2024 Anne Amie Vineyards Estate Müller-Thurgau
Grape - 100% Müller-Thurgau
Origin - Willamette Valley, Oregon
Producer -  Anne Amie Vineyards
Farming - Sustainable 
 
The 2024 Anne Amie Vineyards Estate Müller-Thurgau is a fresh, vibrant expression of a grape that holds a special place in Oregon wine history. Sourced from estate vines planted in 1979 in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, this bottling highlights how beautifully Müller-Thurgau performs in the Willamette Valley’s cool climate and marine sedimentary soils. Aromas of citrus blossom, honeysuckle, and ripe pear lift from the glass, followed by flavors of orange zest, subtle stone fruit, and a touch of soft spice. Bright acidity keeps the wine lively and crisp, while a gentle, mineral finish adds elegance and balance. Refreshing yet nuanced, this is an ideal wine for sipping and a versatile food partner—equally at home alongside seafood, fresh salads, lightly spiced dishes, or enjoyed on its own as an easygoing but distinctive white.
 
 
'Meme' Chianti Superiore
Grapes - 100% Sangiovese
Origin - Montelupo Fiorentino, Chianti, Italy
Producer - Fattoria di Petrognano
Farming - Organic
 
The historic estate of Fattoria di Petrognano produces lovely Chianti along with other varietals just north of the Classico region in Montelupo Fiorentino. Organic practices are carried out in both the vineyard and cellar under the watchful eye of proprietor Emanuelle Pellegrini, allowing for the best natural expressions of the grapes to shine through. Petrognano’s classic Chianti ‘Meme’ is the flagship wine of the estate, a wine strongly linked toits territory and to family. ‘Meme’ is dedicated to Emanuele’s grandfather who purchased the estate in 1962 and began reworking and reviving the land. Continuing where his grandfather left off, he improved all areas of the vineyards and cellar and converted all methods to organic practices.  
The Fattoria di Petrognano 'Meme' Chianti Superiore is a vibrant expression of classic Tuscan winemaking, balancing tradition with a playful character hinted at by its name. 
The grapes come from several plots whose medium-textured clay soils contribute to giving the wine a rich tannic texture in the mouth. The vinification takes place in stainless steel containers and the refinement, in steel and cement, is at least 8 months, with subsequent refinement in the bottle. 
Deep ruby in color, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe red cherries, dried herbs and subtle floral notes, complemented by a touch of sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet structured, offering flavors of bright red fruit, earthy undertones, and a smooth, lingering finish with gentle tannins. Its lively acidity and approachable style make it versatile at the table, pairing beautifully with roasted meats, hearty pasta dishes, or aged cheeses. 'Meme' embodies the warmth and charm of Chianti while maintaining an elegant, modern appeal.
 
 
La Cuadrilla 2023
Grapes - 50% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 15% Sangiovese
Origin - Ballard Canyon, California
Producer -  Stolpmen Vineyards
Farming - Sustainable
 
When Tom Stolpman purchased the land that is now Stolpman Vineyards, he declared that if his dream of owning a vineyard was to come true, it would positively affect everyone involved.  He asked vineyard manager, Ruben Solorzano to employ vineyard workers year-round, so the team members could have a steady job, a career and raise their families locally and with security.
Ruben Solorzano took Tom’s idea a step further: he wanted crew members to learn the lifecycle of the vine and become engaged and passionate about their work.  He decided to give one Cuadra - a small vineyard block - to his team, so they could take responsibility for their land.  Each crew member became the farmer rather than just the worker.  Thrilled with Ruben’s idea, Tom declared that the wine made from the crew’s Cuadra would be given to the team members for their own consumption.  Having the self-titled wine at the dinner table served as both a source of pride and a chance to appreciate fine wine, the fruits of the crew’s labor!
Beginning with the 2009 vintage, they expanded the Cuadrilla program to blend in more wine from the vineyard in addition to the training Cuadra.  Today, about 18% of the winery’s production goes into the blend.  The profits are returned to the crew members, divided by seniority, in the form of both a year-end bonus as well as weekly bonuses on each paycheck.  Their goal is to increase the quality of everyday life for La Cuadrilla and their families. Today, La Cuadrilla represents a vineyard-wide blend.  They assemble it from declassified co-fermentations, gentle-press wine from the high-end cuvees, and lastly; riper, more fruit forward lots.Inspired by their perpetual evolution and innovation, creative director Kari Crist designs a new black and white image for each vintage’s release, which always relate to the Cuadrilla members.  
 Healthy late season rains pushed back bud-break and the growing season by 3-4 weeks.  They escaped the summer without any extreme heat events that would have accelerated ripening.  This all led up to even, slow sugar accumulation.  By the end of August, with no red fruit anywhere near ripeness, they knew they were in for a late, compacted red wine harvest.  Sure enough, they strategically jumped into the thick of it in early October.  Even with La Cuadrilla in turbo, as they prioritized each night’s picks, they pushed some micro blocks to hang a day or two longer than originally planned.  Those lots were automatically declassified into La Cuadrilla, making the 2023 even more supple and yummy. 
Plush Lavender with hints of fresh, crunchy red berry.  A swirl of juicy red to purple plum.  The fresh, lively front palate leads into a weighty, more serious middle.  Exciting spicy pepper notes trace behind the fruit on the nose and ride over the soft, fine tannin.  Even now, with a few minutes of air the 50% Syrah takes command, getting darker and bolder, harkening for grilled red meat.  Another dried herb, menthol layer appears, showing future evolution and complexity.
