Please enjoy one of my all time fave pics @rymurf living his best life last year, when COVID wasn’t a thing and he was happily sipping a bottle by the lake...simpler times.

While most of us have gained a couple of lbs during quarantine and did not hop on the banana bread bandwagon, Harry became an artist 👩🎨
He calls himself Jr. Ross it’s pretty fitting.
The Saunders are quite talented!

It’s going to be 94° (34°C) this weekend in NY 🥵 so my weekend plans are to take a trip to Cali (via my couch) blast the AC, open up these bottles and binge whatever Netflix has to offer these days.

Sunsets at Domaine Jacky Marteau with a view of the Sauvignon Blanc vineyards.

Introducing our newest addition to the portfolio: Azienda Agricola Chiesa Carlo 🍷
Fifth generation winemakers making organic wines with low intervention. The soil in Roero has a very high sand content, the wines are defined by a high level of perfume and elegance. Authenticity of the territory is their pursuit. They have always been a working farm, producing everything that they need themselves. Completely self sustaining. Not a bad model in these crazy times.
We hope you like them as much as we do!

*NEW WINE ALERT*🚨 Let us introduce you to Das Orange 🍊
Fruit from older vines located in Weilerer Herrenzehntel, this baby is unmistakably Riesling with a twist. Highly aromatic. Think: freshly cut May flowers.
A 15 day post-fermentation maceration adds depth and texture. The last impression is dry, savory, and with a distinct note of orange blossom. For reals. Oh so poundable even as a Liter!

Wednesday calls for some Benevolent Neglect! The label seems to pair well with these daffodils 🌼
BN Ribolla. An intriguing wine. Citrus, cider, nuts, profoundly textured, hazy, hard to pin down.
Check it out. Try to figure it out. Dare you.

This bottle was interesting. Day 1 it was a little on the slutty-side. Left it alone. Checked-in on Day 3 and it was actually brighter and with more definition. Classier. Lovely to the finish actually. Whoops! Some of the art on the label compliments of Harry.
Fun Fact: Harry and Lulu actually want to design a wine label for us one day.

Shoutout to all the parents who are working from home, doubling as teachers during this quarantine.
Melissa somehow manages to: •Run a company •Work on her MW research paper •Homeschool her kids •Bake with her kids
•Be a pet mom

Less hustle bustle means more time to drink. Been trying to taste all the fun stuff out there. This one is light, noticeably dry, highly floral, rather refreshing, a bit feisty like the label.

What an honor to be a part of this lineup with @jolielaidewines and @donkeyandgoat @keepwines among others. 2015 was just our third vintage as well as an incredibly challenging year in Sonoma, which makes this even sweeter.

🚨 ***NEW WINE ALERT*** We are very excited about our latest domestic addition to our portfolio. Matthiasson’s protégées Matt Nagy and Ben Brenner spread their wings with their first solo project. With Steve as a mentor and friend they have connections to some of California's most iconic vineyards making it a cinch for cellar practices to be thoughtful and hands off- hence the name Benevolent Neglect.
Minimal intervention is the best way to describe their winemaking style. The idea of the winemaker is to be the reliable translator - to take what was made in the vineyard from sun, water, and soil and let it become the finest wine that it can be.

Swipe to see our faces when we saw the boxes, the (cutest) cork and after we took a sip of it. The inspiration for the label is Amore Saunders.

Winery Appreciation Wednesday goes to Azienda Agricola Mustilli!
The Mustilli family has been producing wine in Sant'Agata dei Goti, a sub-region of Sannio in Campania, since the 14th century. It is the only producer in this DOC. Indigenous varieties are farmed with organic practices and intervention in the cellar is minimal. The sisters, Paola and Anna Chiara are the 5th generation and now at the helm. They cherish their older vines and calcerous/volcanic soils that impart a high level of expressiveness in their wines. Did you know that Mustilli was the first to bottle Falanghina on its own? Wines from Campania are not on the tip of anyone's tongue but those curious enough to try them will be quick to discover the delicious factor + incredible value.

