemblage, far behind Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. But Prevost’s tiny parcel was located in the Les Beguines , where Meunier is plentiful, so on top of his renegade spirit, the focus on Meunier was a happy accident for the young Vigneron. He began producing these single vintage, single varietal wines and Voila! …a cult wine was born.
