@amys_wines and Melissa visited Luigi Maga and his son Giuseppe today and tasted the infamous wines of Barbacarlo in Broni, Oltrepo Pavese. They got to taste and enjoy the company of these epic producers. Real farmers, working a mere 8 ha by hand without any chemicals for 82 vintages, zero sulphur added EVER. All natural. Co-fermentations of Croatina, Uva Rara and Vespolina. The aging capacity of these wines is hard to believe.

The day started with the 1958 & finished with handmade ravioli, not a bad day to start the weekend, right?
Melissa was too busy tasting and talking to get a picture of herself! Sometimes our badass boss lady can be a little camera shy ☺️ #unreal #italy #worktrip #italianwines #epicproducers #epicwines #1958 #linomagabarbacarlo

#WineryAppreciationWednesday
We adore the Loire for the fresh style it delivers, as well as for the intimate vibe the region exudes but we adore Ludivne & Rudolph even more!
Jacky Marteau is the definition of a family affair, with the torch being carried consistently from generation to generation (as you can see Rodolphe's kids are already very hands on). We appreciate partnerships such as these where we’re working with families with similar values to ours. Although they came from a fourth generation wine making family, the young duo sought education and experience before taking over completely. They have now hit their stride, with Rodolphe caring for the vineyard and the winery while Ludivine takes care of sales and marketing. They use the wisdom of their ancestors without rejecting modern technology and innovation.
Fun fact: The wines are named after Melissa's daughter (Lulu) but it also happens to be Ludivine's nickname! We took this as a sign when we partnered up 8 vintages ago!

Will the Lulu lineup make it to your Thanksgiving dinner? It will definitely be on ours 😜

Wishing it was warm and sunny and we had a chilled bottle of Bulles de Miniere in our hands. I guess we’ll have to settle for just a bottle of this right now.

Winery Appreciation Wednesday!
Let’s drink more wines from the Marche for their charm and value.
While Tuscany is on the tip of everyone’s tongue, Marche remains a discovery.
So discover it! The Ciu Ciu (local slang for chug chug) farm was founded by Natalie and Anna Maria Barolomei.
Located in the hear of the Piceno Hills, the certified organic estate is kilometers from the splendid medical town of Offida, as well as the gorgeous Adriatic coast. (Kids hanging by the beach while mom works). The Bartoloemei family holds the conviction that wine should be the most authentic expression of the land so all practices are organic and the regime in the cellar is to do as little as possible.
Bacchus is a gem, blending Sangiovese and Montepulciano. It is juicy, with dark fruit and earthy undertones. Your pasta will sing!
For more, check out @siptripitaly, where the winery was recently featured

Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃👻🕸🔪⚰️ Final & top pick for our movie/wine pairing!
Here’s Johnny!
The Shining is considered one of the greatest horror films of all time and one of Jack Nicholson’s best performance. If it’s your first time or nth time watching the Shining we suggest you do it with 3L of Malbec. You read that right, Le Temps Infini is a Malbec in a tube. I don’t know about you but we love the idea of good wine in alternative packaging. Grab some twix 👯‍♀️and get to watching. If you own a cat I bet that bathroom scene will feel strangely familiar. Make sure your cat sits on your lap to keep you company while you watch and sip away.
P.S No judgement if you finish most of this while watching the movie, we approve 😉
