Lone Birch Red 2023 $15 - This wine showcases a harmonious blend of fruit-forward character and structured tannins. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve the vibrant fruit flavors, it undergoes partial aging in oak barrels, adding subtle complexity.

Puglia

 Flight of 5 wines $16 with 3 additional for purchase.

The relatively flat topography of Puglia, the warm climate, and the rich sand-clay soils make the region an agricultural haven. These features also enable Puglia to be a volume leader when it comes to grape growing in Italy; it easily vies with the Veneto and Emilia-Romagna for the distinction of the region that produces the most wine. The spectrum of grapes grown here is noteworthy, too; this is crucial to Puglia’s great cultural—and agricultural—heritage. But this abundance can make it challenging to zero in on wines made with thoughtful intention and care; there are countless gallons to wade through, and while more small, family producers are emerging, large corporations still dominate the marketplace. 

 Searching for the gems, though, comes with rewards. Years ago, Primitivo (named for its tendency to ripen early) was the first Puglian grape I really tried to grasp. The native grape has a famous California twin, Zinfandel, making it an approachable place to start. Plus, there was a good amount of it coming into the States in the early 2000s. It wasn’t until I had the chance to visit Puglia that it became clear that Primitivo accounted for a relatively small concentration of plantings (mainly in the Manduria, Gioia del Colle, and Salice Salentino areas) when compared with the vast sea of Negroamaro.

 Borgo dei Trulli Primitivo Rosato 2025 $21 - An elegant pink with tones of seashells and peonies, this wine expresses scents and flavours of strawberries, Passion Fruit, watermelon and orange blossom. The palate is full, fresh and crisp, with good acidity and a lingering sensation of citrus fruit and minerals. 

 Copertino Riserva 2017 Negroamaro $17 - Hailing from the deep south of Italy, Copertino is a truly unique red wine. There is only one producer available in Massachusetts - the Cupertinum Cantina Sociale Cooperativa di Copertino, a group of one thousand growers who own about an acre each on average. The wine is aged to perfection at the winery so it is at its complex, resolved best when it arrives on our shores. Old school in all the right ways, this blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera is an earth-first red with integrated tannins and loads of local spice. 

 Copertino Primitivo 2023 $20 - An umami and earthy nose offers aromas of new leather, balsamic and top soil, but also a saline freshness. The palate brings more earth and salt, which fit well within the structure provided by lean tannins, but also the energy of tart blackberries, spicy pepper and a blast of acid.

 Pietraǹentosa "Volere Volare" Primitiǹo Puglia IGT 2022 $24 - Supple, fresh, and medium-bodied with an energetic, crunchy fruit core, blood orange acidity, soft tobacco, and chalky minerality. It leads with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and violets, layered with unique notes of Mediterranean scrub, rosemary, sage flowers, and a hint of chili pepper.

 Antica Enotria Puglia Rosso Nellamiaterra 2023 $22 - Antica Enotria Puglia Rosso, organic red wine from Puglia, Montepulciano, Nero di Troia, Sangiovese. Characteristic bouquet of cherries and forest berries. On the palate it is smooth and dry, with balanced tannins and a good freshness. Blended Nero di Troia and Sangiovese, aged in stainless steel tanks for 7months.

Bonus Wines

Antica Enotria Bianco Nellamiaterra 2024 $22 - Falanghina, Fiano. The wines are made with native varieties, in this case Falanghina and Fiano, which despite the heat can make wines that retain freshness and balance. Expect heaps of lean citrus fruit.

 Antica Enotria Nero di Troia 2022 $32 - Nero di Troia - also known as Uva di Troia - is a red grape variety native to northern Puglia, particularly around the provinces of Foggia and Barletta-Andria-Trani, near where Madri Leone farms its vineyards.

 Its name likely comes from the ancient town of Troia, but myths link it to Greek heroes and the aftermath of the Trojan War. While the history may be hazy, the grape’s identity is anything but: structured, aromatic, and powerful, it’s one of Puglia’s most important indigenous varieties.

 Pietraventosa Riserva Primitivo Puglia IGT 2019 $59 - The Riserva comes from 50-year-old, head-trained vines. The soils are made up predominately of limestone with a top layer of iron-rich, red clay. Dark fruits, rich palate, spice and vibrant acid.

Tuscany

In ancient times, the area of Tuscany and its environs were part of the Etruscan empire. The Etruscans were the first vintners to work the land. They trained their grapevines with natural, high-trellis supports like fig, olive, and nut trees. Eventually, the area was taken over by the Romans.

