Our friend Winnie is always on the lookout for a killer wine deal. And her idea of a great pour is heavier than normal, and a bit cheaper than usual. So once a month, we source a killer wine, and oblige on the pour.

A Winnie Wine Pour is an 8 oz serving of killer wine for just $6.

One day only. From the time we open, until last call or we run out, whichever comes first.

Our March selection features two lovely wines from La Casaccia in the Italian Piedmont.

The Poggeto is a lovely, lighter red made of purely Grignolino grapes. They are challenging to grow and vinify, as they have many seeds which contributes to a robust tannic quality and increased acidity. But when done well, like this one is, it’s a beautiful drinking experience, featuring a light body and color laced with bright strawberry and sweet cherry notes. We plan to serve this with a slight chill.

The Charno is a Chardonnay fermented solely in stainless steel. It features unbelievable ripe fruit notes, salinity and minerality from the chalky, limestone soils from which is is born, and a delicate freshness that makes it perfect for pairing with food or enjoying on a balcony overlooking a moving stream. Aged on the lees for a bit longer than usual, which imparts a layered texture that is the cherry on top.

La Casaccia is the fruit of the Rava family’s labors. Husband and wife combo Giovanni and Elena, with their adult kids, daughter Margherita and son Marcello, have been farming about 12 hectares around their home village for over two decades now. They hand pick all fruit, often just the four of them. Then, in the courtyard of their own home, the grapes are destemmed and gravity fed into the subterranean winemaking space. In fact, Elena’s ancestors have been making wine in the region for several generations now. Plus, the vineyards and winery are certified organic.

As our importer, Piedmont Wine Imports puts it, “The honesty of the Rava’s approach… four farmers. Nothing complicated, just thousands of hours of diligent, by-hand labor.”

We hope you will make plans to stop by and experience a taste of these delicious wines!
