Carboniste CARBO-NATION “Batch 002”
Vibrant - Playful - Refreshing
 
Winemaker: Carbo-Nation Wines | Origin: California | Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, & Riesling  | Cheese: Plymouth Cheese Ballyhoo Vermont Brie
 
This wine is pure fun in a bottle. “Batch 002” is a lightly sparkling white that’s bursting with fresh citrus, green apple, and a hint of something floral that keeps you coming back for another sip. It’s bright, zippy, and just a little wild, in the best way. The bubbles give it an easy, energetic lift that makes it great for sharing with friends or kicking off a cozy dinner. And don’t skip over that label, it’s covered in bold, eye-catching artwork that perfectly matches the wine’s creative and carefree vibe. It’s the kind of bottle that looks as good on the table as it tastes in the glass.
 
 
Rootdown “Es Okay” White
Textured - Cool - Bright
 
Winemaker: Rootdown Cellars | Origin: California | Grapes: Blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, and others | Cheese: High Lawn Farm Crema Alpina
 
Here’s a wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers something special. “Es Okay” White is a blend of a bunch of different grapes, brought together with partial skin contact and a gentle filtration that gives it just the right amount of texture. It’s what some call a “baby orange” wine lightly golden, aromatic, and full of personality. Expect notes of citrus peel, white flowers, and stone fruit with a slightly tangy, refreshing finish. It’s the perfect balance between crisp and funky, a wine that feels relaxed but still a little adventurous. Pop it open with a grazing box, you’ll be glad you did.
 
 
Mary Taylor Beaujolais-Villages 2022
Juicy - Cheerful - Lively
 
Winemaker: Mary Taylor | Origin: Beaujolais, France | Grapes: Gamay | Cheese: Grafton Bear Hill Raw Sheep Cheese 
 
When founding partner Mary Taylor first fell in love with wine in the early 1990’s, it was the European classics that truly spoke to her and stole her heart. As a young professional selling French and Italian wine, first in the New York wine auctions and then as a merchant, she quickly learned to appreciate wine in the “Old World” way— not as a luxury good reserved for special occasions, but a living agricultural product that belongs to everyday life.
 
Today, Mary Taylor Wine’s mission is to unlock the world of European “appellation” wines by working with individual growers in multiple villages— from Bordeaux to Nîmes to Valençay— who produce exceptional, regionally-distinctive wines at extremely accessible prices. Each Mary Taylor wine is a faithful ambassador of its geographical origin, true to local traditions, and the vision of the individual farmer who bottled it, whose name is listed on the front of every bottle. Mary Taylor Wine offers affordable wines of genuine quality and integrity (no shortcuts) that will bring the magic of their “terroirs” to life wherever you choose to enjoy them: at a dinner party, next to the grill, or even just on a quiet night at home.
 
Marine Descombes’ 2022 Beaujolais-Villages is a lovely example of this. Marine Descombe runs her family winery at Vins Descombe in Brouilly, which was founded in 1905 by her grandfather.  Marine now heads up all aspects of the winery. 
 
This wine’s aromatic constellation is bright and complex, revealing notes of red and black cherries, sweet cranberries, woodsmoke, a dollop of fresh herb tones and a refined base of soil. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and succulent at the core, with a good foundation of soil tones, tangy acids, just a bit of backend tannin and fine balance on the long and complex finish. This has just a touch of the 2022 vintage’s concentrating effects from the drought, but it simply amounts to a bit more grip on the backend that will carry the wine longer into the future than is most likely customary for this cuvée. It is a very high class example of Beaujolais-Villages and one we hope you will enjoy!
