After two extremely difficult vintages in 2016/2017, the delicious wines of Philippe Tessier are now back in stock! Featured here are two new labels for us (in addition to the classic Cheverny wines). From young vine Pineau d’Aunis, Chemin Noir really jumps out amidst the whole lineup. Really interesting citrus and white pepper notes made in a super light style making it perfect as a chilled Summer red. And of course the Rosé is 🤤#cheverny #welcomeback #philippetessier

North meets South with this 100% Sauvignon Gris from tiny organic 1/2 hectare plot near the town of Clisson in the Western Loire Valley. Typically grown several hundred miles down the Atlantic coast, the Perraud brothers of Domaine des Cognettes produce this Sauvignon Gris in a bit more fresh style, abounding with notes of tropical fruits and a superb length on the palate. “Dingue de Toi” or “Crazy About You” is Vincent’s label of love for his amazing wife, Isabelle (pictured) 😍The value of this, and really all the Cognettes wines, continue to blow us away with this coming in at about $20 retail! #domainedescognettes #vinbio

All French lineup today in DC. 😀give us a shout to taste some of these gems!

Our visit with @vinyes_singulars was a great introduction to the Alt Penedes. Xarello (red and white) Parellada, Macabeo, Sumoll, Garnacha, single vineyards, old and recovered vines, calcareous clay, anfora, subterranean tanks, chestnut barrels, and lots of history.

Yesterday afternoon we stopped in with @laurentcazottes and toured his organic vineyards and gardens, along with his cellar and distillery.
Laurent is a 3rd generation winemaker and 2nd generation distiller, and is pretty dang good at both.
The aromas are pure and intense, and just so fresh. Laurent is one of 20 organic distillers in the world, and in winemaking, looks to traditional Gaillac varietals, also fresh and long lasting; we are very happy to be working with his wines, and are always excited by his eau de vies.

Clisson with our friends at Domaine des Cognettes. Our first direct import, we began working with Cognettes in 2015 and they have since become a staple of our portfolio.
Stéphane and Vincent Perraud are 6th generation winemakers working organically just outside the town of Clisson.
Yesterday, we toured their cellar, and vineyards, and Vincent slipped us around the fence to tour the @hellfestopenair event space that neighbors one of their Melon de Bourgogne vineyards (¿Metal terroir?) — complete with a Muscadet wine bar.

Wonderful first day spent in the Loire with Emiline Calvez at @domainebobinet
Saumur - Chenin and Cabernet Franc - old vines, carbonic fermentations, sans soufre, cement tanks, caves and foudre - she basically has it all 😎 #Loire #saumur #cabernetfranc #cheninblanc #caves #vinnature #summertrip #winetrip #frenchdressing

A few of these turned up in the warehouse! Perfect pairing with hot dogs, kiddie pools, sparklers, and bigger fireworks (legal or less than, but we didn’t see anything) #gabriobini #pantelleria #islandwine #zibbibo #cateratto #pignatello #fireworks
