There are 6 bottles of white, 3 of rosé, and 3 of red in this suggested mixed dozen. This case is made up of seven different wines. The numbers of bottles of each individual wine are indicated below.
- Ruhlmann-Schutz “Cuvée Hospices de Strasbourg” Alsace Old Vine Riesling 2019. WHITE. 100% Riesling. Exceptional Riesling of epic and quintessential aromatics with notions of lime marmalade, lemon tart, gunpowder smoke, rose petals, ginger, lemon grass, five spice, and hot cross buns, and yet the party is really on the palate where high voltage juiciness courses through every nerve, it’s ultra dry and ultra long with very serious cellar potential too. Usually $48.95 per bottle. 2 bottles in this mixed dozen.
- La Cave de Roquebrun “Les Fiefs d’Aupenac” Saint-Chinian-Roquebrun WHITE 2020. 85% Rousanne, 15% Grenache Blanc. Mind bogglingly beautiful white with explosive aromatic attractiveness, fruits, flowers, and stone, barrel ferment smoky oak, and then a palate of precise and crystalline perfection worthy of a great white Burgundy from Puligny Montrachet, just for a fifth of the price. Usually $48.95 per bottle. 3 bottles in this mixed dozen.
- Vignerons of Pfaffenheim Alsace Riesling 2020. WHITE. Here is a French Riesling that completely over-performs for its price. The aromatics are quintessential Alsace with lemon and lime fruit, spiced apple tart, a tiny touch of signature kerosene (but just a touch!), key lime pie, meringue, and then a driving dry palate of breadth and depth that gives this wine very decent medium term cellaring potential too. Classic Alsace Riesling.

Usually $33.95 per bottle. 3 bottles in this mixed dozen.
- La Cave de Roquebrun “Les Fiefs d’Aupenac” Saint-Chinian-Roquebrun RED 2019. NEW vintage. 60% Shiraz, 20% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre. Bam! Smoky, meaty, earthy, dense and dark fruit, intense but channeled, mint chocolate notes, herbs and stones, oak and crispy bacon fat, while the palate is rich and sappy with very fine tannin by the shovel load, mouth-coating, gripping length. Usually $48.95 per bottle. One bottle in this mixed dozen.
- Lavau Côtes-du-Rhône RED 2020. Grenache/Shiraz. Piercingly bright and precisely ripened fruit, cherry jam and cassis, with notes of woody nuts and charcuterie, while the palate is fleshy, smooth, and balanced. Pitch perfect Côtes-du-Rhône. Usually $27.95 per bottle. One bottle in this mixed dozen.
- Vignerons of the Ardèche “Terres de Chêne” RED Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot. Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot blend from the Ardèche, the winemaking wonderland high up and over the hills along the western bank of the Rhône river. Dark berry fruit, mulberries and blueberries, marzipan, and spice, while the palate is smooth, medium-full, and with high drinkability. Drink now to 2025. Usually $24.95 per bottle. One bottle in this mixed dozen.
How to order.

Because this is a mixed dozen, it has to be added to your cart in multiples of 12. So to order one of these mixed dozens, put 12 bottles in your cart, or to order two of these mixed dozens, put 24 bottles in your cart, etc. This mixed dozen has been priced at $29.16 per bottle because $29.16 x 12 = $349.92, which is the correct price to pay for it.
Please also note that if the stock counter towards the top of this page is showing “792 in stock”, for example, that means that there are 66 mixed dozens available because 792 divided by 12=66. Or if it showed there were “12 in stock” that doesn’t mean that there are 12 of these suggested mixed dozens available but actually just one of them because 12 divided by 12=1, etc. In other words, the stock count figure shows the total number of bottles not the number of dozens available.