During the Medieval period, wine was a major commodity in Tuscany. Wine sales were documented as early as 1079 in association with the Mercato Vecchio in Florence. Local wine merchants formed a guild in 1282 in an attempt to promote and regulate their trade. Many of the Tuscan wines we know today—Chianti, Brunello, Trebbiano, and Vernaccia—can be traced back to the 14th century. 

From the time of the post-World War II reconstruction through the 1970s and ‘80s, Tuscan wine production focused largely on quantity over quality. It was also during this period that many of the region’s large estates, which had been historically owned by local nobility, were sold to non-Tuscans. But the wine region went through a rebirth in the 1970s and ‘80s, which gave way to the premium quality regional wines that are world-renowned today. Meanwhile, the torch for Tuscan viticulture is being carried by the diverse mix of Tuscan, Italian, and foreign winemakers that have taken over the old estates—and introduced new ones.

Dei 2024 Toscana Bianco Martiena $20 -  Dei Martiena is a rare white wine produced from Chardonnay, Malvasia, Grechetto, and Sauvignon Blanc. Dei Martiena offers fresh, vitalizing aromatics: soft scents of apple, yellow plum and wild flowers delight the nose. In the mouth it refreshes the palate and enlivens the senses with a beautiful combination of gentle fruit, bright acidity, and subtle minerality.

Sociale Chianti Classico 2024 $15 -  95% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot. The vineyards are trained using the spurred cordon method, have an average age of 12 years, and are farmed organically. The pebbly, mineral-rich, south-east facing lands enjoy an ideal micro-climate that gives the Sangiovese grapes their lively fruitiness.

Castello di Farnetella 2023 Chianti Colli Senesi $21 - Tuscan red from Castello di Farnetella, an estate owned since 1981 by the Poggiali family of Felsina fame. It sits in the Colli Senesi hills southeast of Chianti Classico, near Montalcino and Montepulciano, farmed organically.

La Fortuna 2023 Rosso Toscano “Fortunello" Montalcino $22 - This is 100% Sangiovese and spent a few months in oak. The nose is classic, ripe cherries and strawberries with a hint of cocoa powder. On the palate of this full-bodied wine, you will find the fruit described above, plus a touch of minerals and soft tannins, which gives this wine a very lush feel to the palate and an incredibly long finish.

Piaggia IGT Toscana “Pietranera” 2023 Carmignano $27 - Carmignano wine is a historic red wine from a small Tuscany region west of Florence. It holds DOCG status and is uniquely required by law to blend 10% to 20% Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc with at least 50% Sangiovese, making it a centuries-old precursor to modern Super Tuscans.

The 2023 Piaggia Pietranera Toscana IGT is a vibrant expression of Sangiovese blended with a touch of Cabernet, grown in the clay and galestro soils of Poggio a Caiano. It pours a deep, intense ruby red and opens aromatically with ripe cherries and Marasca cherries, layered with balsamic hints, sweet spices, thyme, and a whisper of cocoa. 

Avignonesi IGT Toscana Bianco “Dadi” 2024 $30 - Intense golden yellow in colour. On the nose, it offers freshness and elegance, opening with notes of white peach, pineapple, and delicate hints of lemon zest. On the palate, its lively freshness fills the mouth and accompanies the entire tasting experience. The body is full and well-structured, supported by a light yet noticeable tannin. 30% Trebbiano, 29,6% grechetto, 20,7% petit manseng and 19,7% vermentino.

Agostina Pieri 2024 Rosso di Montalcino $31 - The Pieri Rosso seeks for the best balance between tradition and modernity. There’s always precocious Sangiovese fruit, but it is coupled with the modest color and substantial texture of the best traditional wines. Vibrant red and black fruits. Dark cherry with earth and firm tannin.

Castell'In Villa Chianti Classico 2020 $43 - This is always one of my favorite Chiantis. From a medieval village just north of Castelnuovo Berardenga, this traditionalist, longer élévage take on Chianti Classico is the way wines from the appellation should taste! Dusty, grippy tannins frame a palate full of red fruit, woody herbs, & leather.

Join us every Friday for a different themed wine flight 4 - 8pm. $16 for a flight of 5 wines with 3 additional for purchase.

The Flight 4 - 8pm $16 

Bois de Boursan Cuvee Le Petit Oursan Blanc - Made of 100% Clairette from 30-year-old vines planted in a clay-limestone parcel in the town of Jonquières, the “Petit Oursan” Blanc is a multi-vintage blend (typically 50% from the most recent harvest and 50% from the prior harvest) raised entirely in enameled cuve. Clean, gently floral, and taut but mouthfilling, it shows subtle notes of fresh almonds and fennel.

Château Castagnac Bordeaux Superior 2022 $13 - Mostly Merlot with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. Bright acidity, blackberry fruit, pepper, and savory spice with a light layer of structured tannins.

