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.

Houas Boukella
Anjou, France
An Algerian from the Berber region of Kabylia in the Tell Atlas mountains, Houas Boukella moved to the Anjou in 2019, and shortly thereafter encountered the wines of Patrick Desplats. Touched by what he felt in Desplats’ wines, Boukella sought out Patrick and after becoming friends with him, was soon working chez Desplats as mentee. Utilizing the methodologies of Pat’s post 2018 winemaking, most of Boukella’s macerations and elévage take place in buried amphorae at the farm of his wife, and directly next to their vegetable garden. My first impression of Houas’ wines were that while complex, they were much more livelier and fresh right out of the bottle than Desplats’ recent cuvées, which I sense are in more of a slumber state at the moment, but will awaken with force in a few years. Regardless, Boukella’s first official vintage is a complex and delicious affair, and something special to behold; soon to be treasures in any serious drinker’s cellar.
