Last time our Gangloff off-menu specials sold out real quick. Good news is – we managed to find a new parcel to offer! Small quantity only – so be quick before the wines sell out again!

Yves and Mathilde Gangloff are icons of the Rhône Valley, particularly in Condrieu, Cote-Rotie, and St.-Joseph. Their micro-domaine is characterized by meticulous vineyard practices and limited production. The steep, cool terroirs they cultivate, rich in granite and schist, allow for the creation of exceptional wines that truly reflect their origins. In the cellar, Yves employs traditional methods, using wild yeasts and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that are vibrant and full of personality, showcasing classic Cote-Rotie and Condrieu aromas. Their wines are not just collectibles; they offer captivating experiences for wine lovers.

Please note that these wines are offered as a pre-arrival special.

Celebrate love❤️ this season with a bottle from Domaine Lionnet - this week we spotlight Domaine Lionnet from Northern Rhone, a husband-and-wife team deeply connected to their winemaking craft.

Corinne Lionnet’s family has been growing grapes in Cornas since 1575, enriching their heritage. Since taking over in 2007, Corinne and her husband, Ludovic Izerable, have crafted exceptional wines that have garnered acclaim, with Josh Raynolds noting they produce "some of the best traditionally styled wines in Cornas."👏👏👏👏👏

Domaine Lionnet spans 2.2 hectares in Cornas and 1.8 hectares in Saint-Joseph, featuring steep, south-facing slopes where old vines thrive (some over 100 years old). The unique terroir of Cornas, characterized by granite soils and an ideal climate, allows for the production of concentrated, expressive Syrah. Their organic (with Ecocert) and biodynamic practices foster a harmonious relationship with the environment.

All work is done by hand. Using whole clusters and native yeast, their low-intervention winemaking in large, mostly old oak barrels (and some amphoras) results in powerful, structured wines. These elegant creations reveal layers of floral, herbal, and dark fruit 🍇 flavors, complemented by subtle minerality, making them beautiful, refined, and age-worthy.

To kick off the year, we’re excited to introduce an exceptional selection of wines. Presenting the 2023 vintage from Hofgut Falkenstein, a boutique and highly regarded German winery in Saar . Known for its classic, bright, and complex Rieslings crafted using ultra-traditional methods, the 2023 vintage is described as one of the finest✨ since the magical 2016.

Their Rieslings burst with mineral tension and vibrant acidity, with even the sweeter wines feeling drier than expected due to their refined touch. Low in alcohol yet rich in complexity, these wines showcase the unique nuances of their terroir.

We’re excited to introduce you to Domaine Castagnier, a beloved label known for its captivating reds with exceptional concentration and structure. After visiting the estate in Burgundy last summer and meeting Jérôme Castagnier, we secured some of their outstanding wines for our agency portfolio.

🎉To celebrate, we're offering you a special 10% discount on all Castagnier wines🎉! Experience the remarkable craftsmanship that we admire. Plus, check out our mixed case featuring 6 selected bottles at a fabulous 15% off👏🏻. We hope you love them as much as we do!

Today, we’re excited to offer two wines from the 2016 vintage and two from the 2018 vintage from Maison Camille Giroud, all at special prices. 🍷✨ If you love Burgundy reds with bright bouquets, silky tannins, and fruit-forward profiles, don’t miss these—you'll find them as loose bottles at the best prices in town. (🎅 It’s still not too late to find the perfect gift or treat yourself! 🎁)

Founded in 1865, Maison Camille Giroud is renowned for its commitment to quality. Originally a négociant, it focused on sourcing exceptional musts and wines from the Côte d’Or. In 1989, the focus shifted to in-house production using grapes from independent growers and its own vineyards.

Acquired in 2001 by a consortium of American investors, including Ann Colgin, the maison embraced innovative techniques under winemaker David Croix. This evolution transformed the wines from overly tannic to more approachable and fruit-driven, while still allowing for graceful aging.

Since 2016, Carel Voorhuis has focused on expressing terroir and refining the winemaking process. He emphasizes reduced sulfur use and advocates for whole-bunch fermentation, enhancing the wines' elegance and complexity.

