L’India Blanc

Vintage: 2017
Region: Terra Alta, Spain

Greenish-yellow with golden highlights in the glass when the light catches it the right way. Sweet fennel and other herbs can be detected on first sniff with pear and tropical fruits eventually rising from the glass. Broad and unctuous with a light glycerin mouthfeel, marked acidity and white pear, white peach, warm grass flavors. Also, is that a touch of sweet hay or lanolin?

Salmon nigiri, spicy cuisine, charred octopus, braised rabbit

The winery has only been up and running for about 9 years! They are now located in an old wine cathedral called Catedral di Vi.

Placido Volpone Altomare

Vintage: 2019
Region: Puglia, Italy

Fermented in oak barrels with light battonage (stirring on the lees) for extra body and texture. The nose is ripe with exotic fruits like pineapple, mango and papaya sprinkled with lime zest and nestled in a hollowed out grapefruit with tangerine wedges and little white flowers all around. The palate carries all of these fun fruity flavors and adds soft almond and a hint of a salty sea breeze.

Scallops with parsley butter, lemon pepper wings, caprese salad

Placido Volpone is one of the first wineries to certify the supply chain of its wine via Blockchain technology.

Le Petit Blanc

Vintage: 2020
Region: Languedoc, France

Slightly acidic, flush with fruit and soft on the palate - the trifecta for a “little white French sipper.” Chamomile and yellow apple flavors dominate before petite white flowers and a touch of crisp acid wrap it up.

Aperitif, seafood platters, trendy beans-in-olive-oil dishes

The Donjon wine family waters a portion of their vines thanks to an old agreement document signed between a village and the family patriarch. In exchange for fixing a dam washed away by a flood, they were to receive water for their vines til the end of time. The dam was repaired in 3 days and lasted for centuries.

De Andres Sisters Binario Crianza

Vintage: 2018
Region: Rioja, Spain

Muddled raspberries and sweet cinnamon with tart cherry and a hint of pink peppercorn. A light wine for Rioja it manages to balance a fresh, tart acidity with the lush ripe red fruits the region is known for.

Risotto, chicken kabobs, spanakopita

Ruth and Ana, the two De Andres sisters, are polar opposites. Ruth is the winemaker. She studied chemistry and enology in Spain, while Ana is the project manager who runs the day to day operations.

Ca de Lion Barbera

Vintage: 2019
Region: Piedmont, Italy

Expressive, tart, juicy and intense. Shy on opening, it quickly blossoms into a bouquet of wonderful red fruits, a touch of coffee, a handful of florals, and a few other goodies as well!

Bolognese, pesto pasta with a touch of mint, leftovers and a dream

Barbera wines made in the region must be made before March 1st, immediately following the harvest, and must reach at least 11.5% alcohol to bear the name!

Julien Mus Bon Ju Rouge

Vintage: 2020
Region: Cotes de Rhone, France

Brambley and bright with a Juicy Juice mix of red, black and purple berry flavors. A hint of spice joins in on the palate along with fresh strawberry and mulberry.

Nigiri sushi, fried clams, birria tacos

Half of the grapes are handpicked and the other half mechanically from 50 year old vines. All grapes are then hand sorted with double selection before being pressed. After finishing his studies at Beaune in Burgundy, Julien Mus, the winemaker, returned to the Vaucluse and in 2005, after years of working in the cooperative, started Domaine de la Graveirette on his own, with quality being his goal. In 2012 he began working organically and soon after biodynamically, with the 2015 vintage certified by Demeter.
