@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

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 😜

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 😉
#theshining #malbec #frenchwine #redwine #frenchmalbec #3L #troislitre #letempsinfini #timelesswine #timelessmovie #classic #happyhalloween
🔪 🚿 🛁 Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho puts us in the mood for some fresh style of Bordeaux. Our partners at Chateau Mangot decided to make this natural sulfur free (as free as it can get) Bordeaux and it is DELICIOUS. The grapes are hand picked off of 3 blocks of the 16 hectare estate, which is south facing hillsides, organically farmed following the Cousinié Method. They alternate grass cover and tillage between rows and help the vine develop natural defenses by applying herbal preparations. The result of all this is Le Marmot – a Bordeaux with notes blackberry, chocolate & dried fig. Grab some Reese’s Pieces & a bottle of Le Marmot before you sit down to watch this masterpiece.

#winesofbordeaux #bordeauxwines #normanbates
“In space no one can hear you scream” – Alien, the classic sci-fi horror film made it to our list. Grab a bag of (suggesting the family size) Doritos before you get to watching and pop open our very own OCD Pet Nat AKA Orbis Moderandi Sauvignon Blanc. If you are anything like us you are probably already obsessed with this wine so we don’t need to convince you to drink this. My mouth started watering a bit 🤤. Lucky for me the sample shelf is full – brb I think I’ll just pop a bottle open while we finish the day 😜
#ocd #orbismoderandi #petnat #nz #nzwines #newzealandwines #nzsauvignonblanc #sauvignonblanc #apetnatadaykeepsthedoctoraway
Night of the Living Dead is up next because you gotta have some zombie action in this mix. This movie is considered one of the most socially relevant horror movies of all time, so what should you drink with it? We are thinking some bubbly with the classic movie snack: popcorn. Butteriness from the popcorn will pair well with the acidy and crispiness of Cui Cui – our Cremant d’Alsace. You don’t have to convince us to drink Cui Cui, we are always down for some bubbles. ALWAYS.
#cuicui #cremant #alsace #cremantdalsace #bubbly #popcorntime #michelnartz #sparklingwine #frenchwine #winesofalsace
Poltergeist (1982) – Remember there was a time when TV static noise also meant a potential ghost/spirit haunted house? So glad we are past those times.
If you feel like reminiscing about those days go ahead and watch this movie but before you get comfortable make sure to grab a couple of Kit Kat’s, a glass, your corkscrew and pop open Strangeways. I’d be lying if I told you this California Pinot Noir only pairs well with scary movies because it actually pairs well with anything you want to watch. So if you’re not down to watch Poltergeist, we will not be offended because who can say not to Pinot Nonir and some Kit Kat?! #californiawines #california #pinotnoir #usawines #redwines #everydayred #emu
Up next: The Exorcist.
It’s considered one of the most well-constructed horror movies of all time so it’s definitely on our list.
How can you make it through this movie? Easy, grab a bottle of Alpha Zeta Amarone. Amarone is the erudite thug: big, bold and smooth. With touches of black cherry, molasses and brown sugar you will not even notice that this baby packs 14.5% alcohol. But before you sit make sure you have a bowl of hershey’s special dark chocolate minis. Enjoy!
#italianwine #amaronedellavalpolicella #redwine #italy #hersheyschocolate #darkchocolate #corvina #veronese #rondinella #theexorcist #scarymovies
Countdown to 🎃👻 Starting off with a classic movie, oh Michael Myers how you haunted me in my dreams! While there’s been plenty of remakes and sequels we like to start with the original from 1978- it’s got all the elements for a good Halloween movie: the creepy factor & the musical score shine on this one.
If you are watching Halloween we suggest you open up a bottle of Oracle Red Blend. A bottle of Sangiovese, Barbera and Zinfandel is exactly what I want to have before I take on Michael Myers, even if he gets to me I win because I got to have this as my last drink. The notes of black raspberry jam, plum and tobacco will be my last thoughts and I’m OK with that. Grab a warm blanket and some twizzlers before you hit play!

