Wonderful West Coast Wines in Our Domestic Newsletter

As we look to the state of Domestic wines for today’s newsletter, grace is the word on the tips of our tongues. What’s happening in the U.S. is that we’ve reached a moment when winemakers have been at this a while: they understand their specific terroir, they’ve honed their skills and no longer need to look to other regions or to critics’ pronouncements to guide their winemaking. The result is a range of wines that fully embody their place and show the deft touch of skilled craftspeople connected to their land.

From the vibrant, focused Cabernets coming out of Napa’s excellent 2018 vintage to the seductively aromatic Pinots from Oregon’s Arterberry Maresh, these pages showcase wines that achieve a seamless blend of elegance and self-possession that can only be encapsulated by the word grace. And, because we, too, have been in the biz a while and have developed long-standing relationships, we can bring many of these bottles to you at uniquely gracious prices. Take a stroll through the wine country of our own backyard and see what these amazing folks have been up to!
