TONIGHT 6-8! Sancerriously, Folks…
Sancerre Blanc, Rouge & Bubbly from Paul Prieur Domaine Paul Prieur - Sancerre

In the last few decades Sancerre has become almost synonymous with crisp white w**e from France. So much so that there are even shortages in challenging vintages. And when people say “Sancerre” they are invariably talking about Sancerre Blanc; it’s the single best known w**e from the Loire Valley, one of the best known from all of France.

There’s also Sancerre Rouge and Sancerre Rosé, both made from Pinot Noir. These w**es share the high acid and fresh characteristics of the Blanc, but the fruit is more along the lines of cherries and red currants, you might also notice orchard fruit, flowers, fresh herbs and of course, rocks. If you like Pinot Noir from any other region, these w**es are well worth exploring and the prices are good. And for some bonus fun, we’ve got a sparkling w**e from Sancerre for you tonight as well!

All of tonight’s w**es are from Paul Prieur. The domaine is in Verdigny, Sancerre in the Loire Valley. The Prieur family has been producing w**e for 11 generations, and today is led by Luc Prieur. They have 14 hectares dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc, and 5 to Pinot Noir. Everything is organic and/or biodynamic. Cover crops, horse-plowing, hand-picking, natural pest control methods and solar panels – all that good stuff. The w**es are nicely balanced, elegant, and quite representative of their place. Join us for a Sancerrily beautiful evening…

Tip! We also have some back-vintages of Prieur Sancerre Blanc for sale. Follow the link in stories or come by tonight.

Urgent Care! We always keep at least one half-bottle of Ch*****ne in the fridge in case of emergencies. (Or particularly languorous mornings.) Tarlant Zero is a perfect choice: bone-dry, savory and very refreshing.

TONIGHT 6-8! CRUSE: CALIFORNIA SPARKLING 🍾

Michael Cruse is the tip of the spear for explorations of sparking w**e in California. Over the last two decades he’s made quite a large array of different w**es and different editions of w**es. Not all have been sparkling – we have a beautiful Chardonnay from him. But sparkling is his obsession, and what he’s known for. Before he began Cruse W**e Company to explore even more territory, he founded the very culty Ultramarine – often referred to as California’s first real Ch*****ne level sparkling. Ultramarine bottles are somewhat hard to find, but we do have a nice supply arriving here in the coming weeks.

Cruse W**e Company is more on the edge, more about constant exploration – w**es of curiosity and a celebration of California terroir. Rather than transplanting Ch*****ne into California, the w**es ask how Ch*****ne would be different if it were someplace that actually saw the sun — Perhaps most apparent is the almost languid phenolic ripeness – the w**es aren’t green, they aren’t a knife. Instead they are redolent with herbs and smooth and round like a river stone, the sort of rock that if you kept in your cheek on a long walk would refresh your thirst. Don’t miss tonight – our latest foray in Ch*****ne Method outside France!

One of the best light reds you’ve never heard of. Rossese grows in the craggy mountains of Liguria, hundreds of meters above the beautiful beaches along the Mediterranean coast. The w**e is intense but almost featherweight. Delicate cherry and floral notes mix with a good bit of the local garrigue. Pair with almost anything.

Pitch perfect Chablis. Patrick Piuze, Canadian by birth, worked for Leflaive, and for Jean-Marc Brocard before beginning his wide-ranging and prolific project in Chablis. Fye is one our faves and comes from a small parcel opposite Blanchots and near Montee de Tonnerre. White floral, citrus and a hint of peach delivered by the high acid you hope for from this region. Organic & unoaked. Zing!

TASTING TONIGHT 6-8: The Indescribable Saar W**es of Florian Lauer Peter Lauer▪️VDP 🦅

Florian Lauer is a remarkably singular figure in the landscape of German w**e. He’s a remarkably singular figure in person as well. You can’t actually be a w**emaker as good as he is any other way.

Florian Lauer makes dry tasting Riesling in the village of Ayl from particularly good slate vineyards on and around the famous Ayler Kupp mountain/vineyard. He took charge of his family’s historic estate in 2005 and quickly transformed it into one of the greatest addresses for w**e in all of Germany. He’s particularly good at turning in finely-tuned–engine style Rieslings, broad and weightless, dry or dry-tasting, always high acid, and very expressive, often with a signature spice note.