Notre Dame des Pallieres Sablet Côtes du Rhône L'Olivet 2024 $16 - The Domaine’s vines of Sablet are located on the slopes overlooking the village for Grenache and are a minimum of 40 years old. The Sablet appellation is located in the east of the Côtes du Rhône valley, about 12 miles east of Orange. Very beautiful purple color, bright brilliant. Nose of fresh fruit, intense, on morello cherry, blackberry, red fruit coulis. The palate is fleshy, round, crisp, full of fruit, with matter, without hardness and silky tannins. 

Domaine de la Graveirette “Ju de Vie” Rouge 2023 $17 - This vibrant fruit-forward wine is fermented and aged exclusively in cement vats, a winemaking choice that preserves freshness and purity of fruit. The wine showcases medium body with a lively character, combining concentrated dark fruit elements with subtle herbal and floral complexity. Grenache, Merlot and Mourvèdre.

Château des Adouzes “Le Tigre” 2023, AOP Faugères $23 -  The Syrah and Grenache are vinified traditionally with destemming and 20-30 days of vatting. The wines age in concrete tanks for 12 months before blending and bottling at the château. Le Tigre red wine shows cassis and raspberry with hints of pepper and spice on the nose. The palate is structured and smooth with fresh fruit flavors. Nice acidity provides freshness on the finish.

Bonus Wines 

Clos des Rocs Macon-Loche En Pres Fôret 2024 $28 - This is not your grandmother's Chardonnay! The soils are characterized by iron-rich clay and limestone, often with up to 30cm of dense limestone pebble dispersion at the surface. The resulting wines are leaner than their counterparts in neighboring Pouilly Fuisse and carry a hint of earth, yet they are quite rich in mineral, with enough fruit density to properly support the robust structural elements. Aged in stainless steel. The result is generous yet elegant, with a pronounced saline streak and the structure to age a decade or more. Intensely mineral Macon at a steal.

Saint-Galet Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023 $29 - Aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as kirsch, raspberry compote, and warm plum, with notable hints of the region's famed garrigue and trailing notes of licorice, and cracked pepper.

The palate is generous without heaviness, the tannins are quite fine and the flavors follow the aromas, with savory spice, and a clean, mineral‑tinged finish that keeps it balanced and highly drinkable.

Georges Lignier Marsannay Rouge 2023 $61 - The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked at the domaine for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008. His approach is very traditional, as he seeks to achieve maximum aromatic concentration, above nearly all other characteristics, including structural or color concentration. To achieve this, techniques such as a slightly later harvest and 80% destemming are employed. At the Villages level, the wines are raised in older barrels, while the 1er Crus see 30% new oak, and the Grand Crus 50% new oak. A vein of seductive elegance runs throughout the full range of wines, inviting a complex and beautiful conversation with each glass. The sensitive palate will thoroughly enjoy this approach, a statement of respect for the grandest of traditions in Burgundy and a sublime expression of the terroir underlying some of the most renowned sites in the Cote de Nuits. Bright red. Very spicy scents of red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate, accented by positive hints of pepper and herbs. Juicy, dry and penetrating; a bit more serious today than the Bourgogne but still with enticing, pure red fruit flavors. Here the tannins are a bit granular and strict.

We’ll have Meg from Flipturn pouring her wines 5 - 7pm.

Let's taste some wines from Italy this Friday. Grapes like Nebbiolo. Frappato, Monica, Barbera and Schioppetino from the far north to the Island of Sicily. The reds are lighter in body and will be perfect in this week's heat!

The Flight 4 - 8pm $16 for 5 pours

Roncade Pinot Grigio 2024, Venezia $16 - Bright pale gold with deliciously inviting fleshy peach gusto, fresh citrus zeal and succulent pineapple appeal and a riveting fresh finish.

Alcesti Rosso Isola Sicily 2025 $15 - Nero D'Avola and Periconne. The taste of wine is young, light, fresh, harmonious, balanced, with a good structure and soft texture. Fresh, lively aroma of the wine is filled with tones of ripe red berries and fruits.

Cantina di Casteggio Barbera 2022, Lombardy $15 - The nose opens with intense perfume of black fruits — blackberry and blueberry — layered with tart cherry, violet, and a subtle earthy undertone. Anise and dried herbs emerge with time in the glass.

Luigi Giordano 2024 Vino Rosso, Piemonte $21 - This is 80% Nebbiolo co-fermented with 20% Arneis and aged briefly in stainless steel. The Arneis helps the aromas really pop with scents of ripe raspberry and strawberry fruit accented by notes of berry blossom, spice and leather. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with tangy-ripe berry and cherry fruit, baking spice, and summery floral flavors and nicely fine-grained tannins at the end. Looking like a darker rose, 

Gebbia Frappato 2023 Sicily $21 - Only 6000 bottles made. Aged 8 months in concrete tanks. Light-bodied, fruity and floral, with aromas of black plum, blueberry and fig. Rich with flavor while still soft and vibrant, bursting with inky black plum, blueberry, fig and a dusting of lavender.

