Listening to young winemaker Pierre Cazeneuve talk during a visit to Bordeaux in 2018, we could sense that he was interested in more than simply continuing tradition, and it was clear that Paloumey was a producer to follow.
Here, you have wines that haveintense structure and aromas – of course, as this is Barolo! – but also poise. Maybe it doesn’t quite strike you as strongly on that first sip, as do wines from some other villages. But elegance is like that. Get to the end of the first glass and you will be thoroughly persuaded to pour yourself a second.
You can now schedule short, virtual consultations with our staff. Thanks to the folks over at RESY, it’s now easier than ever to get all the advice you need in picking out wines.
Christian Tschida is one of the most uncompromising voices in natural wine. Today we’re offering two rare and delicious examples of Tschida’s handiwork: “Brutal”, a light red made from Pinot Noir, and “Birdscape”, which falls somewhere between a light red and a rosé, and is made from a Blaufrankisch-prominent combination of red and white grapes.
Edouard and Eleni believe you can only make great wine if you are close to the vines. So, they have kept things small: under 5 hectares (the family Domaine is nearly 10 times that). They know their vines, know their plots, and they bottle their vineyards individually so that we can enjoy each – highly individual – terroir on its own terms.
Why not take a wine and food vacation in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State? Our friend Thomas Pastuszak of Terassen put together this great list of fun places to visit and things to do in the Finger Lakes.
We're offering the greatest that the 2019 Vintage has to offer at the best prices we'll have all year. As usual, for many of these producers' more sought-after wines, this will be your only chance to buy them from us: many of these wines will only be available on DI or will sell out long before they can make it to our shelves.
These vineyards only make upabout 10% of the DOC Barolo, but they make a far larger percentage of the best known wine, and 100% of the village is entitled to produce Nebbiolo called Barolo. The swathe of Crus that contain the name “Cannubi” produce some of the world’s greatest Nebbiolo. This is a bit like all those Crus in Vosne that contain the word “Romanee”. But at like one fifth of the price.
In the next few weeks, our blog will take you through Barolo. Today, we have anoverview of the DOC. In coming weeks, we’ll travel village by village, to break down Barolo.
Thank you for your concern and well wishes over the last few days. We wanted to post this short update to let you know what is going on in the Flatiron District.
