There are few distilleries with a history ahead of its time like Nonino. The grappa distillery has long been female-led since Silvia Milocco Nonino became Italy’s first master distiller in the 1940s, shortly after she mightily began running the distillery following the death of her husband, the third-generation Antonio Nonino. “Silvia’s story changed the course of our family history at a time when women in Italy were expected to stay home, not run distilleries,” says Francesca Nonino, 6th genera

Merlot is back, baby — thanks to Charles Krug (and others, I’m sure). Pro tip: Give this wine a solid half-hour of air time — or decant — before tucking in. Initially rather closed off and slightly green, the merlot’s less effusive elements blow off with a bit of time, and the wine finally comes into its own. Iconic violets are front and center, giving the wine a purple-floral quality that you just don’t find in other grape varietals.

No other variety is as mercurial as Pinot Noir. The fickle, thin-skinned grape, even when grown under the right ultra-specific conditions, can be a pain to produce. Yet those who persevere yield a host of terroir-driven wines ranging from bright and fruity to dark and funky depending on their origin. The spectrum of styles gives the category enough intrigue to make it immensely popular.
