Bodini
Mendoza
A high-elevation desert, Mendoza has long sunny days, cold nights, low humidity, and natural irrigation from glacial snowmelt from the Andes Mountains. Bodini wines are fresh, fruit-forward, and a great introduction to Malbec.

Elqui Valley
Extraordinary wines from the driest desert on earth - experience the clear skies and high elevations of Chile’s Elqui Valley with every sip of Mayu.
Flight of the Condor
Mendoza, Argentina
The majestic condors soar above the Andes Mountains capturing in their flight Argentina’s finest wine appellations. Sourced from premier vineyards throughout Mendoza and thanks to the nuanced winemaking lending a fresh fruit profile and elegant structure, each wine in Flight of the Condor range shows varietally pure wines which excel in their regional of origin. The inaugural 2019 vintage, the second consecutive stellar vintage in Mendoza, provided optimal conditions in the high elevation vineyards from which the grapes were sourced. Winemaker, Tomas Hughes, recognizes vineyards with lineage in the region—mostly high elevation sites spanning both older regions such as Luján de Cuyo (over 100 years old) and newer wine growing regions such as Uco Valley. Flight of the Condor Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon are stunning examples of Mendoza as a whole.
Remírez de Ganuza
Rioja
Innovation in pursuit of balance and refinement are hallmarks of Remírez de Ganuza's history and style. Founded in 1989, the relatively new bodega has struck a chord in strategic vineyard selection and constant self-reflection, allowing for new ideas to proliferate in the winemaking process. The style of the bodega is consistenly graceful, while still maintaining a true Rioja character of expressive, bold flavors.
Domaine Guillot-Broux
Mâcon Cruzille
Located in Cruzille, Emmanuel’s family comes from five generations of Burgundian grape growers and barrel makers. Emmanuel’s grandfather was a pioneer in organic viticulture and created the first organic vineyard in Burgundy in 1954 (certified since 1991). The story of the small town of Cruzille becoming the birthplace of organic agriculture in Burgundy is truly unbelievable. Today, the Domaine is run by brothers Emmanuel and Patrice, who maintain their family's historic winemaking and vineyard practices that are rooted in deep respect for both wine and the land.
Eden Specialty Ciders
Newport, Vermont
Eleanor Leger founded Eden Specialty Ciders in 2007 after tasting ice cider in Montreal. Canada has always been a leader in ice wine, and a sweet cider industry, utilizing the same methods, sprung up alongside the vinous version. Leger’s great-great grandfather was a blacksmith in the Northeast Kingdom before the Civil War, and her deep roots there caused her to immediately recognize the similarities between the climate in Quebec and that of the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont. Eleanor bought an abandoned dairy farm and became the first producer of ice cider in the United States. Born out of this passion project, Eden is now an industry leader in quality cider production.
La Guita
Sanlúcar de Barrameda
La Guita is the top selling manzanilla in Spain, and is made in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Founded in 1852 by Domingo Pérez Marin, the estate has long made manzanilla their singular focus. The wine is made in two bodegas, and the smaller of the two, Bodega Misericordia, dates to 1526. Located in the heart of Sanlúcar, it was once the Hospital de San Juan de Dios. The larger bodega, Pago Sancular Viejo, is located on the road to Jerez and accounts for about 80% of La Guita’s production.
Far Mountain
Sonoma Valley/Moon Mountain, California
Far Mountain is based on the belief that some of the greatest potential for wine in California - and anywhere in the world - exists in remote pockets in the mountains of the Sonoma Valley. The growers they work with have taken decades of risks in both planting their vineyards and the farming choices they make today. The winery's work is to channel the drama of these surroundings into wines that dazzle with energy and stand out immediately.
Rio
Castelnuovo del Garda, Venezie
Rio pays homage to the picturesque side canals in Venice, along which quaint bars bustle with life as city goers settle down for a glass of the world-renowned Pinot Grigio, accompanied by an antipasti, a salad, or light seafood. Let this outstanding Pinot Grigio, dry, crisp and refreshing, momentarily transport you to these canals in the “City of Water."
