- Bottle ToGo Aglianico, Grifalco 'Gricos', IT$50.00
Basilicata, Italy. Delightful Organic, Volcanic Aglianico. Grifalco’s ‘Gricos’ is their “barbecue” wine and is made in a slightly fresher style where the dark plummy fruit is still primary but the tannins are a little softer. There is still plenty of depth, structure and meatiness to stand up to grilled meats Indigenous yeasts, certified organic Aglianico is an ancient grape commonly grown in Southern Italy that is finally getting the recognition it deserves. The grape produces full bodied wine with firm tannins and high acidity giving it great aging potential. Many call this wine the ‘Barolo’ of the south. Grifalco’s ‘Gricos’ is their “barbeque” wine and is made in a slightly fresher style where the dark plummy fruit is still primary but the tannins are a little softer. There is still plenty of depth, structure and meatiness to stand up to grilled meats or hearty meat pastas.
- Bottle ToGo Albarino, Thee & Thou, CA$46.00
Thee And Thou winery, located in North Yuba County, California was formed by John Donaghue, a former skyscraper engineer who discovered his passion for winemaking while working alongside Gideon Beinstock of Clos Saron. Using low-intervention procedures, neutral wood, and natural fermentations, John has developed his talents through years of hands-on experience to create distinct and expressive wines. His never-ending search for unique terroirs has taken him to other locations like as Lodi, where he continues to make rich, balanced, and age-worthy wines. The Terra Alta vineyard in Lodi's Clements Hills area produces Thee And Thou's Albariño. The grapes for this lovely white wine are harvested early in the morning, followed by foot-stomping and skin maceration for around five days before pressing. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in neutral French oak
- Bottle ToGo Cabernet/Merlot, Carolina Gatti 'La bolla del fugazi', IT$44.00
Veneto, Italy Organic farming; clay-chalk soils with 20 year-old vines; made in the frizzante col fondo style, un-disgorged, bottled under crown cap with no added SO2; zero-zero; Like this unusual fizzy blend of the red grapes that grow well in this cool, wet region: Cab, Merlot and Raboso. Super dry and crunchy with wild berries and a dominant green, stemmy thing (hallmarks of Cab, Merlot + Raboso in the Veneto), this is the perfect guzzler for pizza or anything fatty -- the acid and fizz will cut right through the fat, and refresh the palate. Her outfit is a rustic farm in the boondocks of Italy's Veneto region, where she works the land herself, with no chemical inputs, and makes the wines with very little intervention. She’s pushing boundaries and making gutsy, unorthodox wines in a very conventional, by-the-books region.
- Bottle ToGo Cava Brut Nature Reserva, Castell D'Age 'Anne Marie', SP$39.00
Straw yellow in color with green tones. Pleasant and fresh on the palate with delicate brioche notes against a backdrop of ripe fruits and nuts. Fine, slow-moving beads and a crown mousse. Full finish with good length and long-lasting flavor. Perfect for serving with appetizers to desserts, particularly seafood, fish, and semi-matured cheeses. Castell d’Age is the creation of three generations of women in the Junyent family, located in the Beguda Baixa, in the heart of the Alt Penedés region. It all started with Aurèlia Figuera and then was transformed by Anne Marie Comtesse in the late 1980s with the production of Cava. Anne Marie is a pioneer in introducing organic farming in the region. With the addition of her daughter Olivia Junyent to the business, they are now certified organic and biodynamic agriculture, a method that respects the relationship between humans and earth.
- Bottle ToGo Cinsault, Vinateros Bravos 'El Tunel', CH$62.00
Itata, Chile The 0.6-hectare vineyard El Tunel is made of 100% Cinsault planted in the 1959. With notes of red fruits and a slightly salty flavor, this wine reflects the unique symbiosis of this grape with Itata’s breezy coast and granite hillsides. Organic viticulture encourages this delicate wine to speak for itself and its natural surroundings. "The Cinsault reaches totally different levels on Granitic soils. This grape variety that makes simple wine elsewhere in the world here in Itata is the opossite. Intention, weight, red fruit and spices, and mineral end that lingers for a long time. The granitic soils expressing and showing off through the wine, Cinsault is here a translator of the Terroir. The steep hils, the granitic rock, and cold climate makes this complex wine, something to stop, feel and think in every sip. Drink slow."
