Staff Pick Notes

Someone once told me, “wine is a picture taken from a moving train.” I can think of no better way to succinctly explain why you should try more Burgundies. Each bottle is the snapshot of a place and Pinot Noir is an excellent conduit of terroir. Volnay is known for spinning a silken wine. The juice from Les Fremiets has powerful, earthy aromas of horseradish, white pepper, and celery salt. The palate bursts forward with crushed red fruit and transitions to a peppery finish. Wine is inherently fleeting -- just like life -- so get swept up in it.
