Proidl Senftenberg Riesling Alte Reben 2021
$41.00Add to cartThe Proidl family winery operates somewhere between tradition and modernity. The Proidls see themselves as craftsmen and mountain winegrowers with a past (they’ve been working the sites since 1738) and a promising future. They are minimalists and want to showcase wines that are made with patience and precision. The results are as precise as one would hope.
The Riesling we are sharing has classic hallmarks of a Riesling grown on granite soils. There’s a fine herbal, savory component that plays off fresh fruit like peach, young citrus, and tart apples, but the mineral core, along with the fresh acid and long finish, makes this a wine that we can see ourselves enjoying just as much (if not more!) ten years from now.
Pair with almost any food, but this will shine with Thai.

Remoortere Menetou Salon 2022
$29.00Add to cartThis wine was made under the direction of Antoine Van Remoortere who honed his craft across the world but most notably in South Africa and at Julien Zernott’s Pas de l’Escalette before taking over the family estate, Chateau de Maupas, and converting his favorite 4-hectare parcel to organics. Menetou Salon is just a few kilometers from Sancerre, and just like in Sancerre white wines are made with Sauvignon Blanc.
This wine is grown on clay-limestone slopes of Frouchet and Reigny and is mineral-driven and focused. Classic Loire Sauvignon Blanc.

Sono Montenidoli Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2023
$36.00Add to cartA gorgeously savory organic whire that’s a favorite of Olivia. Montenidoli’s estate is in the Tuscan hills between Siena and Florence and they produce distinct wines that have impressed other winemaking luminaries across the world.
Olivia’s pick comes from a producer that we’ve carried before but has recently returned to the shop. That’s right, fan (and staff) favorite Tuscan producer Montenidoli is back (for now). This beautifully textured white wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel but has a bit more skin contact than many white wines, imparting a firmer texture and deeper color. Delicious.

Tenuta Rapitala Grillo Viviri 2023
$20.00Add to cart“I’m not a fan of most Grillo—they mostly taste like cheap white wine! They are effortless, but in a bad way. I’m not above calling them insipid, but this wine has real character. It’s textured with great aromatics and you can tell the producers spent time working to make an excellent wine for a low price. I love it.” -David

Thomas Batardiere Chenin Blanc L’Esprit Libre 2023
$54.00Add to cartWe receive only a tiny quantity of these jewel-like wines, but we’re always enchanted by their robust-but-elegant character. Batardière’s wines are somehow powerful, pretty, and crystal clear all at once, an unadorned expression of Anjou that could only come from this clear-headed and intuitive winemaker.
Certified Biodynamic. 100% Chenin Blanc. This wine is made of three parcels, situated in Rablay, with vines 15-90 years old. From plateaus of red sand and quartz gravel on schist. The juice is blended in steel tanks before the fermentation starts. The alcoholic and malolatic fermentations start naturally, without inoculation and without temperature control (his cave is underground and it’s 14 degrees C). The wine rests on its lees from pressing until summer without sulfur. Raised mainly in steel, although Thomas uses L’Esprit Libre to break in his 500L tonneaux that he then uses for ‘Clos de Cocus’ when needed. No SO2 added in 2023.
