Having been born in Rio de Janeiro into a very proud French/Portuguese family, and living in France and the USA for almost 25 years, gave me the best of all worlds, one very old, and another very new. I’ve always had three different perspectives on everything growing up, three different opportunities to understand the world around me and to try to make sense of it all. From Ipanema Beach, to the bluest of seas in the Côte d'Azur and Nice, to the wonderful Big Sur. Caipirinha and Feijoada, codfish and Vinho Verde, Daube and Bandol, and the always present Rosé, and…beer for those 110 degree summertime days in Rio! I always worked in the food business, in Paris, Nice and San Francisco. While working at Jules Verne in Paris, I decided to devote my career solely to wines and eventually got my Sommelier certification through the International Sommelier Guild.

2012 Cibonne Tentations Côtes de Provence Rosé
Review Date: 4-30-2013
Clos Cibonne is perhaps one of the most prestigious and sought after rosés from Provence that we proudly have in stock (luckily, as there are only very few produced. The Tentations is as good as it gets in Provence. And for half the price of some other famous ones with funny shaped bottles...

2009 Domaine Edmond Cornu Ladoix "Les Carrières"
Review Date: 4-10-2013
Very nice notes of sweet coffee, smoke, with a touch of meatiness. A soft palate with smoked paprika, dark berries and plenty of minerality rounding it all up on the palate.

2011 Domaine Desertaux-Ferrand Bourgogne Rouge
Review Date: 4-10-2013
A classic little Burgundy to be have for an excellent price. An almost perfumed nose with notes of strawberry and cherry, spice-box, pot-pourri. All of that follows through on the palate as well. A very pretty wine.

2002 Louis Lequin Santenay 1er Cru "Le Passe-Temps"
Review Date: 4-10-2013
Incredible find from our buyers. A 2002 Burgundy showing at its peak! The beautiful garnet color let's us know of its age, followed by an array of tertiary aromas, brown sugar, cinnamon spices, plums and a touch of leather. It is a light/medium, quite delicate bodied wine to be appreciated slowly.

2010 Domaine Regnier Saumur Champigny
Review Date: 3-6-2013
Really delightful Cabernet Franc, from Saumur Champigny, medium bodied, and very floral, with an intense nose of crushed rocks, violets and little red fruits. I would suggest serving it a bit chilled.

2007 Viña Eguía Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 3-6-2013
One of the nicest surprises this year. A nice, spicy and quite affordable Rioja. Dark berries and vanilla supported by a nice structure. Quite delicious.

2011 Meyer-Fonné "Vignoble de Katzenthal" Muscat
Review Date: 3-6-2013
A very unique wine for those who want to experiment what a dry Muscat from Alsace is all about. Intense aromatics of orange flowers, fresh grapes, honey and exotic spices. One would swear by the nose alone that this would be a sweet wine. But no, sweet it is not, and that's the beauty of it. This contrast between the sweet nose and the dry palate is a perfect combination for the very difficult to pair items like white asparagus or artichokes, but also a divine combination with Thai food. Please give it a try.

2005 Clarendon Hills "Hickinbotham" Grenache
Review Date: 2-26-2013
Here's a perfectly aged Australian Grenache which in itself is a rare item to find. Deep purple color, dark raspberry, cherry and plums. Very supple and with a touch of smoke and chocolate.
Price: $34.99 Add To Cart RP 93 ST 92 WS 92
2011 Yves Cuilleron Syrah Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes
Review Date: 2-19-2013
Classic textbook Northern Rhone Syrah. White pepper, violets and some blood orange as well. And at 12% ABV it is pretty indeed.

2011 Kalinda Rheingau Riesling Qba
Review Date: 2-19-2013
Delightful Riesling full of lime, honeysuckle and a great tangy spritz sensation on the palate that makes it incredibly refreshing and just about perfect for an aperitif, or with spicy foods. A must try!
