I had a total and thorough geek out moment while visiting with David Siozard in Bordeaux last year. I've spent many a week in Bordeaux over the last decade, most of it scratching my head trying to figure out why the region and its wines are still so popular. I find most of it boring, uninteresting, traditional, and tired.

Over the last six years we have really been sold on a wide lineup of wines made by twin brothers Laurent and David Siozard. What I receive from those guys from their 2 different properties--Chateau Lapinesse, and Domaine du Claouset, is just extraordinary. And through the power of direct importing we've been able to hand select their wines, right from the winery's front door, and bring them directly to our warehouse, just for you. Quite frankly, I find that pretty exciting.
