Domaine Christophe Camu Petit Chablis
Regularly $30..99/On sale for $27.89
(100% Chardonnay)

Christophe and Dylan Camu (father and son) are the sixth and seventh generations in their family to make wine in Chablis. They practice Lutte Raisonnee (not entirely eschewing chemicals but using them VERY sparingly as needed) farming on 15 hectares in Chablis including Premiere and Grand Cru sites and, as is the case here, Petit Chablis.
Petit Chablis are considered to be the not quite as prestigious vineyards within the AOC and thus they are the best value. They are often indistinguishable from bottles at much higher prices. This one from Domaine Christophe Camu is a new favorite of ours. If you were to drink this while looking adorable in a cashmere sweater sitting by a fire and eating oysters you would be on the right track.


Ca'n Verdura Binissalem-Mallorca Negre
Regularly $27.99/On sale for $25.19
(Manto Negro, Callet, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Monastrell)

Mallorca is a huge tourist destination and the influx of visitors (and their importance to the economy) was putting the island at risk of losing its traditional foods, wines, and culture. Luckily there is a renaissance going on that Tomeu Llabrés is an integral part of with his “viticultura en miniatura” (miniature viticulture) and dedication to the indigenous grape variety mantonegro. Through younger makers and growers like Tomeu, the culture of Mallorca and integrity of the land is being preserved. Ca’n Verdura Negre is meant as an intro to the wines of Mallorca, friendly, easy going and full of red fruits, herbs and some spice notes. Organic, native yeasts, low sulphur.
