Bocelli Prosecco (Italy)

Long before Andrea Bocelli was famous for music his family had been known for making wine. For over 130 years they have made classic red wines in Tuscany. Wanting to produce a sparkling wine, they partnered with friends in the Veneto to get the very best grapes for a prosecco. A delightful wine that is a staple of everyday Italian celebration. This sparkling wine has subtle flower and fruit aromas that are light and playful. Unlike many Champagnes, it is not harsh. It tickles the throat with peachy softness and gentle bubbles, flecked with minerality that offers a fresh finish.

This Pet-Nat carries many of the same properties we love in sour beer (freshness, acidity, texture) in a style that breaks down many of wine's high brow doldrums. Easy with food, just as friendly without, a great introduction to the boundless ends of wine.

Riofavara “Mizzica” Moscato di Noto (Italy)

Certainly a unique creation, and perhaps a first in the wine world, Massimo Padova of Riofavara has taken his indengous Moscato grapes in southeastern Sicily and used them to craft a bone dry white in an area known for its sweet wines. Noto’s terroir consists of an arid plateau of white limestone, so imagine what dry Muscat grown in these conditions tastes like: an herbal infusion with exotic fruit and a dry, chalky finish.

Domaine de la Chanteleuserie Bourgueil Cabernet Franc (France)

About thirty miles downriver of Vouvray lies the town of Bourgueil, where Cabernet Franc reigns. A seventh generation estate blessed with some of the appellation’s finest parcels; the sandy soils yield softer wines with very supple tannins—perfect for drinking young. It saw fermentation and aging in stainless steel to preserve maximum aromas of fresh fruit, and the fruits are not lacking: wild berries jump out of the glass invitingly, while a peppery note adds an earthy twist. The gentle finish makes it oh-so gulpable.
