SOLD OUT

We will be touching on three important Italian sparkling wines. We will begin with Prosecco Superiore DOCG, moving to Franciacorta, considered to be Italy’s “Champagne region”. Finally, we will finish with Lambrusco, which we all believe to be insanely delectable with food and should be ordered and enjoyed much more! The Lambrusco we will finish with is an off-dry version perfect to round out another incredible menu by Chef Joey Beato.

BEKAA VALLEY, LEBANON

Located along the Mediterranean sea, Lebanon has been producing wine for 7,000 years and was an integral part of trade conducted by the Phoenicians. Massaya’ story is intertwined with modern Lebanese history. Their story begins with the Ghosn family abandoning their property in the Beqaa Valley at the outbreak of civil war; however, the Ghosn brothers, Sami and Ramzi ultimately returned in the early 1990s to establish Massaya as an arak prooducer first and later as a winery.

We are so excited to present our very first sparkling wine dinner that features CHAMPAGNE! We will be basking in the bubbly beauty of grower champagne producer, Champagne Brice! The Brice family has lived in the village of Bouzy since the 17th century. Three generations ago, they were focused exclusively on red wine production, shifting to Champagne just after WWII. In 1994, Jean-Paul Brice founded Champagne Brice and ten years later Jean-Paul’s sons Jean-René and Remi took the reins, with consulting oenologist and viticulturist Christophe Constant, formerly of J.-L. Vergnon and Paul Bara.

Brice owns twelve hectares of vines, eight of which are in the prime mid-slopes of the Grand Cru village of Bouzy - mostly Pinot Noir with one hectare of Chardonnay. These eight hectares are divided into only 16 plots, making them quite large by Champagne standards. The remaining estate vineyards are in Chigny-lès-Roses (1.5 hectares of Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier) and Loches-sur-Ource in the Aube (2.5 hectares of Pinot Noir). All vineyards are farmed organically, and the house style eschews malolactic fermentation entirely.

CATALONIAN PRODUCER FOCUSING ON INDIGENOUS GRAPES

Celler Pardas is part of the new generation of producers in Catalonia focusing on their terroirs and indigenous grapes such as Xarello, Macabeo and Sumoll. The project began in 1996 when local winegrowers Ramon Parera and Jordi Arnan bought the Can Comas estate in Alt Penedes. The medieval farmhouse was surrounded by 60 hectares of forest, pasture and scrub land cut through by the Bitlles River. They cleared some areas and started palnting cuttings shortly after. Their vineyards are scattered across three main sites with varied soil profiles, ranging from rocky clay and limestone terraces to deep alluvial soils. Their focus is preserving the balance and health of their land. They farm organically without irrigation and aim to work in partnership with nature.

VEGETARIAN MENU AND WINES FROM A TRAILBLAZING NATURAL WOMAN WINEMAKER IN PUGLIA, ITALY

Once a year, we host a vegetarian wine dinner, usually in early summer, so we can celebrate the bounty of our local, midwestern produce. We like to select wines that are vegan, but also may tell a greater…more natural story. This year, we are pairing our vegetarian wine dinner with the wine of 9 Is Enough.

Valentina Passalacqua is a trailblazing young natural winemaker in Puglia, a region not exactly known for biodynamic, no sulfur wines.  She took over her family’s land (used only for cattle grazing since 1900), located inside Gargano National Park, to create a diverse farm that includes indigenous grape varietals.  Her family considered the land too difficult, too poor, for crops, not realizing that they were actually sitting on a precious marble mine – or soil that happens to be amazing for vines.  The rocky, mineral-rich soil does not retain water (also great for vines), and proximity to the sea means cooling breezes and ventilation (another plus).  Valentina’s wines are pure, elegant, never soupy as you sometimes see in wines from Puglia (it’s hot there). Because, she is careful about canopy management (to ensure grapes don’t get cooked) and picks early to retain freshness and acidity. Finally, you’ll see that 9 Is Enough gets it’s name from the fact that all 3 wines come in at 9% ABV, making them the perfect, fresh, elegant summer sippers.

