Les MARCHANDS

Sometimes it's better than you anticipate.

Bringing you the most righteous flavors of the season coming directly from Santa Barbara County.  Les Marchands will be hosting superb monthly specials.

Puligny Montrachet

At Lafarge in Volnay.  A cellar worthy of UNESCO World Heritage classification. 

On the hill of Grand Crus…Chablis.

Cellars.  The finest ones are a not a playground and should be thoroughly respected.  They are not always glorious or glamourous looking, but when they are it is a memorable place to spend an afternoon, or two, or a week straight while confirming inventory.  Whether you have an immense cave, a closet, a basement, or a EuroCave…jump inside today and pull a bottle.

Public water fountain in Corton.

Traditional pergola style vine training.

It's a red wine kind of day outside of Amarante.

I love the smell of Vallin blanc In the morning. '13 going to tank. Vintage report coming soon...

Bereche dinner tonight at 7. All the bubbles you can handle...

Our boy Ryno @tylerwinery punching down bent rock Pinot. Great ripeness and structure in '13

46 degrees in Lompoc... @tylerwinery is bustling at harvest.