Bonus Wines 

Cardedu Monica di Sardinia 2024 $26 - The local Monica grape is fermented with native yeasts in cavernous cement tanks under the house. A zingy light bodied red wine. Think spicy-underbrush, herbal notes, and just a touch of fruit. Toasted fregola pasta with small clams, canned sardines, meaty olives. Good with a slight chill. 

i Clivi Schioppettino Venezia Guilia 2023 $33 - The color of the I Clivi Schioppettino is brilliant ruby red with a moderate transparency. The nose reveals scents of cherry and strawberry, with a slight peppery-spiciness. Medium in body, the i Clivi Schioppettino shows prominent acidity and a delicacy reminiscent of red-fruit pulp.

Winemaker Mario Zanusso's idea is to craft a red wine consistent with the character of Ribolla Gialla (Schioppettino is also known as Ribolla Nera). This red, therefore, plays on acidity, salinity, moderate alcohol (12.5%), with a seducing strawberry color and a touch of spicy, peppery notes under the nose.

Podere Ruggeri Corsini Barolo Bussia 2021 $60 - Intense ruby red. The nose reveals an intense and complex bouquet with fruity notes of cherry and plum, complemented by savoury hints of tobacco. Rich and elegant on the palate with well-integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity, long and persistent on the finish.

Join us for our weekly wine flight 4 - 8pm $16 for 5 pours with 3 additional for purchase.

For this week's flight let's do a little comparison between Chile and Argentina. Emily from Handcrafted will be here to talk about the wines so quiz her.

While they both occupy the southwestern part of South America they are quite different. This is probably too simplistic, but you can compare the 2 regions to the Willamette Valley and eastern Oregon and Washington. Chile being coastal with more rain and cooler temperature and Argentina being hotter with much drier conditions due the rain shadow of the Andes mountains.

Chile

It’s often said that Chile is the only major wine-producing country where you can ski in the morning and surf in the afternoon. With an average width of just 110 miles, grapes grown throughout Chile benefit from a unique combination of influences: The Andes in the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the valleys and Central Mountain range that lies between the two. Add to that a north-south distance of 2,654 miles, and the diversity of micro-climates is seemingly infinite.

The Andes run along Chile’s eastern border with Argentina, from the desert north to the more verdant south of Patagonia. But those towering mountains provide more than just altitude changes: as a result of the breezes that sweep into the valleys below, they provide a perfect cooling counterpoint to the ample sunshine, resulting in wines of balance and tension. Add to that a panoply of sedimentary soils, and Chile has all the ingredients necessary for world-class wines.

Argentina

The majority of Argentina's vineyards are located at the base of the Andes Mountains, in an area with both ample sunshine and snowmelt for irrigation. These conditions result in plump, deep-colored wines of which Malbec is the most important variety. High elevation vineyards (upwards of 7,500 ft!) have cool nighttime temperatures which help to maintain acidity in the wines. Beyond Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and an aromatic white called Torrontés are all well-worth exploring.

Mendoza is the largest, most important wine region, accouting for 75% of Argentina's vineyards. Red wines are the focus here and certain areas stand out above the rest in terms of quality. For example, the sub-regions of Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley have the highest elevations, which result in wines with higher acidity. The acid adds freshness and age-ability. Other Mendoza regions offer terrific value, including San Raphael and Santa Rosa, where there are many old vines plots producing more concentrated wines.

The Flight

Casas del Bosque La Cantera Sauvignon Blanc 2024, Chile $21 - The grapes come from the “La Cantera” vineyard, planted on a red clay hillside of decomposed granite, facing east, very exposed to the sun and the sea breezes characteristic of the Casablanca Valley.As clean, fresh and focused as Chilean Sauvignon Blanc comes, this is a good-value, stainless steel-fermented white with some subtle, gunflint reduction on the nose, passion fruit and gooseberry flavours, a touch of saltiness and a chiselled finish. 

Santa Julia + Malbec 2024, Argentina $15 - Maipu, Santa Rosa & Uco Valley vineyards, Mendoza. Good complexity in the nose with typical Malbec aromas of ripe fruits such as figs, plums, blackberries and marmalades. Notes of vanilla, tobacco , coffee and chocolate.

Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva Carmenere 2024, Chile $22 - Bell pepper aromas and a fruit-driven palate. Flavors of ripe berries blend with subtle yet well-integrated green notes. Enough freshness keeps in check the oak spices, resulting in a tasty finish.

