Welcome to Cadus Vinum
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.”
Francis Blanchet Pouilly Fumé Vielle Vignes 2023
A perfect blend as we approach the last day of summer. It is light-bodied yet well-concentrated, offering smooth, balanced flavors of ripe citrus fruits, complemented by a mineral and slightly chalky texture. The finish is long and lingering, making it ready to enjoy now.
Meinklang Mulatschak Weiss 2023
Biodynamically farmed, this blend includes Welschriesling, Pinot Gris, and Traminer grapes. Moderate skin contact gives the wine a slightly cloudy appearance, yet it remains bright and highly refreshing.
Envinate Benje Blanco 2022
The 2022 Benje is unfiltered and slightly cloudy, with green lemon, farmyard, and straw scents. On the palate, it’s dry, taut, and acidic, with excellent persistence and tension.
Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rose 2023
Bright salmon pink in color. Full, fragrant & fragrant nose of ripe fresh fruit aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries & citrus notes with overtones of rose floral notes, some spice notes & minerals.
Bodegas Cota 45 Ube Miraflores 2022
Made in a sherry-like style, this wine ages under flor but is not fortified, allowing a focus on fruit character. The result is a fresh, easy-to-drink wine.
Francis Blanchet Pouilly Fume Vieilles Vignes 2023
A special selection of older vines, some 80 years or more, from the estate’s flint-rich soils. Light golden yellow in color, with a full, forward, and attractive nose of ripe fruit. Simple, clean, light, and refreshing, with an exceptionally pure finish.

My wife’s 69th birthday
Robert Flower recommended this wine for my wife’s 69th birthday and it couldn’t have been better. It paired brilliantly with the seared duck confit. I intend to buy a case this weekend. This man has an incredible palate and knows his wines.
Robert R. Putnam
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.

Castello Monaci, Verdeca "Petraluce" Salento IGT 2022 (Puglia)
I was looking for a quencher like a Falanghina or Fiano di Avellino but was happy to find a wine made from the Verdeca variety from Puglia. Petraluce Verdeca offers an intense bouquet of tropical fruit and flowers, with a fresh and persistent flavor. It boasts good concentration and richness, making it an ideal choice for warm-weather enjoyment.

Bodegas Maranones Picarana Albillo 2020
Madrid, Vinos de Madrid D.O.
100% abillo
Picarana 2020 is the purest expression of Albillo Real, representing the unique environment of the Marañones estate.
Visually, the wine is a clean and clear light yellow. This Albillo is aged for 10 months in French oak, lending a nice woody nose with fresh, tart citrus fruits and a palate of stone, lime, and a silky clean finish. Very elegant.
