🍁 October W**e Club 🍂 Drink Better

This month we’re featuring three very different w**es from France and Hungary, including a 13-year-old red Burgundy that you won’t see in any ole w**e club 🎃✨

One of our favorite things about w**e club is introducing our members to interesting w**es that you won’t see everyday. Seasonality plays a role, too, taking into consideration what might pair well with seasonal flavors. And, this month is an opportunity to drink something with a little age on it.

The October lineup:

🎃 Domaine Saint Damien Côtes du Rhône La Bouveau 2024
🎃 Domaine Joseph Roty Marsannay 2013
🎃 Balassa Tokaji Furmint 2024

The Joseph Roty is especially exciting because it’s not every day you find a beautifully aged Burgundy in a $99 w**e club! This bottle alone retails for $55. We’re also featuring a delicious Syrah-driven Rhône red from one of our favorite producers in Gigondas, and a dry Furmint from Hungary’s historic Tokaj region, which I’m fairly certain will be a new grape and country for most!

With our w**e club you get: in-depth information about each w**e and producer, custom food pairings and recipes for each w**e, access to the incredible community we’ve built, and invites to our limited classes taught by Steven, a MASTER SOMMELIER 🏆

Three bottles for $99, selected by sommeliers who genuinely love finding great w**es to share with you.

Chilly weather doesn’t mean white w**e can’t be enjoyed! White w**e hits different in the fall and winter 🍂🍁✨

It’s a sad feeling when you want something crisp and refreshing but you forgot to replenish the stock. Don’t let that happen and remember to grab a bottle next time you’re in!

There’s a chill in the air but that does not mean you can’t drink white w**e in the fall or winter! Don’t neglect to keep a couple of bottles of white w**e at home to enjoy while you’re making dinner or to just sip on anytime!

White w**e hits different in cool weather! 👀 peep our website for the live shop inventory!

🍕 PIZZA + W**E 🍷 MEET THE W**EMAKER!

Join Rob Le Du at Joy Hill on Wednesday, October 21, from 5–7 PM for a free tasting with William Allen of Two Shepherds W**ery!

William makes some seriously compelling, small-production California w**es, working with lesser-known grape varieties, historic organic vineyards, and a minimal-intervention approach to w**emaking.

Steven actually helped him with his first vintage in 2011!

Come taste his w**es, chat with the man behind them, and learn a little about what makes Two Shepherds special. The tasting is completely free, and we’ll have some snacks on hand, but we highly recommend ordering one of Joy Hill’s delicious pizzas while you’re there!

All w**e orders placed during the event will be fulfilled by us at Denver W**e Merchant.

No tickets, no reservations, just great w**e, good company, and pizza. See you Wednesday!

Cozy Cold Weather Dishes & W**e Pairings 🍷🍂

Fall and winter call for some of my favorite food and w**e pairings. Maybe it’s my Eastern European roots, but I’m practically programmed to crave hearty, warming comfort food when the temperature drops.

Slow braises, caramelized vegetables, earthy mushrooms, rich sauces, melted cheese, aromatic herbs… what’s not to love?

Great pairings work for all sorts of reasons, whether it’s acidity cutting through richness, complementary flavors, or contrasting textures. And hearty food doesn’t always mean big red w**e!

Here are some combinations I’d be especially excited to eat and drink this season.

🍷 Red W**e–Braised Short Ribs with Creamy Polenta 🔸 Northern Rhône Syrah

🍷 Duck Confit Cassoulet with White Beans & Sausage 🔸 Bandol

🍷 Coq au Vin with Mushrooms & Pearl Onions 🔸 Red Burgundy

🍷 Rosemary-Braised Lamb Shanks with White Beans 🔸 Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Southern Rhône

🍷 Osso Buco with Saffron Risotto 🔸 Nebbiolo!

🍷 Wild Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan & Thyme 🔸 Burgundy/Nebbiolo/Jura

🍷 Slow-Cooked Beef Ragù with Pappardelle 🔸 Sangiovese

🍷 Tartiflette with Reblochon & Lardons 🔸 Savoie Jacquère

🍷 Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Brown Butter & Sage 🔸 Loire Chenin Blanc

🍷 French Onion Soup with Gruyère 🔸 Jura Savagnin or Blanc de Noirs Ch*****ne

🍷 Hungarian Beef Goulash with Buttered Egg Noodles 🔸 Austrian Blaufränkisch

🍷 Cider-Braised Pork Shoulder with Apples & Cabbage 🔸 German or Alsatian Riesling

🍷 Lamb Shepherd’s Pie with Golden Mashed Potatoes 🔸 Rioja Reserva or Aged Bordeaux

🍷 Beef Bourguignon 🔸 Gevrey-Chambertin

Which one(s) will you make?

