Peter Gierszewski and his wife Celine. His soils. And Melissa got a chance to taste his 21s out of barrel and his new amphora!!! The vintage is killer, and defined by elegance and incredible vibrancy. We are so lucky to have stock of his wines, which are highly coveted and sold out everywhere else in the world!!! This is one of the rare benefits of supply chain delays. . .The wine sold out while our stock was in transit forever!!?? Get it while you can!

Thankful for our families, friends, partners, boss lady and amazing team!
Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving with lots of good wine 🍷

When I’m France, you must attempt to run a marathon with a injured leg I guess?! Turned out to be more like a party!
The pressure is off, lesson learned (I hope!) for our boss lady, don’t overtrain next time! @melissamontisaunders ended up walking most of it because if you know her, you know she wasn’t going to give up until she absolutely had to!

Busy with her “royal” duties! 👸🏻
An epic tasting at Dujac, and graciously conducted by Alec. Ended with '96 Bonnes Mares 🔥
Tasting Beaujolais Nouveau in Beaujolais on its release day was kind of a trip! 😎
Team Herisson at Domaine Rochebin followed by Bib quality control with Pascal at PG2. We are super on it!!!
The ability to meet our partners in person again is such a gift.

Melissa is letting us know her trip in CO is going well with @cts_distributing
She spent some time at this great shop in Evergreen, Colorado. Piney Wine & Spirits. And a highlight was Brisket!!! 🐶 😍 He is super excited that we're pushing eco-friendly packaging. He's into that stuff. His owner Nate was also pretty cool.
If you’re ever in Evergreen Colorado, Brisket would appreciate the visit!

Our new Champagne Moutard to start the week right!
One of the oldest Cuvée from Moutard family. Classic style from a classic producer. Chardonnay in the blend is rare for the Aubrey and adds balance and freshness. So we suggest you give this one a try, it can easily become your house fave 😜

It’s Tuesday, are you feeling a little Pinot Grouchio like us?
Sometimes we just need to go back to the basics, have some Pinot Grigio or as the Alscaciens say Pinot Gris. Make it a Grand Cru to feel extra fancy 💁♀️💁♂️

And more new wines!
Starting the week right with a classic: Chablis
Domaine Vrignaud is located in Fontenay-prés-Chablis and it’s considered an important wine family with its roots deeply buried in Chablis.
The series “George’s Deschamps” is named after Guillaume Vrignaud (the wine maker’s) great grandfather.

ANOTHER Organe wine? Yes, yes it is 🍊
The Das family has grown! And we now have Das Bronze (Orange Pinot Gris) and Das Roxy (Dornfelder/Regent). All come in 1L bottle and all practicing organic/sustainable.
Oh and the new vintages of Das Trocken and Das Orange are back in stock 😁
Make sure you get a taste before we sell out!

First up! Our new Mâcon producer:
Domaine de Thalie/ Peter Gierszewski
We are super excited about working with these. Peter established his small 5 hectare estate in 2019. He started from scratch, purchasing old vines and converting an old farmhouse into a cellar and home.
What you’ll like about these wines: mouthwatering acidity, natural style, mineral complexity, elegance and of course price point! We always want you to feel like you’re getting a bang for your buck! 🙌🏼

After waiting for what feels like forever, new wines are finally starting to arrive! 🍷
Let us introduce you to your new favorite Bordeaux! Paul Barre has been known for several decades as a pioneer of biodynamic principals in France. Located in Fronsac, they’ve been farming this way since 1990 (before it became cool!)

Earth Day 🌎 🌱 is a prompt to pay attention but we should be considering the impact on the planet everyday. Box wine is the packaging for wine with the lowest carbon footprint. For everyday wines, is making the shift from glass really that hard? Come on. Look at how cute that hedgehog is?!! 🦔 😍

One of our best kept secrets 🤫
This fizzy pét-nat is light-bodied and fresh with a fruit and mineral character. It is serious yet so incredibly light and refreshing, and makes for a sunnier day, even after 4pm when the sun is nowhere to be found.

We are thankful for the beauty and wonders of nature that can be enjoyed and appreciated under any circumstances. Even holidays in a global pandemic. We are also thankful for great wine to be enjoyed with company (whomever is lucky enough to be in your bubble). These babies will be on our table tomorrow. Thank you to the producers that made them! And no domestic is intentional. Let's take some long overdue trips through these bottles! Let's just be grateful no matter what because it feels good. ❤️🙏

Our partners over at Olabarri sent us these pics. Thier historic winery was chosen among 4900 others in Spain as a nearly zero-energy building. Vina Olabarri is a model for what is being referred to as "Cowinergy", a project that aims to promote low energy consumption buildings as another effort toward maximizing sustainability.

Communal pays tribute to Mike Weersing. Mike mastered the art of producing wines that truly express the unique character of the soils on which the vines are grown. He was an charismatic, inspiring biodynamic grower that established a breathtaking vineyard in Waikari, North Canterbury, NZ. He was all heart and you could taste this in everyone of his wines. Pyramid Valley is a magical place. A place to appreciate and feel gratitude for the wild wonders of our Mother Earth. Mike understood the virtues of nature and masterfully translated these virtues into wines that epitomize the notion of 'expressiveness'. He was a legend. We will miss him very much.

