Ludovic Chansonâs first vintage of solo production was 2009 after leaving a career in pharmaceutical research and shadowing renowned producers in France. Based in Montlouis sur Loire, he has a non-interventionist philosophy to winemaking that led him to hand harvest with successive passes to select only grapes at optimal ripeness. His primary aim is to craft wines that best express the minerality of the silex and perruches soils of Montlouis.

Sans Pagne | A pét nat made from a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Beautifully textured with soft, round bubbles, and a bright, lemony acidity.

Andréa Calek has many mythologies surrounding him as to how he ended up in the ArdÚche making wine (maybe he ran away from his native Czech to avoid the draft?). He spent some time in vineyards in the south of France and fell in with a new wave of winemakers working naturally in ValvigniÚres, where he decided to settle and cultivate a small area of vines located around his cellar. Everything is done by hand and without any input, preserving the purity of the fruit and creating wines with great freshness and energy.

Esmeralda GarcĂa tends her familyâs old Verdejo vineyards in Santiuste de San Juan Bautista where the dry, sandy soils have allowed for vines to thrive on their original rootstocks (she estimates many of them are over 200 years old and predate the arrival of phylloxera in Spain in the late 19th century). Her four sites in Rueda all vary in altitude and soil composition, allowing her to bottle several cuvĂ©es with strikingly different profiles. The arid climate enables her to work without pesticides or chemical additives and in the cellar she initiates fermentation with native yeasts only.

STAFF FAVORITE! Antony Tortul worked in a few regions in the South of France as a viticultural technician and oenologist before deciding to work in the very particular way that he does. Antony is a nĂ©gociant, he buys grapes from various vine-growers in different regions of the Languedoc (and beyond) and vinifies in his cellar in BĂ©ziers. He is rigorous in his selection of vineyards and looks for exceptional terroir and organic/biodynamic viticulture. He has collected around 40 different vineyards of different terroirs, grape varieties and ages of vine (between 40 and 110) â and produces an extensive portfolio of wines that are staunchly zero/zero: no sulphur, no fining, no filtration.

SomlĂłi Juhfark | 100% Juhfark (Sheepâs tail), which is a distinctive white grape variety found almost exclusively in SomlĂł. According to Bay Area restaurateur Jeff Berlin, âitâs the ultimate yin and yang wine in that it is at once rich, opulent and elegant but has such prominent veins of volcanic ash and minerality running through it at the same time. Like a Caligulan feast in a glass.â
Furmint | While most may be more familiar with Furmint from Tokaj, this is a completely different animal. A âfreshâ wine, the naturally high acidity and aromatic neutrality of Furmint allows SomlĂł to shine clearly.

farms biodynamically and vinifies naturally. Twenty percent of the GrĂŒner Veltliner grapes in the Hollötrio undergo maceration with the skins for 3 weeks, which softens the hard edges without adding much tannic influence. This *liter* is immensely crushable, showing flavors of melons, pears, and chamomile.
Thursday, 5/30 from 4-7pm Nick from will be in to pour a banger selection of wines. Oh, and itâs Wine Club pick-up day. WHOA.

.wines is a tiny winery operated by husband/wife duo Rodrigo Martins and Ana Leal in Lisbon, Portugal. Martins describes their approach to winemaking: âIn the vineyards we use no herbicides, no synthetic pesticides, hand work most of vineyards activities and use no irrigation. In the winery we use only natural fermentations, no temperature control on our fermentation vessels, no fining, no filtration, low levels of sulfur. Sustainability is a way of thinking and working where the environment is always the first priority, and the quality of the fruit we produce is at the center of everything, to the benefit of my generation and future generations.â

Based out of Sonoma County, California, Scott and Jenny Schultz work with a handful of growers to source fruit from spectacular vineyard sites, allowing them to keep a hands-off approach in the cellar. The winemaking method at Jolie-Laide is simple: grapes are left whole cluster, foot crushed, and aged in neutral oak. All ferments are done with native yeasts, and the only additions consist of a minimal dose of sulfur before bottling.
