Tokaj, Hungary - 12.4% Stéphanie is one of a handful in Tokaj that does practically everything herself and in house. Primary fermentation in barrel, bottling for secondary in her cellar (2 years on the lees), and hand racked and riddled. The only thing done outside the winery was taking the bottles to be disgorged in the village of Bodrogkeresztúr where they have the machinery. A blend of 88% Hárslevelű and 12% Furmint, there’s tons of stone fruit, mint, and an immediate Tokaj nose of honey and salt. Brut at 9.2 g/l and around 4 bars of pressure, the bubbles aren’t explosive but persistent and elegant.

Catalunya, Spain - 11% Pere Mata’s special release of this 100% Trepat Rosé Cava is a pure delight. Fraises des bois, cranberry, hibiscus and spicy shiso notes complement the vibrancy and punchy finish of this limited release Cava.

50% ratio Brachetto and Muscat mix can vary year by year, depending on grapes characteristics. Vineyards in Piedmont: Hills of Agliano d'Asti and Nizza Monferrato.

Fuoripista is a different kind of wine that takes an alternative route and has a different approach towards nature. This wine is the result of a collaboration between Foradori and Marco Devigili, biodynamic winemaker from Campo Rotaliano, and aims to express the true essence of this variety, widespread in the Trentino region. The wine spends more than 8 months on the skins inside Tinajas (amphorae) allowing the delicate character of Pinot Grigio to reveal.

Piemonte, Italy Medium to medium-light bodied red wine. Medium acidity. Very aromatic, leaning toward peppery with dried rose notes. Perfumed and alluring, this will please pinot drinkers who tend toward the light and elegant side of the spectrum.

These three wines absolutely represent what we love to have in our cellar and in the restaurant: clean fresh whites. Fun, enticing and dare we say elegant rosés. And lastly, reds that satisfy, but never overwhelm and tire your palate. Think you can get on board with that?

We’ve chosen three wines that embody the feeling at the center of our sparkling wine program. They are playful, fun and joyful. Most importantly, they are easy to enjoy and bring us great pleasure. Did we mention that one these bottles will most definitely be Champagne?
