Wine Club Selections
Giacomo Fenocchio “Roero Arneis”
PIEDMONT, ITALY | 2023
We focus a lot on Barolo’s nebbiolo at Le Midi, so it only seemed fair to give one of our favorite Barolo producers’ white wines a little attention.
Magoutes “Vieilles Vignes Blanc”

In this windswept, arid landscape, anchored by impressively rocky limestone soils, the story of Diamantis Winery begins in the early 20th century.
Pardas “Rupestris”
ALT PENEDÈS, SPAIN | 2023
Celler Pardas began as a partnership between two friends, Ramon Parera and Jordi Arnan, who found and purchased a very special masía (Catalan farmhouse), called Can Comas, in Alt Penedès, surrounded by vineyards and agriculture.

Bastien Jolivet "Cuvée de Louis"
VIN DE FRANCE, FRANCE | 2022
Bastien Jolivet farms in the northern reaches of the Rhône, around Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, where steep hillsides, granitic soils, and cooler exposures give his wines a distinctly lifted, mountain-grown character.
Domaine d’Edouard “Les Collines de Vaux”
CÔTES D’AUXERRE, BURGUNDY| 2022
This is the kind of bottle that reminds you why these “off-the-radar” appellations matter, especially when it comes to Burgundy.
Vuurberg “White”
STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA | 2020
You can usually find a few wines made by Donovan Rall on our shelves, and his winemaking projects are always a favorite to highlight.
Thomas Farge “Les Jardins de Chavagnac” Blanc
COLLINES RHODANIENNES, FRANCE | 2020

Francis Blanchet “Vielles Vignes”
POUILLY-FUMÉ, FRANCE | 2024
In the glass, this wine is Sauvignon Blanc dialed up a notch: brisk citrus, ripe pear, a whiff of white flowers, and that subtle smoky edge that makes you pause and think.
Selvagrossa “Cuchén”
MARCHE, ITALY | 2022
Cuchén” is one of the best-value Italian white wines you can find. It’s made from the indigenous and rare Albanella grape, which is a specialty of the hills around Pesaro.
