Let’s get more practical people!!! Shouldn’t we be willing to make behavioral shifts to reduce emissions for the health and longevity of our planet despite nostalgia for tradition??? We can do this. 💪💪💪

Light Of My Life, Fire Of My…
Domaine Moutard-Diligent
Qu`est-ce que c`est Aligoté
Bourgone Aligoté 2021
AOC Bourgone
Sustainable, as hands off as possible, unfiltered,
Molosmes, Burgundy, France
Winemaker: François Moutard & family
Light hazy gold. Breathing in tangerine rind & a light citrus flair, then honeysuckle & orange blossoms waft through with pears, slate and a shake of salt. The taste is same as the scents and even more expressive and somewhat luscious, but with a touch more citrus(maybe tangelo). It’s clean, fresh and happy easy drinking. Oh and check out the quote from the back of the bottle. "Aligoté, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Ah-lee-go-tay… Sound familiar 😏
Pairs with Cheez-It’s: funky but good
Domaine Moutard-Diligent is built of not only passing from parent to child through the generations. The current generations are also working together with their cousins and each member has a gift from their experiences, educations, and passions. Some contribute their wine/farming knowledge, others have organization & business skills, having a head for numbers, promotion, marketing, branding, and the open mind to travel, learn and spread their brand to the world. As François says on their site, “We play off each other and the advantage of being a family, that is what makes us trust each other, each person in their own skilled role”. What a wonderful family to be a part of where everyone works together to form a smooth running machine filled with creativity, love, and distinguished wine, champagne & spirits. Oh yes, they make an assortment from whisky, marc, gin, etc. and the one that I want to get my hands on is their 100% Champenoise Vodka. So if any of you can point me where I might find one, please, please let me know! 🍸

Love a holiday party, which is the ideal opportunity to promote high quality box wine. In person, I can promote its environmental charms and the quality of the wine speaks for itself. Low emissions, a large format for those large groups, and way less packaging waste, which results in a lighter trash load at the end of the night.💪
*******************************
The holidays are also the perfect excuse to hang with family.

Cheers to holiday, family, and box wine opportunities!!!

🔊 Das EFX 🔊
— these glow sticks from Weingut Edelberg are some dead serious glou glou. the product of a pair of brothers, one of which began his career under Riesling royalty at Weingut Keller, these péts from the Nahe region in the south of Germany shine as bright on the palate as they do in that late afternoon summer sunshine. It’z lik dat!

Orbis Moderandi – NZ Pét-Nats from OCD!
The Sauv Blanc pétillant naturel turns all the flavor notes up to 11. It’s about as grapefruit in flavor as you can be without being a Paloma—actually, this is an excellent (& low ABV) beverage for cocktail lovers! It is balanced with the same minerality that the rest of Melissa Saunder’s wines are known for, with a nuanced sweetness and lovely effervescence. ☀️Close your eyes and you can feel the sun on your face and smell the sun baking the clay. You forgot your sunglasses but who cares, you’re drinking wine.☀️
The Red Nat is made from Pinot Noir grapes that macerate on the skins to enhance and enrich the wine’s color. Once opened, it is juicy and lively on the tongue. Immediately our imagination takes us to the smell of fresh, mineral rain hitting an already muddy field. Pour a glass, let it open for 15 minutes, sip the delicious complexity (cherry, blackberry, thyme, coffee, NZ earth, etc.), and repeat.
Both Orbis Moderandi pét-nats are made without SO2 additions. They are produced by Hunter’s Estate, one of the oldest and very best producers in Marlborough, Waihopai Valley.

Thanks @thrillist — Read the article in my link in bio.
“My entire career is built around selling really high-end, fine wine from all over the world, and I am trying to make a boxed wine for those people - for drinkers like me, or aspirational drinkers who just want to put something better in their bodies.”

Myth #4 (explained) → it’s not economic for recyclers to recycle glass.
2 reasons why:
1. we are a single-stream recycling system (everything goes in the same bin)
2. glass can contaminate their recycling stream
I encourage you to try some boxed wine, please, because once it’s in the glass - does it even matter?

O T T O’ S C O N S T A N T D R E A M
Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
The story behind this wine is that the name, OCD, was inspired by Melissa Saunder’s obsessive way about wine. Apparently her friend whom is now a business partner created the wine in her honor. Now, I am not sure if this is totally accurate, but, if it is, I love it even more! If you know more please share in comments!
The grapes are estate grown in a sustainable way on alluvial soils with high gravel and clay content.
Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel with a small but in French Oak. Fermentation is for 3 weeks, the wine rests on lees for around 6 weeks. It is lightly fined and filtered.
The wine is more in an old world style rather than what you usually find in Marlborough, which was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend it on a rainy summers day, like today in Indy. I am pairing it with homemade egg drop soup, sounds weird but trust me it really is a lovely combo!
Don’t forget to scroll to the second photo to see the label, which I totally adore! Check out my blog post about this wine and the story behind it, link in bio.

Don’t open your Pet Nats in the living room! You’ve been warned ⚠️. These wines want to jump out of the bottle!
Red Nat from Orbis Moderandi is 100% Pinot Noir. Sustainably grown in the Waihopai Valley of Marlborough, New Zealand. Natty bubbles. No filter. Fresh Pinot Noir fruit! A little chunky but not funky. Really cool!😎

Packaging. It may not be as `glam` as other facets of the business but its environmental impact is hugely important! Bag-in-box is an easy and powerful way to have a positive impact. Now. And with the glass shortage. . .

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!

