π₯§ PIE TOWN 2.0 π₯§ San Diego based Los Pilares sources their hand picked apples from Julian - a town known for their orchards and Apple Days Festival circa 1949. Unlike San Diego's coastal communities, Julian is unique in having four distinct seasons. Up the road from the Los Pilares Vineyard is a small orchard planted by Teak, an obsessive orchardist. The orchard contains a wild menagerie of varieties. Los Pilares originally got to know Teak because they were using the apple waste from his mom's pie and cider operation as compost for their vineyard. Their Pie Town cider is bottle conditioned and undisgorged.

Ren and Marilyn Harris are two vine growers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn's grandparents emigrated from Italy to Napa Valley in 1890 while Ren's family came to California in 1769. Marilyn and Ren moved to Napa Valley in the 1960's and settled into their home just east of where Paradigm sits today. When they decided to purchase vineyards of their own in 1975, Oakville was the clear choice. With an incredibly loyal team, Paradigm preserves the small, family-owned style of winery that Napa Valley was built on. It maintains a hands-on approach to all vineyard and winemaking operations; nothing is outsourced. Every bottle you uncork was grown, crushed, fermented, barrel aged, bottled and stored on site. Ren and Marilyn are tireless advocates for the Oakville appellation, eco-friendly farming, and environmental stewardship. Vines are hand pruned and harvested. No herbicides are used. Mildew is prevented by using natural sulfur dust and other sustainable fungicide. The first vintage of Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon was made in 1991 from Ren and Marilyn Harrisβ estate vineyard in the heart of Oakville. Heidi Barrett made the inaugural vintage and continues as Paradigm's winemaker to this day. "Dark Cabernet color with beautiful aromas of black cherry, cassis, plums, 5-spice, vanilla. Big, ripe and mouthcoating across the palate. The flavors are similar to the aromas with ripe fruit, berry/cherry pie, moderate tannins, and nice length. This wine shows enough structure to be age-worthy yet soft and balanced enough to enjoy upon release. Flavors linger in this tasty dense wine. Tastes like Oakville." - Heidi Barrett

Itβs here! π NEW in town from @biankaunddaniel. Rheinhessen-grown, real cider just in time for Fall. Unfined, unfiltered and with no added SO2 - nothing but π. Bianka and Daniel Schmitt are two talented young winemakers making biodynamic wine βjust from grapesβ in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. Rheinhessen is the largest wine growing region in Germany, and has been largely associated with bulk production. However, in recent years, the regionβs reputation has begun to shift as a new generation of younger, more innovative growers are reducing yields and honing in on the largely undervalued terroir of this region. Bianka and Daniel epitomize this new wave of German winemakers, working hard to produce wines (and cider!) of the highest quality with as little intervention as possible. Bianka and Daniel have been working their 16 hectares biodynamically for over a decade and are one of only 80 producers in Germany to be Demeter certified.

Someone ask for that #pizzawine? πββοΈπ 100% Nero dβAvola back in stock from everyoneβs favorite Sicilian sisters @cantinamarilina π In 2000, Angelo PaternoΜ bought 60 hectares (148 acres) on a hill formerly known as Poggio dei Fossi in the southeastern Sicilian province of Siracusa near the town of Pachino. After 25 years in the business as the winemaker and technical director for the Sicilian wineries Cantine Settesoli and then Duca di Salaparuta, Angelo said that the land was one of the best viticulture areas he'd seen in Sicily. Today Angeloβs daughters, Marilina and Federica, are at the helm, with Angelo still helping in the cellar. Deeply influenced by Frank Cornelissen, the guru of natural winemaking on Mount Etna, the PaternoΜ family organically farms their land and makes wine with minimal intervention in the cellar.
