Serrano Ham

Red · Medium · Dry

Spain's signature red — bright cherry, dusty earth, and a touch of vanilla from American oak. Soft enough to drink young; structured enough to age beautifully in the right cellar.

White · Medium · Dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Provence's most serious red — Mourvèdre-dominated, structured, savory, with notes of black olive, leather, and Mediterranean herb. The age-worthy alternative to a southern Rhône.

The largest of the Beaujolais Crus and one of the friendliest — Gamay with juicy red fruit, soft tannins, and an easy charm. The Cru you reach for first.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Loire Cabernet Franc at its most refined — pencil-shavings, raspberry, and a flint-stone finish. The bistro red of choice; equally good chilled in summer.
