When you weather the storm and now you want to drink the blue sky 🌤

On a day like today, this wine is perfect to sip outdoors. Let us tell you more about how insanely cool it is...

Bleu Ciel, meaning "blue sky," is a truly unique white blend from a little village in the Southern Rhône region of France.

We had the privilege of meeting its vigneron, Julien Mary, at our takeover tasting last month. He trained for years in an esteemed geologist's vineyard before acquiring his own: . Listening to his story, you can't help but feel inspired to find the blue sky too.

His method of farming is certified organic with a dash of biodynamic practices such as cover cropping and sheep grazing. His background naturally gives him deep knowledge of the soil, which in this case is a coveted clay-limestone.

To make the wine, whole bunches of Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc were directly pressed and transferred to fiber tanks and stainless steel tanks respectively.

Fermentation began spontaneously using only naturally occurring yeasts. Mid-fermentation the Grenache Blanc was transferred to old oak barrels, where it was aged for 5 months. Then came blending and bottling without fining or filtration.

Ya'll MUST come and try some of this blue sky in a bottle, plop on our patio, and relax.

We are starting the week fresh with a young & vibrant red perfect for spring sipping!

One of the world’s most influential female winemakers, Elisabetta Foradori joined her mother in running the family winery in the 1980s and never looked back.

Located in the northern Italian region of Trentino at the foot of the Dolomites, Foradori’s leadership helped revive an almost extinct grape variety native to the region: Teroldego.

This week’s wine is the most light and youthful red of the portfolio: Lezèr by

It is a Teroldego dominant blend, with previous vintages including Schiava and Lagrein, giving it Syrah-like qualities. This expression is meant to be easy drinking due to its shorter maceration on the grape skins and brief aging period- its name means “light” in local dialect.

Lezèr is also meant to be experimental, as it was originally born from hail-damaged vines. Each year aging takes place in a different combination of old oak, cement, steel, and amphora vessels.

Not only that, but it is a perfect wine to celebrate Earth Month and to gear up for our Saturday Biodynamic Wine Tasting! Foradori believes vineyards should be grown in harmony with nature rather than against it. Therefore Lezèr is low-intervention, organic, and spontaneously fermented with few additions.

Remember: Free tastes to the first 20 people in the door today, and 10% off this bottle all week (15% for wine club members).

We're showing some skin this weekend 😜

And by that we mean GRAPE SKIN!

🧡 We are aware that the technical term 'skin-contact white wine' can be a confusing concept for most. Calling it 'orange' only describes the color, because we aren't talking a brunch mimosa here.

🧡 That's right, skin-contact or orange wine is made solely from grapes! When white wine grapes are left to soak or ferment with their skins, the result can be a beautiful coppery, tangerine, or amber hue.

🧡 Not only that, but you get all the refreshing traits of a white wine often with a little tannin and more nuanced flavor.

If you want to learn more and try FIVE of these captivating wines, come to our Skin Contact Whites tasting this weekend!

It's National Women in Wine Day! Shoutout to all the women here at Fermented and everywhere else: you're doing awesome 🥂

Let's chat a little more...

🌸 was founded in 2021 as a social initiative founded by Renae Perry and Yolanda Papapietro, co-owners founders of Papapietro Perry Winery in California.

🌸Why is it important? Women still make up a minority of the wine industry despite great strides made by female winery owners, vintners, and other professionals.

🌸For example, a 2020 university study found that among the 4,000+ wineries in the state of California, 14% of lead winemakers and 38% of owners or co-owners were women. This is despite the fact that 49% of premium wine drinkers in the U.S. are women (IWSR) and 57% of overall wine buyers are women (USA Today).

🌸About 10% of winemakers in Italy were women while 55% of wine consumers were women, as indicated in a recent survey by the UIV-Vinitaly Observatory.

🌸Only 17% of women work in wine in Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, compared to about equal numbers of men and women graduating with oenology degrees.

🌸A study conducted under renowned wine writer Jancis Robinson found that although 8% of wine importers were women, they made up about 44% of students in wine certifying institutes around the world.

🌸This shows women are not lacking wine knowledge and expertise, but many may be lacking equitable access to its production.

🌸Help us support some of our favorite female producers by stopping in and asking us about their wine, and in doing so, amplify their voices even if just a little.

And of course, big thank you to Denise, Rebekah, Caitlin, & Mary for all that you do!

Cheers, ladies 🍾

My Story. The Fermented Story.

Adam Danielson is truly a wine virtuoso. But this savant’s expertise derives more from his lifelong hands on study of wine than from a series of certification classes. Originally from Seattle, but raised in Florida, Danielson began his restaurant career at the age of fifteen, bussing tables at an Italian restaurant. Soon after, he became intrigued by the world of wine and began his pursuit of wine knowledge, a study that he continues to this day.

Having worked for many years in restaurant management, Danielson was given opportunities to manage the wine programs of many reputable dining establishments in Amelia Island, Santa Barbara and Austin, including Brett’s Waterway Café, Zooker’s Café and Parkside Projects. All the while, he continued to voraciously explore wine literature, cultivate his palate by tasting and learning as much as he could firsthand from winemakers and producers. In fact, during his time in Santa Barbara, he volunteered often during the harvest in local vineyards and learned the process of winemaking in wine-production facilities, started a wine blog and even made his own impressive barrel of wine with Paso Robles Cabernet grapes.

Danielson brought his passion for wine — as well as his respect for small producers and the thoughtful and delicate process by which formidable wines are made — to Atlanta in 2014. After re-inventing and re-energizing the beverage program at the iconic steakhouse Hal’s, he left to continue his experience and expertise by taking a job with the National Distributing Company. He is now the Founder and Curator at Fermented.

Now we are here and Fermented is our platform to introduce amazing people to amazing wines. Our mission is to make friends one bottle at a time. By loving people and breaking down the barriers to discovering great wines we will achieve this mission.
