DuMol Wester Chardonnay
$96.99

Barrel fermenting and aging takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks and new and used French Oak, lending this Chardonnay both power and subtle complexity.
L Ecole 41 Merlot
$51.99
L’Ecole N° 41 is a third-generation family-owned, artisan winery located in the historic Frenchtown School depicted on their label. Founded in 1983, they were the third winery established in the Walla Walla Valley. They have become one of the most prominent and visible Walla Walla Valley wineries with national and international distribution. Ever wondered what the story was behind this cool label? In 1984 Jean and Baker Ferguson, the founders, held a contest with all the relatives' children under grade six. The objective: draw a colourful drawing to be used as a wine label. The winner was 8 year old cousin, Ryan Campbell. Ryan's watercolour of the schoolhouse has graced their bottles ever since. We wonder if he gets royalty rights.
Lucien Crochet Sancerre
$61.99
The Crochet Family traces its wine-making roots back to 1765 in the Sancerre district of the Loire. You can't beat that heritage and their talent to capture the essence of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.

Lapierre Morgon Cru Beaujolais
$58.99
If you are more of a organic/biodynamic/natural/transparent wine fellow, Lapierre is a name you will know well. If you don't, not to worry because we will explain why this wine is important.
Marcel lapierre took over his father's vineyard in 1973, and started to challenge the norm. His mentor, Jules Chauvet was one of (if not) the first person to speak out about natural wine; a style of wine that is honest and true to what nature intended. With Lapierre joining Chauvet, his winery is one of the biggest names known to the natural wine world. Unfortunatley Marcel passed in 2010, but his son Mathieu and daughter Camille carry on his legacy, producing natural and delicious Beaujolais. This Morgon is one of their flagship wines. It's stony, it's flinty, it's dark plum, it's cherry, it is complex. A wine that can age, but also is showing well in its youth. Sit back, relax, and experience Lapierre.
