November's new arrivals at Metrovino include three Crozes-Hermitage from Alain Graillot, Cornas from Pierre Gaillard, Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Charbonnière, a bunch of Chianti Classico, Keller Riesling from Rheinhessen and four sherries from M. Antonio de la Riva. We also added in a few more aperitifs, cider and spirits to the list. Below is everything that landed this month, grouped by country and region, with every bottle linked to its respective page.
Chenin Blanc from Denis Meunier, a Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Plaisance, and a Chardonnay from Tom Cartron.
The Rhône has the most additions this month. In the north there's Crozes-Hermitage from Alain Graillot, Cornas from Pierre Gaillard and Syrah from Julien Cécillon. In the south, Domaine de la Charbonnière brings Châteauneuf-du-Pape in red and white.
From Château La Roque we have a fascinating 100% Counoise and a Pic Saint-Loup, plus Cabernet Sauvignon from Domaine Fontanès.
Six Chianti Classico wines from five estates to celebrate the release of "The Next Rooster" by Michael Godel.
Three wines from Le Fraghe near Lake Garda: a red Bardolino, a Chiaretto rosé and Garganega.
From sherry country: both red and white wines from Luis Pérez, and four sherries from M. Antonio de la Riva ranging from Manzanilla to Amontillado and Cream.
More 2025 Riesling: two wines from Keller in Rheinhessen and a magnum of AJ Adam's Goldtröpfchen Kabinett. Plus, a skin-contact Müller-Thurgau from Enderle & Moll in Baden.
Back in action are two unusual grapes for the Santa Maria Valley: Nebbiolo and Valdiguié (also know as Napa Gamay) from the Clendenen Family.
Given the never ending shortage of Chartreuse in Alberta we took it upon ourselves to bring in a Metrovino exclusive alternative, La Gauloise.
