Chateau le Puy
 
Chateau le Puy is a Merlot whisperer. From the high plateau where also sits Saint Emilion and Pomerol is this noble estate. The clay, silex, and limestone of their soils as well as the unusually high elevation for Bordeaux results in elegant and restrained Merlot-based epics. We love the lighter-than-typical body and balancing acidity, making this wine perfect for lighter fare and long, coastal sunsets.

Burklin Wolf on Sale Now 10-26-25

“…this may well be the best and most consistent producer of great dry Riesling in the world.” –Joel Payne, Vinous
 
Dry Riesling Master

ON SALE NOW!
 


Few estates capture the depth and elegance of dry Riesling quite like Dr. Bürklin-Wolf. Nestled in the sun-soaked hills of the Pfalz, this historic German winery has been perfecting the art of Riesling since 1597. Over four centuries later, the estate remains family-owned and proudly independent, now led by Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, who has turned it into one of the world’s benchmarks for terroir-driven, biodynamic wine.

The Bürklin-Wolf estate sits in Wachenheim, a village long prized for its gently sloping vineyards and warm, dry climate. That sunshine — more similar to Alsace than the cooler Mosel — gives their Rieslings a fuller body and riper fruit, while preserving the signature German precision and minerality.

A Champagne Native Turned Walla Walla Whisperer

Cayuse
 
If you find yourself in Eastern Oregon, you might be surprised to find one of the hottest cult winemakers of Walla Walla: Christophe Baron. This Champagnois-turned-Oregonian is the man behind some of Walla Walla Valley’s finest wines that are nearly impossible to source.
 
Though mostly associated with Washington state, a quirk in geography means the bottom smidge of this Valley is in Oregon. That smidge contains a subregion of the Valley: The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. And Baron more or less put it on the map.
 
His Walla Walla portfolio now includes Grenache, Syrah, Tempranillo, and more sourced from Oregon and Washington (don’t worry, we’re placing all his wines on sale).

Hundred Suns:
 
Both Renée Saint-Amour and Grant Coulter were raised to appreciate Oregon wines, despite hailing from out of state. Their mutual interest and love of adventure brought them to the Valley. This wife-and-husband team launched Hundred Suns as a boutique winery and eventually scrapped together enough cash to purchase Breaker Vineyard, a fifty-year-old site in the Eola-Amity Hills and now home to them, their kids, and their winery.
 
They do everything by hand, from crafting their wines (Grant was the winemaker at Beaux Freres and Flâneur), distributing in town, and even their stunning label-design. Their wines drink like a love letter to the Willamette Valley.
