Our sale is still going today with these two bottles, which are both 20% off all weekend!

"Gisele" is a white Bordeaux by .des.moussis , from biodynamically farmed 30 year old Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon vines in Grézillac's clay and limestone.  They don't get much more natural and low-intervention than this, where just a third of the harvested grapes are macerated for two months before fermenting and maturing in earthenware jugs for half a year.  Austere yet approachable, this elegant lady will sparkle when paired with seafood on a day like today!

is run by two sisters in the southwest of Languedoc, where the weather is warm and blends like this reign supreme -- Carignan, Cinsauly, Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah are all present here -- much like we saw yesterday with our featured bottles by .mylene.bru .  Faugères has schist soil, which is odd for the region, but it does wonders for late-ripening Mourvedre!  This is the opposite of lovely Gisele: rugged, brambly, and rustic.  This might feel a bit too bold for the heat, but this is a match made in heaven for grilled vegetables or a homemade pizza.

Our countdown continues today with a duet from Languedoc's .mylene.bru . This small property and its vineyards in the middle of the hot, dry Mediterranean climate of southern France are dense with vegetation beyond the vines and the soil is a combination of old seabeds and calcareous clay and gravel, isolated from other vineyards for a perfectly minimal, low-intervention cultivation. And that's just the tip of the natural iceberg at Mylène Bru!

Far Ouest is intense in color and complex, a blend of the domaine's classically Languedoc grapes including Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan among others. It is aromatic and surprisingly delicate, with touches of ripe red and black fruits and camphor, and is a perfect match to the grill on a hot afternoon like this.

Rita is a single-varietal Carignan -- something we don't see enough of if I'm being honest! -- from 60+ year old vines. Whole-berry maceration maintains a bright, fresh fruit note, and there's a bouquet of fresh and dried herbs throughout, in a beautifully deep purple pour that is striking in the glass. Barbeque chicken, anyone?

Both are 20% off all weekend!

Happy Saturday, and what a gorgeous one it is! Today's come to us from the US, which in itself was once a revolutionary concept not so long ago. The Judgement of Paris gave our winemaking legitimacy on the world's stage, paving the way for wines like the ones we're showing off today, whether they be vitis vinifera like the former or hybrids we've cultivated as our own like the latter.

From comes Abandoned Bicycle, an aged and complex skin-contact Muscat that is racy with acidity and oceanic salinity that is hitting oh-so-right on a day like today. From , we're featuring Water & Sky, a Frontenac that is juicy with an earthy depth and grounded with acidity -- this is a North American grape through and through.

Both are 20% off all weekend while we celebrate our 5th year!

This store was founded on the principle that growing grapes and making wine without chemicals is a revolutionary act. In that act, the winegrowers we support not only deny the petrostate and resist the cult of mass production--they allow for the kind of variability that is the only recipe for unique experiences.

Over the next several days, we will be highlighting individual wines that express the revolutionary spirit that we care about. These specific wines are 20% off for a limited time.

Pinard et Filles make astounding wines without any additives (zero sulfur) on the shores of Lake Memphrémagog, up north of the border in Québec.

Meanwhile, in the Republic of Georgia: while Pinard et Filles has shown in recent years what is possible in a relatively new winegrowing region, the Nikalas Marani represents a Georgian winemaking tradition that goes back 8000 years--almost to the time of the Agricultural Tradition!

The weather leaves something to be desired, but these bottles certainly do not! These endlessly enjoyable low-intervention reds by are made with North American grapes harvested in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and are certified kosher! Passover starts tonight, and featuring a line bearing such certification is a rare pleasure for a store like ours. .f is pouring Camuna Cellars Norton (on the right) today, so come say hello and have a taste!