Lapostolle Grand Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2024, Chile $23 - The winery is based in the Colchagua Valley, about two hours southwest of Santiago, with its most celebrated vineyards located in the renowned Apalta Valley. Expressive aromas of ripe red fruit with delicate hints of sweet spices. Cedar and tea leaf at the finish.

Zuccardi Q Cabernet Franc 2023, Argentina $27 - Zuccardi Q Cabernet Franc is sourced from select old vines on at the Altamira vineyard in Mendoza. Fresh fruit aromas of cherry, cassis, and violet notes. Lush acidity, firm tannins and a long finish. 

Bonus Wines

Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Carmenere 2024, Chile $30 - Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Carmenére boasts a complex nose with red and black fruit, spice, herbal, and vanilla aromas. Bright and vivid, it is harvested late in the season, producing a medium structure with juicy, round tannins.

Zuccardi Poliganos San Pablo Cabernet Franc 2020, Argentina $36 - Bell pepper, ripe blackberry and herbal notes show on the nose of this well-balanced red. Light notes of rosemary and peppercorn blend with intense red- and black-fruit flavors framed by supple tannins and nice acidity. A hint of herbs in the lingering finish makes it very pleasant.

Catena Alta Malbec 2022, Argentina $62 - The 2022 Malbec Catena Alta brings together historic vineyards from Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley to capture the best of both regions: Luján’s generous, supple tannins and Uco’s juicy, fresh fruit. Aged for up to 18 months in barrel, this wine is the essence of Mendoza Malbec. Intense aromas of fresh plum and delicate balsamic notes float over oak and a floral hint in the background. With indulgent depth and a juicy flow, the 2022 balances plush tannins with refined texture to produce a long and sapid palate with a touch of intensity and subtle concentration. This is a rich wine that raises the bar for Mendoza Malbec.

Spain

As the fourth-largest country in Europe, Spain’s geography and climate are exceptionally diverse, comprising many distinctive regions making equally distinctive wines. It dominates the Iberian peninsula in southwestern Europe, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, north Atlantic Ocean, Bay of Biscay, and Pyrenees Mountains. One of the country’s most distinguishing geographical features, is the Meseta, a wide plateau that covers much of central Spain. 

It is also quite a mountainous country, second in Europe only to Switzerland, allowing producers to harness freshness from altitude even in hot areas. One of these mountain ranges, the Cantabrian cordillera, separates Spain’s cool north coast and protects the rest of the country from rainy winds. While Spain’s climate is largely maritime in the north, it becomes more Mediterranean as the land approaches the sea, with an extreme continental climate defining the inland plateau.

History

Though Spain has really only been catapulted into the international wine spotlight over the past 50 years, its wine heritage is one of the oldest in the world. Grapevines first came to Spain more than 3,000 years ago when the Phoenicians planted vineyards in the region now known as Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. Winemaking continued throughout Roman rule, largely centered along the coasts and even exported to modern-day France and England. 

After a period of decline under the rule of the Moors, wine once again became an integral part of Spain’s culture in the late 1400s. Sherry was a coveted export, and later, the onset of phylloxera in France drove French winemakers to relocate their expertise—and their barricas—to northeastern regions like Rioja and Navarra. Unfortunately, phylloxera soon found its way to Spain’s vineyards, decimating the country’s wine industry. While vineyards were replanted, winemaking technology languished and Spain’s wines largely remained under the radar under the rule of a military dictatorship.

The Flight 4 -8pm $16 for 5 tastes with 3 additional for purchase.

Hacienda Lopez de Haro DOCa Rioja Blanco 2024 $15 - 100% Viura. Bright pale yellow hue, reflecting its youthfulness and vibrancy. As the glass is brought to the nose, intense aromas of stone fruits such as peach and apricot unfold, accompanied by a subtle citrus hint of lemon that adds vitality. On the palate, it is smooth, with a refreshing acidity that perfectly balances its fruity character.

The palate is brisk but not thin, carried by Godello’s subtle breadth, Albariño’s sea-spray lift, and Treixadura’s gentle floral spice. It finishes long, clean, and mineral, with the kind of mouthwatering, rocky persistence 

Álvaro Palacios 2024 Priorat Camins del Priorat $31 - 40% Garnacha, 20% Cariñena, 20% Syrah (much higher in Syrah), 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot.

Loire Valley 

While the region is France’s third largest wine-producing region by volume (and the largest for AOC-based white wine), the Loire Valley manages to provide incredible focus, consistency, and quality. Sommeliers and wine buyers have come to depend on the region’s 51 official appellations for a variety of refreshing sparkling wines, crystalline whites, playful rosés, profound reds, and long-lived sweet wines often tinged with noble rot. 

