Cassandre
Within Cabardès, a prime site in the ocean of vines that is Languedoc-Roussillon, the Ramés are growing many of the same grapes as their neighbors but using them to sometimes unusual ends. They call some of these wines “les Dissidents” which are “delicate blends concocted in jars of 150 or 500 litres, and in casks of 2,000 litres.” This one is 100% Vermentino (they call it Rolle there) and it has layers and layers.

Caymus Cabernet
What really needs to be said...??? Chuck Wagner has been producing delicious Cabernet at Caymus for over 30 years (he's got a pretty solid track record)...all things considered, I'd say this is a buy.

Caymus Suisin Walking Fool
That pesky Wagner Family just can’t stop cranking out wines that keep attracting new drinkers. It stands to reason that the people that brought you Caymus, Emmolo, Mer Soleil and many others have decoded the American palate and learned to craft wines of buzz and lushness. This one is Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from the sunny Suisun Valley, just to the east of Napa and offering great value and friendliness.

C'est pas la Mer a Boire Picpoul
Here’s what you should know about Picpoul de Pinet: it’s never bad; and only sometimes good. So there’s a lot to be said for grapes that never suck. About the time I decided I was no longer going to think about the Picpoul grape, I tasted this Picpoul de Pinet and it was utterly delicious.

Chalk Hill Russian River Chardonnay
Sonoma winemaking legend David Ramey put this place on the vinous map, after he had done more or less the same at Simi and Matanzas Creek, and before he finally created his own namesake estate. Knows his stuff. This sees a native yeast fermentation in barrel, with completed malolactic fermentation for all the richness you seek.

Chateau Carteau
The vines on this Saint-Emilion property produce less fruit but more concentrated flavors; that is the character of older vines. The very typical Saint-Émilion blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon sees a bit more new oak than is typical at this price point; the Bertrand family, long-time owners, clearly see this wine as having the backbone for it. Half new and half one-year-old barrels generate more spice and weight

Chateau Courac Cotes du Rhone
We might presume that most of the top Old World sites are multi-generational legacies, remaining in the hands of ossified aristocrats served by dedicated minions. I suppose that’s true in some places. But most of the exciting things happen in Europe are the result of new blood; new folks like Joséphine and Frédéric Arnaud who took over this property in 1995. Northwest of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Arnauds have more than 200 acres of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, the latter a grape that has only, in the last two or three decades, become more typical of Côtes du Rhone blends. Again, it helps to add some new blood to these old places.

Chateau de la Brede Blanc
There was a time when Bordeaux Blanc was a joke. Then the 2000s happened and suddenly all the white wine from Bordeaux was delicious, they are better than ever. This blend of 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon and 20% Muscadelle is classic and still very modern and completely compelling. It’s been matured in new French oak so it’s not simple. Bring oysters to the party or even grilled fish.

Chateau Eyquem Le Point de Mire
We don’t usually call wine sexy… but this one leaves us no choice. Deep ruby red, smooth and velvety, with aromas of violet, ripe fruit, and just a hint of smoke — it’s Bordeaux turning on the charm. One glass in and you’re loosening your buttons. Two glasses in and you’re wondering why you wore pants… and suddenly Côtes-de-Bourg feels less like a region and more like a lifestyle choice.

Chateau Franc Pipeau
If the Bertrand name sounds familiar, it should — their sister estates Château Carteau and Château Vieux Lescours have been breakout stars for us. With the price finally right, we’re excited to bring you Franc Pipeau, from a family that’s been making wine in Saint-Émilion since 1850 across five generations on prized clay-limestone slopes. Jacques Bertrand even served as President of both the Saint-Émilion Wine Syndicate and the Jurade de Saint-Émilion — serious credentials. The wine is classic Right Bank Bordeaux: 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested from 6.5 hectares in Saint-Hippolyte at the foot of the côte.