Il Mosnel Franciacorta
Franciacorta DOCG
In the very heart of Franciacorta, lies the centuries old residence of the Barboglio family; with its 16th-century wine cellars and surrounding vineyards, the estate serves as an all eloquent testimony to the age-old winemaking traditions of the region. The cellars of this venerable winery continually witness the unfolding of the impressive winemaking tradition that the Barboglio family inherited in 1836. With the introduction of the Franciacorta DOCG, Emanuela Barboglio was able, in 1968, to wisely guide the winery into specialized, high-quality winegrowing. Today, her two children, Giulio and Lucia Barzanò, have accepted the challenge of this priceless inheritance and are committed to handing it on, with increased luster, to future generations.
Domaine de Pierre
Touraine, Loire Valley
Domiane de Pierre is a small estate in the heart of the Loire Valley run by 4th generation vigneron Lionel Gosseaume. That said, Lionel took an unusual path to winemaking. As a young man, he left the Loire to study agriculture and pursue a career. While he was away, his brother Thierry inherited his family’s domaine. When he came back home in the early 2000s, Lionel began looking for vineyards of his own. In 2007, he went to work for a next door neighbor at what would eventually become Domaine de Pierre. The neighbor’s name was Jean-Claude Maurice, and he tended the vines from 1960 to 2007, before handing over control to Lionel.
La Carraia
Orvieto, Umbria
La Carraia was born in 1988 as the collaboration between the Gialetti family, expert viticulturists in Orvieto, and the Cotarella family, of Antinori fame. Edoardo Gialetti, along with sons Mauro and Marco, own 190 HA of some of Italy’s oldest terroir in Orvieto, dating back to Etruscan times. With five distinct vineyard sites, nestled almost exclusively on hillsides that average 300 meters in altitude, La Carraia is 100% estate grown. Their vineyards are in the southern portion of Orvieto, and enjoy a distinct microclimate as a result of a hydroelectric lake that was build in the late 1970s by the Italian Government. The lake helps keep temperatures down on hot summer nights, allowing the grapes to maintain their all-important acidity. The soils at La Carraia are largely volcanic, and some of the vineyards include clay as well.
Marietta Cellars
Sonoma & Mendocino, California
Starting with only a handful of purchased grapes in 1978, Marietta Cellars has been a standout winery in Sonoma and Mendocino since the very start. Founded by Chris Bilbro, a Sonoma native with winemaking roots dated back three generations, Marietta rose to prominence with its revolutionary Old Vine Red, and has slowly expanded its estate holdings over the past thirty years, evolving into a beacon for high quality, balanced wines with unique character.
Van Volxem
Saar Valley, Mosel
Located in the historic center of Wiltingen in the Saar Valley, the Van Volxem winery dates back to Roman times. The vineyards date back to the 3rd century, and the traces of the original villa remain to this day. Gustav van Volxem purchased the property in the wake of the French Revolution, which ended generations of monastic control. Gustav was a true visionary, and recognized the potential of his spectacular vineyard sites. The estate gained international acclaim over the four generations of Van Volxem family stewardship that followed Gustav. In 2000, Roman Niewodniczanski purchased the property and embarked on an ambitious program to revive the prestige of German Riesling, which a century before commanded higher prices than the top estates of Burgundy or Bordeaux.
Wilfrid Rousse
Chinon AOC, France
Installed in a former farmhouse in the hamlet of La Halbardiere, the Domaine of Wilfrid Rousse distinctive signature over the surrounding lands: a weather vane depicting a mermaid holding in his hand a fish. This historic weather vane once donned the roofs of the nearby medieval castle in Savigny-en-Véron. In present, Wilfrid Rousse extends over 19.5 hectares between the municipalities of Savigny-en-Véron, Beaumont-en-Véron and Chinon. It is composed of 18 hectares of Cabernet Franc plantings, which are transformed into the Domain’s cuvées of both red and rosé wines.
