Das Juice 2022 Pet Nat Sparkling Das Juice Pet Nat comes from Prosecco (aka Glera) from the Peters Creek Vineyard in McLaren Vale, South Australia. 95% Glera (Prosecco) cold-soaked and fermented dry on full solids for texture, bottled with the remaining 5% Muscat to complete fermentation in bottle. This one really is the best of both worlds: like a good Prosecco it’s dry and crisp, apple, jasmine and citrus; yet it’s juicy, fresh, and a touch wild. Refreshing and very drinkable. A good time, any time!
Flores 2023 Picpoul de Pinet Fresh new vintage! Picpoul literally means “sting the lips” due to the refreshing acidity the grape offers! This cuvée is made of a selection of the best terroirs from Pinet, Pomerols and Florensac totaling approximately 45 acres of clay-limestone soils. The vineyards overlook the Thau Lagoon, the largest oyster pond in the Mediterranean sea. The sea and lagoon provide an ideal climate to fully develop the aromas of Picpoul by decreasing temperature variances between day and night. Soft, delicate nose with hints of grapefruit, unripe peach, acacia and briney notes. Balanced with good structure and acidity in the mouth, and a saline lingering finish. Perfectly paired with all things seafood!
Colterenzio 2023 Pinot Bianco “Cora” Colterenzio is one of the newest wineries in South Tyrol, composed of over 300 families working together. This is a new-generation cooperative that smashes preconceptions, proving that a humble “coop” can consistently deliver some of the most transparent, expressive wines in the top flight region of Alto Adige. The name Cora is a composition of the two Latin words Cornelianum (Cornaiano) and Appianum (Appiano). The female name underlines the elegance of the wine. Composed of excellent Alto Adige fruit, from vineyards at 1475-1800 feet of altitude, particularly distinctive for Pinot Bianco. Crisp and zesty on the palate, round, with masses of finesse. A perfect aperitif, or with fish dishes.
Ide Wines 2024 Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc Ide Wines from Sonoma County invite you to taste the moment. In Sonoma lore, Wiliam B. Ide presided over the rebellious “California Republic”, an independent nation that, in the summer of 1846, existed for 25 days in between Mexican and American governance of the region. This quixotic moment in time was California’s Ide. A sun-ripened Sauvignon Blanc from the lower Sonoma County valleys, it is bright and aromatic with flavors of tropical fruit leading to flavors of juicy stone fruit, peach blossom and subtle honeyed oak. This wine is crisp and excellently balanced with bright acid, and a long finish that leaves you wanting more.
Lorelle 2023 Pinot Grigio Fresh vintage of one of our Vino staples. Lorelle is produced by John, Lynn, and Andrew Albin, better known as the family trio behind Six Peaks Winery. The fruit for this bottling comes from several vineyards in Willamette Valley, including the two vineyards that sit alongside their home, Laurel and Settler’s Hill. The fruit for this wine comes from den Hoed Vineyard, within the Columbia Valley AVA, where it is a little cooler than other locations in the area. This cooler climate vineyard gives the wine unique freshness and bright acidity. Clean, crisp and delicious drunk alone or with appetizers.
Domaine Le Clos Des Lumières 2023 Côtes du Rhône Rosé Domaine le Clos des Lumières is a 50-hectare, family farm founded in 1946 by the grandfather of the domaine’s current vigneron, Gerald Serrano. The ambitious and talented Gerald Serrano is solely responsible for the recent “coming out” of this estate – Prior to taking things over in 2003 Gerald’s father was selling all grapes on the estate to the local cooperative. Having grown up on the property, Gerald is intimately familiar with the terroir here. The oldest vines now edge 60 years in age and this land really seems to “pack the character in.” A perennial rosé value over here – Superb balance and gorgeous texture.
