Taille Aux Loups, Brut Tradition NV

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Chenin Blanc

Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is a rising star in the French and international wine scene. He produces his wine with true vision and no sacrifice, two attributes rarely seen in the commercial wine world today. While working as a wine broker in the Loire Valley, Blot came into contact with a winemaking family no longer capable of caring for their land. Believing the site needed to be respected and shown to the world, his inner voice urged him out of his office and into the vineyards. From this beginning, in 1989 he has since expanded his lands to include parcels in Vouvray, Montlouis, and Bourgueil. Though just across the river from Vouvray, Montlouis does not have the strong market grip of its neighbor. However, its vineyards and age of vines can produce wines that outshine just about anything.

This is a Chenin Blanc made in the traditional method coming from vines that are 40 years old. The dosage is low at just 3 grams per liter. The wine ages in barrels that are 9-10 years old

G.D. Vajra, Langhe Rosso 2018

$18.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, and other local red varieties

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hardworking, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past. The Langhe Rosso is a wine that speaks to the region and all the varietals that make the region famous.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

This Langhe Rosso is a mainstay of the Vajra family. It may be their flagship bottle as it is not only food friendly, but approachable to the masses and incredible value. The blend incorporates all the red varieties that Vajra does well while maintaining the identity of the Langhe region. Its ageing is just long enough in stainless steel and neutral oak to allow each variety to harmonize with the others.

Michel & Tina Gassier Cotes du Rhone 2019

$15.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre

Michel Gassier is a man of many intricate traits. Michel and his wife, Tina, form the identity of Domaine Gassier, believing that their craft should come from a place of teamwork. He considers himself a “peasant-researcher.” His peasant side is derived from his genes while the researcher part reflects his own sense of character. Clearly inspired by the terroir of his vineyards and intervening as little as possible, inspiration comes from many of the international winemakers he meets. He takes notes from other winemaking methods and blending styles, consistently furthering himself to learn more and more.

This wine is another example of how Domaine Gassier maintains freshness in their wines. Their Côtes du Rhone is a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. It is unfined and unfiltered, and aged in concrete for one year to retain purity of the terroir and fruit.

Roches Neuves, Cuvee Domaine 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

The small image that appears on most of Thierry Germain’s labels is a silhouette of the man himself; he is walking, casting a long shadow that transitions into two tall grape vines. This image is the perfect metaphor to imply the large shadow Thierry casts in life; affecting the vines around him through his ability to produce healthy grapes and practice biodynamic farming. While other vignerons in Saumur are pumping as much synthetic fertilizer into the vineyards as possible, Thierry is using compost when necessary, forcing the grapes to suffer, resulting in lower yields and complex pure wines.

Paul Pillot, Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2018

$42.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Pinot Noir

Thierry Pillot is the fourth generation of the Pillot legacy in the legendary Côtes de Beaune of southern Burgundy. Even though the domain began with Thierry’s great grandfather—Jean-Baptist —the domain was named after Paul Pillot—Thierry’s father. Jean-Baptiste was a barrel maker by trade and began focusing on his vines full time in 1900; the estate was born then. Today the estate is run by the energetic Thierry, who spends most of his time in the vineyards, but is a non-interventionist in the cellar with discreet usage of new wood. The family are artists in the cellar when it comes to oak usage; it is very well integrated into the wines. Thierry is one of the finest winemakers in the Côtes de Beaune; if one should come across any of his bottles, don’t hesitate to snatch them up.

Perhaps Hart and Cru’s favorite of the Bourgogne Rouge lineup. This Bourgogne Rouge comes from 50+ year old vines in Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay.

Matthiasson, Village Cabernet Sauvignon No.2 2018

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer, building his reputation on vineyard management of top properties up and down the California coast. As farmers, Steve and Jill recognize that Napa loves Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and many well-known international grapes. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together.

He always felt there was a need for an honest glass of Cabernet that was perfect for the table and ready to drink, yet the quality of the fruit should still be pure and unmanipulated—something nearly impossible to find under sixty dollars in California. This is the only the second time this wine has been made.

Chateau Peybonhomme-Les Tours, Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux 2018

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon

Ask any friend to name a wine region and many will know the name, Bordeaux. Yet the region has a reputation for producing overly expensive wines and is associated with wine snobs. Classified growths and fancy Chateaus are what consumers see from one of the most famous wine regions in the world. But, over the years I have come to love the region’s underdog estates that make incredible wine with a much lower price tag. Peybonhomme is one of these estates. The farming and wine are certified by Demeter Bio-dynamic Certification (an organization that upholds some of the strictest farming practices in the world). This is a no-frills operation and that results in a delicious wine that’s affordable by the bottle and the case.