Tracing its roots back to 1870, when Barolo wine was first emerging in the Langhe, the Barale family has been pivotal in shaping this celebrated wine. Today, Sergio Barale and his daughters, Eleonora and Gloria, manage 20 hectares of vineyards in Barolo and Barbaresco.

Barolo wine reflects the unique Nebbiolo grape and its terroir. Barale Fratelli emphasizes that true Barolo expresses itself variably from hill to hill, showcasing the region's geological diversity. Their historic vineyards in Barolo, Castellero, and Cannubi produce elegant wines, while those from Bussia in Monforte d’Alba offer more structure.

Their winemaking follows traditional methods, featuring long macerations and aging in large, neutral Slavonian or French oak tonneau, avoiding barrique. Their Barolos are perfumed and delicate with a linear structure, showcasing vibrant acidity and a complex bouquet.

The Barale family embraces vintage character, reflecting their terroir in each bottle. Their cellar practices include native yeast fermentation and bottling without fining or filtration, resulting in high-quality wines.

As holiday shopping heats up, we have a selection of newly arrived bottles. While the list is limited, each wine is exceptional for celebrations across various budgets. We hope you find something you love below.😉

First up is the Champagne Lassaigne La Colline Inspirée Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs NV from Montgueux, offers freshness with notes of white fruit and citrus, enhanced by brioche aromas, a rich texture, and a mineral finish.

For whites, we have the Mount Mary Triolet White Blend 2004 from Yarra Valley. If you prefer Burgundian whites, we feature Coche-Dury Bourgogne Chardonnay 2021, with mingled notes of flowers, apples, and pears, and a bright palate with chamomile hints. The mature Domaine Henri Boillot Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2005, nearly 20 years old, is elegant and clean.

For reds, the Cullen Diana Madeline, Margaret River 2001, is a top vintage, showcasing a polished and harmonious expression with enticing aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cedar, and vanilla, along with fine-grained tannins. The Domaine Dujac Morey St Denis 2005 presents black cherry and smokiness on the nose, with a deep palate and silky texture. Consider the Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cherbaudes Vieilles Vignes Premier Cru 2020, which is described as “the finest rendition of this site” by critic William Kelley.

For Grand Cru options, we have Domaine Dujac Echezeaux Grand Cru 2009, with a complex bouquet of red plums, cherries, and fresh thyme, plus an intensely flavored palate. Alternatively, the Domaine Arnoux Lachaux Echezeaux Les Rouges Grand Cru 2019 bursts with wild berries, plums, and spices, providing a deep, layered experience.

HKTDC Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair 2024 is in full swing, and we’re pleased to be part of it at booth 3D-C13 from Nov 7-8 for trade and open to the public on Nov 9(10am-6pm), at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. This year marks the debut of the “Sommeliers’ Picks🧐🏆”, organized by HKTDC, where esteemed sommeliers curate a selection of their favourite wines.

Three distinguished sommeliers are judging this year's picks: Mr. Arnaud Bardary MS, Runner-up Best Sommelier of UK 2015 and Runner-up World Best Young Sommelier 2012; Mr. Carlito Chiu, 2024 Tatler Dining’s Best Sommelier; and Mr. Reeze Choi, the first Chinese to reach the top three as the second runner-up in the ASI Best Sommelier of the World Competition 2023.

Grenache, a key player in Chateauneuf-du-Pape (CNDP), shines both solo and in blends, contributing to rich, complex wines.

This Southern Rhone appellation is known for its unique terroir, with galets that enhance grape ripeness.

Jean-Marie's winemaking philosophy emphasizes elegance and finesse over opulence. Collaborating closely with renowned oenologist Philippe Cambié, he adopts a meticulous approach to fermentation, keeping different parcels separate to highlight their unique characteristics. This careful method results in wines that burst with refreshing balance and vibrant fruit flavors, often drawing comparisons to Burgundy.

Critics like Jeb Dunnuck praise their elegance, noting, “These wines always lean towards the more elegant, finesse-driven end of the spectrum.”

