Minimal-intervention, bright white wine made with sustainably grown California grapes by Kareen Wine

Merwah & Sauvignon Blanc Fresh, lively, tropical aromatics, medium-bodied skin contact white. Diverse and food-friendly wine. Blend of 150 year-old vine Merwah from the Qannboubine Valley and younger Sauvignon Blanc from the Bekaa Valley. 1 liter bottle.

Vidal Blanc Apricot and apple upfront, so fresh and so clean on the palate, backbone of acidity with pineapple and peach notes on the finish. Rocklands Winery, Maryland. Native yeast fermentation, unfined & unfiltered, no sulfites added.

45% Chardonnay, 15% Grenache Blanc, 10% Tocai Friulano, 7% Orange Muscat, 7% Picpoul, 7% Vermentino, 5% Ribolla Gialla, 2% Sauvignon Blanc, 2% Colombard Apple and pear, dried apricot, citrus rind, honey suckle, quince, and a floral note from the Orange Muscat. Juicy and fresh, with light body and lower ABV. The direct-press components accentuate the juicy mouthfeel, create a noticeable tannic structure, and provide a fresh finish.

Dry, crisp, aromas of green apple, melon, yellow flowers, and lime. Mouthwateringly with delicate bubbles. Champagne Method.

Made in a 'reverse saignée' method, half of the grapes in this wine are pressed to rosé juice and added back to a tank of destemmed fruit, resulting in a lighter, snappier, red/rosé that is super juicy and fruity on the palette, with just a touch of tannins.

30% Zinfandel, 20% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Syrah, 10% Gernache Bright, tart fruit with great clarity, followed by fresh acidity. The Pinot portion of this wine adds an umami earthiness that balances the crunchy red fruit from Zin and Grenache. The Syrah provides a backbone of iron and tannins.

Cinsault Fresh, fruit-forward dry red, made entirely of Cinsault from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Medium-bodied red made in a more natural style, yet still approachable and delicious. 1 liter bottle.
