      <image:title>Newsletter - Cantina Cantina - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>But it was at our first meeting that they mentioned a little project just 20 minutes from Aosta. In the small community of the Canvenese, Cantina Cantina (who demurred on any notion of being mentioned by name) the team bought grapes from old vineyards of Barbera, Freisa, Bonarda, Neretto, Erbaluce, and some other Piedmontese varieties to make one white and one red under their banner. They had an unmarked bottle of the red bled in a liter bottle that I sipped for 2 days out in Orient, near the brewery. Of course it was completely fantastic, and was an expression of a part of the wine world I've known for many years, but with a fresh and transparent outlook we look for in all our wines, wherever they come from. For us and Cantina Cantina, we hope that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, as they are casting their net very wine. They are talking to grape growers around the world, and even some friends of ours in Anjou ; ) "Think of a kind of Brutal labeling, but just a bit more hands on." Is what they told us. Sounds good to us. When good grapes are in good hands, we are happy. Cheers to our dear friends. Much fun to be had.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>AOP Entraygues e Le Fel “Prima Vera” 2020 (Fer Servadou/Cab Franc) Very short maceration (primeur-style) of these two cousin varieties. This is a garden wine to cool you off with some crunchy red fruit all summer long. We got as much as we can, so definitely something you can work with for a longer stretch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>AOP Entraygues e Le Fel “De toute façon le vent Souffle” 2019 (Fer Servadou/Cab Franc/Negret de Banhars) Anyway the wind blows. Pretty, no? So is the wine. Whole clusters are placed in a vat, then trampled by foot. It macerates for 10 days, then slowly pressed to finish fermentation in cuve. After that? 12 months in demi-muid. One of her best, most realized cuvees yet.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Next, we head down to the Rhone Valley where two childhood lovers make some of my favorite wine. Again, a lot of wines, all of which with completely different personalities. In today's drop we have the "Pompette" series, all from a vineyard called the tile. It's a big square of clay and limestone, all on original, Caladoc rootstock. There's a lot of varieties growing here that make a rosé, a red and a white. Like the wines that landed a few weeks ago, these always punch above their price, and are always super solid. This is one of the few producers we have any kind of stock with, so pick some up early for something you can work with for a little while. That said, the white runs pretty fast.

      <image:caption>Last but not least, we have a brand new wine from Fifi's Bascule project, and you guessed it, it's orange! Yay! It's a maceration of Grenache Gris and Blanc done à la "Que Pasa" at domaine Leonine. The very sexy label courtesy of my dear friend Sophie Robson. In addition, we've got the new vintage of Babushka Rosé here at long last. This is another "Que Pasa" inspired wine, only this year there's about 40% Carignan in the blend. Delicious! The label here is from Fifi's daugher, Maya. Aww.

      <image:caption>The apples are bought in Normandy and sent to Auvergne in big bags. The apples come from an orchard without treatment and eco-grazed by sheep. Once arrived in Auvergne, they are pressed and after a few days of waiting and the creation of the hat, the fermentation starts on its own. I check this fermentation regularly to obtain a cider with great aromatic finesse. Bottling is done at a low density. Fermentation continues in the bottle to create the foam.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>AOC “Bungertal” 2019 VARIETY : Gewürztraminer TERROIR : Bungertal is situated in Nothalten where the terroir is gifted with volcanic sandstone soil.

      <image:caption>AOP Luxembourg “Cabernet Blanc” 2020 VARIETY :  Cabernet Blanc TERROIR : The first hybrid variety to be in planted in Luxembourg and at the Kox domain in 2010 was the Cabernet Blanc, a variety resulting from a complex crossbreeding containing resilience capacities with Cab Sauv, Silvaner, Riesling and Chancellor. Since then, three vineyards have been planted with this new variety. No herbicides or pesticides, only natural treatments administered by a drone. (Over the last twenty years, a Swiss grape breeder, Valentin Blattner, has created new varieties which need less or no treatment at all against these fungal diseases. In order to do so, he crosses a variety of Vitis vinifera known for being flavourful, with wild varieties often less productive or yielding a wine of mediocre quality but resilient against vineyard diseases. After a long period of observation and selection, this crossbreeding results in new hybrid varieties with strong resilience characteristics while at the same time yielding a wine with a good tasting quality. Known by the name of "PIWI" (PIlzWIderstandsfähig = fungus resistant).) HARVEST : hand picked VINIFICATION : Sans sulfites. Fermented and aged in stainless.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A white wine from the Palomino grape, produced from 100-year-old, own rooted, unirrigated bush vines in Fontana California. Grapes farmed by Agustine Olvera and crew. Wine raised by Herrmann York. The soil is sandy loam of granite alluvium from the south side of the San Gabriel Mountain range. The fruit was quickly foot tread, then immediately bucketed into the press. It spontaneously fermented in old French oak barrels and was dry in about one month. The wine aged for 10 months in old French oak on lees. 22 cases produced. Lopez Ranch is planted in the Cucamonga Valley at an elevation of 1200 feet. Once a part of the Rancho San Bernardino, the property is now owned by a multi-national holding company and leased by the Galleano family, who carries out the farming and harvesting of the vines. Every year, warehouses and housing tracts close in on it from all directions. One day, and perhaps soon, it will be gone.</image:caption>
