Gnarly Head Pinot Noir takes “the heartbreak grape” for a walk on the wild side. Grapes for this powerful pinot came from California growing regions notorious for growing great Pinot Noir: Monterey, Lodi and the North Coast. Fruit from each area brought a different layer to the overall blend. Vineyards in the Lodi region—a little-known source of fruit for many sparkling wine houses—provided the bold backbone for Gnarly Head Pinot Noir. North Coast fruit brought a wild element of smoky, savory aromas and flavors, while the Monterey fruit added a pure, ripe Bing cherry characteristic made famous by the region.

2021 Hat Trick Alentejano Vinho Tinto Casa Santos Lima was created to ensure the continuous development of Santos Lima’s wine producing activity created several generations ago. This activity was first started by Joaquim Santos Lima, who, by the turn of 19th century, was already a great producer and exporter of Portuguese wines. Still a family owned company, today is present in the regions of Lisboa, Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde and Douro. ‘Hat Trick’ has a double meaning, basically this wine is the third in a row of the Lisbon cuvées from Santos Lima. A different blend and a completely unique character due to the ripening influence of the sun in combination with chalky soil and the eight months of wood aging. The ‘Hat Trick’ is the ‘newest’ wine produced by Santos Lima, after the Portuga and the Tarambola. The ‘hat trick’ is depicted literally on the label; ‘a trick from the top hat’.

2020 I Giusti & Zanza Nemorino Red Toscana IGT L’Elisir D’Amore is an Italian 19th century opera buffa by Gaetano Donizetti.

It is primarily composed of Syrah (about 60%), with additions of Merlot and Sangiovese, as well as small shares of Alicante, according to the vintage.
