Italian & French Wine Didn't Get
Famous By Accident
I post about weird grapes for a living. My confession: I drink Italian and French wine too.
A famous label isn't a shortcut to quality. These three earn it.

Here's my reasoning for each bottle, so you know exactly what's showing up on your doorstep.
The Confession
Bundle…
Thibault Ducroux, Beaujolais En Roue Libre
"En Roue Libre" means freewheeling, and that's how Thibault makes wine. Hand-harvested Gamay, whole-cluster carbonic, native yeast, unfined and unfiltered.
Try This
L'Erta di Radda, Chianti Classico DOCG
Diego Finocchi bought these vines at 24 and farms them organically. "Erta" means steep slope, which is exactly where they grow.
Try This
Montenidoli, Il Garrulo Chianti Colli Senesi
Elisabetta Fagiuoli arrived in 1965, when there was no road, water or electricity. Over 50 vintages later, she still follows a Chianti recipe from the 1700s.
The Weird Stuff Is Great
So Is This
Three small growers, two countries, zero mega-brands.
Same Countries,
Very Different Bottle
The country on the label isn't a shortcut to quality.
- Famous for the country, not the farming
- Often blended at scale
- Priced for the name
- Easy to find, easy to forget
- Small growers who make their own wine
- Organic farming, all three
- Your money goes to the grower
- A real story in every glass

The Honest FAQ
Is this a subscription?
No. It's a one-time purchase.
Why does a "weird grape" guy have an Italian and French bundle?
Because I drink it too. The trick is skipping the big names and finding the small growers.
Can I buy these wines individually instead of the bundle?
Yes, all three are on the UNPINNED site. Individual orders pay $25 shipping, which the bundle includes.
How fast will it ship?
Usually within 1 to 2 business days.
Where does UNPINNED ship?
Most U.S. states. We can't ship to AL, MS, SD, TN, or UT.
