Austrian wine specialist Stefanie Lobner, managing director at Premium Estates of Austria, is one of the most charming, and knowledgeable, Austria ambassadors we've met. On Monday, February 10, we're taking advantage of her visit to New York with a special seminar that will look at Austria through the lens of three top producers in the Vineyard Brands portfolio. As we taste the wines of Sattlerhof, Loimer and Wieninger, Stefanie will share her love of this great wine nation. All three producers are customer favorites, and all three are certified by respekt-BIODYN, Austria's biodynamic farming collective.
Please join us on Monday, February 10 at 6pm as we explore this exciting and diverse set of wines with the lovely Stefanie. Light bites will be served. Seating is limited. Tickets for this class are $40 and a $20 store credit will be issued with your purchase.
Camus-Bruchon's 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune "Aux Grands Liards Vieilles Vignes," shows how beautifully old vines translate classic terroir and Guillaume Camus did an exemplary job letting his vines sing in 2022. Despite the heat and stress of the vintage, he has managed to capture wines with incredible precision and balance with generous, juicy ripe fruit balanced with unstoppable freshness and lift.
To celebrate the end of 2024, we are offering an even more delicious version of one of 2023's most popular sparkling wines. We're talking about Bruno Dangin's blanc de noir called "Cuvée Blanche" — a Crémant de Bourgogne you could easily mistake for a great Grower Champagne.
Located in the small village of Boca, Le Piane is one of our favorite Alto Piemonte producers. Swiss-born Christoph Kunzli purchased the cellar and a tiny clutch of vines from octogenarian vigneron Antonio Cerri soon after arriving in the region in the late 1980s. If — like us — you find a hypothetical cross between the traditional wines of Barolo and the Savoie quite enticing, then these wines are must-trys.