Two thousand years of continuous viticulture has helped forge this reputation, but so has a region-wide effort to embrace sustainable viticulture and terroir-centric winemaking. Today, 30% of the valley’s vineyards are either farmed sustainably or organically—a figure that increases each year. This forward-thinking ethos has secured acclaim for present-day vintages, but more importantly, promises a bright future for the Loire’s wine industry.

Cabernet Franc

This was the Loire’s first red grape variety, introduced into the region in the 11th century, with its signature notes of black cherry, violets, black-pepper spice, and tobacco leaf, the wild and distinctive red wines of Cabernet Franc from the Loire are frequently identified in blind tastings. Many of the most noteworthy wines come from the Middle Loire—where it is the principal red grape—at such laudable appellations as Chinon, Saumur, Anjou, and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. Rosé hailing from the Loire’s Cabernet Franc can be fresh and fruity with a touch of minerality, such as Cabernet d’Anjou.

Sauvignon Blanc

In the Middle and Centre Loire, Sauvignon Blanc takes on a vibrancy and energy that has inspired generations of wine lovers worldwide, especially those from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, known for their signature aroma of smoke or gunflint. In addition to these sought-after wines, look for 100-percent varietal bottlings from Quincy, Reuilly, Touraine, and Menetou-Salon.

Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc is native to the Loire valley and the star of the Middle Loire (Anjou and Touraine regions), where it produces some of the most age-worthy white wines in the world, both dry, sweet, and sparkling. The best-known Chenin Blanc wines hail from Anjou, Savennières, Saumur, and Vouvray, but numerous appellations continue to embrace the variety. Known for its high acidity and extract, Chenin Blanc can yield a wild spectrum of aromas ranging from pear, apricot, and quince to hazelnuts and marzipan with age. In Crémant de Loire, Chenin Blanc’s presence in the cuvée lends these traditional-method sparkling wines a unique aromatic twist not found in other crémants. When affected by the noble rot, Botrytis cinerea, the grapes manage to thread the needle between richness and vivacity.

The Flight: Portugal 4 - 8pm $16 for a flight of 5 wines.

No other country can match Portugal’s range of indigenous wine grape varieties, a rich palette for winemakers that goes back to the Bronze Age. Tartessians, Romans, and Phoenicians introduced winegrapes here, and viticulture eventually spread across Portugal’s diverse geography. Isolated from the rest of Europe, many unique wine varieties developed there as vines accustomed themselves to extremes in soil, weather and altitude. 

Now, in a small country with over 250 unique, indigenous wine grape varieties to choose from, it is not surprising that Portuguese winemakers usually draw from a variety of grape sources to create balanced, flavorful blends. The result is that Portugal is blessed with a treasure chest of unique and distinctive wines.

Portuguese blends, with their distinctive combinations and unique character, reward people seeking diversity. These wines, at their best, often from small but distinct regions, combine ancient winemaking wisdom with the latest scientific and technical knowledge to put the wonder and pleasure back in wine.

The Flight: Spain

Spain sits among the world’s most important wine countries, with over one million hectares under vine across 139 wine-producing regions. But while Spanish wine is no longer unfamiliar to the U.S. wine trade and consumers alike, the sheer range of quality wines produced across this Iberian country is often underestimated.

To classify the wines of Spain under a single style or character would be impossible. This is a country of exceptional diversity, with vines planted across a huge range of climates and geographies. Vineyards stretch from the lush and rainy coasts of Green Spain to the extreme and arid plains of the Meseta, from the valleys carved by the Ebro River to the volcanic Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa.

The sheer number of grape varieties also widens the spectrum of Spanish wines. More than 200 grape varieties are grown here, from international favorites to the country’s many local specialties, like Tempranillo, Mencía, Albariño, and Verdejo. While local winemakers carry on the traditions passed down through Spain’s winemaking history, they also look to push their industry forward, experimenting with styles and increasingly focusing on organic viticulture.

Zarate Albariño 2025 Rias Baixas $28 - Rias Baixas is located nestled on the Atlantic Coast in Galicia in the Northwestern corner of Spain. It is a relatively new appellation, the DO having only officially formed in 1988. However, the history of this region goes back much further to the 12th century when the Cisterian Monks are reported to have introduced the Albariño grape to the region. It is actually made up of five distinct sub-regions, each with its own soil type and microclimate.

Zárate Albariño 2025 is an elegant and vibrant white wine, where the sea breeze seems to waft into the glass with hints of lime and oyster shells. On the palate, it unfolds fresh and lively, balanced and harmonious, leaving a persistent saline touch reminiscent of its granitic soil origins. 

