Since the mid 1990s, the domaine has followed the principles of lutte raisonnée (reasoned fight) in its farming practices, plowing rather than spraying herbicides, forgoing the use of chemical fertilizers, and being conscientious in its...
Clos Saint Jacques’s 4.2 acres were planted in 1952 in a postage stamp of a vineyard that faces due east on a steep slope (this enclosed vineyard should not be confused with Rully’s larger Les Saint Jacques vineyard to the south). The wine is...

Historically one never turned to the Macon for rich, character-filled white Burgundies. They looked further up the Cotes to find them. But a new generation of vintner and a little help from a changing climate has turned appellations like...
One of my favorite spots in all of Italy, Carso, or Karst, as it’s called on the other side of the Slovenian border a bare kilometer away, is a world onto itself. The easternmost part of Friuli, it’s not exactly Italy, but not Slovenia either. Not only...
This vintage yields a more restrained style after the generous character of the 2019 vintage. The 2020 wines are impressively fresh with balanced alcohol and aromas, a fresher, more Atlantic character, and good acidity. It was an...

Albert Boxler is, of course, one of Alsace’s most exclusive and famous producers. The venerable Boxler name has been a fixture on the landscape of Niedermorschwihr in the Haut-Rhin area of Alsace since 1673 when Jean Boxler’s ancestors moved there from...
You know the world has become a strange place when an importer won’t sell you a case of Chardonnay unless you also purchase the same winery’s 100-point scoring Barolo! But that was the case this past week as I tried to pry loose some of Aldo...
The nice thing about loving wine is that monogamy is not required. Your beloved Meursault just doesn’t care if you step out on it once in a while with a more decadent bottle of California Chardonnay, nor will your Vosne-Romanee mind if you bring home a...

Whenever I speak with someone just returned from South Africa, the first thing they say is ‘I didn’t know Chenin Blanc was such a big thing there! It’s really good!’ Most didn’t know that, in fact, Chenin is the...
The discovery of Cornarea was the product of several years hard research in the Langhe- a search for an Arneis we could recommend to our customers that the locals there themselves loved. I looked at what winemakers ordered when I ate out with them, what...
Sometimes, when it’s brutally hot, there’s nothing better than closing your eyes and imagining you are on a sailboat afloat on the cerulean sea, the snappy wind and salty air in your face. Can’t get to the Bay this weekend?...
