Melody's wine club includes 2 or 3 bottles per month from iconic and emerging producers from around the world.
Our picks are made to mirror the season and its occasions. The varietals, vintages, producers, and regions are always changing and are always delicious.
Each month, your wines will be paired with a description of each of your bottles and a little background on their producers as well as food pairing suggestions. We are happy to accommodate preferences.
Wine club membership includes access to our frequent wine tastings that are reserved for industry folks and wine club members exclusively. We also offer 10% off retail bottles, free merch, and a subscription to our weekly newsletter.
We will call you to take payment information— that's none of the internet's business.

Burgundy, France / Chardonnay / The Maison de Nicolay project is an expansion and extension of the legendary Domaine Chandon de Briailles. Whole grapes and un-fermented grape juice are purchased from neighboring vineyards who are certified biodynamic or in the process. After inspecting the grapes during veraison and harvest, a selection is made that can support elevage without added sulphur or yeasts- wines from pure grape must. The grapes ferment and mature in a very old cave, without pumpover, filtration, or sulfur and are bottled by hand.

Burgundy, France / Chardonnay / After a long professional life in the fashion world of Paris, Pierre Fenals decided to follow his heart and moved to Burgundy to become a winemaker. As is the way with biodynamics, the universe conspired to introduce Pierre to Rudolf Steiner through happenstance. He bought one of Steiner’s book on a whim at a Parisian flea market and thus began his journey from cloth to vine. This path included raising cows and “interning” with Trapet, Lapierre, and Emmanuel Giboulot. In 2002 he purchased his first 2.5 hectares of vines in Maranges and in the Haute Côtes de Beaune. As for the name Belles Lies, it derives from a practice developed by 17th century monks who would dry their barrels and rub them with the lees from the vintage. A fitting technique for a vigneron who is yielding pure, traditional translations of place.

Burgundy, France / Pinot Noir / This historic estate was established in 1834. Claude de Nicolay took over from her mother as winemaker in 1988 and currently produces wines from one of the Côte d'Or's great terroirs, the hill of Corton and its surrounding villages. Corton is just north of Beaune and it's easy to spot, as it's a big hill with a forest on top bringing a unique biodiversity to the area. Herbicides and pesticides have not been used in the vineyards since the 1980’s and by 2005, the vineyard management was fully biodynamic thanks to Claude’s brother François. The brother-sister team are quite curious and consistently striving with biodynamic practices to acheive the best soil health and expression from their terroir.
