Staff Pick Notes

Puny d l’Angel is the brainchild of natural wine heroes Louis Antoine Luyt and the brothers Ferré of Cellars Frisach. Luyt is the native Frenchman who relocated to Chile and founded the natural wine movement there. He recently moved back to France and has collaborated with these young guns from Catalonia. It’s a super easy soft red/white blend of white Parellada and red Carignan. You’ll be charmed by the luminous pink-garnet appearance in the glass. The wine is loaded with soft flavors such as hibiscus, lychee, raspberries, and citrus. It’s then supported by a wet stone-like minerality and a cheese-like lactic acidity. Enjoy with fresh ricotta and honey.

Glossary

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before.

In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Carignan

Grown all over Europe and the Americas, Carignan (a.k.a. Carignane, Carignano, and Cariñena) is seldom seen as a 100% varietal wine. Many appellations of Languedoc-Roussillon must include a certain percentage of Carignan, but it is rarely the dominant grape in these blends. For years, this naturally high-yielding grape suffered from overproduction, but New World winemakers have lately taken up the Carignan cause and produced some distinctive and delicious examples. Now that it is subject to...

Parellada

Along with Macabeo and Xarel-lo, this is one of the three grapes that make up the traditional Cava blend. Occasionally blended with better-known varieties (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc) in delightful still whites, Parellada yields light and firmly acidic wines with pleasing floral aromas.
