Staff Picks

Ca’Rugate

The name Ca’Rugate comes from the hills north of Brognoligo, where the house and estate vineyards are located. The Tessari family owns and operates this small property. All of the farming is organic. Ca’Rugate wines can be found on many of the best wine lists in Italy and the United States. We are fortunate to get these wines without a national importer, and thus the wines are well priced.

2010 Le Pigeoulet

The ‘house wine’ at Les Vignobles Brunier, the 2010 Pigeoulet en Provence is named for the lieu-dit where the family home and the Vieux Télégraphe offices and cellars are located. It is a spicy blend of Grenache and Carignan from two very different vineyard sites. The result is a ‘baby’ Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a price that isn’t even close.