We are so excited because one of our newest wines is finally on order and on its way! Our newest partners at Cantina Viticoltori Senesi Aretini are just as excited as we are to get you to try this wine, we won't ruin the surprise but we will tell you this; it's a red wine in a liter bottle made with organic grapes and there's a cat involved 😼

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍽🍁 There’s so much to be grateful for, our awesome team, our amazing partners and of course our lovely customers and supporters.
Here’s a pic of our boss lady being a boss in the kitchen 👸🏻 #thanksgivingdinner #thankful
Our T-day picks! 🦃 🍷
Orbis Moderandi- anytime is a good time for Pet Nat, so we will take any excuse to pop one (or 3) of these. Sour and a bit of funk these natural bubbles will get you festivities off to a fresh, playful start.
Le Temps Infini- or as we call it LTI. Because nothing says celebration like 3L of wine! Being French rather than the Argentine version. It’s perfectly light in body with just the right amount of juiciness. This will stand up to a long day of eating.
Oracle Cellars- the most American of all grape varieties. Zinfandel! For those of you feeling like you want to keep things “local”. Red berry bramble with easy going tannins, this is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

The Mercato dei Vini dei Federazione di Vignaoli Indipendenti in Piacenza was awesome. A room full of amazing wines and a surprise bonus meeting Paola!
Wine2Wine, a B2B conference that's part of Vinitaly was a great success. A stellar line up of speakers which included @amys_wines and Melissa. Overall, great content and a great group of people.
The guy grating the 40yo Parmesan is Andrea Lonardi, winemaker at Bertani. He was an amazing host. He even made his own pasta and opened a '75 for them!
We are glad Melissa is having fun in Italy 🇮🇹 😊and just a tad bit jealous 😅
#italy #wine2wine #pasta #parmesancheese #workisfun #winepresentation #winespeaker #allaboutwine
@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

While most of us have gained a couple of lbs during quarantine and did not hop on the banana bread bandwagon, Harry became an artist 👩🎨
He calls himself Jr. Ross it’s pretty fitting.
The Saunders are quite talented!

Stealing this pic from @ericasimov because this wine just hit our warehouse and I haven’t had a chance to do a photoshoot with it!
Super excited to be working with @domainegiachino and once you guys get a taste you will be as happy as we are 😁

It’s going to be 94° (34°C) this weekend in NY 🥵 so my weekend plans are to take a trip to Cali (via my couch) blast the AC, open up these bottles and binge whatever Netflix has to offer these days.

The downside of working from home, not being able to see you favorite coworker. Yes she would try and steal some of my lunch sometimes and definitely spent more time napping than working but I still miss her!

Sunsets at Domaine Jacky Marteau with a view of the Sauvignon Blanc vineyards.
Fun fact: the label was inspired by Luisa Saunders (aka Lulu- Melissa’s daughter). Lulu happens to share her nickname with the export manager at Jacky Marteau...our partnership was meant to be!

Introducing our newest addition to the portfolio: Azienda Agricola Chiesa Carlo 🍷
Fifth generation winemakers making organic wines with low intervention. The soil in Roero has a very high sand content, the wines are defined by a high level of perfume and elegance. Authenticity of the territory is their pursuit. They have always been a working farm, producing everything that they need themselves. Completely self sustaining. Not a bad model in these crazy times.
We hope you like them as much as we do!

*NEW WINE ALERT*🚨 Let us introduce you to Das Orange 🍊
Fruit from older vines located in Weilerer Herrenzehntel, this baby is unmistakably Riesling with a twist. Highly aromatic. Think: freshly cut May flowers.
A 15 day post-fermentation maceration adds depth and texture. The last impression is dry, savory, and with a distinct note of orange blossom. For reals. Oh so poundable even as a Liter!

Melissa’s kids somehow always convince her to get more pets. This is Lucky, Harry’s spirit animal.

Wednesday calls for some Benevolent Neglect! The label seems to pair well with these daffodils 🌼
BN Ribolla. An intriguing wine. Citrus, cider, nuts, profoundly textured, hazy, hard to pin down.
Check it out. Try to figure it out. Dare you.

This bottle was interesting. Day 1 it was a little on the slutty-side. Left it alone. Checked-in on Day 3 and it was actually brighter and with more definition. Classier. Lovely to the finish actually. Whoops! Some of the art on the label compliments of Harry.
Fun Fact: Harry and Lulu actually want to design a wine label for us one day.

