Many discussions about terroir omit one crucial el

Many discussions about terroir omit one crucial element: the human labor that discovers and nurtures it. Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz or @cellerninortiz embody this belief in everything they do, from the hard manual work and biodynamic practices that have revitalized their vineyards to their humble and sensitive practices in the cellar. Grounded, expressive, generous, and balanced describe both their thrilling wines and the nature of Ester and Carles themselves.

If you haven’t tried Lebanese wines yet, @domain

If you haven’t tried Lebanese wines yet, @domainedestourelles Carignan is the place to start.

Tamlyn Currin of jancisrobinson.com says “[This is] one of the most gentle Carignans I’ve tasted... It has the rugged rasp of Carignan, but it’s wrapped in cashmere. Strikingly delicate and translucent for a Carignan, yet losing nothing of Carignan’s gypsy-wild, windswept devil-may-care.”

The process can be just as - if not more - importa

The process can be just as - if not more - important than the end result at times. In the Priorat, Terroir al Limit knows that to keep their wine at top level the devil is in the details. This beautiful quail dish is emphasized with a detailed broth base and paired with @terroirallimit Les Manyes

We don’t think it’s a coincidence that Nationa

We don’t think it’s a coincidence that National Grenache Day also falls on the birthday of Daphne Glorian, mastermind at Clos i Terrasses. Happy birthday to a foundational producer in our portfolio, pictured here with her biodynamic tractors.

If you were to map the DNA of European Cellars, on

If you were to map the DNA of European Cellars, one of its building blocks would be the ancient slate soils of the Priorat and the talented winemakers that inhabit it. They have faced these hard soils and the challenging climate to create uniquely expressive wines that have gone from obscurity to world renown in the last three decades.

Aware that many of the benchmark wines from the Priorat were out of reach for most wine drinkers due to scarcity and price, Eric Solomon created Black Slate over 20 years ago as a collaboration with four estates that he admired. Jordi Vidal of @laconreriascaladei , Joan Sangenís of @cellercalpla , Damia del Castillo of @_masalta , and August Vicent of @cellercecilio

The goal with Black Slate has always been to showcase something unique in the relationship between the winemaker and their home. Perhaps it would have been easier to make just one Black Slate wine, but where's the fun in that? Which is your favorite?

Happy Labor Day! While harvest is in full swing at

Happy Labor Day! While harvest is in full swing at @burgans_usa , we are fully enjoying the fruits of their labor from vintages prior. Can you think of a better way to unwind?

As summer comes to a close, we begin to get a bala

As summer comes to a close, we begin to get a balance between me-time and everyone-else-but-me-time. Whether you choose to celebrate or indulge yourself, there’s nothing better than some dry, pink bubbles to have your back. Corail is our most popular and dependable sparkling wine, and for good reason. Its mineral freshness, hint of freshly picked strawberries, blissful bubbles, and touch of fresh herbs give you everything required to indulge and unwind. Françoise Flao seems to approve

The claim that Palomino and PX are neutral-flavor

The claim that Palomino and PX are neutral-flavor grapes is proven wrong with El Muelle – a wine with citrussy and tropical fruit flavors, lively chalky minerality, and a touch of herbal tanginess. Perhaps Palomino’s reputation could be re-evaluated if more growers in the region were trying as hard as Willy Peréz? Luckily for us, there’s a growing movement to rescue Vino de Pasto from the history books and re-enshrine it back into the DO.
