Duval-Leroy’s Femme de Champagne

True to its name, Duval-Leroy’s ‘Femme de Champagne” is the brainchild of Carol Duval-Leroy and Sandrine Logette-Jardin. The former is one of Champagne’s few female Presidents, the latter one of its few female Head Winemakers. This is their rarest bottling, only made in the most spectacular years (just three vintages were made in the 1990s), and we’re thrilled to have sourced a limited quantity from the underrated 2000 vintage.

Saint Damien’s 2018 Gigondas 


In the difficult vintage of 2018, Joel Saurel, and son Romain who recently took over the winemaking made the tough decision to take the hit financially and still create the best wine they can; just less of it. They produced only two of their Gigondas cuvées: the base AOC Gigondas Vieilles Vignes and the La Louisiane. Old-vine Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Syrah combine for the most pleasantly fragrant vintage from this lovely domaine.

A Wine Spectator Top 100 Value Wine

Tasca d’Almerita’s Ghiaia Nera has been a staff favorite since it arrived in the spring. Made with Nerello Mascalese, a native Sicilian grape that is quickly developing a cult-like following, it has been one of the staff’s go-to reds for pairing with both Italian and Mediterranean food. So it came as no surprise when Wine Spectator recently included it on its list of Top 100 Value Wines of 2020.

In Stock Now:

Tasca d’Almerita Tenuta Tascante ‘Ghiaia Nera’ Etna Rosso, Sicily 2016 750ML ($24.95) $16.60 special, 19 bottles in stock now
