Tending the 3.9 hectare farm Hubert planted with his father some 40 + years ago, the duo (alongside their horse Skippy) work organically and biodynamically, avoiding any and all additions in the winemaking process.

- Issamu & Andrew " Wonderwerk - Free Your Mind Rose"$60.00
Issamu & Andrew are best buds who grew up together and through a shared love of natural wine and disco, began this fun little project in 2016! They source grapes from organic, biodynamic, & sustainable farms around California, working out of shared workspace in Gilroy, & it is so clear that these guys are just having fun and trying to make their wines fun and easy and not scary, which we can dig! This is a new one - a rose sparkler made from 86% Riesling and 14% Carignan, both farmed organically. The Carignan underwent carbonic maceration for 2 weeks, while the Riesling was de-stemmed and fermented on skins for 9 days with twice daily pump-overs, with the carignan blended in on the 8th and 9th days. All the free run juice was separated to make this beautiful rose!

its the ever so lovely Laetitia & Rodolphe of Fond Cypres!

Here is a gorgeous show of Grenache Blanc - all hand harvested & direct pressed fruit, fermented spontaneously in stainless steel, and bottled with no additions.

- Aaron & Cara "Frenchtown Farms - Poisson Pilote"$60.00
Another fun creature from our friends at Frenchtown Farms, Aaron & Cara Mockrish! Inspired by the wines & ethos of Clos Saron, Aaron & Cara have been making little oddities in North Yuba California since 2015, working the land of the previously cult-owned Renaissance Vineyard, and sourcing from trusted friends as well. Taking direction from Gideon of Clos Saron, Frenchtown’s wines are made with utmost respect for the land and product, devoting to natural farming and winemaking. Poisson Pilote is a fun one, a super fresh and saline show of a grape we rarely see ‘round these parts, Bianchetta Trevigiana! Grown primarily in Veneto, Northern Italy, where it is used almost exclusively as a blending grape in Prosecco & for Vermouth production, Aaron & Cara show it off here as a mono-varietal wine, direct pressing the fruit and spontaneously fermenting in stainless steel before aging 9 months in neutral oak!

- Louisiane & Cesar "Barbichette - Chette Baker"$60.00
Super excited to share with you this new winery from two little cuties in the Finger Lakes, Louisiane & her partner Cesar of Barbichette Wines! Started in the corner of Cesar’s Brooklyn coffee roastery, Cafe Integral, Barbichette began in 2019 with a few friends pitching together to make a few cases of a New York Riesling. Putting out their first vintage in 2021, Cesar & Louisiane have begun sourcing from a number of biodynamic farms in the Finger Lakes, setting their sights on creating wines that “showcase the full expression of New York’s local fruit.” ‘Chette Baker is 100% Gewurztraminer from Seneca Lake, foot crushed as whole clusters and left on the skins for 10 days, before being pressed to naturally ferment & age in barrels. No additions whatsoever, the duo says, “This macerated Gewürztraminer tastes of starfruit, rose petals, grapefruit and lychee, with a sweet caramel finish and a slight smell of pepper spice.” Yum!

- Anna Halkia "Halkia - Reddish"$60.00
from the cute little backyard winery of anna halkia in nemea, greece, comes this gorgeous light and structured expression of indigenous grape Agiorgitiko! Originally from nemea, anna moved back home to start her family, at first selling her grapes to larger companies, but in the early 2000s decided to start making her own wine. because she had no investors or financial support in this decision, she turned to natural wine making by necessity, not being able to afford the costs of enzymes and yeasts and commercial winemaking tools. focusing instead on crafting small batches from nemea's indigenous grapes, anna's wines are super expressive little standouts from the region, each a little treat. reddish is agiorgitiko, the most widely planted red grape in greece, slowly pressed over 2 hours, and wild fermented in stainless steel for 12 days, aging another ~4 months in steel. rich forest fruits and a beautiful structure!