I poke fun at w**e reps because I was one! Steven actually was a w**e rep at one point, too. I wasn’t a very good rep because I’m not a salesperson at heart. I come from a hospitality and service background and I always enjoyed taking care of people more than making the sale. To me, the sale is a result of taking care of someone. I didn’t last long as a rep.

Back in 2013, I sold w**e in San Francisco for a random tiny company and met Steven while he was working at Eno W**e Bar.

One evening I showed up to Eno and they were having a w**emaker event featuring Sean Thackrey himself. There was one spot at the table with Sean and Steven so I joined them and got to know Sean and his epic w**es, which were the most artistic expression of w**e I had ever had up until that point.

A quote from him I love: “The absence of defects is not the presence of virtues.” —Sean Thackrey

Steven asked me if I wanted to go get some discount sushi and the rest is history!

🍂🍁 𝓞𝓬𝓽𝓸𝓫𝓮𝓻 𝓑𝓾𝓻𝓰𝓾𝓷𝓭𝔂 𝓒𝓵𝓾𝓫 🎃 plus a little poem

This month’s releases feature producers that deserve to be in your cellar - which is really why we started the Burgundy Club in the first place. Not all producers are created equal, but Burgundy is home to more ultra top-tier producers than any other w**e region, arguably. Still, the majority of w**es from Burgundy aren’t at the level that we’re looking for with these club selections, and we hope that becomes more apparent over time.

🔸This is the first release of the “Grand Cru” club and also a particularly strong 1er Cru club release🔸

🔹Burgundy “Grand Cru” Club

🔹White W**e: Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin “La Princee” 2023
🔹Red W**e: François Mikulski Volnay 1er Cru Santenots du Milieu 2024

◽️Burgundy 1er Cru Club

▫️White W**e: Maison Gautheron d’Anost Ladoix 1er Cru Les Grechons 2024
▫️Red W**e: Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Bourgogne Rouge La Nouroy 2020

𝙋𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 🍂

Crisp air drifts through amber trees,
Burgundy glowing ruby in the fading light;
the season asks for nothing more
than to linger here a little while.

For life is richest in its smallest luxuries—
a perfect glass, a golden hour, an autumn breeze;
nothing grand, nothing promised,
just the quiet pleasure of this moment.

🥇🥇🥈

Denver W**e Merchant just received the W**e-Searcher Retailer Awards for 2026/27!

🥇 Gold — Best European W**e List in Denver
🥇 Gold — Best French W**e List in Denver
🥈 Silver — Best Overall W**e List in Denver

When we opened DWM six years ago, we wanted to create a w**e shop that reflected the w**es we genuinely love, with an emphasis on thoughtful producers, smaller estates, and bottles you would find on the w**e list of the best restaurants in the world. We have an emphasis on European w**es, but try to represent the best of every region.

It’s pretty cool to see that recognized on an international platform like W**e-Searcher, which we constantly reference when buying w**e to make sure our prices are competitive with the national market and not just locally. That’s another reason we tend towards smaller producers ⇰ a w**e that is available in hundreds of case quantities is inherently large scale production with big national brand deals that we can’t compete with (︶︹︺)

A huge thank you to our little team, the importers and producers we work with, and especially all of you who continue to trust us to put good w**e in your hands.

🍷🥂💛

★★★ SANDRONE TASTING ★★★

Join us in the shop on Tuesday for a tasting of one of the great estates of Barolo.

Tuesday 9/29 🔹 4–6 PM
Denver W**e Merchant
FREE — 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞

Our friend Ben Stewart from Giuilana W**e Company will be there with the w**ery’s Export Manager! Come nerd out with us.

Luciano Sandrone’s story began humbly: he had no inherited vineyards, made his first w**es in his family garage, and purchased his first parcel in Cannubi Boschis in 1977. His breakthrough came when an American buyer tasted his 1978 Barolo at Vinitaly and bought nearly the entire production ✸ just 1,500 bottles.

Today, Sandrone has grown into one of Piedmont’s most recognized estates while remaining a family operation. The philosophy is still centered on native varieties, exceptional vineyard sites, and w**es that balance the traditions of Barolo with the precision that helped define the estate’s modern reputation. Le Vigne, for example, deliberately preserves the old Barolo tradition of blending Nebbiolo from multiple villages and vineyard sites, while Aleste comes from the Cannubi Boschis vineyard. It’s named after Luciano’s grandchildren: ALEssia + STEfano = ALESTE.

We’ll be pouring:
❉ Sandrone Dolcetto d’Alba 2024
❉ Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2024
❉ Sandrone Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore 2024
❉ Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2022
❉ Sandrone Barolo Aleste 2022

This is a seriously good lineup. See you Tuesday!
