New Reds this Week 🍷…

Salem Wine Company Pinot Noir 2023 - Biodynamically farmed Pinot Noir with a touch of Gamay from the Seven Springs Vineyard in Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Fresh and light-bodied with cranberry, cherry, and spice on the palate. Immensely drinkable with a polished finish. $25/bottle

L’ile Rouge ‘Confluence’ 2020 - A blend of organically farmed Merlot and the rare grape Castets, all the fruit in this wine comes from Bordeaux despite being bottled as a Vin de France. Rich, smooth, and layered with dark fruits, this has a distinct dusty element that adds a ton of interest. $37/bottle

Monte Dall’Ora Valpolicella Classico ‘Saseti’ 2023 - Produced from a certified Biodynamic estate vineyard with vines ranging from 25-65 years old, this is named Saseti (little stones) for the pebbles that are dispersed throughout the vineyard’s soil. On the label are the five handprints the Venturini family and the words “oltre al cuore” — “besides heart, only these hands,” a reference to the purity of the wine in the bottle. A lighter-bodied wine with bright, red-fruit notes and a beautiful liveliness on the finish. $24/bottle

Meet your new favorite all-purpose vodka. 🦪

Made in New York, Culch is a corn-based vodka that’s proofed down with spring water from the Catskills. Not only is it delicious, a portion of every purchase is donated to the project — an organization focused restoring NYC’s once-thriving oyster population which plays a critical role in the local ecosystem as well as helps filter and clean the local waterways. Plus, it’s a steal at just $21 for a 1L bottle.

(A culch is a mass of broken stones, shells, and gravel that forms the basis of the oyster bed that the oyster spawn attach to)
