We’ve got some great wines for you this month. A beautiful Blanc de Blancs from Passy-sur-Marne, a vintage sparkler from California that is probably my favorite non-Champagne sparkler in the world, and certainly the best in the United States, and a delightful Alpine sparkler from Savoie.

There is one major change this month, which I ought to let you in on. The first is that I have gone back to including wine notes with each of the shipments. I found beautiful 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and I have been feeling like not having the notes in your shipment takes away some of the value. But don’t let the notes keep you from going to the website: there are pictures and links to more information and maps for each of the selections, a plethora of good stuff that you don’t want to miss. There is also an opportunity to comment on the wines and share your thoughts (though no one has done this yet. Your invitation code to register and leave comments on the site is “member01″.

Also, we have a very special tasting at Cellar46 on August 1st. I will be leading a tasting of the exceptional Burgundies from Lucien Le Moine. For more information, click here.  reservations are required, but it’s well worth it: the wines are stunning!

I hope you enjoy the wines.

Thank you,
