Chilled Reds

The sun’s out, the grill is on, and there’s no better way to mark the season than with a glass of red served refreshingly cool. This tasting explores a growing category of lighter-bodied reds made for summer ease—bright, juicy, and structured enough to pair with whatever's coming off the coals. These are wines made for the moments in between: a spontaneous picnic, a warm evening on the patio, or that second bottle at the beach when the sun’s just starting to dip.

Loire

The Loire Valley has always been shaped by its people—fishermen, monks, farmers, and winemakers—whose daily lives were intertwined with the rhythms of the Loire River. From the hillsides of Sancerre, to the windswept banks of the Atlantic near Muscadet, this tasting traces the legacy of growers who, across generations, cultivated one of France’s most quietly expressive wine regions. Long before it became the insider’s favorite, the Loire thrived on tradition, resilience, and a deep respect for the land—and many of its most compelling wines still carry that spirit today.
