Under the steep slopes and granite soils of the Northern Rhône, winemakers craft wines that are both deeply expressive and fiercely individual. This tasting brings together the meticulous work of passionate producers—some reviving forgotten vineyards, others redefining what’s possible in these storied appellations. Julien Pilon’s white wines shimmer with precision, while Syrahs from Cornas, Côte-Rôtie, and Crozes-Hermitage reveal layers of intensity, elegance, and raw power. Each bottle reflects not just a place, but the hands and histories that shaped it, from century-old estates to first-generation winemakers carving their own path. Each bottle tells a story of dedication—winemakers who have rebuilt vineyards, honed their craft, and embraced organic and biodynamic practices to create wines of true character.

Riesling is considered a “noble grape” for a wide variety of reasons—its exceptional ability to produce high-quality wines that reflect their terroir, its versatility across a range of styles and regions, its aging potential, its resilience and resistance to brutal climates, and its historical significance in winemaking. Come in and see why sommeliers, wine nerds, and enthusiasts around the world just can’t get enough Riesling, a highly aromatic white grape variety known for producing some of the world’s most elegant and age-worthy wines. Originating in Germany, Riesling thrives in cool climates, where it develops its signature balance of acidity, complexity, and expressiveness. That’s why we’re focusing on a lineup of all-German Rieslings that highlight the grape’s incredible versatility, from crisp and dry to sublimely sweet.
