We Wish We Could Keep These For Ourselves

We try a lot of wine  — because hey, it’s a part of the job. And while we’re personally impressed by every single bottle on our shelves, sometimes we play favorites. Whether they’re insane value, mind-blowing drinking, or simply wines that fascinate us, these are the bottles we can’t get enough of. The ones that we wish we could keep for ourselves, but don’t. Because that’s the other part of the job: sharing good wine with you.

      Eric and Lyle Railsback are no strangers to the greats: inspired by Maxime Magnon in the Languedoc and Gang of Four in Beaujolais, this 100% Carignan is fermented partially by carbonic maceration. The result is a punchy, light-bodied, and totally crushable bottle that is a perfect match for a rich holiday meal or a summer barbeque.

      Among the great stars of Burgundy–Roulot, Coche Dury, and Lafon among them–there is no question in our minds that the name Génot Boulanger deserves just as much recognition. His whites are stupendous testaments to the greatness Chardonnay can achieve in Burgundy. Try it for a real treat.

      Guy Breton’s expertise started in his hometown of Morgon, but extends to the glorious, volcanic Côte de Brouilly appellation with a recent acquisition. Guy picks earlier than most, favoring freshness and elegance in his Beaujolais. This wine is floral, earthy, and oh so drinkable–yet with the complexity of truly fine wine. Enjoy it cool.

      Bénédicte Leroy boldly left her job as a physical education teacher to take over the family domaine after her father’s retirement. On a quest to practice “simple” winemaking, bringing forth the essence of the grapes, they’ve been farming organically for 30+ years, using zero dosage. The result is magical champagne.

      There are few reds more satisfying than a chewy and wild, charmingly rustic Bandol rouge. Alain Pascal’s Gros Noré Rouge is a textbook bottling that, despite its ability to age, is delicious to drink today. It highlights the rugged and feral, yet still somehow elegant character of old-vine Mourvèdre.

      Years ago one of Burgundy’s most renowned winemakers, Aubert de Villaine of DRC, made the region of Bouzeron famous. He established it as an AOC putting the spotlight on Burgundy’s other white grape: aligoté. This lovely wine is bright with aromas of Meyer lemons, white peach, and sea spray.