Andrea Felici, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2018

$19.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Verdicchio

Andrea Felici started bottling his wines in 2002, but when his son Leonardo wanted to join the family firm, Andrea wisely sent him to get experience in the wider world, to develop a taste for fine wine, to broaden his perspectives before he came back to their tiny village in the region of the Marche. Leo spent four years working as a sommelier, then returned home. He and his father began converting the vineyards to organic. They make just two wines: a young vine Verdicchio, and a lees-aged Verdicchio from 50 year old vines. Both are delicious at incredible value.

G.D. Vajra, N.S. Della Neve, Extra Brut, Metodo Classico Rosato NV

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hard-working, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

The story behind the wine began with Thomas Jefferson when he was French ambassador and often traveled to Piedmont. During his visits, he drank Nebbiolo and proclaimed that it was as brisk as Champagne. The Vajra family later challenged this statement by making a wine with both Nebbiolo and the Champagne grape, Pinot Noir, as its blend. This bottle gets its name from the chapel that sits on the slopes of the vineyards: “Nostra Signora Della Neve” which means "Our Lady of the Snow" referring to the barren soil which still produces beautiful fruit from this site.

Tenuta di Carleone, Chianti Classico 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Sangiovese

Tenuta Carleone di Castiglioni was first mentioned in the year 1078 when monks first founded it in Chianti, named for the village of Castiglioni meaning “small castle.” The property is a romantic vision of wooded hills, rivers, and fertile plains. Nestled in between the hills are the Sangiovese vines and olive trees. Though the property was farmed for hundreds of years, it did not become the winery of Tenuta di Carleone until 2012. Karl Egger and Sean O’Callaghan both operate the winery with a clear vision, making Sangiovese in a classic way, though with Sean’s twist. Nothing is added to the wine, grappa, or cold-pressed olive oils. Keep an eye on their other Sangiovese expressions, Il Guercio, Uno, Chianti Classico, and their grappa of Sangiovese named “Zero.”

Chateau Peybonhomme-Les Tours, "L'Atypic" 2019

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Varieties: Malbec and Cabernet Franc

From the same Bordeaux house that brought us Château Peybonhomme and La Grolet, they bring us this fun bottling. Even though Château Peybonhomme Les Tours began six generations ago in 1895, this generation begins with the union of two humans of different wine-related backgrounds. Jean-Luc Hubert descended from a long line of sailors who navigated the Gironde river utilizing “scow” boats to transport wine. Alternatively, Catherine came from a long line of winemakers, her great grandfather having acquired Peybonhomme in 1890. Both of their ancestors worked extensively with one another making and transporting wine, unbeknownst to them the union that would one day happen. The kids have grown and now assist in making beautiful, natural wines and following in their parents’ footsteps.

Because of this “atypical” blend of Malbec and Cabernet Franc, the “L’Atypic”—pronounced “lah tee-peek”—is a less serious style of Bordeaux in a declassified Bordeaux bottling. This comes from the Right Bank of Bordeaux from the region of Blaye.

Julien Braud, Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2019

$15.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Melon de Bourgogne

You have to give a clap to Julien Braud for his ambition and ingenuity for pushing his family forward. Many growers for years in this part of France sold their fruit and farmed with more mechanical means. This farming is changing, and Julien is one of the rising stars who has built something special from his family's land. With only 18 acres—and around 12 of those going into vineyards—this estate is very boutique. Julien farms by horse and uses only natural yeasts for the fermentation. The wines age in glass-lined, buried cement vats in the ground. It is impressive to see this level of dedication to winemaking with wines produced at an incredible value and quality.

G.D. Vajra, Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hard-working, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

Though the Langhe Nebbiolo has a similar journey to the Baroli wines, the outcome is intentionally different. Coming from younger vines, the wine undergoes a long, gentle maceration period. The wine will age for 8-14 months in stainless steel to retain the pure fruit and generous aromatics; it will age in neutral oak only when needed. This bottle can be drunk immediately or cellar if desired.

G.D. Vajra, Barolo Albe 2016

$50.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Albe is an ode to the traditional Barolo, which was always blended from different vineyards. Its name Albe refers to the sunrise, indicating the three separate sunrises that take place over each vineyard with its unique sun exposure and elevation. Albe is aged in large Slavonian oak casks for 30 months and blended before its bottling.

Railsback Freres, Rose "Les Rascasses" Santa Ynez Valley 2020

$29.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvedre

Inspired by the famed Provence Rosé made by Domaine Tempier.

