Alexander Koppitsch took over his parents vines in 2011 & started making his own wines instead of selling to the local co-op. The Zweigelt comes from a tiny ½ hectare site & only about 200 bottles are produced. That’s micro. Grab one while you can: fresh,

Not just an everyday summer pink wine, but a structured and serious rosé for contemplation and food pairings. A tiny 25 cases were imported into the US. Special stuff from the queen of Dogliani, Nicoletta Bocca, easily one of the most inimitable producers

Cour-Cheverny is a truly obscure, unusual little appellation. Known for it’s high acidity and minerality, the Romorantin grape is also surprisingly age-worthy; residual sugar is often present, as is the case here, but the wine drinks dry. Melon and stone

Alain is fortunate enough to own parcels in Pouilly-Fumé that are heavy in Silex, a soil type coveted for its trademark laser-sharp flinty minerality. Indeed, if these plots were over the river in Sancerre, the wine would probably be double the price.

Despite 5 years of age, the acidity is still singing, with classic petrol and ripe tangerine. Mari Vineyards is perhaps the premiere winery in Michigan, with over 20 different varietals planted, including Italian grapes like Nebbiolo and Teroldego, unusua

A very earthy and grippy expression of Mondeuse, with hints of smoke and blueberry on the nose, leading to a palate of earth, green tannins (from whole cluster fermentation), and structured acidity.

This wine is a blend of several vineyard sites composed of younger vines, hence the humbler price tag. The wine is no less delicate than the domaine’s other offerings, though, with a more immediate fruit presence and lift. Natural wine from Alsace is rare

A very refreshing and fairly clean little pet nat. Very dry, with excellent chalky mineral, and hints of orange zest and persimmon. Sourced from a tiny 2-hectare plot.

The Balta estate has a cool tasting note for this wine: “It reminds us of a pear Tarte tatin with Crème Anglaise.” Yum. Don’t worry though, that doesn’t mean sweet! There’s plenty of dry minerality and a balanced acidity.

This appellation is one of only two that permit anything other than Pinot for the reds. (that’s not 100% true, but it’s complicated…) Designed for everyday drinking, it’s fresh and lively. Red fruited, with a balance of spice and acid. Not only is this es

Sometimes Riesling can have notes of just about any fruit you can think of, and that’s the case here: lime, apricot, peach, lemon oil extract…all securely anchored by a distinct limestone minerality.
