La Petite Mort Qvevri Gentil 2021
$35.00Despite the floral nature of these two Alsatian varieties, they complement and contrast each other brilliantly. The white blossom aromas of the Muscat provide a base line and the rose and lychee of the Gewürz sit on top to create exotic layers of fruit, spice and flowers. But this is not a sweet wine, and […]

Cantina Marangona Lugana 2021
$35.00The first Turbiana I have tasted, wishing I had encountered the varietal years ago. Spring Jasmine, green apple, white peach, nectarine and lemon zest. Subtle textural grip and hints of cream embellish an otherwise linear, mineral palate. Super fresh, pitched perfectly, like a brilliant Soave in that it has the perfect fruit, acidity and flesh […]

Jo Landron Muscadet Sevre et Maine Le Fief du Breil 2016

Jo Landron Muscadet Sevre et Maine Amphibolite 2020
$45.00Biodynamic. Landron’s most mineral cuvée derives its name from the greenish, metamorphic bedrock (amphibolite) that dominates the soils in which it is grown. Produced from vines aged between 35 and 40 years, this unique wine was vinified with only a short period on lees, as Jo Landron wanted to retain as much freshness and minerality […]