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 💁♀️💁♂️

Light Of My Life, Fire Of My…
Domaine Moutard-Diligent
Qu`est-ce que c`est Aligoté
Bourgone Aligoté 2021
AOC Bourgone
Sustainable, as hands off as possible, unfiltered,
Molosmes, Burgundy, France
Winemaker: François Moutard & family
Light hazy gold. Breathing in tangerine rind & a light citrus flair, then honeysuckle & orange blossoms waft through with pears, slate and a shake of salt. The taste is same as the scents and even more expressive and somewhat luscious, but with a touch more citrus(maybe tangelo). It’s clean, fresh and happy easy drinking. Oh and check out the quote from the back of the bottle. "Aligoté, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Ah-lee-go-tay… Sound familiar 😏
Pairs with Cheez-It’s: funky but good
Domaine Moutard-Diligent is built of not only passing from parent to child through the generations. The current generations are also working together with their cousins and each member has a gift from their experiences, educations, and passions. Some contribute their wine/farming knowledge, others have organization & business skills, having a head for numbers, promotion, marketing, branding, and the open mind to travel, learn and spread their brand to the world. As François says on their site, “We play off each other and the advantage of being a family, that is what makes us trust each other, each person in their own skilled role”. What a wonderful family to be a part of where everyone works together to form a smooth running machine filled with creativity, love, and distinguished wine, champagne & spirits. Oh yes, they make an assortment from whisky, marc, gin, etc. and the one that I want to get my hands on is their 100% Champenoise Vodka. So if any of you can point me where I might find one, please, please let me know! 🍸

Love a holiday party, which is the ideal opportunity to promote high quality box wine. In person, I can promote its environmental charms and the quality of the wine speaks for itself. Low emissions, a large format for those large groups, and way less packaging waste, which results in a lighter trash load at the end of the night.💪
*******************************
The holidays are also the perfect excuse to hang with family.

Cheers to holiday, family, and box wine opportunities!!!

🔊 Das EFX 🔊
— these glow sticks from Weingut Edelberg are some dead serious glou glou. the product of a pair of brothers, one of which began his career under Riesling royalty at Weingut Keller, these péts from the Nahe region in the south of Germany shine as bright on the palate as they do in that late afternoon summer sunshine. It’z lik dat!

Orbis Moderandi – NZ Pét-Nats from OCD!
The Sauv Blanc pétillant naturel turns all the flavor notes up to 11. It’s about as grapefruit in flavor as you can be without being a Paloma—actually, this is an excellent (& low ABV) beverage for cocktail lovers! It is balanced with the same minerality that the rest of Melissa Saunder’s wines are known for, with a nuanced sweetness and lovely effervescence. ☀️Close your eyes and you can feel the sun on your face and smell the sun baking the clay. You forgot your sunglasses but who cares, you’re drinking wine.☀️
The Red Nat is made from Pinot Noir grapes that macerate on the skins to enhance and enrich the wine’s color. Once opened, it is juicy and lively on the tongue. Immediately our imagination takes us to the smell of fresh, mineral rain hitting an already muddy field. Pour a glass, let it open for 15 minutes, sip the delicious complexity (cherry, blackberry, thyme, coffee, NZ earth, etc.), and repeat.
Both Orbis Moderandi pét-nats are made without SO2 additions. They are produced by Hunter’s Estate, one of the oldest and very best producers in Marlborough, Waihopai Valley.

Thanks @thrillist — Read the article in my link in bio.
“My entire career is built around selling really high-end, fine wine from all over the world, and I am trying to make a boxed wine for those people - for drinkers like me, or aspirational drinkers who just want to put something better in their bodies.”

Myth #4 (explained) → it’s not economic for recyclers to recycle glass.
2 reasons why:
1. we are a single-stream recycling system (everything goes in the same bin)
2. glass can contaminate their recycling stream
I encourage you to try some boxed wine, please, because once it’s in the glass - does it even matter?

O T T O’ S C O N S T A N T D R E A M
Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
The story behind this wine is that the name, OCD, was inspired by Melissa Saunder’s obsessive way about wine. Apparently her friend whom is now a business partner created the wine in her honor. Now, I am not sure if this is totally accurate, but, if it is, I love it even more! If you know more please share in comments!
The grapes are estate grown in a sustainable way on alluvial soils with high gravel and clay content.
Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel with a small but in French Oak. Fermentation is for 3 weeks, the wine rests on lees for around 6 weeks. It is lightly fined and filtered.
The wine is more in an old world style rather than what you usually find in Marlborough, which was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend it on a rainy summers day, like today in Indy. I am pairing it with homemade egg drop soup, sounds weird but trust me it really is a lovely combo!
Don’t forget to scroll to the second photo to see the label, which I totally adore! Check out my blog post about this wine and the story behind it, link in bio.

Don’t open your Pet Nats in the living room! You’ve been warned ⚠️. These wines want to jump out of the bottle!
Red Nat from Orbis Moderandi is 100% Pinot Noir. Sustainably grown in the Waihopai Valley of Marlborough, New Zealand. Natty bubbles. No filter. Fresh Pinot Noir fruit! A little chunky but not funky. Really cool!😎

— hand harvested, single block, ten day macerated, Waihopai Valley Pinot Noir pét nat. the second Orbis Moderandi sparkler from Communal Brands is a dark cherry, red plum, and raspberry juice bomb. the perfect pétty crusher for the cooler seasons. grab it when you see it or miss the rage.

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.

F*ckin FINALLY!!!!
Orbis Moderandi Pet Nat Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is here!
Of course we had to open it and taste to make sure it was good to go, a hard job but someone’s gotta do it 😜 and yes that’s solo cups in the background because we are still unpacking 😅

So long, goodbye LIC! You’ve been good to us for the past 10+ years, you’ve seen CB grow and get bigger each year but its time to move on…
Let’s hope Otto likes the new spot in FiDi 🤩

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 💁♀️💁♂️
