Why we picked it
The fame of Priorat is both recent and ancient; the beautiful Escaladei (Steps of God) mountain formation frames the monastery of Santa Maria of Escaladei; it was founded in the 12th century by Alfonso the Chaste (poor guy). And over the last few decades, the slate and quartz soils called llicorella generate super low yields and super concentrated wines. Grenache and Carignan dominate but this blend includes small amounts of Syrah and Merlot; six months in French oak barrels offers a wine that is powerful but still framed by useful acidity.

Aurore de Dauzac
Margaux always sounds intimidating, right? “Oh, excuse me, I only drink Margaux.” Relax — it’s still just fermented grape juice. Really good fermented grape juice… that I’m probably drinking in sweatpants while reheating leftover pizza. This is the second wine of Château Dauzac, a Fifth Growth estate that’s been making wine since the Middle Ages. It’s Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, plush with blackberries, plums, and a little cedar. Aged for a year in French oak, it’s polished and elegant — or at least as elegant as you can feel when you’re pairing it with last night’s Domino’s.
Austin Hope "Austin"
The “Austin” wine is a multiple vintage blend of vineyards in the region; think of it as the ultimate winemaker’s craft for his own table.

The massive Pays d’Oc covers the greater part of Mediterranean France. After the railroad was built, linking the south to Paris, wines of the Languedoc filled the carafes of Parisian bistros, and they still do today. But the last century has seen vast improvements to the wines that once were built only for value. The rest is traditionally made; though used and funky barrels are no longer the norm in the Languedoc, where this tasty wine is crafted.