Organic, small batch, wild ferment, single vineyard wineS FROM MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND

Deep Down is a boutique producer founded by Clive Dougall and Peter Lorimer who share a love of organics, exceptional wine and a life well lived.

They believe in trusting your gut feeling and intuition, and the name reflects the duo’s decision to do just that.

The wines are small batch, low intervention, delicious and approachable, produced from land farmed with care, vineyards managed with respect, and a team dedicated to honest wine from an incredible region.

brainchild of Kenny Likitprakong BASED IN SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA

Kenny found his first winemaking job in the Santa Cruz mountains in 1999 before starting Hobo Wine Company in 2002. The “Hobo” name refers to Kenny’s winemaking experiences traveling and working place to place. It applies now to the fact that Kenny does not own his own vineyards, but sources fruit from vineyard owners who he has longstanding relationships with around California, some of which he worked with before starting Hobo.

The Hobo winery has been based in Santa Rosa since 2013. You can look at a map and see the spread of his 42 vineyards: 240 miles between his most southerly parcels in Arroyo Seco and his most northerly vineyards in Redwood Valley.  His vineyards go as far east as Clarksburg, near Sacramento, over 60 miles from his winery in Santa Rosa.  Kenny has cultivated relationships with 27 different farmers across 14 or more AVAs. Nearly all of the vineyards they lease are organically farmed and 88% of the total vineyards that they source from are sustainably, organically, or biodyamically farmed. The winery itself is Certified Organic which will be represented on the labels beginning with the 2021 vintage.

Kenny’s wines are accessibly priced, especially for California. The labels are eye-catching and without capsules, helping to eliminate waste. The winery is committed to sustainable packaging including a high percentage of recycled glass (all domestic) and natural corks. On the back of his labels, it is noted that he is a member of 1% for the Planet, an organization started by the founders of Patagonia to facilitate donations to green organizations. He donates 1% of his gross sales to non-profits.

A THIRD GENERATION ESTATE OF THE RUIVO FAMILY

Lagar de Darei is a gorgeous 150-hectare property nestled in the Dao Valley in central Portugal, in the municipality of Mangualde. A dedicated natural reserve comprises the vast majority of the area with beautiful forests that line the Dao River, verdant farmland for cattle, apple orchards, and 6.8 hectaes of organic-certified grape vines. Darei is the name of the town that the winery sits in, with a population of only 40 people. At the moment, the total production for the estate is just 45,000 bottles annually focused on the local and indigenous white and red varieties. As a result of the winemaker’s sincere focus on traditionally made wines using old cement lagares and beautiful old presses, the wines are clear, focused and speak to the terroir of the area. Guanito (bat guano) is all the fertilizer they need on their serradela, white clover and strawberry clover covered ground to encourage the healthy growth of their native white and red varieties. Striving to only show the natural terroir of their small region, Lagar de Darei is all about the tradition of the area and not the fashion of the wine world.

Tutti Frutti Ananas is a collaborative project between three vignerons in Collioure and Banyuls, France.

Tutti Frutti Ananas is a collaboration that sees Manuel of Vinyer de la Ruca team up with friends Zé Tafé of La Cave des Nomades and Joachim Roque of Domaine Carterole to make the kind of wines they like drinking by the Mediterranean down in Banyuls-sur-Mer.

The guys farm organically over a combination of sand, schist and quartz from vineyards both close to the sea and up in the mountains that loom above. They make the wines together in Les 9 Caves, a cooperative cellar they share in an old garage in the town’s centre. The wines ferment and age in large concrete vats and are bottled young, brimming with life.

Under their own labels, they each farm old bush vines planted on steep slopes over pure schist. In this arid climate, yields are painfully low and the resulting wines are powerful and intense, often requiring careful ageing to show their true pedigree. The idea here is to do something a little different and as the name suggests the wines are vibrant, easygoing and most importantly, incredibly delicious.
