One of our obsessions at Flatiron Wines is the every-day wines that you find in wine regions across the world – the wines that the locals actually drink, as opposed to the typically more expensive wines that are for export and sales. We’ve written extensively about Dolcetto in this context, not to mention more obscure wines like Pinot Auxerrois in Alsace. Today, we turn to another very fun category of these sorts of wines: 1-liter bottles of Gruner Veltliner.

Textura is a small winery in Portugal’s Dão region — quite possibly our favorite Portuguese region for fresh, crisp, lightly aromatic whites and juicy, complex reds with a dash of salinity. The elegant, mineral-driven wines produced here have led some to call the region Portugal’s answer to Burgundy.

Tarlant has been making Grower Champagne since all the way back in the 1920s, when Louis Tarlant helped the Champagne AOC to gain international fame. Ever since then, the family has produced beautiful bubblies entirely from fruit they've harvested themselves.

The 2023 SKINS is a crisp, fresh orange wine that pairs well with duck sausage, roasted peach and ricotta, or just hanging out and enjoying the summer heat. The fruit is all destemmed and fermented on the skins (bet you figured that out from the name, huh) from 23 to 46 days depending on the grape, resulting in an aromatically delicate, yet substantial and composed wine.

French winemakers have been falling in love with California wine country since, well, before it was wine country. Because even winemakers with some of the best terroir in France are blown away by what they find here. That was the case when Burgundy's Etienne de Montille of the famous Domaine de Montille set out to find his dream sites on the West Coast.

Von Winning is one of Germany's best producers. Every wine in their extensive lineup is a treat, and their age-worthy Grosses Gewachs are masterpieces of the Pfalz. They also happen to make one of our favorite Sauvignon Blancs.

Corrado Dottori has been a star of the Natural Wine Movement(tm) since Jonathan Nossiter featured him in his film, Natural Resistance. But that's not why we love him. We love him because he makes beautiful wines that are wildly alive and also pure and delicious. They're fascinating if you want to pay attention, but crushable if you just want to drink something great.

Hard as it is for his long-time fans, it’s obviously fair: Fichet is as big a talent as they come and he's been a favorite of critics (including, notably, Burghound) since long before he became a darling of collectors. The good news is, we just got our allocation of his absolutely gorgeous 2022s.

Baxter Winery has been producing some of California's most aromatic and ethereal Pinot Noirs for almost 20 years, yet somehow they still remain fairly under the radar. Phillip Baxter Jr. works with some of Mendocino’s and in particular Anderson Valley's, best cool climate sites. The resulting wines are among the most deftly balanced and elegant this region, or really any California region, is producing today.
