Miles Garrett Sauvignon Blanc (shown below!)

Miles Garrett Wines is a charming, family-operated winery that takes great pride in cultivating their own grapes and olives. Their focus is on crafting wines that truly embody the essence of Humboldt County and the distinctive microclimate found within the Willow Creek AVA (American Viticultural Area). At their vineyard, they adhere to the principles of dry farming, relying solely on the natural rainfall to nurture our CCOF certified organic grapes. In the winter months, they cultivate cover crops, fostering a healthy ecosystem. To further enrich their vineyard, they welcome their farm animals at specific times to graze, fostering a symbiotic relationship with the land. 

This Sauvignon Blanc is mineral-driven, vibrant and aromatic. Notes of lemon fruit, tropical fruits, grass, and herbs! Just another WIN for winemaker Miles Garrett - we haven't tasted a wine of his that we don't love!

Kolfok "All Universe Together" Red Wine (shown below!)

The word "Kolfok" finds its origins in a regional dialect, representing a person who challenges conventional thinking and holds a critical stance. At the helm of winemaking for Kolfok is Stefan Wellanschitz, who was born into a winemaking family in Neckenmarkt, an estate with a rich history dating back to the early 19th century when the region was still Hungarian rather than Austrian.

His wines are so precise, acid-driven and balanced. This is a new release made from a field blend of Saint Laurent, Pinot Noir, Blaufrankish, Furmint and Rotburger. We knew upon first sip that this wine was special enough to be a GOLD wine club pick! We are so excited to share it with you. Serve chilled and enjoy! xoxo

  • Producer: Kolfok
  • Region: Burgenland, Austria
  • Varieties: Big field blend! Saint Laurent, Pinot Noir, Blaufrankish, Furmint, Rotburger
  • Alcohol: 12%

Frederic Cossard "Version Sud" Grenache (shown below!)

 

Frederic Cossard is a well-respected winemaker based in Burgundy, France. He is known for his natural and biodynamic winemaking practices, which have gained him recognition among wine enthusiasts seeking authentic and terroir-driven wines! Cossard began his winemaking journey in the late 1990s when he took over his family's vineyards in Burgundy. With a deep respect for nature and a desire to express the true essence of the terroir in his wines, he transitioned to organic and biodynamic farming methods. These practices involve working in harmony with the natural environment, promoting biodiversity, and avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals. This is one of the most delicious Grenaches we've ever tasted! You simply have to taste it to believe it. We will be hoarding cases at home! Serve slightly cooler than room temperature but no need to serve ice cold! Enjoy! xoxo
