2023 Roland Lavantureux Chablis
Kermit Lynch is shipping us our allocation of 2023 Lavantureux Chablis, and we couldn't be more excited to give you a preview.
The more Valtellina wines we taste, the more excited we get about this hidden gem in the North of Italy. We're thrilled to be welcoming Marco Fay of Sandro Fay to the mezzanine on Thursday, February 20 for a masterclass on the Valtellina region and his family's wonderful wines.
In 1971, Sandro Fay embarked on the journey of revitalizing his family's modest vineyard in San Giacomo di Teglio, nestled within the Valtellina Superiore DOCG region. By 1973, Fay had formally established Azienda Agricola Fay and embarked on a gradual expansion of the vineyard, integrating additional parcels of land meticulously chosen for their diverse soil compositions and altitudes ranging from 350 meters to 900 meters on steep mountain slopes.
Sandro's son Marco, who runs the winery with his sister Elena, Marco, studied oenology in Trentino and honed his skills in Barolo. Marco will guide us through his lineup of single-vineyard wines centered around the Chiavennasca (also known as Nebbiolo) variety. Seating is very limited for this exclusive seminar. The cost of this seminar is $40 and a $20 credit at the store will be extended to each guest for a future purchase. We hope you can join us on Thursday, February 20 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this very special event.

Just in the nick of time, the New York Times' Eric Asimov has released a brand-new 20 Under $20 column. With the doldrums of February approaching, it's important to enjoy the small things that bring pleasure, and for many of us (all of us?) a glass of well-made wine is exactly that. Add in a great meal, and now you're cooking with gas.
Yvon Metras has long been Beaujolais' elusive man of mystery. To French winemakers (and drinkers) he is, along with neighbors Lapierre and Foillard, one of the "fathers of natural wine".