- Bottle ToGo Fernao Pires, Cluricaun, PT$38.00
A fresh and fun Pet Nat, with floral and citrus on the nose. It has an enticing palate, with lovely freshness and acidity. Almost as playful as its mischievous namesake. The Quinta do Montalto team note that: The Claurican is a mischievous and good-natured fairy in Irish folklore known for his great love of drinking and a tendency to haunt breweries, pubs, and wine cellars. Because we don't want to be pranked by him, we bottle under his name, the most natural and out-of-the-box wines. Origin: Lisbon, Portugal Vintage: 2021 Grape varieties: Fernão Pires

- Bottle ToGo Ice Cider, Eden Cider 'Heirloom Blend', VT$44.00
Vermont. Ice Cider is a premium dessert style cider that makes a delicious ending to any meal! We’ve been making world class ice ciders here in far Northern Vermont since the harvest of 2007. It takes us anywhere from 1 – 3 years to produce an ice cider, and over 8lbs. of apples for one beautiful 375ml bottle! Delicious, with concentrated sweetness balanced by a backbone of acidity that keeps them from being cloying and makes you crave that next sip! Local and natural: Our ice ciders are produced from locally grown, fresh heirloom variety apples. The juice is naturally cold-concentrated outdoors in our cold Vermont winter weather. We use only yeast, organic yeast nutrient, and minimal sulfite additions – no enzymes, fining agents, color, sugar, or other flavorings or preservatives are used or added. (Note that apples are naturally gluten free)
- Bottle ToGo Lambrusco, Folicello 'Il Rosso', IT$38.00
Lambrusco is having a moment in the sun again--we think it's because of high quality, hand made wines like this one. Rather than using the modern method of fermenting the wine in pressurized tanks, they are relying on the ancestral method of fermenting in the bottle. Why does this make a difference? The yeast create the CO2 in one continuous fermentation and then remain in the bottle, where they continue to have an impact on the complexity of the wine. The result is a totally dry wine at a lower level of alcohol--in this case 10.5%.
- Bottle ToGo Limnio/Muscat, Garalis 'Roseus', GR$29.00
Lemnos, Greece. Roseus is a unique rosé from blending the main grape of Lemnos’ island, the floral Muscat of Alexandria, with the oldest referenced grape in the world and indigenous to the island’s volcanic soil, the spicy Limnio. Blend of Muscat of Alexandria with a touch of Limnio, with the use of prepared organic yeast, and minimal filtration. Intense tropical aromas with the added freshness and spiciness of the Limnio grape, and a crunchy, dry, and aromatic palate.
- Bottle ToGo Malbec, Adelante, ARG$42.00
Mendoza, Argentina As usual we were one of the first to pick in La Consulta. We do this to make a wine that retains freshness and acidity, allowing the spice in Malbec to express itself. Our goal is to achieve balance among all the elements along with richness to match with a wide range of foods: from meat to Mediterranean foods. The wine was pressed with natural malolactic fermentation completed in the tank. No SO2 was added until the malolactic fermentation was completed. Then 25% was aged in new French oak, 25% in old French oak, with the rest in tank to preserve freshness. Malbec is known for its dark color and concentrated character. Our 2021 Adelante Malbec impresses with its concentration while maintaining freshness and balance. It has weight at entry, a round middle, mature tannins with a persistent long finish.
