The list of factors goes on and our list of overachievers could, too. For now, we’ve narrowed down our selections to twenty-four wines—four each at six price points, because tremendous value isn’t exclusive to inexpensive bottlings. You can find it at all prices, from $12 to $120, as these wines resoundingly show.

After tasting these wines, you will never again be able to think about Savoie without thinking about the wonderful wines produced there, just a stone’s throw from those majestic peaks.

Few wines pair better with grilled foods than a savory, smoky expression of Syrah. Additionally, its characteristic spice and assertive flavor make it a great partner to many dishes in Indian, Pakistani, Persian, North African, and eastern Mediterranean cuisines, without forgetting its affinity to rustic French cooking.

We are pleased to announce that all of our 2020 rosés are finally here in Berkeley, and though most arrived later than usual, the way they’re drinking now makes the timing seem perfect.

After what seemed like an eternity—in reality, it was only a couple of months—we finally have Chablis back in stock!

Lively, refreshing, and shockingly well-priced wines—a testament to one man’s noble effort to give Bardolino the renown it deserves.

Her wonderfully complex terroir of schist, granite, and galets roulés (alluvial riverbed stones) produces some of the most ethereal rosés you’ll ever taste. And the olive oil—well, it isn’t easy for us to get as excited about olive oil as about wine, but when you taste these, you’ll understand why they have become Corsica’s pride and joy.

Their stunning aromatics and complexity prove them to be some of the greatest values in our Loire Valley portfolio.

Bandol is the source of many of Provence’s most exciting reds, and the four domaines we have selected all have something unique to propose.

The newly arrived 2019s showcase the Kimmeridgian marl terroir in its purest form, giving wines that are textbook Chablis.

Massimo Benevelli’s Baroli are classical, brilliantly crafted representations of what is perhaps Italy’s most distinguished red wine.

The various combinations of slopes, stones, and grapes in the southern Rhône create nearly unlimited diversity.

You will be hard pressed to find better wines anywhere in the Côte Chalonnaise, and don’t underestimate their appellations—de Villaine wines routinely outperform more prestigious, more expensive appellations.

In very few appellations throughout France and Italy do we import the wines of three or more domaines. Joining Bandol, Meursault, Morgon, and a few others in that short list is Pic Saint-Loup, situated forty-five minutes north of Montpellier.