‘Flavo’ Malvasia
Flavo is named after Flaviana, one of the 2 beautiful Zanchi daughters.
Aromas are smokey, with stone fruit accents and a touch of spice.
Richly bodied yet tempered by tangy acidity.
The finish is briny, nutty, and mineral.
Azienda Agricola Zanchi is a family affair currently in its 3rd generation of production.
Organic practices in the 30 ha vineyard in Amelia, Umbria.
Minimal intervention in the cellar.
The wines truly express the magically beautiful place that reflects a truly healthy biodiversity of animals and myriad plant and trees species.
The Zanchi family, Leonardo, Anna Maria, daughters, Flores, Flaviana, and son-in-law Mario, are an incredibly warm and hospitable family, with the highest level of attention to detail with everything they do. We ❤️ Zanchi.

2015 Muschelkalk - petrol, lime and peppery. Vibrancy and textures layers permeate the elegant finish.
Peter and Else are knowledgeable, passionate and truly authentic. Their commitment to the environment and health of the soil are inspiring and it shines in their gorgeous wines. We are very proud to be representing this small, organically farmed Martinsdof estate of 17ha Zuschman-Schöffman.
Muschelkalk translates to shell/limestone which is the dominant feature of the soil.

Repost from our friends over at @sevenfiftydaily because today is the perfect weather for this. We are going to open it now before the temperature drops down and we switch our drink of choice to hot chocolate 🍂
Michel Nartz is a family winery in the village of Dambach-la-Ville in Alsace, France. The Cui Cui Cremant d'Alsace is made by winemaker Laurence Nartz (daughter of Michel and Gaby Nartz), using Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot Gris.
.
This cremant has layers of flavors—lemon pith and grapefruit spritz meet brioche and fresh cut grass. It is tangy and creamy at the same time with sharp and mouth-filling bubbles. It closes with a long, lemon curd finish. This wine is imported by Communal Brands. 📷: @quinndar @communalbrands

Always a pleasure to participate in @wineonwheelsnyc a huge kudos to @yannickbenjamin on another massive success. Thanks for having us!
@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 😜

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 😉
#theshining #malbec #frenchwine #redwine #frenchmalbec #3L #troislitre #letempsinfini #timelesswine #timelessmovie #classic #happyhalloween
🔪 🚿 🛁 Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho puts us in the mood for some fresh style of Bordeaux. Our partners at Chateau Mangot decided to make this natural sulfur free (as free as it can get) Bordeaux and it is DELICIOUS. The grapes are hand picked off of 3 blocks of the 16 hectare estate, which is south facing hillsides, organically farmed following the Cousinié Method. They alternate grass cover and tillage between rows and help the vine develop natural defenses by applying herbal preparations. The result of all this is Le Marmot – a Bordeaux with notes blackberry, chocolate & dried fig. Grab some Reese’s Pieces & a bottle of Le Marmot before you sit down to watch this masterpiece.
#frenchwine #bordeaux #naturalwine #organicwines #redwine #psycho #alfredhitchcock
#winesofbordeaux #bordeauxwines #normanbates
“In space no one can hear you scream” – Alien, the classic sci-fi horror film made it to our list. Grab a bag of (suggesting the family size) Doritos before you get to watching and pop open our very own OCD Pet Nat AKA Orbis Moderandi Sauvignon Blanc. If you are anything like us you are probably already obsessed with this wine so we don’t need to convince you to drink this. My mouth started watering a bit 🤤. Lucky for me the sample shelf is full – brb I think I’ll just pop a bottle open while we finish the day 😜
#ocd #orbismoderandi #petnat #nz #nzwines #newzealandwines #nzsauvignonblanc #sauvignonblanc #apetnatadaykeepsthedoctoraway
Night of the Living Dead is up next because you gotta have some zombie action in this mix. This movie is considered one of the most socially relevant horror movies of all time, so what should you drink with it? We are thinking some bubbly with the classic movie snack: popcorn. Butteriness from the popcorn will pair well with the acidy and crispiness of Cui Cui – our Cremant d’Alsace. You don’t have to convince us to drink Cui Cui, we are always down for some bubbles. ALWAYS.
#cuicui #cremant #alsace #cremantdalsace #bubbly #popcorntime #michelnartz #sparklingwine #frenchwine #winesofalsace
Poltergeist (1982) – Remember there was a time when TV static noise also meant a potential ghost/spirit haunted house? So glad we are past those times.
If you feel like reminiscing about those days go ahead and watch this movie but before you get comfortable make sure to grab a couple of Kit Kat’s, a glass, your corkscrew and pop open Strangeways. I’d be lying if I told you this California Pinot Noir only pairs well with scary movies because it actually pairs well with anything you want to watch. So if you’re not down to watch Poltergeist, we will not be offended because who can say not to Pinot Nonir and some Kit Kat?! #californiawines #california #pinotnoir #usawines #redwines #everydayred #emu
Up next: The Exorcist.
It’s considered one of the most well-constructed horror movies of all time so it’s definitely on our list.
How can you make it through this movie? Easy, grab a bottle of Alpha Zeta Amarone. Amarone is the erudite thug: big, bold and smooth. With touches of black cherry, molasses and brown sugar you will not even notice that this baby packs 14.5% alcohol. But before you sit make sure you have a bowl of hershey’s special dark chocolate minis. Enjoy!
#italianwine #amaronedellavalpolicella #redwine #italy #hersheyschocolate #darkchocolate #corvina #veronese #rondinella #theexorcist #scarymovies
Countdown to 🎃👻 Starting off with a classic movie, oh Michael Myers how you haunted me in my dreams! While there’s been plenty of remakes and sequels we like to start with the original from 1978- it’s got all the elements for a good Halloween movie: the creepy factor & the musical score shine on this one.
If you are watching Halloween we suggest you open up a bottle of Oracle Red Blend. A bottle of Sangiovese, Barbera and Zinfandel is exactly what I want to have before I take on Michael Myers, even if he gets to me I win because I got to have this as my last drink. The notes of black raspberry jam, plum and tobacco will be my last thoughts and I’m OK with that. Grab a warm blanket and some twizzlers before you hit play!

