Piron Beaujolais Blanc
$31.99
Dominique Piron’s family has been growing grapes here since the 16th century, and Dominique took over the estate in 1971. Piron farms 45 hectares of vineyards scattered among several different crus in Beaujolais, namely Morgon, Chénas, Brouilly, Régnié and Moulin-à-Vent. He owns some parcels, rents others, and also buys 20 hectares worth of carefully selected grapes from their neighbours. Regardless of where the grapes are sourced, Piron is responsible for every aspect of quality control from the vineyard management to the marketing of the finished wine. They take such great care of each of their crus that even the simple Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages wines are carefully selected from single-vineyard parcels. Each of their terroirs is unique, yet they are all granite-based soils—the ideal grounding for the Gamay grape. Piron farms sustainably, although he has also been experimenting with organic methods to achieve a rich biodiversity in the vineyards.
Domaine De La Garreliere Sauvignon Blanc
$34.99
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, grown in the limestone soil of the Loire Valley maintains distinctive aromas of gooseberries and other of grapefruit and with fresh, lively acidity that enforces the perfect crispness.

Showing the beautiful effect of terroir on wines. Perfect to pair with your favourite chevre. The domaine is biodyamic and the wine falls into the natural realm without tasting like kombucha. In fact more Sancerre-like than anything.
JJ Prum Wehl. Sonn. Spatlese
$98.99
Joh. Jos. Prüm needs no introduction to Riesling lovers, having already become a Mosel icon during the nearly five decades during which its namesake’s son Sebastien was in charge. Katharina Prüm has been active alongside her father, Manfred, since early in the new millennium, and the two of them perpetuate a house style that has itself become a Mosel archetype: wines of delicacy and restrained sweetness, but with legendary longevity. The Prüms personally don’t care to drink their own wines – even the Kabinetts – with less than a dozen, and usually many more, years in bottle. The wine comes over as initially subtle on the palate but develops more structure and cut as some zesty elements of grapefruit, fresh pineapple, and minty herbs come through in the slightly ample finish. This overall powerhouse expression of fruity-styled Riesling also offers incredible complexity and subtlety.
Cannonball Chardonnay
$29.99
Cannonball is based in Heldsburg, Sonma, but they source fruit from numerous California sites to bring a range of well-made wines offer great value. Fruit for Cannonball’s bright, open, expressive Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards around northern California in Mendocino, Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Sonoma. The wine was fermented and aged in an even mix of French oak and stainless steel, and malolactic influence was kept to a minimum.
Grosjean Petite Arvine
$52.99
Valle d'Aosta is an Alpine region in North-West Italy known for expressive and mineral-focused wines. The first authentic records, found in the historic archive of the Valle d'Osta, state that the first appearance of the Grosjean Family name was around the 16th century. Originally from Switzerland, the Petite Arvine grape has adapted well to the valley’s conditions. Introduced to the region during the 1970s, it occupied the central part of the valley and was planted at an altitude between 600 and 900 metres above sea level. It has become well suited to their draining steep mountainsides. A recent study shows that the Petite Arvine seems to have a close link to the native Prié Blanc grape. Try it with appetizers, white fish and poultry.
Lopez de Heredia Gravonia Blanco
$78.99
"The white that will be sold from October or November 2019, the 2011 Viña Gravonia Blanco comes from a warmer year with very low yields, and the wine is already showing some tertiary notes, with very subtle diesel-like hints. The palate is bone dry with some nutty undertones and a salty/bitter finish. These are whites for food. 18,667 bottles were filled in November 2016, at the same time as the 2010, which means this had a shorter élevage (probably the sign of a slightly weaker year)." - 94 points, Robert Parker
