Canta is a private cave based in Los Angeles.
We ship to most states, and take local
appointments as well. We used to do
deliveries all over LA, but in reality we are
actually only one person and we got pretty
tired of doing that, so please stop by on
a Friday to pick up your wines, or write
to schedule another day. We take our
selections pretty seriously and only offer
what we ourselves have open on the
table most evenings. All wines are organized
above by producer, first name alphabetically,
and new arrivals sit on top of the photo roll.
Please write us with any questions or to build
an order. You can read a little bit more
about Canta here.

We are also available for restaurant
consultation and party + event curation.
Please get in touch with any interest.

Caroline Gimenez

Anjou, France


Technically 2023 marks Caroline Gimenez’s first official vintage, but I feel like I’ve been coming across her wines for a couple of years now, imbibing her early micro-productions sourced from foraged fruit at the underrated Le Denicheur in Paris since early 2022. The wines were pretty discreet then, but her aesthetic connection to Jerome Saurigny was obvious at first sip. Caroline, a filmmaker from Paris is Jerome’s wife, and the two became close as fellow protesters during the gilets jaunes movement of 2018-2019. Gimenez has moved on from solely producing wines foraged or from abandoned sites (although we are offering one), and I would say that her 2023s add even more scope and context to Saurigny’s own growing and vinification practices as of late. With 2025 off to a completely disastrous start here in Los Angeles, Gimenez’s wines bring a certain energetic warmth that’s needed right now, a return to drinking just straight up good wine that doesn’t require any extra intellectualizing, bottles meant to be shared with warmth and love.
