About Our Imports

How the wine gets here

We import Burgundy and Champagne directly from the families who grow it.

We visit and taste with the winemakers.

Every producer on our list is a family domaine we have visited in the cellar. We taste the wines there before we decide what to bring in.

From the Domaine to us to you

We buy from the grower and import the wine. The wine moves from the domaine to our warehouse, and from our warehouse to you.

The quantities are small.

Production is small by design. Some cuvées are bottled in runs of around 1,300 bottles. When an allocation is gone, it is gone until the next vintage.

Relationships with winemakers

We have been tasting at the wineries and deepening our relationships with the winemakers since the 2011 vintage. We return each year, taste the new wines in the cellar, and decide what comes in. We only import what we love.

Pre-Arrival Lists

Some of our producers make so little wine that we open a pre-arrival list before the shipment lands. List members get first access to the allocation.

From the Cellar to Your Door

Temperature control matters at every step, so we manage the whole route.

Shipped cold from France

The wine travels from the domaine cellars to our temperature-controlled warehouse in refrigerated containers and trucks, start to finish.

Stored in temperature controlled warehouses

Our main temperature-controlled bonded warehouse is in the Bay Area. A smaller temperature-controlled warehouse is in North County San Diego.

We ship when the weather is right

We wait for good shipping weather. After you order, we email you to arrange a shipping date that works for you.

Wine delivered to most states

We ship to most US states that allow wine shipping. Free shipping on 12 or more bottles.

Our selections are featured on Michelin-starred restaurant lists throughout California
