From 2021-2025, Canta operated as an online retail and private client business that sold only wines from producers and importers whom we deeply respected. During that time, we garnered a reputation as one of the premiere online sources for our expert curation of important releases, technical information, and inspired writings about natural wine within the intersections of European, Japanese, and American cultures surrounding it. 

After all of these years spent as both amateurs and professionals, we continue to be inspired by natural wine; how it makes us feel (high), what it can do to our own ways of seeing the world, and perhaps most importantly how it brings people together.

In 2026 we will return in a new form—please be on the lookout.

Mai Lam

Beaujolais, France



The first ever vintage from the Vietnamese born Mai Lam, partner of Sébastien Morin, whose own alt-Beaujolais wines we’ve come to admire over the years. Like Morin, Lam finds that tricky balance of both freshness and depth. La Canaille is crisp and aromatic while L’Indigene goes a bit deeper, asking to be imbibed in more of an at the table situation. Both come highly recommended.
