Welcome to your June wine club shipment! I hope you’re ready for some great wine. We begin the journey in the seat of all things delicious and winey: France.  Wine number one is a beautiful Châteauneuf-du-Pape from an old producer that just got REALLY good. Consider it the first installment in a two-part Grenache comparison that is impressive for the the difference and deliciousness of the wines. The second installment is from only a few miles away in Priorat, Spain, made by a group of outlaw winemakers (everything tastes better when you’re breakin’ the law!)

We finish up in Italy. For the white drinkers out there, we head to Piedmont, for a Chardonnay that renews my faith in the grape, for the red drinkers, to Tuscany for the first vintage of the top wine of joint project between a First Growth Bordeaux Château and an excellent Chianti Producer.

Also, keep your eyes peeled on the website over the next couple of months, as we announce some great new events, and more than a couple of other fun things, including the opportunity to order additional wines from your shipment online.

That’s all for now!
