Raul Perez & Eugenio Gonzalez planted these Albarin vines on clay/lime soil in 2008. Albarin has nothing to do with Albariño. It makes a sharp-attack wine that is comparable to Chenin but very much its own salty dog, very focused but more outdoorsy than bookish. Satisfyingly complex with much energy, much brightness, much refreshment…. It’s a great summer dinner wine. And you’re a great summer dinner person! Yes, you!
THEY’RE GRRREDOS!
Farmed on rugged granite slopes at over 1000m in the Sierra de Gredos mountains north of Madrid, Hoyanko is nothing short of a minor miracle. Production is very small, our supplies are limited, and the value proposition here is truly amazing.
New releases from Arianna O!
The force of nature that is Arianna Occhipinti – daughter of Giusto Occhpinti of COS – has gone from being a leading figure in the natural wine world, to being a monumental force in Italian wine. Her Frappato at this point defines the grape for most of us, and her SP68 wines are nothing short of iconic. Today we also have her Contrada wines and even a grappa. 👀 Like with all things great and good supplies are limited.

Cool Climate Gems From Northern Italy
Ronchi di Cialla is a historic producer in the Collio Orientali del Friuli, just under three miles as the crow flies from the Slovenian border. Ronchi means “hills,” and Cialla, the name of the valley, comes from the Slovenian word cela which means “riviera.” The sunny slopes of tiny Cialla valley have been planted with vineyards for centuries and are surrounded by woods with chestnut, oak and wild cherry trees.
When Dina and Paolo founded the estate in 1970, they aimed to focus on native varieties. Tonight we pour a few of them: and a rosé of
We also have the ‘Ciallabianco’ (a rich white blend from the Quercigh Vineyard) and their (a grape that was brought back from near extinction by Dina & Paolo in 1976!)

Thing about some wines is, they’re not other wines. Not what you’re used to, maybe something you didn’t think was around at all. Tacherons is affordable, high-altitude Pinot and Chardonnay from the limestone soils of Limoux in France’s Languedoc-Roussillon. Traditionally known for sparkling wines, the region’s high altitude means a cooler climate than the surrounds areas and you can see the snow-capped Pyrenees from here. The wines are lean, clean, and pretty. When they’re gone, they’re gone til the next vintage.

Some magical potions for beating the heat! If you are a fan of wines, in this case , & , these are excellent, clean, organic, very well made wines. Dialed in expressions of these grapes in this place. Also, these are some of the most refreshing wines you’re going to find right now and, I think we can all agree, it’s a little hot. All three wines are eminently . Production is small and the wines sell out.
Seeeriously refreshing: clean and mineral-driven with crisp white orchard fruit and white floral notes. Mirco and Gloria Gottardi grow olive trees and vines on their estate in the Sugana valley in the foothills of the Alps. One our very favorite summer stunners.
Sundays are for eating too much and drinking . is a family winery. Grandma Allimant married Grandpa Laugner giving the winery its name, but in fact the family has 12 generations of winemakers. They farm 12 hectares in Orschwiller, Northern Alsace, from which they make an incredible 15 different wines; a small amount of each. Nicolas Laugner has help from only two part-time employees, his Mom, Dad, and a dog named ‘Falka’.
The 2020 Grand Cru comes from the parcel near the which has been home to grapevines since the year 823AD. Its geology - granite, quartz and volcanic crystal-based soils - gives it an elegance and minerality rarely surpassed at this price range. It’s hard to imagine a more gastronomically friendly wine. Bon Appetit!
Steve Matthiasson is a California legend. Early to organic farming, early to planting more diverse grapes in this state. Mentor to many, second to none. The 2023 rosé is clean, dry, and refreshing with complex Provençal flavors. With naturally low alcohol, it’s light as a feather, almost floating across the palate.

Last call for Pommier & Pinson! Pommier Hauterivien expresses very clear orange oil like its big brother 1er cru Troesmes, while the Pinson is wholly mineral. These two will be back, but they’re about to make way for another of our faves. .pinson.chablis
Elian Da Ros’s ‘Outre Rouge’ 2021 is from the lesser known appellation of south of Bordeaux. Here, a high-toned red wine made from 85% with Malbec and Syrah playing supporting roles. It kicks perfectly with some smoky hard goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, and sourdough. Who needs dinner? 🍷🍅🧨
TODAY 5-7!!
Stop by and spend a few moments with Carlos Raposo and his beautiful wines from the Dão!
Carlos is a young prodigy having started winemaking school at 15, more wine education in France thereafter, earning an additional two degrees, one in winemaking in Bordeaux, and another in vineyard management in Burgundy. This was followed by stints at wineries including Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte and Robert Craig Winery in Napa. Upon returning to Portugal, Carlos was quickly recruited by Dirk Niepoort, working briefly under Luis Seabra, before assuming the head winemaking role all of Niepoort’s dry wines in Douro, Dao, and Vinho Verde in 2012. There is no doubt that he was responsible for some of the most celebrated wines ever at Niepoort.
Carlos went out on his own in 2020, working organic and biodynamic old vine parcels in the Dão. All the wines are organic, and vegan. Everything is vinified in the most delicate way possible, emphasizing transparency and elegance over anything else.
AND HE’S AT DANDELION TONIGHT TO SHARE THESE WINES WITH YOU!!! 😃
TONIGHT 6-8: One wine legend pours another… Spencer Harrington will be behind the bar pouring the wines of Nicole Chanrion of !
“Nicole Chanrion is known as ‘La Patronne’ in the village of Cercié. Her influence in this Beaujolais cru can’t be underestimated – she assists and advises throughout, as well as being completely hands-on in the vineyard and winery.” -
When Nicole began her wine career, women in France were not expected to work in the cellar or the vineyard. Perhaps the office or the lab, but no winemaking. For her, this wasn’t really something she could take seriously... let’s taste!

