“Zestos” is a lively, naturally sparkling wine that brings a bright, celebratory energy to this month’s lineup. When we tasted this bottle in early Fall, we all knew we had to hold onto it for Spring & feature this beauty in May's Wine Club.
Made in the ancestral (pét-nat) method, it is bottled before fermentation is complete thus creating a gentle, natural fizz with a slightly cloudy, unfiltered look. In the glass, the wine shows vibrant notes of citrus, green apple and stone fruit, with a hint of wild herbs and a soft yeasty character from the lees. The bubbles are light and refreshing rather than aggressive, giving it an easy, drinkable feel that’s perfect for warmer weather. 
Fun, fresh and just a little wild, this is the kind of bottle you pop with friends.  no occasion or explanation necessary

This organic Malagousia from the foothills of Mount Agrafa brings a fresh, aromatic side of Greek wine that’s still a bit under the radar. The Kontozisis family has been farming organically since the early ‘90s, focusing on site-driven wines and small scale production. It opens with bright aromatics, citrus, stone fruit, and soft floral notes followed by a clean, textured palate with refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral finish. A balance here between richness and lift that makes it versatile with food or just on its own. Crisp, expressive, & quietly complex, this is a great intro to modern Greek whites.

Martha Stoumen Wines were founded upon the desire to recapture a farming and winemaking culture that has all but faded away: a winemaking culture of patience. After 8 years apprenticing around the world, Martha set out as a self-funded, first generation winemaker to answer the question, “What does California taste like?” In the hot little corner of Northern California, Mediterranean grapes thrive and healthy vineyards allow for the creation of joyful, balanced wines. These wines are made from unexpected varietals and offer new takes on California classics. They do things the right way even if it's not the easy or cool way. Of the nearly two dozen wines made every year, blends and flavors change but the desire to share the simple pleasures of natural wine remains the same. 
This is the third Patatino, a wine that first celebrated the birth of Marth's son, August (aka Patatino or “little potato” in Italian grandmother speak). This non-vintage edition is cheerful and unbounded, encouraging us all to set-aside preconceived notions and just play! Using carbonic maceration enables a light and fruity core, while blending vintages add just a touch of maturity and balance to this dry farmed blend. All varieties kept whole cluster and fermented separately in sealed tanks (carbonic maceration) before pressing. A small portion of the Valdiguié was co-fermented with Carignan and white Colombard grapes. Each lot completed fermentation in stainless steel tanks and was then aged for 6-18 months in neutral oak barrique and neutral vessels. Unfined & unfiltered.. so expect some residual sediment.   
Patatino brings the refreshment. A healthy dose of Ricetti Vineyard Valdiguié and Beaujolais Nouveau-style treatment in the cellar yield electric raspberry colors in the glass. Embrace aromas of hibiscus, fir and wild licorice, and let them mingle with blood orange and raspberry leaf tea on the palate. Only 60 cases produced this year.. so enjoy it!
