The Eyrie Vineyards
 
The Eyrie Vineyards is the original winery of the Dundee Hills. Founded by David Lett in 1965. David selected his location after careful consideration, wanting to prove that cool-climate European varieties could thrive in the United States. He planted the first Pinot Noir vines in the Willamette Valley, a prophetic selection.
 
In 2005, his soft-spoken yet brilliant son, Jason Lett, took over as winemaker and vineyard manager. He explored new varieties, such as Trousseau, without compromising on quality. The winery produces about the same volume it always has, around 9,000 cases annually, keeping the focus on craft and quality. We adore these wines.

Gerard Boulay
 
There’s nothing quite like Sauvignon Blanc from its home in the Loire Valley in France, and Gerard Boulay makes some of the best. His aromatic whites hail from his vineyards in the Sancerre region, specifically the village of Chavignol. This town is the beating heart of Sancerre and home to top names in the region (including Vatan, Cotat, and Boulay). From his parcels in La Grande Côte, Monts Damnés, and Clos Beaujeu, all of his wines ring with terroir and the unique minerality.
 
The wines of Gerard Boulay are exceptionally age-worthy, collectible, and profound: a rare combination in Sauvignon Blanc.

Lafon family team
 

Few names in Burgundy command the same quiet reverence as Dominique Lafon.

Today, through three distinctive labels—Comte Lafon, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, and his personal label Dominique Lafon—he offers a remarkably complete vision of Burgundy, from Côte de Beaune grand crus to the value-rich hills of the Mâconnais.

The flagship estate, Comte Lafon, is centered in Meursault, where Dominique has overseen a quiet revolution—converting the vineyards to biodynamic farming in the 1990s and dialing in a style that marries the power of the terroir with extraordinary precision.

Campania
 
Campania, one of Italy’s oldest wine regions, has been famous for its wines since the Greeks settled it. Located near Naples, there are numerous references to the quality of the wines in Roman writings. Yet despite its history, lauded grape varieties, and world-class wines, it is considered an obscure region today.
 
Campania’s crown jewel is the indigenous red wine grape Aglianico. Though they are aromatically different, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico is a thick-skinned red variety that creates full-bodied wines with rich tannins, ample acidity, and plenty of aging potential. The DOCG region of Taurasi, a subregion of Campania, it’s the place to look for the best examples.
