This is an awesome online company that specializes in French wines from boutique producers. I started ordering from them last year when a guy on the boards recommended a wine (2003 Chateau Le Puy Cuvee Barthelemy). I did a google search and discovered the site. Their prices are reasonable and they have great wines. Here are some favorites:

Domaine Larue - 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Le Trezin
Domaine Bachelet-Ramonet - 2005 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
Domaine Ferme Saint Martin - 2005 Beaume de Venise Diapir (organic)
Chateau Tour Grand Faurie - 2000 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

If you look at their site, they explain why their company is called AOC http://www.aocwines.com/aoc_define.html No affiliated with the restaurant.

Finally I bought some wine off a recommendation from the Board. WOW...I'm speechless. I'm a BIG fan of cult Bordeaux wines. It was a 2003 Chateau Le Puy Cuvee Barthelemy (100% Biodynamic & Organic). This wine is an incredible example of terroir! Soft tannins with a super long finish and a complex nose of currants ripe fruit and hints of coco.

The guy who recommended it said it was hard to find in Los Angeles. I had no problem finding this wine. Actually, I stumbled across a really cool website that specializes in French wines and they delivered it to me next day.

Check out: http://www.aocwines.com. $100 a bottle.
