Staff Pick Notes

Meinklang is one of the *extremely* natural winemakers: certified biodynamic, ceramic eggs, vegan, wild yeasts and little-to-no sulfur, the whole thing. Their vineyards look more like fields of wildflowers than neatly rowed agricultural plots, with insect hotels, fruit trees, and families of wild birds nestled in among the vines. This is a wild, single vineyard pet-nat that they've started making and it is crazy good. From 100% Pinot Gris, the natural fermentation means each vintage is unique--2015 came out in a very dry style and shows upfront, ultra-drinkable notes of apricots, passion fruit, and cider. Showing a bit of tannin, the 'Foam' will pair well with all manner of pork, with goat cheese tarts, avocado salad, and celery root schnitzel. Enjoy!

Pinot Gris

Pinot Grigio is an Italian synonym for the French Pinot Gris variety, but many more people have had Pinot Grigio than a Pinot Gris. At its most basic level, the grape produces varietals that are smooth and easy to drink, and perfect with a huge range of dishes that just beg to be paired with a fresh white wine. There is an entire spectrum of Pinot Gris/Grigio, however, the best of them being subtly aromatic and deeply colored, with formidable structures. Most of Italy's Pinot Grigio is grown in...
