Ott…..or Ott? You Decide!

  

10% off a half case through Friday!

 
If you’ve ever browsed a wine list and wondered why Ott seems to show up in both Provence and Austria, you’re not alone. Today we’re leaning into the coincidence—and celebrating two estates that share a name but couldn’t be more different in style, terroir, or identity. Think of it as a tale of two Otts: Domaine Ott, masters of refined Mediterranean rosé, and Bernhard Ott, one of Austria’s great voices for Grüner Veltliner. Both produce wines that are refreshing, elegant, and serious—but that’s where the similarities end.

Let’s begin on the sun-soaked coast of Provence, where Domaine Ott has been setting the standard for premium rosé for more than a century. Their estates—Clos Mireille, Château de Selle, and Château Romassan—specialize in texture-driven, mineral-rich rosés that are as architectural as they are effortlessly drinkable.

The Champagnes of Christophe Mignon

 
Christophe Mignon splits the difference in terroir between two vineyards, a cooler site in Le Breuil that contributes acidity and structure, and a chalkier site in Festigny that offers more fruit and concentration. To quote Peter Liem in his excellent book, Champagne, Mignon is a “dedicated and conscientious viticulturalist, yet while much of his work might be interpreted as organic or biodynamic, he refuses to adhere to any standardized systems required for certification.”
 
Under Mignon’s guidance, the wines show dramatic mineral notes with depth and tension. These are true works of art; ones you’ll be pleased to share.

Fèlsina Sale
Australia’s Cult Winery: Standish



Fèlsina Sale
 
Fèlsina is a leader in Chianti’s quality revolution, emphasizing terroir and the expressive potential of Sangiovese with their impressive cuvées. Their wines offer beauty and boldness in their youth with a long track record of rewarding cellar potential. They offer some of the most collectible wines in the appellation but at far more consumer-friendly price points than their peers (Isole e Olena and Castello di Ama’s top Gran Seleziones average well over double Felsina’s Colonia and don’t get us started on Fontalloro, their 100% Sangiovese Toscana IGT). Few producers worldwide can claim to have the consistent quality of Fèlsina. We’re proud to be longtime supporters of their work.
 
The 100% Sangiovese Fontalloro is a Brunello-drinker’s dream, with explosive aromatics and lots of power to back it up.
