CHILE
No Es Pituko! Rosé (Maule Valley)
A natural rosé made from País that drinks like a light red. Fresh, tart fruit with a bit of spice and creamy acidity.
ITALY
Nicchia Lambrusco di Modena (Emilia Romagna)
A medium-sweet Lambrusco with a fruity fragrance – perfect for dessert pairings, as well as any “agrodolce” style dishes combining sweet and sour flavors.
Archivio Volume Primo Vermouth (Piedmont)
Two bartenders from Verona’s beloved Bar Archivio set out to produce a well-balanced vermouth – not too sweet, not too bitter – with mixability AND quaffability in mind. Wormwood, gentian, thyme, sage, chamomile, licorice and just a touch of vanilla. Sweet without being cloying!
Etna Bitter L’Aperitivo del Vulcano (Sicily)
Produced near the base of active Mount Etna, the name says it all here – a bitter liqueur made from a base of white Sicilian wine, sweet mandarins, bitter Sicilian oranges, orange blossom honey, local herbs and almonds.
France
Pas de Problème Sauvignon Blanc (Languedoc)
An informal French expression that can be used to shrug off an apology or potential problem, Pas de Problème is the answer to the problem of finding casual, affordable, highly drinkable French wine. Their Pinot Noir is a popular selection at CORK, so we’re delighted to offer a white from the same producer!
SPAIN
De Muller Iris Dorado Vermouth and Blanco Vermouth (Catalonia)
De Muller Vermouths have been made using the same recipe since 1850 in Catalonia. They’re traditionally enjoyed neat, on ice or with soda. The Blanc offers anise, with notes of lemon, bitter almond, tropical and stone fruit. Tons of The Dorado offers warm cinnamon and vanilla with an herbal background. Fantastic with chocolate or nut desserts.
Partida Creus Muz Catalunya Red (Catalonia)
Produced by Piedmont transplants in Catalonia, this is a certified organic sweet vermouth with notes of rosewater, cranberries and herbs. Enjoy it as a spritz with Cava and club soda with a twist of your choice!
CALIFORNIA
Cult Cabernet Sauvignon (Lodi)
Aged in 25% new French oak, this is an easy drinking Cab that’s both fruit forward and savory with a dynamic finish.
OREGON
Maloof Pinot Gris Temperance Hill Vineyard (Willamette Valley)
Maloof is known for their organic and biodynamic wines, and we’ve added three of their selections to our shelves. The first is a fuller bodied, lush Pinot Gris with notes of apple, lemon zest, honeysuckle and tropical fruit. Tons of refreshing acidity here!
Maloof Where Ya’ PJ’s At? (Willamette Valley)
A rosé-ish blend of skin contact Pinot Gris and dry Riesling. Maloof wanted all the playfulness of a rosé without using red fruit. Pairs well with stinky cheese, white pizza, pasta, fried food and even buttered popcorn.
Maloof L’Eau Epicée Sparkling (Willamette Valley)
Somewhere between anestrale, champenoise and pet-nat comes this natural sparkler. A luscious, frothy texture with notes of lemon, pear, ginger, honeycomb and white flowers. Great with veggies and all cheese.
OH, AND NEW CANS!
Prisma Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley, Chile)
Fresh, vibrant and aromatic with bright strawberry and cherry with underlying notes of oak. Smooth and velvety!
Old Westminster Winery Seeds & Skins (Maryland)
A natural, skin fermented Pinot Grigio offering peach, apricot, mango and sage on the nose and lemon, nectarine and honey on the palate. Pair it with white pizza.
No Fine Print Lil Fizz (California)
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and a tad of Pinot Noir rosé, here’s a crushable white with a touch of fizz. Bright and crisp like sunshine!