Bone dry, mineral driven and then some, racy AF…. Chablis combines pure pleasure and precision like little else. We love Chablis, and Guillaume Machaut’s Domaine 47ºN3ºE is a fave. Clarity is one thing that’s always welcome at our table.

Signs of Spring! A tiny drop of powerful Jura wines from Valentin Morel of Les Pieds sur Terre. ‘Hommage à la Canaille’ is a blend of resistant hybrids named after the French rapper. There’s also a red blend, a classic Jura Chardonnay & a topped up Savagnin. Maybe hurry before we drink them all.
does really well in the and our favorite these days is from Nathan K. Gorgeous texture, alluring fruit, real depth of flavor and an appreciable finish.
It’s the counterpoint to the Loire you’ve been looking for. Plus he’s got some pretty cool friends.

Fireworks in a bottle! 🧨 Winemaker Paolo Clemente makes this truly exceptional wine from 33% Fiano, 33% Greco, and 33% Coda di Volpe in Campania. It is one of the more exceptional oranges we’ve tasted... ever.
If only we could have it with a full 7 courses from the amazing at our long-beloved – until then, we’ll settle for pairing it with a Mexican feast in Jackson Heights.

Damn, this wine is good. Bright and crisp, mineral white from Abruzzo. Very fun to drink. Lemon and slate, saline finish, lots of texture. Mostly old-vine Pecorino with about a third even older Chardo. All estate, partially de-stemmed, macerated a few hours on the skins. Gem!
TONIGHT 5-7: Special Saturday Winemaker Tasting!
Natalia Jessa is behind the bar pouring 3 of her gorgeous Portuguese wines.
Natalia is on the forefront of becoming the new face of Portuguese wines and one of the hardest working people around. Having relocated to Portugal for love from Poland via Ireland to Oporto, Natalia has really taken grasp of what is virtually an underserved market for inexpensive and incredibly delicious Portuguese wine. She says it herself in the most charming broken Portu/Polish English accent: “Drink it, don’t overthink it.” And these wines overdeliver in a BIG way.
All of these wines named themselves. After releasing their bouquets, Natalia chose floral names and elegant designs to represent how the wines express themselves aromatically. She knows - she’s one of the best blind tasters around. Don’t miss this one folks!

TONIGHT 6-8! The Wines of Jász Laci: Taste the Volcano!
Some of the most dynamic and interesting orange wines we can think of come from Hungary, in particular the volcanic soil regions around Somló, an extinct volcano about two hours drive from Budapest. Whites too – transparent, elegant and very mineral drive. It’s about the deep, smoky basalt terroir, but it’s about the indigenous grapes too of course. Grapes like Olaszrizing, Juhfark, Pàtria, & Hárslevelű. 🇭🇺
Visionary niche importer Athena Bochanis will be behind the bar pouring smokey orange and intense mineral white from these volcanic soils. Laci Jász is natural winemaker we’ve been championing for some years now. He founded the “Nagy Bajuszú Jász Laci Pincéje” (The Big Mustached Jász Laci Winery!) in 2013. He loves making wines that spend time on their skins (orange wines) in accordance with the ancient Kartulian (ancient Georgian) methods. He adds zero or very little sulfur in the cellar, and tries to let the winemaking happen slowly and naturally. Everything is organic. No pesticides or herbicides are used. And all the wines are unfined (vegan) and roughly filtered if at all. Come join us to check out this new slate of stunners from Somló!

These sunny days remind us how lucky we are. Fond Cypres is named for the many Cypress that line the road to the domaine, and the wines are as light, elegant and refreshing as those trees. Literally easy-breezy. ☀️
New Bubbles Alert: Fumey-Chatelain Cremant du Jura. Elegant with herbal notes and a striking, central minerality, this bottle also offers what not enough can – pure joy. Not a bad idea for Sunday.

#RibeiraSacra is a region of steep terraced vineyards in Galicia, in northwestern Spain. Wine has been made here since Roman times at least and Pedro Rodriguez of Guimaro continues a tradition that spans many generations. More importantly, this is great wine, that really expresses this place, and at a fraction of what you’d pay for equivalent wine from France or Italy. It can’t be said enough how much greater the values are in Spain and these wines are an excellent example of that. The Tinto brings to mind blood, red earth, macerated cherries, and smoke. There’s a glassy texture, and a very graceful finish, like a game bird disappearing slowly into a wood. The Blanco is our bet for white wine of the month - at least! Summer-fresh, lightly aromatic orchard fruit fused with mineral notes, overall a juicy and refreshing palate with saline on the finish. The Meixemen brings even more depth and complexity to the familiar flavors expressed in the Tinto – adding red currant, pomegranate and orange oil. We like to decant this one. It’s a #treatyourself wine. These wines are gonna dial it in for you effortlessly. And reward you greatly. @adegasguimaroficial #drinkwine #naturalwine #organicwine #mencia #godello #greenpoint
