Difficulty level: Wine 101 

Join Flatiron Wine Educator Annie Edgerton, DWSET, for a deep dive into reds that embrace authenticity over polish—wines with soul, story, and just the right amount of edge. Together we’ll explore what “rustic” really means: not rough or unrefined, but evocative, textured, and rooted in tradition. These are wines that balance classical elegance with a wild, untamed heart, offering vitality in the glass. Along the way, we’ll uncover the threads that connect them—earth-driven profiles, classic sensibilities, and a devotion to place—as well as the quirks that set each one apart. We’ll taste through a lineup including a lifted, savory Jura, an old-school Tempranillo, a naturally made Australian charmer, and more enthralling delights.

Join us on Tuesday, February 3 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this special event.

Cathy Corison wines on the DL (and at a great price!)

Cathy Corison wines on the DL (and at a great price!)

Three of us visited Cathy Corison in Napa Valley this fall and had a spectacular tasting at a table set out among the vines. The back-vintage Napa Cabs (including mature Kronos!) were almost to good to believe and tasted like the sunshine and the land around us. Cab has never seemed so delicious and also of its place.  

But when it came time to head to lunch, the wine we needed to go with the spread we built ourselves at the Oakville Grocer (iykyk) wasn’t one of her famous reds, but an almost unknown white, the bone dry “Corazon” Gewurztraminer.

Spectacular South African Pinot Noir is a Family Affair at Crystallum

Who's Peter Max? And why is his name on a South African Pinot Noir that enthralls anyone who tastes it?

It's actually two guys: Peter and Max are the names of the growers whose fruit went into the first vintage of this wine, a multi-vineyard blend that's meant to encapsulate everything good about South Africa's misty, cold Walker Bay region and its coastal neighbors. There's also Peter as in winemaker Peter-Allen Finlayson, who founded Crystallum in partnership with his brother Andrew.

Good Things Take Time: Drink Joguet's Back-Vintage Chinon Now!

Good Things Take Time: Drink Joguet's Back-Vintage Chinon Now!

When Rebecca Gibb, MW, tasted Joguet’s single vineyard 2019 Chinons she couldn’t help but wax poetic. They’re the kind of wines that do that to even the most technically adept tasters. They’re also wines that get high points and that can age for decades.

And yet, Chinon (generally) and Joguet (specifically) remain a bit of an insider’s wine. Charles Joguet may be one of the appellation’s benchmark producers, and an early proponent of both single vineyard Chinon as well as organic farming.
