Champagne, Still Wines From A Sparkling Kingdom
The Coteaux Champenois is an appellation within the region which extends over hundreds of communes and produces excellent still wines.
Exciting Older Bramaterra Riserva Vintages from Tenuta Monolo
The Producer I recently had the opportunity to taste several older vintages of Bramaterra Riservas from Umberto Dilodi of Tenuta Monolo, thanks to PortoVino importers. The tasting was held at the Kebabery in Oakland, and sure enough, Kebabs and aged Bramaterra Riservas are a stellar match! The DOC of Bramaterra borders Gattinara and Lessona in […]
The Perfect Rose to Cella: Château Simone
Cellaring Rose? Cellaring is a common practice for wine enthusiasts, whether for just a couple bottles or several hundred. But for those who do age their wines, how many hold on to dry rosé and drink it long after release? At the moment, the market for dry rosé is certainly “flowing.” Just last week in […]
Domaine de Beudon
Just last week we brought in two deliciously obscure wines from a tiny Swiss producer in Valais, which the importer alleges is accessible only by a dangerous-looking alpine gondola. Unfortunately, as I reached out for more information about these wines, I was alarmed to hear that Jacky Granges, the grower and winemaker who took over in 1971 and developed the vineyards to be fully biodynamic by 1992, had passed away in the short time between tasting his wines and their arrival at the shop.
Voillot & Volnay: Article from Vintage 59 Imports
This morning I started off with the visit I was both most excited and most concerned about. Jean Pierre Charlot at Domaine Joseph Voillot in Volnay has been through the ringer more than anyone that I am slated to visit.

Pink: The Missing Link
This time of year here at Paul Marcus Wines we are down right Rosé crazy! We live, breath and well uh.. drink the drink the stuff like it is going out of style. And if being fanatical about Rosé is wrong, then we don’t wanna be right. There is something about the crisp and refreshing nature of Rosé wine, not to mention it’s hugely versatile food pairing capability, that makes us all warm and fuzzy like a troop of giddy schoolgirls. And just when we thought our p […]
