Jean Bourdy Cremant du Jura NV
Origin: Jura, France
Retail: $28.95 | Sale: $26.05
Caves Jean Bourdy is one of the oldest domaines in the Jura. Created in the late 1400’s, the Domaine is now run by brothers Jean-Phillipe and Jean-François, the 15th generation of winemakers at this estate. The Bourdys grow their vines on 10 hectares of land, including a half hectare in Chateau Chalon AOC. Caves Jean Bourdy makes wine the old fashioned way, using old barrels—some as much as 80 years old—for fermentation and aging of the wines. The Domaine is known for its extensive library of old wines, with reds dating back to 1926 and whites dating back to 1911 (1865 for Chateau Chalon). The Domaine was certified biodynamic in 2006, and the combination of some of the best terroir in the Jura and careful and patient winemaking results in wines that thoroughly express the land on which it is grown. Notes of apple, pear, and fig laced with powdered ginger, dried persimmon, and heather. 100% Chardonnay
Ferrando Erbaluce di Caluso 2022
Origin: Piemonte, Italy
Retail: $22.95 | Sale: $20.65
The Ferrando family has produced and traded wine for five generations. In 1957, Giuseppe Ferrando junior, the founder’s grandson, began production of one of the rarest wines obtained from the Nebbiolo variety: Carema, named after a small town in northern Piedmont. The company’s creativity and inventiveness have been faithfully passed on through the generations, along with a steady commitment to quality. Thanks particularly to their modern, rational production of Solativo, a unique wine made from Erbaluce grapes harvested in December, the Ferrando family has helped raise Erbaluce to rank among the best Italian white wines. A lightly floral nose and delicate aroma of white blossoms with fresh acidity and minerality. 100% Erbaluce di Caluso

Origin: Piemonte, Italy
Retail: $24.95 | Sale: $22.45
Canavese is a corner area in the Piedmont region, within the province of Turin. It is a quiet, beautiful landscape endowed with deep historical importance. A great glacier lay here in ancient times, which, as it withdrew, left a circle of morainic hills made up by the detritus brought by the glacier and dotted the area with many ponds and lakes. Floral and fruity with notes of raspberry, strawberry, and a pleasant spice. On the palate, delicate tannins with a persistent finish. Blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera
