Marques de Tomares' Rioja Blanco — The Perfect Winter White Wines
Rioja Blanco is tragically under appreciated — it’s easily one of Spain’s most compelling styles of wine, regardless of color. Tomares offers two versions: one a crisp, easy drinking, lightly floral quaffer, and the other, a sophisticated, rich and earthy drink akin to white Burgundy or southern Italian whites like Falanghina or Fiano.
Ca'Nova's Classical Barbaresco, and the Power of Great Terroir
Today’s Barbaresco may surprise some readers. We tend to think of Barbaresco as a wine that requires aging, especially when made in such an old-school style. But the Piedmontese themselves are happy to drink many of their Barbarescos young, and this would certainly be one of them.
Lafouge's Everyday Bourgogne Rouge Offers Extraordinary Joys
Lafouge is best known for their white Meursault and reds from Pommard and their home village of Auxey Duresses, all made in an elegant, restrained but fruit-forward style. The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge sings in the same delicious key: it’s bursting with crunchy, high-toned red fruit, and plenty of freshness and energy.
Lionnet's Traditional Cornas — Stunning Syrah, Rich & Elegant
Terre Brûlée is sourced from multiple organically-farmed plots, including Chaillot. You get the rich, gutsy character of Cornas, but also elegance and freshness. In other words, it’s world-class Syrah that you can drink today (with food), or hold for more than a decade.

Ready-to-Drink Saint-Émilion with Pedigree: Château Fonbel's 2016
Not all Saint-Émilion is like this, just like not every plate of spaghetti is not delicious, and not every performance of Macbeth is compelling. You need a sure hand to bring a classic to life. Fonbel isn’t made by just anyone. It’s produced by the Vauthier family, who also make the splendid but elusive Château Ausone, perennially ranked by critics as one of the greatest wines of the Right Bank.
Seriously Silky Syrah from a Northern Rhône Cult Hero, JM Stephan
At the wine fairs Jean Michel often attended, he found his attention drawn to winemakers like Marcel Lapierre and Philippe & Michèle Aubèry of Domaine Gramenon, who were passionate about natural wines made without any additives. Inspired by these titans, his VdF wines, made on those 5 hectares outside of Côte-Rôtie, are vinified sans soufre.

Beautiful Barolo from Brezza, A Hidden Jewel in Piedmont
Brezza’s wines complement the unapologetic Barolo tannins with a forwardness of fruit, an accessibility that makes them more fun to drink young than many comparably pedigreed Barolos. Brezza's wines showcase a softer, more accessible style of Nebbiolo.
