Wine

Matthiasson makes some of our favorite California wines - period. For them, winemaking is an extension of farming, so their wines are meant to be refreshing & complement food. Their Linda Vista Chardonnay is pure honey, apple & peach on the nose with a fleshy, balanced palate.

Carema is tucked away in the mountainous northern reaches of Piedmont, where Luigi Ferrando grows his ethereal Nebbiolo. “White Label” is a gorgeous, flowing bottling that is known for its incredible perfume of rose petal and licorice. This vibrant, seductive wine is released after 4 years of bottle aging.

You know you love Daniel Chotard’s Sancerre Blanc, but did you know that he is making some beautiful Pinots as well? Fresh bing cherries, peppery tannins, and a smidge of oak makes this bottle perfect for any gathering, whether socially distant or a date night in.

We can’t say enough great things about Matthiasson. As seasoned professionals of the sustainable food & farming movement, their wine is a reflection of that with terroir being a central focus. Their Napa Valley Cabernet is totally vibrant, abundant with dark red fruit & is asking for a steak alongside it.

Miniscule production, handmade grower bubbly is all the rage. This bottling of mineral-driven Crémant, though, may just be our rarest bottle of bubbly. Only 200 cases make it into the US per vintage and it is downright stunning with notes of toast, ripe apple, and minerals. Enjoy this special rarity!

100% Pinot d’Anuis, this is a light, delicate, low alcohol red. From a tiny, stony hill off of the Loire Valley, this is a pretty obscure bottling. Tart cranberry notes mix with white pepper and a bracing, food-friendly acidity. Try this with poultry dishes- fried, BBQ, or spicy. It’s versatile enough to handle them all.

If you’re into natural wine, Benoît Lahaye is a name to know. We’re obsessed with his terroir-driven & sultry bubbles. Farmed biodynamically, in one of the most challenging regions to do so, this special Pinot Noir-dominated Brut Nature is our go-to for oysters and raw seafood.

Come off trail with us to Côte Roannaise. We’re happy to share that we’ve got our hands on a few bottles from Vincent Giraudon so that you can get a glimpse of what this little-known area is all about. Vincent farms a tiny parcel and vinifies with his good friend Romain Paire, whose Domaine Pothiers is one of the most visible reference points for the Côte Roannaise. He’s a young winemaker drawing eyes back to the region with his minimal intervention approach and elegant results.

This declassified white comes from old Aligoté vines farmed organically and biodynamically. It’s rare to find the variety here: if any white is planted, it’s usually Chardonnay or Viognier. But Vincent had conviction that his soils would be perfect with Aligoté. The tiny parcel (just half a hectare) yields uncommonly delicious wine that is audacious and alive, with evocative orchard fruit aromas and a balanced body thanks to 10 months aging on the lees.

Come off trail with us to Côte Roannaise. This secret garden of the Loire Valley is an under-the-radar hot-bed for stunning Gamay, but rarely makes it onto store shelves.

Delicious, drinkable Gamay gets a stony mineral backbone from the granite studded soils of Côte Roannaise. This is classic Gamay through a crisp new lens — it’s pure pleasure to drink, and reminds us of the audacious, natural Beaujolais winemakers we know and love. Bright violets and berries jump out of the glass.

Ellison Estate Vineyards are located right in Stowe, producing some of our favorite local wines at the moment. Bright, tart, and rustic, this lightly effervescent pet-nat is made from 100% marquette grapes, adapted perfectly for the cold Vermont climate. But don’t worry, this fun and fizzy wine is perfect for drinking in hot Vermont summers as well!

With straw color reflections, the nose reveals itself through white flower fragrances and a hint of anise. The complex mouth is fresh, elegant, and mildly nutty with a long, mineral finish. This is classic Corsican Vermentino at its best, from one of the island’s most committed producers.

Finally, we have a new Chianti to satisfy your thirst. 

Of all the well-priced wines we carry, value Chianti Classico always sells out the quickest. There’s just something about it — rustic, with notes of game and leather, but opulent, rippling with waves of spice and cherry. A solid Chianti can make a whole meal.

And because of that, we’re always running low. Until today. Introducing Lo Scultore: our very own Chianti. This cuvée was made for the Dedalus community by the Corsini family of Tuscany, one of the oldest noble families in Italy.

It's classic in all the right ways, expertly made by a family that has specialized in Tuscan wine and agriculture for centuries. This Riserva, aged 4-8 months longer than a Chianti Classico, deepens and melds savory herbs, red fruits, and grounding mineral notes into a warm, richly dyed tapestry that pulls you deeper into its silk threads with every sip.