Lauer’s also pretty fun. He was once the drummer in a black metal band. And, once in an interview, called his w**es “very drinky.” We couldn’t agree more. And if you visit the area, we do recommend staying at his W**e Hotel. WEINhotel Ayler Kupp

Join us tonight to taste through several Lauer w**es and learn literally everything there is to know about him.

One rosé to rule them all,
A great rosé for dining,
One rosé to have and hold,
Already now is shining.

TONIGHT 6-8: Lisbon We Love You! 🇵🇹💛
Lisbon is a glorious place to visit in the summertime, or anytime really. The largest city in Portugal, as well its capital, it’s on the west coast of the peninsula, where the Tagus River channels into the Atlantic. It’s also the center of its own w**e region, and as you might expect in a place with warm, maritime summers, there are lots of cool, fresh bottles to be discovered.

All three of tonight’s w**es have one important thing in common; they’re field blends. Meaning there are several or many different varieties of grapes growing together in the vineyard. And then most likely, they are harvested together, and then pressed together. This is a long tradition in Portugal, and was actually the norm around the world for most of our history. Today, with tastes leaning lighter, and the climate growing more difficult, old vine field blends can more easily produce the sort of fresh, balanced w**es many of us are looking for. Portugal, more than anywhere, has the goods. As Viuva Gomes likes to say…

The future is made with the past.

So, field blend Curimenta from old-vine newcomer Chinado, field blend Palhete from our old friends at Espera, & field blend Tinto from the great Viuva Gomes. A perfect set of w**es for mid-August gatherings!

TONIGHT 6-8: The w**es of Claudio Maritotto!

Timorasso is a rare, difficult to grow, thick-skinned white grape indigenous to Piemonte that was rescued from extinction just a few decades ago. A number of exceptional w**emakers have devoted a lot of time and energy to the literal revitalization of this grape.

Claudio Mariotto is our focus tonight. The w**ery was founded in the 1920’s by Claudio’s great-grandfather, and his grandfather and father have also worked these fields. It is in Vho, on the first hills behind Tortona, on the south-eastern tip of Piemonte. Today Claudio works with his partner Rosanna, his brother Marco and his mother, Piera. He sleeps in the room he was born in, in the family’s old country house. He listens to Black Sabbath and smokes ci**rs all day. He’s a character, and he’s somewhat obsessed with idea of the American “old west.” He rides motocross bikes around the vineyards of the region with his good friend, and fellow Timorasso grower Walter Massa. The Mariotto clan has a fair amount of land and they also grow other varieties, but Timorasso is the star and makes up most of the production. Farming is all organic. All the w**es are 100% Derthona Timorasso.

Tonight’s w**es are a tight cluster: same grape, same producer, same sub-region, very similar vinification…. Given all that, the differences are striking. And isn’t that what w**e is all about? Join us tonight for a journey into a chapter of Piemonte’s history that was almost lost. Claudio Mariotto

TONIGHT 6-8: Wet Hot Hungarian Summer! 🇭🇺
Palinkerie Founder Athena Bochanis Behind the Bar!
We love a hyper-focused importer. Athena finished law school in 2012 and immediately turned around 180 degrees and became an importer of Hungarian w**es, founding her company the next year. Since then she’s been a leading light for the country’s w**es in the in the US, bringing a diverse array of w**emakers to a greater audience than in the past. Her work has made a major difference for Hungarian w**e in the US. And that’s a great thing. The w**es are excellent, and offer the kind of complexity and value you can only find together in regions with a long history of making truly great w**e.

“Our collection represents my favorite finds from Hungary’s burgeoning w**e scene today: hand-crafted, small-batch, natural and organic w**es from distinctive grapes. W**es that reflect Hungary’s diverse microclimates and its long history of w**emaking. W**es imbued with the adventures, successes and struggles of centuries past, yet they move forward, hopeful, towards the future ahead.” Athena Bochanis

Tonight she pours some of the most summer-friendly w**es in her book; a Pet Nat WASSMANN biodynamic w**ery , a Grüner Villa Tolnay W**ery & a Pinot Bukolyi Marcell Organic W**es
