Thanks to our friends at Vintage W**e Distributor for the portfolio show. So many phenomenal w**es under one roof, especially Vega Sicilia.

We look forward to sharing some of these new w**es with you soon.

We attended a trade tasting with distributor and importer w**eCRAFT which brings us only top shelf producers and w**es. We brought in quite an array of French w**es this week from Loire, Burgundy, Basque Country (rose!), and Rhone.

My favorite Sancerre producer is Gerard Boulay and we now have one of their single vineyard w**es from La Grande Cote ($90) in Chavignol. I tasted it before knowing who produced it and I was blown away. I was then elated to find out that it's Boulay.

Don't sleep on the Cornas either, a bargain syrah for the appellation at $57.

Weekly tasting time! Today through Sunday, open to close, $15.

It's the first weekend of the month so 20% of the tasting fee will go to The Line, a part of Service Relief Effort for Hospitality Workers. The Line is "a working restaurant and training ground from Service! Relief for Hospitality Workers. Built for people who want a career in hospitality." The Line is opening next week if you want to check it out yourself and support their mission.

The tasting has a dry riesling from Charles Smith and HOUSE OF SMITH in Washington State, a follow-up to his previous dry riesling offering, Kung Fu Girl. AccordiniStefano from Veneto is a refreshing blend of sauvignon blanc and garganega (the latter used for Soave). Spanish garnacha from Bodegas Borsao brings fruit and spice. A sturdier, tannic tannat from Bodega Garzón in Uruguay for beef and firepits.

Come taste, hang out, and shop!

If you want to attend our Spain & Portugal Tour with Olé & Obrigado next week, get your spots now because it's going to sell out and we won't be adding any more capacity.

Aren't these magnums of Leirana Albariño from BODEGA FORJAS DEL SALNÉS just beautiful? You'll get to taste the w**e from one of the best, Rodrigo Mendez.

We'll soon be sharing more w**es from Antonio Maçanita, whether you're in our Cub Club or coming to our big Spanish and Portuguese event with Olé & Obrigado on 10/7 (get your spot on our website!). He makes some fascinating w**es across the country, focusing on indigenous varietals, natural ferments, and just not fussing with the w**e that goes into the bottle. We've been fortunate to meet and taste with him twice to learn more about his w**es.

A few years ago, I tasted this w**e with my friend Nikki from Olé & Obrigado and I just loved it for the depth and flavor when I generally don't care much for orange w**es. I ordered a case for the shop. Fast forward that span of time and we still have bottles of the 2020 vintage of Laranja Mecanica (mechanical/clockwork orange). I don't know why but I kept it with the Portuguese w**es versus with other orange w**es.

This w**e gets a gentle pressing before that juice sits on the skins for a week and then a second pressing before fermentation in stainless steel. I opened a bottle to make sure this w**e was drinking well, and oh dear, it's a thoughtful sipper. Let it warm up a bit if you pull it from the fridge and rewards keep coming. Pair up with some funky cheese and nuts or just open after dinner for an "unsweet dessert."

We have this on the shelf with the Portuguese w**es for $30 if you want to experience it yourself.

Here's our lineup for the weekend tasting that we're pouring today through Sunday. We're open later than 9 to 5...what a way to make a living!

Weingut und Gästehaus Berger gruner is a shop favorite and you get extra w**e in a 1L format. We can rarely get it but we have Frog's Leap W**ery rosé and it's only $20! A very approachable red from Domaine Skouras made of agiorgitiko. A fun red blend from LangeTwins W**ery & Vineyards in Lodi.

Come for the tasting, stay for a glass of ambition, and shop!

It's pretty last minute but we're hosting Gundlach Bundschu W**ery tomorrow night! We're pouring from 6pm to 8pm (make sure you can finish in time) and it's five w**es for only $20. We'll have Hernan Valverde on hand to share more about this old and historic family-owned w**ery in Sonoma.

We've updated our website with our currently scheduled tasting events in case you didn't get our email today.

When you make some "Monday gravy" and your friend brings the Comelli Pignolo. This w**e has gathered quite the following and rightfully so.

Guess what? Nicola Comelli will be back at Aardvark in December. Stay tuned!

Hey we have an awesome event coming up with Olé & Obrigado with 20 w**es for you to taste!

We visited Spain earlier this year and then returned just to go to NYC for a portfolio show with many of their producers. We had the opportunity to taste and request some w**es not normally available in Ohio. Now that they've arrived, we want to share them with you. You'll be the first to taste and purchase what you like.

Head to our website to get your spot for our tasting tour of Spain and Portugal on Oct. 7. The tasting is $40 and you'll get to taste through some special w**es. We'll have representatives and friends from Ole & Obrigado and W**e Trends Inc. | Fine W**e Distributor to share more about these families and their w**es.

This is a ticketed event so space will be limited. Hope you can join us!