Viña Zorzal 2024 Garnacha Tinto Navarra DO $17 - This wine presents a brilliant, intense ruby color with deep, purple edges. On the nose, it offers clean, high-intensity aromas of ripe strawberries, red currants, raspberries, and red cherries, complemented by floral spices, black pepper, with subtle licorice and earth notes. The palate is dry and fresh, showcasing soft, food-friendly tannins and a medium body. 

Quinta do Estranxeiro 2022 Ribeira Sacra Tinto $28 - Ribeira Sacra is a stunning, deeply forested wine and nature region in inland Galicia, Spain, renowned for its dramatic river canyons and ancient monasteries. The 2022 O Estranxeiro fermented in concrete and oak vats. They gave up the stainless steel, where they feel Mencía gets more reductive, and this matured in oak and concrete for seven months. It has notes of wild berries, herbs and flowers, with a spicy twist. 

Eguren "Condado de Eguren" Tempranillo 2023 $13 - 100% Temprañillo from Castilla la Mancha just east of Madrid. Inky red with brambly fruit and subtle tannins.

Olivares 2023 Altos de la Hoya Jumilla $16 - The Olivares' family vineyard, Finca Hoya de Santa Ana, is a very special place. It is planted at 825 meters on very sandy soil with a high percentage of chalk. There are also a very high percentage of old vines, with the oldest planted in 1872. Because of the sandy soils of the region, the old, ungrafted, bush-pruned vines at the Bodega never succumbed to phyloxerra. It offers chewy tannins, with flavors of black cherry, bell pepper, and savory smoke. 

Bonus

Bodega Hermanos Mesa 2023 Locartas Blanco Tenerife $29 - The Canary Islands comprise seven main volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean that are celebrated for their dramatic landscapes, unique microclimates, and indigenous grape varieties. The archipelago is a premier destination for adventurous travel, stargazing, and discovering distinctive, high-quality volcanic wines. The blend comprises eight individual parcels throughout the valley, planted nearly entirely to Listán Blanco (with 2-3% Albillo Criollo) and generally situated at lower altitudes than the single-vineyard bottlings. Vinified in stainless steel and aged for six months in 90% steel and 10% French oak, “Locartas” leads with sumptuous aromas of apricots and fresh almonds, and delivers mouth-watering, grippy salinity on its taut, kinetic palate.

Alvaro Palacios Les Camins Priorat 2023 $30 - Racy red bramble berries with notes of hibiscus, pomegranates, cochineal and cherries. Some chewy tannins add more gravity to the otherwise medium-bodied palate. Juicy, firm and stony in the medium-long finish.

Almacita Blanc de Blanc Argentina NV $19 - This hand harvested sparkling wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from multiple vineyards within the Uco Valley. The nose is bursting with notes of peach, pineapple, mango, mandarin, and watermelon that lead into a bright and fresh palate laced with green apple and a touch of fresh baked bread. 

Ca de Medici Lambrusco di Sorbara, Italy $20 - Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC takes shape in Remigio 101, made using the mono-fermentation technique from 100% Lambrusco di Sorbara flower must.

The maceration of the grapes on the skins after pressing is very short and this gives this Lambrusco its typical bright pink color. It is characterized by delicate and floral aromas, like rose and violet, that timidly give way to a distant aroma of strawberry and pomegranate. 

Domaine Brazilier Brut Loire Valley, France $22 - The domain Brazilier is located at the heart of the Coteaux du Vendômois AOC, in Thoré-la-Rochette. The vines cover an area of 25 hectares and have been managed under sustainable values for many decades. Lemon, citrus and pear on the palate. Chalk, limestone and bright acid on the finish.

Pear and citrus rind develop on the palate over a structure of crisp acids and creamy fruit notes. An initial rush of exuberant bubbles is quickly followed by a soft effervescence. Slight astringency balances the richness from extended lees contact, and deftly carries the mineral finishing tones of blood orange and wild strawberries.

Bonus Wines

Schaller Cremant de Bourgogne Brut France $27 - A blend of Aligote, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Concentrated aromas of ripe pear and lemon, complemented by hints of honeycomb, toasted brioche, and delicate floral or mineral notes.

Gramona Cuvee Aliances Corpinnat, Spain $39 -  While this wine is made in the Cava region of Spain this wine is labeled as Corpinnat. Many sparkling wine producers in the region formed their own DO of Corpinnat that is based on higher standards than those of Cava. Organic farming, native grapes, long tirage and vintage wines. Brut La Cuvée Aliances is 63% Xarel·lo, 32% Macabeu and 5% Parellada from Corpinnat, Penedès. It was aged a minimum of 24 months on the lees (the bottle tasted had 34 months). Subtle tertiary aromas, pastry notes, lime, mandarin zest and grated apple open in the glass. The mousse is fine and lively, with an ethereal, dry palate that lingers with gentle autolytic complexity. 

