A Sense of Place, Natural Wine, Curated Wine Events

“Early on, I was fortunate to learn that the best wines aren’t necessarily the most expensive, rarest, or well-known brand. To me, the finest wine is the one that you share with the people you truly cherish, regardless of its cost. This belief fuels my passion for wine, and I make it a point to express it every time I uncork a bottle.”
Joan D'Anguera Montsant Altaroses 2021

Ciro Picariello Irpinia Fiano 2021

Picariello’s Irpinia Fiano is a declassified version* of Fiano di Avellino, made from estate-grown fruit. Some of my favorite Italian white wines come from Campania. They may not be overly complex, but they’re beautifully balanced with just the right touch of minerality.

From stunning hillside vineyards overlooking the Mediterranean comes a rich, flavorful Bandol rosé, offering fragrant aromas of flowers and Provençal herbs. At first one sees the rich watermelon color, with peach, orange peel, raspberry, and floral notes. We enjoyed this during a warm seaside holiday. Robust, rich, and complex with an ability to age gracefully. Top notch wine from Provence.

R. López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Viña Gravonia 2010
Rioja Alta
100% Viura

Not surprisingly, with 4 years of barrel aging followed by 6 years in bottle prior to release this was stunning. Nice oak, deep lemon, nuts, honey, wax, cream, saltiness. The palate has an oily mouthfilling texture without a ton of weight, and refreshing acidity and refreshing acidity with a long finish. Really complex and beautiful oxidative style wine. A very special wine.

Pale and light gold in color, this wine has a bold, fragrant nose with ripe fruit aromas of lemon, lime and apple. There’s a touch of minerality—stony, flinty, and chalky, with a hint of herbs and grass. It is light-bodied, smooth, well-balanced flavors of lemon, lime, apple, along with earthy minerals and herbs. The finish lingers nicely. It drinks beautifully now but could definitely evolve with a little more aging.

A truly exceptional Falanghina from a small, family-run estate, this wine has a striking golden hue and an beautiful bouquet of apricots, ginger, and mint. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and very dry, offering notes of honey and volcanic minerality. This remarkable natural wine is produced through biodynamic practices, with native yeast fermentation, unfined, and without added sulfur. Well crafted.

Santa Ynez Valley, CA
85% Marsanne, 15% Roussanne

Marsanne and Roussanne are native to the Rhone region in France. They are traditionally used to make Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph.

The name “qupé” was chosen to honor the Chumash, the indigenous people of the Golden State’s Central Coast and Channel Islands.In Chumash, “qupé” refers to the poppy, a flowering plant traditionally used for food and medicine. In 1903 the California poppy was officially designated the state flower, and every spring masses of the bright orange blossoms still blanket local hills and back country.

This 15 year old wine from Qupe, Santa Ynez Valley CA has held up well, rich gold in color like a Chardonnay. Due to its age it has complex nose a little nuttiness, jasmine and peach. Citrus on the palate, with a flintiness. A generous mouthfeel with good acidity to carry it through. The palate is rich and complex, and lively with a lengthy zesty finish.
