Alvarinho Deu La Deu Reserva
$30.99
Adega Cooperativa e Regional de Monção was born in 1958, as a result of the common ambition of a group of winegrowers. It's not surprising that, in a region of people known for their resilient character and for their enormous capacity to overcome difficulties, such an idea was born. The natural privilege where the grapes for such precious wines were grown was well known. The quality was undeniable. However, an action to optimize production and take the good news to all corners was needed. A common strategy was the only answer and with the formation of Adega de Monção, it came to be.
Lafazanis Geometria Assyrtiko
$26.99
In the early 1960s, Vasilios G.

Today they own ten hectares of their own vineyards in the Peloponnese region. Agiorgitiko, Moschofilero, Assyrtiko and Malagouzia are grown and tended here.

The winery has a sloping terrain with excellent drainage. Besides the privately owned vineyards, Lafazanis also has contracted vineyards around with contracted winegrowers who provide for them only quality grapes.

Salem Evening Land Chardonnay
$53.99
Since 2014, Evening Land Vineyards has been under the aegis of Rajat Parr & Sashi Moorman, a vigneron tag-team loved for their work in California at Domaine de la Côte and Sandhi Wines. But Evening Land's story truly begins in 1980 when the MacDonald family planted the famed Seven Springs Vineyard in south-eastern Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley. The MacDonald Family farmed and sold this magical fruit to the brightest names in Oregon winemaking for decades. It wasn’t until 2005 when Evening Land Vineyards was born that this esteemed vineyard became a monopole, so to speak. Evening Land leased the whole of this treasured vineyard from the MacDonald family outright that year and a star-studded team led by Dominique Lafon of Burgundy fame took the helm, transitioning leadership to Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr in 2014.

Charles Dufour Bistrotage Champagne
$131.99
Based in Landreville in the Aube, Champagne vigneron Charles Dufour began his career in 2006 with a more conventional approach to Champagne, but not long after made the switch to organic viticulture (conversion of his six hectares was completed in 2010). Dufour’s are Champagnes of authenticity, reflecting, along with many other sensitive vignerons in his young cohort, the potential of the terroir of the Côte des Bars. Dufour only ever employs spontaneous ferments for vin clairs, and the wines are free of added sulfur. He’s also taken an interest in employing Pinot Blanc in his cuvées, with this variety figuring strongly in the domaine’s Bulles de Comptoir bottling. All primary ferments are conducted in old tanks and burgundy pièces with native yeast, no so2, and full malolactic completed. Dosage is very low; liqueur de tirage is a blend of Dufour’s own wine and cane sugar; the yeasts used in the secondary fermentation are derived from his own vineyards. None of his wines are ever fined or filtered.
Dufour has also expanded his Champagne range in recent years by making new wines from vineyards of his mother Françoise Martinot’s side of the family in a nearby village.
