August Theme: Off the Beaten Track – Hidden Gems Worth the Detour
This month, we invite you to explore the road less traveled.
August is all about discovery — a curated journey into the world of unsung winemakers crafting world-class bottles outside the spotlight. These aren't the wines you’ll find lining grocery store shelves. They’re the ones whispered about by sommeliers, poured at that one incredible bistro, or passed around at a dinner party with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.
We’ve handpicked wines from visionary producers working off the grid — championing native grapes, reviving old traditions, experimenting with bold ideas, and letting their land speak through every pour.
This is authenticity in a bottle. It’s global flavor without the airfare. It's what happens when artistry, terroir, and independence collide.
Expect bold reds, crisp whites, and a few surprises that overdeliver on character, story, and sheer drinking pleasure.
So go ahead — veer off course. You might just find your new favorite wine.
Each month, we tap a beloved wine expert to curate your wines, based on a theme of their choosing — a region, a trend, or simply a seasonal vibe — along with detailed tasting notes.
With your membership you become part of a wine-loving community, with access to exclusive wines picked by a trusted Eater curator.
Peek into the brilliant brain of your monthly curator with tasting notes and pairing suggestions.
