“Given the crystalline purity of his Sauvignon Blancs, [Gerard Boulay] has become one of my favorite producers of the central Loire. If you want to know what true Sancerre tastes like, try one of his single-vineyard bottlings. It does not come any better!” – Joel Payne, Vinous

Love French Sauvignon Blanc? So do we! We offer a wide selection from some of our favorite growers, including Gerard Boulay.
 
Gerard Boulay makes some of the best aromatic white wines in France from his vineyards in Chavignol.  This town is the true 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.

Pierre Bouree et Fils might not be a household name in the USA, but it is one of the many historic producers headquartered in the venerable village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The estate dates back to the mid-19th century. More recently, Pierre Bouree has grown its profile through shrewd purchases, including the acquisition of Clos de la Justice (a monopole), as well as a small plot within the Premier Cru vineyard Les Champeaux.
 
Currently run by Brothers Bernard and Jean-Christophe Vallet, intervention in the vineyard is limited to pruning in the spring and organic compost for fertilizer. Just like their cult neighbor Domaine Dujac, the reds are vinified entirely with whole clusters in foudre and raised in oak for two years.

We love how excited sommeliers and Austrian wine fans get when they see our selections. Outside of liter bottles of lightly sparkling GVs (which are delicious), there’s not a lot of serious Austrian wines that make it to American shelves.

That’s why it seems shocking to point out that Austrian winemakers produce some of the greatest wines made anywhere in the world. They count among their ranks such luminaries as FX Pichler, Gobelsburg, Nikolaihof, and Brundlmayer.
 
Despite the love of diehard fans, the wines don’t receive the attention they deserve. Were these from France, these biodynamic, single-vineyard, Grand Cru, food-friendly, cellar-worthy, and ridiculously underpriced gems from thousand-year-old wineries would be three times as expensive. These are the best value in luxury whites in the world.

“I’ve written this many times before, but it bears repeating: Produttori del Barbaresco is one of Italy’s ultimate values for your money.” –Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
 
Produttori del Barbaresco:
 
The OG Cult Wine of Portland
 

Produttori del Barbaresco is revered for producing classically-styled Barbaresco and Riservas of uncompromising quality and transparency. You’d be hard-pressed to find such consistent quality and complexity out of such an extensive range of single-vineyard Nebbiolos anywhere else.
 
Oregon was the first state to import the wines, and they’ve been beloved by many for decades. We’ve admired the producer and its director, Aldo Vacca (cousin of the late Renato Vacca of Cantina del Pino), since the shop first opened. We’ve pleased to continue to offer some of Barbaresco’s finest line up.

The German wine region the Pfalz is nestled between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine River. Here, in a veritable oasis of forests and hills, one finds evidence of wine making and consumption dating back to 550 BCE. The region’s conditions make for some of the most interesting and diverse expressions of German wine, with dry Riesling being its crown jewel.
 
It’s an open secret that dry German Riesling is one of the most complex white wines in the world, yet is also one of the most undervalued. There exist today some historic and well-respected producers that can turn heads and hearts without turning your wallet inside-out. One such estate is the innovative Dr.
