🍾 Loads of new wine!
• Emotion Cremant Brut Rose: Winemaker Francoise calls Emotion her “Little Darling” - a darling indeed, Emotion is delicately pink with notes of fresh berries and spring flowers.
• Andre Neveu Sancerre Le Manoir: An enchanting combination of floral and fruity on the nose combined with a round texture and flavors of citrus, grapefruit, and minerality.
• Sous la Tonnelle: Made organically from mostly Chenin Blanc with a touch of Chardonnay, Sous la Tonelle is fresh and elegant with fruity pear, tropical fruit, stony minerality, and crispy acidity.
• Chateau de Vaux Molozay Les Gryphees Moselle: Norbert and Marie-Genevieve Molozay instantly fell in love with Chateau de Vaux and purchased the 400 year-old property in 1999. Fermented completely in stainless steel, you can expect this wine to be crisp and clean with high acidity and an unexpected fruity softness.
• Klemens Weber Riesling: We’re 100% here for this liter of barely off-dry Riesling. Halbtrocken means “half-dry,” which is exactly what you get with fruit-forward apple and pear paired with zippy lemon-lime acidity

🍷 And more wine!
• Pinot Noir: “We have to have this on our shelf!” was our immediate reaction when this beautiful Pinot Noir touched our lips.
• Freedom Hill Pinot Noir: We’re heading to Freedom Hill for a darker pigmented Pinot Noir with woodland berries, dried roses, earthy spices and just enough tannins for structure and dimension.
• Chateau Massiac Minervois Rouge: Chateau Massiac was built in the 17th century in the Languedoc’s appellation of Minervois, and the wine channels all of those rustic vibes with black raspberry, black currant, savory herbs, cigar, and spice.
• Montevecchio Rosso Field Blend: Brambly raspberry, black cherry, and pomegranate exude pie-like vibes with baking spices and savory herbs
• Beaujolais: Coming from a parcel just outside the Brouilly Cru that was planted in 1914. A serious but easy-drinking wine with pops of cranberry, cherry, and gentle tannins.

New week, new wines! Antech Emotion Cremant Brut Rose: Emotion comes from Limoux, the original birthplace of sparkling wines where monks began making sparkling wine in 1544. That’s about 150 years before Dom Perignon began producing Champagne! Winemaker Francoise calls Emotion her "Little Darling...

🍷 New week, new wines!
• Eric Cottat Sancerre: Our fan favorite Sancerre is finally back in stock with a new vintage! Eric Cottat is a tiny producer and making some truly fantastic Sancerre. Gorgeous minerality and balanced acidity pair with lemony citrus and white flowers for a full, lively and fresh wine.
• Chardonnay: Returning to the shelves! This wine taught us what a French Chardonnay is: unoaked, crisp and sophisticated, and just damn delicious.
• Bednarik Vineyard Pinot Noir: From Evan Martin’s rugged McMinnville winery, Bednarik Pinot Noir comes from own-rooted vines (aka ungrafted) in a secluded part of the Tualatin Hills appellation. Silky smooth with generous amounts of strawberry, cranberry and dark cherry mingling with allspice, cloves, dried herbs and plenty of earthy undertones. We loved it and so do the critics: 96 Decanter & 95.5 Jeb Dunnuck.
• Clos du Caillou le Bouquet des Garrigues: Big french wine alert! Coming from within a stones throw of Chateauneuf, buckle up for this dense, rich French red which could easily rival the wines of the aforementioned. Aged half in concrete and half in foudre, we loved bold structure and delicate tannins paired with red berries and wild herbs.

🍸 And Vermouth fans, we’ve added two more to the shelf! Don’t miss Cocchi Vermouth Di Torino and Cocchi Rosa Americano Vermouth.

🍷 Negro Angelo & Figli Roero Arneis Serra Lupini: The grape Arneis is one of my absolute favorites. It’s lovingly referred to as “little rascal,” which is a tribute to the grape’s finicky temperament. Big whiffs of floral come off the glass and pair with sandy minerality, stone fruit, a hint of hazelnut and lemon-lime acidity.