The story of two brothers: even while still in high school, Eric was already collecting bottles of prized top dollar Burgundy and Chablis, hiding them under his bed when he started college. Lyle’s quest for knowledge landed him in Austria where he met one of his most important friends in the industry, sommelier Rajat Parr. After a decade of restaurant work, Eric returned to Santa Barbara to start his own project, Lieu Dit, inspired by the Loire. Older brother Lyle had also worn many hats in the industry, ultimately landing a job for one of the most esteemed importers Kermit Lynch, leading regional sales. After leading separate lives for some time, the brothers both felt a calling to merge their two paths, which is how Railsback Frères came to be born.

Celler De Les Aus, Merla Alella 2019

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Mataro

The family behind Alta Alella has spent their entire life dedicated to wine; that would be husband and wife duo Josef and Cristina.

Though the winery is young, the family continually push themselves to learn new things with each vintage. The wines are very low intervention with no added sulfites; little is done to the wines after the grapes have been pressed.

“Merla” is a unique example of Monastrell for it has been bottled young with only three months in oak, nor is it typically bottled as a single varietal. Regardless of their decision to start their own trends, the dynamic winemaking couple are making great strides in Barcelona.

Chateau Peybonhomme-Les Tours, Quintessence de Peybonhomme Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux 2016

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Merlot, Malbec

From the same Bordeaux house that brought us Châteaux Peybonhomme and La Grolet, they bring us this fun bottling. Even though Château Peybonhomme Les Tours began six generations ago in 1895, this generation begins with the union of two humans of different wine-related backgrounds. Jean-Luc Hubert descended from a long line of sailors who navigated the Gironde river utilizing “scow” boats to transport wine. Alternatively, Catherine came from a long line of winemakers, her great grandfather having acquired Peybonhomme in 1890. Both of their ancestors worked extensively with one another making and transporting wine, unbeknownst to them the union that would one day happen. The kids have grown and now assist in making beautiful, natural wines and following in their parents’ footsteps.

The Malbec variety was originally a Bordeaux blending grape, but has often been overshadowed by Cabernet and Merlot. Peybonhomme has embraced this variety using their biodynamic principles. It is clear through the name “Quintessence” that the wine exudes perfection and quality.

Guilhem et Jean-Hugues Goisot, Bourgogne Aligote 2018

$24.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Aligote

The Goisot family hails from the small appellation of Saint-Bris, which geographically speaking, is part of Chablis, but was exiled from the appellation after phylloxera. While the history of winemaking in Burgundy dates back centuries, Jean-Hugues Goisot was among Burgundy's earliest fathers of biodynamic viticulture. His son, Guillaume, maintains this rigorous commitment with the family today. The Goisot family knows that in order to be one of the top producers in Burgundy, especially within an appellation that fought long and hard for a share of the spotlight, the wines would need to shine even brighter. They have a firm understanding of the region’s terroir; their wines consistently radiate quality and value.

Aligote is the less popular Burgundy counterpart to Chardonnay, but undeservedly so. Aligote needs less ageing, and is able to be drunk young while many of the regions Chardonnays continue their time in the cellar. This Aligote is aged in stainless steel with a hefty minerality from the clay and fossilized oyster shells below the vines in Saint-Bris.

G.D. Vajra, Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2016

$45.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Barbera

The Vajra story is something quite magical. The family is not from noble descendants but is a family of hard-working, passionate, caring people. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past.

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

This Barbera comes from two sites: Bricco delle Viole and Bricco Bertone. An old saying of the Barbera Superiore style by old farmers was, "a Barbera that behaves like a Barolo." This is due to its extensive ageing in Slavonian oak, usually 18 to 18 months and a few more months in bottle. This is a Barbera meant for ageing.

Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup, Pic Saint Loup Tour de Pierres Rouge 2018

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre

Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup has quite the legend following it. In medieval times, there were three lords of the Languedoc entranced by the beauty of a princess. She vowed to give herself to the most gallant, Christian man. The lords traveled to Jerusalem on a crusade to defend the tomb of Christ; upon returning, they discovered the princess’ death. In their grief, they each retreated to nearby mountains, living their lives as hermits. “Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup” translates to a hermit dwelling; Saint Loup Peak was named for one of the princess’ suitors. The three Ravaille brothers now operate the winery, their family having lived in the Languedoc for over 1000 years. The emblem of three fish not only reiterates the story of the three suitors, but also the fraternal bond of the three brothers.

The name of the bottling, “Tour de Pierres” means “tower of stones.” Perhaps the tower refers to the natural assemblage of limestone, and loose red clay stones at the bottom of the Gravette slope in Pic Saint Loup.