Similarly, Josh Raynolds encourages wine lovers to explore Royer’s offerings, highlighting their “superb bang for the buck” and delightful resemblance to high-quality Burgundy.

For those who’re eager to explore the soul of German wines, look no further than Weingut Zehnthof Theo Luckert. It is an organic winery nestled in Sulzfeld, Germany, within the renowned Franken wine region. Managed by brothers Ulrich and Wolfgang, along with Wolfgang's son Philipp, the winery operates from a historic tithe house dating back to 1558. The Luckert family dedicates approximately 50% of their vineyard area to Silvaner, a grape variety emblematic of the region.

Silvaner, or Sylvaner, is a distinguished grape in the Franken region known for its exceptional dry wines. It thrives in clay-limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality. With vibrant acidity and flavors of citrus, green apple, and floral notes, Franken Silvaners are full-bodied and refreshing. Their versatile profile makes them ideal for pairing with seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

Uniquely, the Luckerts cultivate all four varieties of Silvaner: yellow, green, blue, and red—the only winery to do so! Committed to organic farming (certified since 2009), their practices promote soil health, allowing the true essence of the terroir to shine through.

The winery employs spontaneous fermentation and aging on full yeast in traditional Spessart oak barrels, resulting in elegant wines with flavors of melon, quince, and pear, all supported by a delicate mineral backbone.

Zehnthof Luckert's wines are celebrated for their balance, finesse, and extraordinary texture, often compared to prestigious white Burgundies.

Maconnais wines offer exceptional quality at accessible prices✨, making them ideal for those eager to explore high-caliber Burgundy. A new generation of winemakers, like Frantz and Caroline, is elevating the region's reputation.

Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau is an up-and-coming star in the Maconnais, founded by the talented husband-and-wife team of Frantz Chagnoleau and Caroline Gon. Their journey began in 2009 with a modest 3.5 hectares in the Saint-Véran appellation, and today they have expanded to 6.8 hectares, including prized plots in Pouilly-Fuissé and Viré-Clessé.

Frantz brings a wealth of experience from his time under renowned winemakers Anne-Claude Leflaive and Olivier Merlin, while Caroline, formerly head winemaker at Héritiers du Comte Lafon, adds her impressive expertise to the mix. Together, they are dedicated to crafting wines that authentically reflect the unique characteristics of their vineyards. Their commitment to showcasing the region's potential is evident in their organic practices, enhancing wine quality while honoring the land. They also embrace traditional methods, such as manual harvesting, ensuring every grape is treated with care.

With each bottle, Frantz and Caroline invite wine lovers to explore the depth and complexity of their beautiful terroirs, making their wines a must-try for anyone seeking genuine expressions of Burgundy.

"I completely understand why Josh (Raynolds) was so enthused by Thévenet – these wines quietly blew me away." - Neal Martin, Vinous.com

Born into a winemaking family, Thevenet honed his skills through an apprenticeship with local luminaries. He spent 7 years working under Georges Descombes, and 5 years as the right-hand man of Jean Foillard, two natural wine masters of Beaujolais. With this invaluable experience, Thevenet started his own estate in 2012, inheriting his grandfather's vineyards with vines ranging from 40 to 150 years old.

Thevenet's wines combine the traditional and the modern, reflecting his respect for the region's heritage and his desire to push Beaujolais forward. His old-vine cuvées showcase the classic, structured style of the appellation, while his wines from younger vines exhibit a more lifted, contemporary profile.

Beyond the renowned Pinot Noirs of Burgundy, exciting alternatives can be found in Germany, New Zealand, and Canada. From Germany, standouts include the structured, age-worthy Jean Stodden from Ahr, the rare, complex Ziereisen from Baden, and the elegant Markus Molitor from Mosel. New Zealand's Folium Vineyard wines, crafted by Japanese-born winemaker Takaki Okada, offer a distinct European sensibility with vintages varying in profile. Finally, Tawse Winery in Canada's Niagara Escarpment produces a range of Pinot styles showcasing the region's terroir, from racy fruit-forward to silky and elegant. This diverse global selection provides an opportunity to explore the versatility of Pinot Noir.
