🥂 Today is SommMom’s birthday!! 🎉
If you didn’t know, SommMom has been my delivery driver for 4 years but has been my mother for over 37 years 😏 She is my biggest cheerleader and has supported the business every celebratory and challenging step of the way. If you’ve had the privilege of meeting SommMom you know how kind and loving she is! She genuinely cares so much about each and every Tribe member, refusing to utilize the auto-text delivery software I purchased because she wants to personally reach out to everyone she delivers wine to 🥹
A mother of 7 children (no that’s not a typo!) and grandmother to 10 grandchildren, she welcomes all into her home and life with open arms and usually some home-baked desserts too! While I sadly didn’t inherit her cooking skills, I learned everything I know about hospitality from SommMom! Making people feel comfortable, welcomed, and seen are just a few things she excels at. Next time you see her, give her a hug and some happy birthday wishes. We love you SommMom!! ❤️

🧐 Do you know why tannic red wines pair so well with steak? 🍷 🥩
Tannins are polymers that come from the skin and seeds of the grape and the oak that in which the wine is aged. The result is that mouth-drying effect in the front of your mouth, the “cotton ball effect.” Tannins are ionically charged and want to bind to things, especially when they’re young! As soon as you take a sip of that tannic red wine, it starts binding to the proteins in your saliva, making your mouth feel dry. BUT tannins would always rather bind to fat molecules. So when you take a bite of that juicy ribeye with all the marbelized fat (I’m hungry just typing this) and then take a sip of the wine, the tannins bypass the proteins in your saliva to bind with the fatty lipids in the steak! This makes the wine seem smoother and releases more of the flavor in your food. Now THAT’S a match made in heaven! 😋❤️

Speaking of champagne… you obviously have to open a bottle when you buy a house! Today was a grand day of celebration and am so glad that two of my closest friends were with me to share the fun, the spectacular aurora borealis (did anyone else see it?), and of course- some delicious vino 🥂🍷

A huge thanks to for taking my many late night panic calls, and walking me through the million steps to get here to my dream house ❤️

Consumed with gusto on closing day: Charles Mignon Brut Rosé Champagne 🇫🇷& Lunae Ciliegiolo 🇮🇹 which I can confirm pair beautifully with spackle dust in your mouth 😋

“For centuries Champagne has been used to launch marriages and ships. Most assume this is because the drink is so intrinsically celebratory, but in fact, it is used at the onset of these dangerous enterprises because it so capably boosts one’s resolve.”
~Kiera’s favorite quote from Gentleman in Moscow 📖
This week, whether you are looking for a bottle to help you celebrate or to help bolster your courage, we have the wine for you! Come say hello and let us pick out a scrumptious bottle for you 🤗

At Vino Culture we have some rules…
1️⃣ No wine snobs here- just a bunch of wine nerds! We are passionate about wine education and welcome everyone into our classes regardless of where you are on your wine journey. If you think wine is intimidating, pretentious, elitist, and a bit scary, this is the place for you since we are none of those things!!
2️⃣ We don’t use the “s” word. And by that I mean “should.” We don’t talk about what you SHOULD like, what you SHOULD taste, what you SHOULD smell in your wine, what you SHOULD buy! Instead our goal is to empower your palate so you can decide for yourself what you like, taste, smell, and want to buy! We are just here to guide you along the way!
3️⃣ We don’t look down on anyone for what they like to drink. It doesn’t matter what your preferences are, you are welcome here at the shop! We always recommend tasting new things to expand your palates horizons, but ultimately, wine should be enjoyed, so drink what you like!
4️⃣ The only stupid question is the one you didn’t ask! If you have a question, chances are other people do too! So ask away, we LOVE getting all the questions!!!

🤗 So what are you waiting for? Come in and chat with our nerdy team here at the shop! We can’t wait to meet you!!