We started off with Mezcal but had to give our liver a break...what a week!
Did you guys figure out what your victory bottle is gonna be yet?
#merlot #aligote #🤦🏻♀️ #itsbeenalongweek #electionweek2020 #wine #communalbrands #communalbrandswine #frenchwine #winesoffrance #redwine #whitewine #moodwine #relatablelabel
Bringing out the big guns for tonight, to take the edge off...
This bottle caught my eye because of its name Wahaka which is the same pronunciation as Oaxaca the southern state in Mexico where most mezcal comes from.
Para todo mal, mezcal, y para todo bien, también.
For everything bad, mezcal and for everything good, as well.

Today’s weather calls for some hot chocolate OR some Cremant d’Alsace! Choose wisely 😉

Peter Gierszewski and his wife Celine. His soils. And Melissa got a chance to taste his 21s out of barrel and his new amphora!!! The vintage is killer, and defined by elegance and incredible vibrancy. We are so lucky to have stock of his wines, which are highly coveted and sold out everywhere else in the world!!! This is one of the rare benefits of supply chain delays. . .The wine sold out while our stock was in transit forever!!?? Get it while you can!

When I’m France, you must attempt to run a marathon with a injured leg I guess?! Turned out to be more like a party!
The pressure is off, lesson learned (I hope!) for our boss lady, don’t overtrain next time! @melissamontisaunders ended up walking most of it because if you know her, you know she wasn’t going to give up until she absolutely had to!

Busy with her “royal” duties! 👸🏻
An epic tasting at Dujac, and graciously conducted by Alec. Ended with '96 Bonnes Mares 🔥
Tasting Beaujolais Nouveau in Beaujolais on its release day was kind of a trip! 😎
Team Herisson at Domaine Rochebin followed by Bib quality control with Pascal at PG2. We are super on it!!!
The ability to meet our partners in person again is such a gift.

She spent some time at this great shop in Evergreen, Colorado. Piney Wine & Spirits. And a highlight was Brisket!!! 🐶 😍 He is super excited that we're pushing eco-friendly packaging. He's into that stuff. His owner Nate was also pretty cool.
If you’re ever in Evergreen Colorado, Brisket would appreciate the visit!

Our new Champagne Moutard to start the week right!
One of the oldest Cuvée from Moutard family. Classic style from a classic producer. Chardonnay in the blend is rare for the Aubrey and adds balance and freshness. So we suggest you give this one a try, it can easily become your house fave 😜

It’s Tuesday, are you feeling a little Pinot Grouchio like us?
Sometimes we just need to go back to the basics, have some Pinot Grigio or as the Alscaciens say Pinot Gris. Make it a Grand Cru to feel extra fancy 💁♀️💁♂️

And more new wines!
Starting the week right with a classic: Chablis
Domaine Vrignaud is located in Fontenay-prés-Chablis and it’s considered an important wine family with its roots deeply buried in Chablis.
The series “George’s Deschamps” is named after Guillaume Vrignaud (the wine maker’s) great grandfather.

ANOTHER Organe wine? Yes, yes it is 🍊
The Das family has grown! And we now have Das Bronze (Orange Pinot Gris) and Das Roxy (Dornfelder/Regent). All come in 1L bottle and all practicing organic/sustainable.
Oh and the new vintages of Das Trocken and Das Orange are back in stock 😁
Make sure you get a taste before we sell out!

First up! Our new Mâcon producer:
Domaine de Thalie/ Peter Gierszewski
We are super excited about working with these. Peter established his small 5 hectare estate in 2019. He started from scratch, purchasing old vines and converting an old farmhouse into a cellar and home.
What you’ll like about these wines: mouthwatering acidity, natural style, mineral complexity, elegance and of course price point! We always want you to feel like you’re getting a bang for your buck! 🙌🏼

Earth Day 🌎 🌱 is a prompt to pay attention but we should be considering the impact on the planet everyday. Box wine is the packaging for wine with the lowest carbon footprint. For everyday wines, is making the shift from glass really that hard? Come on. Look at how cute that hedgehog is?!! 🦔 😍

This fizzy pét-nat is light-bodied and fresh with a fruit and mineral character. It is serious yet so incredibly light and refreshing, and makes for a sunnier day, even after 4pm when the sun is nowhere to be found.

Our partners over at Olabarri sent us these pics. Thier historic winery was chosen among 4900 others in Spain as a nearly zero-energy building. Vina Olabarri is a model for what is being referred to as "Cowinergy", a project that aims to promote low energy consumption buildings as another effort toward maximizing sustainability.

Communal pays tribute to Mike Weersing. Mike mastered the art of producing wines that truly express the unique character of the soils on which the vines are grown. He was an charismatic, inspiring biodynamic grower that established a breathtaking vineyard in Waikari, North Canterbury, NZ. He was all heart and you could taste this in everyone of his wines. Pyramid Valley is a magical place. A place to appreciate and feel gratitude for the wild wonders of our Mother Earth. Mike understood the virtues of nature and masterfully translated these virtues into wines that epitomize the notion of 'expressiveness'. He was a legend. We will miss him very much.

We started off with Mezcal but had to give our liver a break...what a week!

Bringing out the big guns for tonight, to take the edge off...
This bottle caught my eye because of its name Wahaka which is the same pronunciation as Oaxaca the southern state in Mexico where most mezcal comes from.
Para todo mal, mezcal, y para todo bien, también.
For everything bad, mezcal and for everything good, as well.

Today’s weather calls for some hot chocolate OR some Cremant d’Alsace! Choose wisely 😉
