Join us as we explore three incredible wines that honor tradition while bringing fresh, vibrant energy to the table.

Featured Wines;
2024 Apollo’s Praise Dry Riesling ‘Lahoma Vineyard’
Apollo’s Praise is the brand-new project from Finger Lakes legends Kelby James Russell and Julia Hoyle. Centered on the iconic Lahoma Vineyard, this site is a geological anomaly characterized by rare red sandstone soils. This Riesling is a masterclass in texture; it undergoes a cold-soak maceration to extract power and structure while maintaining a crystalline citrus and peach core. It is a bold, artistic statement from two of the region's most respected ambassadors.

2024 Bedrock Wine Co. ‘Ode to Lulu’ Rosé
Bedrock is the passion project of Morgan Twain-Peterson MW, a guardian of California’s "forgotten" vines. ‘Ode to Lulu’ is a heartfelt tribute to Lulu Peyraud, the late matriarch of Domaine Tempier in Bandol. Sourced primarily from centenarian Mourvèdre vines, this is a "serious" rosé. It is savory, herbaceous, and structured, leaning into the spicy character of old-vine fruit while maintaining a crisp, saline finish that rivals the best of southern France.

2023 Sandlands Red Table Wine
Sandlands is the personal project of Tegan Passalacqua, the longtime vineyard manager for Turley Wine Cellars. Tegan is a "vineyard sleuth" dedicated to forgotten regions and grapes grown in sandy, ungrafted soils. This Red Table Wine is a soulful, equal-parts blend of Cinsault, Carignane, and Zinfandel from three heritage vineyards planted between 1886 and 1915. Fermented with 100% whole clusters, it is bright, floral, and elegant, honoring California’s deep viticultural history.
