Rare Wines,
DISCOVERED
We import high-quality wines from around the world to offer a unique selection not found in big-box stores.
Italy
Globally Curated
There are more than 500 native wine varieties, of which at least 175 make up Italy’s everyday wines. Thus, Italy is one of the hardest countries to master! Despite the complexity, if you taste the primary wines from the larger regions of Northwest, Northeast, Central, and Southern Italy, you will gain an understanding of what to expect, and more importantly, what wine regions you’d like to explore more!
France
The wines of France have had a profound influence on new and developing wine countries. So, even if you haven’t had a French wine before, you’ve had one inspired by France. For example, the varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay originated here, and the French versions have a distinct character unlike any other. Tasting French wine offers a valuable perspective on the evolution of modern wine.
Spain
Spanish wines feature a dichotomy between bold fruit and dusty minerality that makes them fall between old and new world styles. The country boasts the highest vineyard acreage in the world, but yields are relatively low given the wide vine spacing and limited water use. Spain is the origin country of several top varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Monastrell. There are other varieties like Petit Verdot, that seem to perform better here than in their country of origin.
Argentina
The majority of Argentina’s vineyards are located at the base of the Andes Mountains, in an area with both ample sunshine and snowmelt for irrigation. These conditions result in plump, deep-colored wines of which Malbec is the most important variety. High elevation vineyards (upwards of 7,500 ft!) have cool nighttime temperatures which help to maintain acidity in the wines. Beyond Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and an aromatic white called Torrontés are all well-worth exploring.
