Ulysses
 
You’ve heard of Christian Moueix’s Petrus, an illustrious Bordeaux domaine in Pomerol, and Dominus, a multi-award-winning Cabernet, but are you familiar with his Oakville estate that’s just as adored by critics? Ulysses is a single vineyard owned by Christian Moueix located in Oakville at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountain Range. Just like Dominus, the Ulysses vineyard is organically farmed with no irrigation, no small feat given climate change.

We’ve secured an allotment of the 2019 arriving Tuesday, but as you can expect quantities are in short supply. Secure you allotment before someone else does…

Lafon Three Ways at 10% Off! 6-1-25

 
 
Lafon family team
 

Few names in Burgundy command the same quiet reverence as Dominique Lafon. As the steward of his family’s historic domaine, Comte Lafon, Dominique has long been a benchmark producer in Meursault and beyond—crafting white Burgundies that balance richness with piercing minerality. But his story doesn’t stop there. Today, through three distinctive labels—Comte Lafon, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, and his personal label Dominique Lafon—he offers a remarkably complete vision of Burgundy, from Côte de Beaune grand crus to the value-rich hills of the Mâconnais.

The flagship estate, Comte Lafon, is centered in Meursault, where Dominique has overseen a quiet revolution—converting the vineyards to biodynamic farming in the 1990s and dialing in a style that marries the power of the terroir with extraordinary precision.

Campania
 
Campania, one of Italy’s oldest wine regions, has been famous for its wines since the Greeks settled it. Located near Naples, there are numerous references to the quality of the wines in Roman writings. Yet despite its history, lauded grape varieties, and world-class wines, it is considered an obscure region today.
 
Campania’s crown jewel is the indigenous red wine grape Aglianico. Though they are aromatically different, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico is a thick-skinned red variety that creates full-bodied wines with rich tannins, ample acidity, and plenty of aging potential. The DOCG region of Taurasi, a subregion of Campania, it’s the place to look for the best examples.
