One of my favorite week’s of the year -
I am popping the corks on some effervescent, elegant, and beautifully crafted bubbles this week. Welcome to our Sparkling Wine Edition, a guided journey through three distinct European regions where bubbles have history.
In a world where sparkling wine is often saved for a single toast, these selections prove that bubbles deserve a seat at the table every day. We’re exploring the diversity of method and terroir: from the ancient hills of Limoux to the glacial soils of Valdobbiadene and the long-aged complexity of Penedès.
On the tasting table:
🍾 The French Ancestor: Famille Antech Cuvée Françoise
100% Mauzac from Limoux, this selection arrives from the true birthplace of sparkling wine. With 30 months of lees aging, it is a refined, organic dream that pairs perfectly with French Salt Cod.
🥂 The Italian Elegance: Bortolomiol ‘Prior’ Prosecco
Next, we experience a 100% Glera grown on sandstone and glacial moraine. This is a masterclass in the Charmat or Martinotti method - vibrant, sustainable, and ready for grilled vegetables with a spicy kick.
✨ Spanish Masterpiece: Vins el Cep ‘Gelida’ Gran Reserva Cava
An organic blend aged for an incredible 40–50 months on the lees. It’s rich, traditional, and (trust us) the ultimate companion for a plate of crispy Fried Chicken.
Whether you’re a devotee or just slightly curious, this feature is your map to the old world’s sparkling saavy🗺️🥂
Stop by the shop, grab a glass, and find out for yourself. The door is open.

Step into the filtered light of our 111 year old windows! It is time to settle the great debate of the week.

I must say, your olfactory faculties are truly impressive. Several guests got two out of the three aromas correct. Others may have indulged their imaginative relationship with your spice racks, but there is always next week.

For now, the mystery must be solved.

1. Mushroom: The telltale sign of an earthy wine, aromas of mushroom are common in Burgundy, Piedmont, and the tantalizing dessert wines that succumb to the noble rot.

2. Lime: Here in Florida, there is no shortage of appropriate moments for a limey wine. Whether on the beach or picnicking in the shade, Gruner Veltliner, Albariño, and Vinho Verde offer tart, refreshing options to pair with fun and bathing suits.

3. Almond: Sometimes we all get a little bit nutty. For a sophisticated and intriguing experience, turn to Rhône Valley and Italian white wines.

Cheers to you and cheers to me, a thousand flavors await us!

Step inside, it is a cool and relaxing retreat from the day and the heat🌿✨

I am pulling the corks on some wild, unrefined, and beautifully honest wines this week. Welcome to our Natural Wine Edition, a guided journey through bottles that have nothing added, and nothing taken away.
In a world where over 70 additives can hide behind a standard wine label, these selections are a breath of fresh, vineyard air. We’re exploring wine as nature intended: vibrant, eccentric, and full of life.

On the tasting table:

🥂 An Unfiltered German White: 100% Muscat from Benziger. Think aromatic blossoms and 20-year-old vines.

🍷 The Oregonian Rebel: A Limited Addition co-fermented blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It’s a conversation between 45-year-old ungrafted vines and neutral oak.

✨The Sicilian Soul: AnnaMaria Sala’s Nero d’Avola. Sun-drenched limestone and clay in a glass, begging for a bowl of Pasta Puttanesca.

Whether you’re a devotee of the raw sensation of natural wine or just beginning to wonder what terroir truly tastes like when it isn't polished by a lab, this feature is your map. 🗺️🍷

Stop by the shop, grab a glass, and let’s get a little curious. The door is open.