‘Flavo’ Malvasia
Flavo is named after Flaviana, one of the 2 beautiful Zanchi daughters.
Aromas are smokey, with stone fruit accents and a touch of spice.
Richly bodied yet tempered by tangy acidity.
The finish is briny, nutty, and mineral.
Azienda Agricola Zanchi is a family affair currently in its 3rd generation of production.
Organic practices in the 30 ha vineyard in Amelia, Umbria.
Minimal intervention in the cellar.
The wines truly express the magically beautiful place that reflects a truly healthy biodiversity of animals and myriad plant and trees species.
The Zanchi family, Leonardo, Anna Maria, daughters, Flores, Flaviana, and son-in-law Mario, are an incredibly warm and hospitable family, with the highest level of attention to detail with everything they do. We ❤️ Zanchi.

2015 Muschelkalk - petrol, lime and peppery. Vibrancy and textures layers permeate the elegant finish.
Peter and Else are knowledgeable, passionate and truly authentic. Their commitment to the environment and health of the soil are inspiring and it shines in their gorgeous wines. We are very proud to be representing this small, organically farmed Martinsdof estate of 17ha Zuschman-Schöffman.
Muschelkalk translates to shell/limestone which is the dominant feature of the soil.

Repost from our friends over at @sevenfiftydaily because today is the perfect weather for this. We are going to open it now before the temperature drops down and we switch our drink of choice to hot chocolate 🍂
Michel Nartz is a family winery in the village of Dambach-la-Ville in Alsace, France. The Cui Cui Cremant d'Alsace is made by winemaker Laurence Nartz (daughter of Michel and Gaby Nartz), using Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot Gris.
.
This cremant has layers of flavors—lemon pith and grapefruit spritz meet brioche and fresh cut grass. It is tangy and creamy at the same time with sharp and mouth-filling bubbles. It closes with a long, lemon curd finish. This wine is imported by Communal Brands. 📷: @quinndar @communalbrands

They are having a little trouble cracking the wine scene because they only want 6am appointments. We’ve decided to use their talents in a different way.
