Cheers to a day of pampering and free wine 🍷✨ join us for our Saturday wine tasting from 12-3

05/30/2025

We want to see you there!

The wines we’ll be pouring:

Caparsa Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
No wood tannins, just pure, bright, balanced fruit. Steak? Poultry? Pasta? There are any number of directions you can take this wine, but it belongs at the dinner table (though lunch works too)

Caparsa “Caparsino” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2017
After residency in cement tanks, this heads into oak barrels for 15 months, earning Riserva status. There’s no shortage of claimants to the throne of Chianti Classico, but for value and pure deliciousness, and character, “Caparsino” rules.

Caparsa “Doccio a Matteo” Chianti Classico Riseva DOCG 2015
We’re excited to see what we can conjure from this 2015 that may very well be starting to hit its stride a decade in. A warm vintage tempered fortuitously by storms, this wine delivers dense aromatics, gentle spice, black fruit, and ample tannins for considerable longevity.

We had such a blast with Libero and Rosella Rillo this week that we’d do an encore this Saturday, pouring four of their wines that demonstrate the ease and ageability this estate (and its rather Southern-sounding grape) has to offer.

Fontanavecchia ‘BjondoRe’ Falanghina del Sannio 2024
On the lighter side of wines made from this variety, BjondoRe is exceedingly crisp and bright, and just the thing for calamari salads and sweltering Carolina summers (next week’s cool snap not included).

Fontanavecchia ‘TabaRosa’ Aglianico del Taburno Rosato 2024
Strawberries, yes, but a little volcanic smoke in there too.

Fontanavecchia ‘TabaRosso’ Aglianico del Taburno 2019
Aglianico aged one year in oak casks to lend structure to this grand red grape of southern Italy. Rose-like notes with hints of balsamic and leather combine to make a strikingly unique aromatic profile.

Fontanavecchia ‘Cataratte’’ Aglianico del Taburno Riserva 2018
Aged for 18 months in oak casks, if this wine has a lifespan, I’ve not figured it out. We’ll be decanting this to fast forward a bit through the tannic intensity of its youth and unlock its literally mouthwatering potential.

Regular denizens of the shop will have likely noticed the Campanian kick we’ve been on of late, and it’s been one of the highlights of the spring to see folks embracing these wines. So what better time to welcome one of the pivotal figures driving the higher profile and quality of this region, Fontana Vecchia’s Libero Rillo. Libero’s family have been standard bearers for viticulture in Campania for over 160 years, so it’s a treat to host him for an afternoon and learn about the Rillo family’s land, craft, and tradition, while enjoying their Falanghina, Aglianico, and Rosato Aglianico. See you then!

Come get fresh with us tomorrow🍋 we’ve got a lovely lineup that you can learn more about below!

Visintini Pinot Grigio 2023
A staple of local restaurant lists and local refrigerators, this wine needs no introduction. As drinkable as it is on release, it really starts to hit its stride after a few years in bottle. With easy peachy notes, gentle texture and faint copper color that will make holiday meals or aperitivo hour on the porch endlessly enjoyable.

Domaine de la Verpaille Macon-Villages Vielles Vignes 2023
Limestone soil, warmer southern Burgundy temperatures, and leisurely fermentation on the lees in stainless steel gives this Chardonnay impressive intensity, while its citrus and mineral character keeps it refreshing.

Chateau Pierre-Bise Cremant de Loire 2023
Is this the finest sparkling wine under $30? This bubbly Chenin Blanc is made without any additional sugar to feed the secondary fermentation, making the surprising ripeness of this extra brut that much more delectable.

Domaine Robert Perroud Cote de Brouilly “Foudre # 5” Beaujolais 2023
Gamay hogs the spotlight around Thanksgiving, and with good reason, but its fruit-driven friendliness and tendency to thrive with a light chill make it drinkable year-round.

Hey, new team member Oona here! I got the opportunity to try this Extra Brut sparkler last week— deliciously ye**ty and smoky, would pair great with cheese 🧀🥂 and of course organic and biodynamically produced 🌿💚
