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.

Imanol Garay

(Pays Basque, France)




It’s funny how things work sometimes. The other night I revisited a bottle of Hegan Egin 19 with some friends, and then the next morning, out of the blue, I see a call coming from Imanol through WhatsApp. I don’t remember drunkenly texting him about the wine, but somehow he knew that he was on my mind. We mostly chatted about pianos the entire time, and how impossible it’s becoming for both of us to make music and to drink wine at the same time. “Two glasses per three hours of playing music” he said. “There’s absolutely no way” I replied, insinuating that in that amount of time, I would need much more. He doesn’t like how new Yamahas sound, but he said my old refurbished upright from the 90s sounds great, at least from the playing he heard from an instagram post. This week I don’t really feel like writing about what Imanol’s wines taste like, or really anyone’s for that matter, and if you’ve followed Canta for any duration of time, you’ve realized that Garay, working more or less remotely and across the Spanish Basque and French borders is held in high regard over here in our little weird corner of the LA natural wine “scene.” Imanol’s 21s have finally made it out west, and as always, it’s a pleasure to offer.
