    Original price was: $19.00.Current price is: $15.20.

    Château Courac is a star producer in Laudun—one of the southern Rhône’s hidden gems. The village has long been recognized by insiders for its quality, but was only elevated to cru status in 2023. Now Laudun has joined the circle of AOCs—headlined by Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape—that occupy the top rung of the Rhône quality…

    Original price was: $74.00.Current price is: $37.00.

    Château Lascombes, one of five Second Growths in Margaux, dates back to the 17th century, but the estate’s golden age has been modern: It remained in mismanagement for decades until it was purchased by an American group in 2001.

    Original price was: $27.00.Current price is: $21.60.

    In hindsight, the shotguns were not a great idea. In 1936, the owners of Clos du Caillou could not have foreseen how consequential it would be to have their hunting preserve excluded from the new Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC. So when the government surveyors arrived, words were exchanged. Firearms were brandished, and the officials quickly retreated. As…

    The “cult” category of Napa Valley might be dominated by red wines, but the label perhaps making the most waves is Massican. Massican is the only white-wine-only winery in Napa Valley, and it is a phenomenon. Led by the SF Chronicle’s 2017 Winemaker of the Year Dan Petroski, it has redefined the category with its…

After attending UC Santa Cruz (where…

    Our table seemed like it was sagging under the weight of all we’d ordered: Between the massive bistecca alla fiorentina, the pappardelle with wild-boar ragu, and the mountain of prosciutto, we wouldn’t have been surprised if the ancient wood slab we were seated at started to groan. We took comfort in the fact that nearly…
