Join us on Thursday, October 15th for a tasting led by Camille Elguero of Skurnik Wine & Spirits, exploring the new wave of domestic winemakers crafting a modern style.
Across the country, a wave of producers is rewriting the rules, trading heavy extraction and high alcohol for freshness, restraint and site-driven expression. Many are digging into overlooked sites and underappreciated varieties, farming organically and vinifying with a lighter hand to let the fruit's true character speak clearly for itself. They favor earlier picking, native fermentation, and minimal intervention in the cellar. The result is a lineup of domestic wines that feel transparent and energetic, speaking of place rather than technique.

Join us on Thursday, October 29th for a comprehensive seminar on the wines from Jean-Louis Chave.
The Chave family has been making wine in the Rhône Valley since 1481, and after 16 generations on the hill of Hermitage, the name has become synonymous with the appellation itself. This long stewardship has established Domaine Jean-Louis Chave as one of the Northern Rhône’s great benchmarks, guided by a philosophy in which the vineyard defines the wine, blending defines Hermitage, and the cellar’s role is to preserve what the land provides.
At the core of the domaine’s work is a meticulous parcel-by-parcel approach. Each vineyard is farmed, harvested and vinified separately, with extraction and élevage adapted to the conditions of the vintage rather than any fixed formula. Blending remains the essential step, bringing together the complementary qualities of Hermitage’s historic lieux-dits into a complete and harmonious whole.
Beyond Hermitage, Jean-Louis has spent decades restoring ancient terraces in Saint-Joseph, underscoring a deep commitment to preserving the region’s heritage. Today, alongside his wife Erin, he continues to guide the domaine as a reference point for classically made, terroir-driven wines of precision, longevity, and place, and as a longstanding partner and friend of Grand Cru Selections.- via Grand Cru Selection
