Staff Pick Notes

The world is rapidly changing. While canned wine was once the bane of a wine professional's palate, it has now become an excuse to make some of the most fun and accessible wines possible! If you have never tried some of these Nomadica cans, they are all a selection of wines by Sommelier Kirstin Olsezewski with a focus on the environmental impact of the wine industry, while of course still having quality in mind. This is an easy drinking, yet mildly structured orange with tons of apricot and fleshy peach. It begs to be consumed on a first date at Central Park with a Turkey Hero.

During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...

Albariño

The primary grape of the Rías Baixas (Lower Inlets) section of the Galicia region of northwestern Spain, Albariño is considered by many to be Spain's premier white wine. It also plays an important role in northern Portugal (where it is known as Alvarinho) as a component of Vinho Verde. The thick-skinned grapes thrive in the cool, windy climates of Galicia and northern Portgual, yielding intensely aromatic wines with typical aromas of almonds, white flowers, and stone fruits; the best examples...
