Sipping the Volcano

This is a category of wine that has absolutely erupted over the past few years. What is a Volcanic wine? It is simply a wine that is made from grapes grown directly on volcanic soils. These nutrient-rich volcanic soils create unique wines with distinct flavors and a mineral-driven complexity, not to mention an earthy smokiness. The top volcanic wine regions include Italy’s Mount Vesuvius (Campagne), Mount Etna (Sicily), and Aglianico del Vulture (Basilicata); Santorini (Greece); and the Canary Islands (Spain). Join us on this Ash Wednesday. We’ll lava good time. 😊

International Riesling Week!

Another excuse to celebrate this amazing and versatile white wine! Riesling, with its unique ability to span the spectrum of sweetness levels and exhibit extraordinary aging potential, has left an indelible mark on the world of wine. It thrives in diverse terroirs, from the iconic Mosel in Germany, to the enchanting vineyards of Alsace in France, to the pristine Clare and Eden Valleys in Australia, to the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Each region lends its own distinct charm to Riesling, making it a grape that transcends borders and captures the hearts and palates of wine lovers everywhere. March 13th is the International Global Celebration, so we have a couple of days to get ready!

The Wines of Burgundy, France

Burgundy is one of the most complex and fascinating regions of France! The easy part is that they only grow TWO grapes (at least 99% of the wines). If you are drinking white wine, and it is from Burgundy, you can be sure it is made from 100% chardonnay. If you are drinking red wine, and it is from Burgundy, you can be sure it is made from 100% pinot noir. The wines from this region are named after their geographic appellation or village in which they are produced (like Macon-Villages, Chablis, Pouilly-Fuissé, Givry or Vougeot to name a few). Every village is said to have its own character or “terroir”, even two that are right across the street from each other! This makes Burgundy a land of many “microclimates”, and a land of many unique and wonderful wines. We’ll open some good stuff!