Inspiration 1818 Champagne, France $49 - Due to the already high prices in Champagne, the tariffs really did a number on them. I think the least expensive Champagne I currently have is $62 so I was glad to hear the 1818 was back in stock. This is a 2nd label of Billecart-Salmon made for restaurant's by the glass programs. It is composed of approximately 37% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier, and benefits from 70% of reserve wines. Expect a beautiful, crystalline golden hue with fine bubbles. It offers a fragrant nose of brioche, almonds, butter, and pears. On the palate, it is well-balanced with a crisp backbone, offering white flesh fruits, citrus, and a hint of pepper on the finish.

Ca' del Baio 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo $22 - From a top Barbaresco cru producer, the 2024 Ca' del Baio Langhe Nebbiolo is a superb, high-toned expression of the noble grape. The nose is bright and expressive, with notes of sour cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, layered with savory hints of licorice and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and graceful, with fine, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that frames the pristine red fruit. The finish is long, clean, and savory.

Ippolito 2021 Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore "Liber Pater” $17 - Founded in 1845, Ippolito has been passed down through five generations of winemakers. Its guiding principles are the promoting native vines, safeguarding the territory, and respecting traditions, nature, and the biodiversity of the native land. This ruby red wine is 100% Gaglioppo, a delicious and ancient grape native to Calabria. "Liber Pater" Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore DOC, an ode to the Italic god of wine and vineyards, is intoxicating with complex aromas of wild berries, violets, and spices. Full-bodied with velvety tannins.

Fattoria Zerbina DOC Romagna Sangiovese “Ceregio” 2023 $21 - Fattoria Zerbina is named for the warm southerly wind that blows through the Marzeno Valley, where the land begins to rise towards the Apennine Mountains that divide Romagna from Tuscany. The estate was established by Vincenzo Geminiani, who purchased the farm in 1966, and immediately set out to estate-bottle his wines, rather than sell them in bulk. The wine has a glowing, super-saturated, dark ruby-red color. Aromas of Morello cherries, sun-dried plums, dried cranberries, and porcini mushrooms emerge when the wine is first poured, adding faded rose petals, black Mission figs, and wild mint.

Musto 2021 Aglianico del Vulture "Rosso Maschitano” $22 - There’s a reason Aglianico is often called “the Nebbiolo of the south.” At its best, it carries that same combination of structure, perfume, and age-worthiness—but with a darker, more sun-drenched core. An aromatic ensemble that develops lively and cheerful notes of blueberries, strawberries, and pomegranate combined with herbaceous and vegetal bursts. The exquisitely Mediterranean sip fills the mouth with crisp, soft, and slightly mineral tones in the finish.

Bonus Wines

Pojer e Sandri IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti Nosiola 2024 $28 - Pojer & Sandri has been at the forefront of winemaking innovation in Trentino-Alto Adige since 1975. The estate, led by Mario Pojer and Fiorentino Sandri, focuses on producing wines that honor both tradition and modern techniques. The wine is fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels, which allows the varietal's delicate characteristics to shine.

The palate is fresh and vibrant, with crisp acidity and a pronounced minerality, reflecting the rocky soils and cool mountain climate.

Umani Ronchi Cúmaro Conero Riserva 2021 $40 - Conero DOCG wine is produced in a unique geography consisting of rolling hills stretching all the way to the Adriatic sea. The terroir of this area is ideal for cultivating vineyards, providing flat and agreeable conditions for them to thrive. The unique climate and soil of Monte Conero have created a suitable living environment for certain non-indigenous grape varieties. It presents an intense bouquet opening with lovely ripe plum, blackcurrant and morello cherry notes, finishing spicy on black pepper, vanilla and tobacco.

Lungarotti Vigna Monticchio Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG 2018 $69 - The Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG wine must be subjected to an ageing period of at least three years, of which at least 6 months are in the bottle. 100% Sangiovese from the hills of Umbria. The Rubesco Riserva Vigna Monticchio 2018 is a long-lived wine as the maturation was perfectly balanced, the alcohol content lower and the acidity more pronounced than in the hot 2017 vintage. In the glass, it releases the intensity of a cherry in spirit, immediately chased by deeper notes of liquorice, cinchona and gunpowder. The aromatic boost is typical of the vintage, director of the complex narrative of Vigna Monticchio’s aromas. On the nose, hints of sour cherry, bitter cocoa, marzipan, date and black tea take over, held together by a delicate balsamicity that accompanies a more Mediterranean closure centred on blood orange and myrtle.