Shoutout to all the parents who are working from home, doubling as teachers during this quarantine.
Melissa somehow manages to: •Run a company •Work on her MW research paper •Homeschool her kids •Bake with her kids
•Be a pet mom
When does she fit in sleep?! #quarantinelife #homeschoolmom #homeschooling #workingfromhome #workingmomlife #communalbrands #communalbrandswine #momlife #socialdistancing2020
Less hustle bustle means more time to drink. Been trying to taste all the fun stuff out there. This one is light, noticeably dry, highly floral, rather refreshing, a bit feisty like the label.

What an honor to be a part of this lineup with @jolielaidewines and @donkeyandgoat @keepwines among others. 2015 was just our third vintage as well as an incredibly challenging year in Sonoma, which makes this even sweeter.

🚨 ***NEW WINE ALERT*** We are very excited about our latest domestic addition to our portfolio. Matthiasson’s protégées Matt Nagy and Ben Brenner spread their wings with their first solo project. With Steve as a mentor and friend they have connections to some of California's most iconic vineyards making it a cinch for cellar practices to be thoughtful and hands off- hence the name Benevolent Neglect.
Minimal intervention is the best way to describe their winemaking style. The idea of the winemaker is to be the reliable translator - to take what was made in the vineyard from sun, water, and soil and let it become the finest wine that it can be.

IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!! Gatto Grosso has finally arrived and we are beyond excited for you guys to try this. This baby is 1L of deliciousness that you don’t want to miss.
Swipe to see our faces when we saw the boxes, the (cutest) cork and after we took a sip of it. The inspiration for the label is Amore Saunders. The feisty resident at the Saunders household who during the day likes to play with Aggy and at night she likes to knocks things off the table and wake Melissa up 😼

Winery Appreciation Wednesday goes to Azienda Agricola Mustilli!
The Mustilli family has been producing wine in Sant'Agata dei Goti, a sub-region of Sannio in Campania, since the 14th century. It is the only producer in this DOC. Indigenous varieties are farmed with organic practices and intervention in the cellar is minimal. The sisters, Paola and Anna Chiara are the 5th generation and now at the helm. They cherish their older vines and calcerous/volcanic soils that impart a high level of expressiveness in their wines. Did you know that Mustilli was the first to bottle Falanghina on its own? Wines from Campania are not on the tip of anyone's tongue but those curious enough to try them will be quick to discover the delicious factor + incredible value.

We are so excited because one of our newest wines is finally on order and on its way! Our newest partners at Cantina Viticoltori Senesi Aretini are just as excited as we are to get you to try this wine, we won't ruin the surprise but we will tell you this; it's a red wine in a liter bottle made with organic grapes and there's a cat involved 😼

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍽🍁 There’s so much to be grateful for, our awesome team, our amazing partners and of course our lovely customers and supporters.
Here’s a pic of our boss lady being a boss in the kitchen 👸🏻 #thanksgivingdinner #thankful
Our T-day picks! 🦃 🍷
Orbis Moderandi- anytime is a good time for Pet Nat, so we will take any excuse to pop one (or 3) of these. Sour and a bit of funk these natural bubbles will get you festivities off to a fresh, playful start.
Le Temps Infini- or as we call it LTI. Because nothing says celebration like 3L of wine! Being French rather than the Argentine version. It’s perfectly light in body with just the right amount of juiciness. This will stand up to a long day of eating.
Oracle Cellars- the most American of all grape varieties. Zinfandel! For those of you feeling like you want to keep things “local”. Red berry bramble with easy going tannins, this is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

The Mercato dei Vini dei Federazione di Vignaoli Indipendenti in Piacenza was awesome. A room full of amazing wines and a surprise bonus meeting Paola!
Wine2Wine, a B2B conference that's part of Vinitaly was a great success. A stellar line up of speakers which included @amys_wines and Melissa. Overall, great content and a great group of people.
The guy grating the 40yo Parmesan is Andrea Lonardi, winemaker at Bertani. He was an amazing host. He even made his own pasta and opened a '75 for them!
We are glad Melissa is having fun in Italy 🇮🇹 😊and just a tad bit jealous 😅
#italy #wine2wine #pasta #parmesancheese #workisfun #winepresentation #winespeaker #allaboutwine
@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