- Bottle ToGo Mencia, Antonio Montero 'Alborexar 4.0', SP$46.00

- Bottle ToGo Picpoul Blend, Broc Cellars 'Love White', CA$46.00
Tasting Notes: Kaffir lime & orange peel on the nose. Key lime, grapefruit, honey blossom & sea salt on the palate. This is one of the more interesting and complex Love Whites yet. It’s evolved over the years from a Rhône blend of Marsanne and Roussanne and this is the first year we’ve added Orange Muscat to the mix. California is one of the few places Orange Muscat is grown and it is often made in a sweeter style wine. For us, we love the beautiful aromatics and charming texture it brings to the wine. Picpoul from Windmill Vineyard is more substantially featured this year, which brings a new brightness to the blend that makes it hard to put down the glass. All white grapes receive a light footstomp on arrival at the winery. It’s an important step for two reasons: We like the complexity the short skin contact gives the wine
- Bottle ToGo Pineau d'Aunis, Gaspard 'Bulles', FR$42.00
Loire, France NV - Pineau d’aunis & Grolleau Bursting with notes of red berries, this Pet Nat has a refreshing, but delicate fizz thanks to its year-long ageing on fine lees.The fruitiness and bubbles that define this bottle balance salty and creamy dishes. Bright and refreshing! 80 years old vines. Methode Champenoise, aka secondary fermentation in bottles with lees, for 12 months. The wine is disgorged and topped up with more wine, zero sugar added.
- Bottle ToGo Pinot Noir, Folk Machine, CA$42.00
The 2022 Central Coast pinot noir is a blend of mission ranch (arroyo seco) and cedar lane (arroyo seco). the wine was aged in 2-6 year old french oak burgundy barrels. the various lots were harvested in the 22 brix range, and fermented whole berry. the primary fer- mentation was uninoculated and the malolactic fermentation was spontaneous. we did not rack, keeping the wine on the lees with occasional batonage until bottling to round out the mouthfeel. Tasting Notes The 2022 Folk Machine Pinot Noir was very gently extracted during fermentation and pressed early to further minimize extraction leading to a quite pretty and standout vintage in my opinion. the wine is elegant and lean per normal, but quintessentially California pinot noir with ethereal fruit and spice I say the same thing every year, but always a go-to choice to serve with almost any food, fun to drink, and no
- Bottle ToGo Riesling, Dr. Lippold 'Josephine', DE$38.00
Mosel, Germany The grapes for this delicious Riesling come from the prized area of Ürziger Würztgarten, in the middle Mosel above the village of Ürzig. Vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel vats, and intentionally released after a minimum of one year in the bottle, it displays classic Mosel mineral and lime notes throughout with bright, crisp acidity and just enough residual sugar to soften the edges. Christened and named by the Francophile Enno Lippold after Napoleon’s wife Josephine, it is meant to be a reminder that Riesling from the Mosel was once prized throughout the French court and, in particular, held in high esteem by none other than the wife of the emperor. Napoleon controlled this area of Germany for almost 15 years following his very successful military campaigns in the area.
- BOttle ToGo Syrah Blend, Domaine Rimbert, FR$38.00
Saint Chinian, France 15% Carignan, 50% Syrah, 15% Cinsaut, and 20% Mourvèdre The domaine’s first red wine named after Rimbert’s son Marceau, born during the very first harvest at the new estate. Challenging beginnings, great results: this wine is what Jean-Marie calls “the best quality-price-pleasure ratio” — a supple and yummy wine ready for all kinds of fun, and especially delicious chilled. Ruby in the glass with purple highlights. The nose is packed with crushed red berry, plum, blueberry and notes of saddle leather backed by crushed stones. The palate is supple as it delivers red and black fruit flavors backed by silken minerality and a deft touch of acidity.
- Bottle ToGo Vermentino Blend, Giornata, CA$42.00
Paso Robles, CA Giornata is an exciting project from husband and wife Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi (of Broadside Vineyards fame), working with Italian varietals in California’s Paso Robles AVA. A blend of the southern Italian grape Falanghina with the universally recognized Pinot Grigio, this wine is at once true to its Italian roots and also its Paso upbringing. The nose showcases a tropical blend of papaya, mango, and kiwi. The palate is slick and weighty courtesy of the Falanghina, with lift lended by the PG in the blend. Il Campo Bianco finishes with another burst of tropical fruit, powerful and unadorned with oak.
- Bottle ToGo Zinfandel, Uphold 'For the people', CA$36.00
