Ribaude’s is a blend of 20 varieties, and its alcohol barely breaks 3%. There’s a bit more softness in the perry, but we’d still call it only barely off-dry. The nose is exuberant and delightful, with notes of caramel, pear tart, and baking spice. The mouth is fruity but also crisp and vibrant with nice acidity and notes of honey, herbs and apples. Serve this one with a goat cheese salad for lunch on an autumn Sunday afternoon. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

It’s simple, dry, fresh, and a serious bargain. The nose shows strawberries with a hint of earthiness and mint. The mouth is very dry and light, with red currant fruit, excellent freshness and pleasant echo of tannin. Nicolas has managed to keep both alcohol and bottle price impressively low. Don’t overthink this cuvée and it wont let you down. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

This method gives the wine more tension and texture, and Florence explained she made the switch in search of a refreshing, lightweight wine. The rosé this year is a crisp 12.5% alcohol, with notes of “grenadine, minerals, and tension." We think this will be the perfect match for summer heat. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Raised in stainless steel, this wine is pure, delicious fruit: look for plums, lavender, minerals and dark berries. There’s excellent freshness and attractive tannins, making it an option for both cocktail hour and dinner. There’s lots of Rhône wine out there for under $20, but almost none of it is this good.

Dahm’s vines are located next to the famous Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard, considered among the best in Germany.
The nose is bright and stony with notes of lime rind, slate, dried melon, and saffron. The mouth is exquisitely dry, with a Muscadet-like core and pleasant notes of smoke and faintly browned apple. At 9.5% alcohol, it’s the lightest wine in our cellar. Pair it with sushi or other raw seafood like oysters or scallops. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

This nose is beautiful and delicate, showing bright apple and lime zest. The mouth begins soft and round, but finishes with a burst of beautiful mineral texture. To borrow a phrase from wine writer Eric Asimov, this is “thrillingly tense.” We think it makes beautiful aperitif. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Like his other cuvées, it’s 100% Sangiovese. It’s dry on the palate, with a lively freshness; and its floral nose resolves into delightful strawberry fruit in the mouth.
When the weather begins to warm in the spring and early summer, it will be hard to beat this light, refreshing glass for a moment of relaxation at the end of the day.
