Rosé offers are the wine world’s own special version of consumerism gone insane. Like holiday displays at department stores, every year the shit comes earlier and earlier and there’s nothing we can do about it.
So sorry about that.
On the other hand, rosé is sorta delicious, it does pair with summer, and people like it. Consider just ordering a bunch from us and being done with it?
Here’re two quick sales points.
First: With the help of our growers, we have been able to keep the tariff damage to a minimum, again.
Second: COOL-CLIMATE ROSÉ is where it’s at. Seriously, go to Provence, that’s great. Just take a rosé from Germany (or northern France) if you want that natural, freshy mcfresh, lip-smacking ACID.
Check it out – bottles and some mags! These are going to be limited so tell us what you want and we’ll do our best. C’mon, rosé in Riesling mag bottles? #sexy
The early bird catches the worm – or in this case the Beurer and Stein mags. Those will go quickly.
And apologies for emailing about rosé in February. We’re not happy about it either.

Noël and Magali Bazin farm just a few hectares in the peculiar section of the Montagne de Reims that is often called the Perle Blanche or “White Pearl,” because it is a part focused on Chardonnay surrounded by a region almost exclusively planted to Pinot Noir and Meunier. This rosé, however, is sourced from their small parcels of Pinot Noir. It is a lavish, coating, saturating and structured rosé – pair with spring and steaks. IN STOCK!
Beurer makes a rosé that drinks like biodynamic Gatorade – this wine zings: it is pure energy. It is fresh like a spring garden around 6am just as the overeager sun pokes its gonzo eye above the horizon, pushing away the wet dew. This rosé is a saignée of Trollinger, Portugieser, Zweigelt and Spätburgunder, all farmed biodynamically and fermented with native yeast. Yes, those are my damn tulips in the background. 🙂 ARRIVES LATE MARCH!
This is a crap wine that we just couldn’t sell last year so we’re putting it in our 2020 campaign and really, really hoping you don’t notice it’s, uh-oh… ONE YEAR OLD! Because you know the multi-million-dollar industry of cellaring wines applies to everything except rosés which inexplicably go bad around September of the year following their vintage. Ha – ok that was fun. This is a kick-ass, delicate Pinot Noir that sees extended barrel age and is bottled in the fall; this wine arrived late Dec 2020. This is a profound light red / rosé that can age, Clos Cibonne style – very herbal and dark fruited, tons of soil tones. Honestly drinks more like a red than a rosé. Bonkers good and culty so if you interested buy now. IN STOCK!
OK, the truth is I haven’t even tasted this wine. In the cold Obermosel Pinot Noir is still not the easiest grape to ripen and this is the first rosé the Hilds have been able to make in years. When they said I could have 54 cases for the U.S. of A. I just eagerly said YES. And then I saw the photograph of Matz’s older sister Rosmarie as a 5-year-old on the label and it just broke my heart. In a world of painfully hip wine labels, I am so down for a return to some basic human sentimentality. ARRIVES APRIL-ISH
LORRAINE IS THE PROVENCE OF LORRAINE!!! The Mosel River begins in Alsace but spends most of its time running north through the Lorraine, the ignored little-brother of Alsace. This is the homeland of rosé, here called “Vin Gris.” For those looking for wines of finesse and delicacy, this is a thrilling region and there is no one better than the young Camille Migot: all hand-harvested, certified organic, all wild-yeast fermentations, NO chaptalization. SERIOUS. The Vin Gris is the calling card of the region, layered rosé that carries the nervous energy of the north. ARRIVES MID-MARCH – BRUT IN STOCK NOW!
This is one of the most popular rosés we offer BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME. In this region, limestone reigns supreme, not slate. Verily, Pinot Noir is very at home and Florian’s rosé highlights the transparent, crystal-clear freshness of great Pinot rosé, at an absurd price because it’s, well, German, and NOT from Provence. ARRIVES LATE APRIL
Shelter makes extraordinarily delicate, fragrant Pinot Noir in Baden, a region mostly known for wines that tend to be big bruisers with a lot of lumber. This rosé is ultra bright and tart, whispering intensity and lacy minerality that characterize every wine from this humble husband-and-wife team. SILLY LIMITED! ARRIVES LATE APRIL / MAY
Our favorite rebel/activist in the Mosel, Ulli Stein is one of the world’s most soulful growers. This is one of the few rosés from the Mosel and has become a cult favorite. Shimmering, dry with rigorous acidity. ARRIVES APRIL/MAY
