Veraison has begun in Carneros! This is the point in the vineyard year when grapevines begin to ripen their fruit; signaling a shift from growth to sugar development and acid mollification. We are within 70 days of the beginning of harvest 2025 in Napa! #winesky #winetech

Most people think of Malbec as a "mellow Merlot" and only from South America. Our July Wine Club Selection throws that out the window with a 100% Malbec: blood-red in the glass with a bouquet of black-red roses and crushed raspberries. Here is Malbec from its homeland, Cahors, and organic! #winesky

Set sail to the Isle of Kos this summer with a bottle of July Wine Club's delicious and delicately complex Malagouzia from @skevofilaxwinery ! Pink grapefruit, jasmine, geniata, white peaches adrift on a sea of salted lemons... glorious!! #winesky

Ibrandwinery has made a quiet name for themselves by making wine from out-of-the-way areas and this Cab, from the 1979-planted Bates on a complex, low-nutrient soil that gives us a HUGE Cab that delights in its musculature with dark plums balanced against acacia flowers and velvet tannins. #winesky

We are thrilled to have gotten more of Bodegas Ondarre 's 'Primeur' Rioja in! From a family that has lived in Rioja since 1450, here is a bright, fresh "new" style showing Turkish Bay with fresh allspice and nutmeg against a rich background of dragonfruit and raspberries. All stainless AND organic!

Oh my!! Our 4th of July grilling was perfection pairing house-ground blend of chuck and round with this stunningly voluptuous Bordeaux from the #cotesdebourg and #chateautourdesgraves! Organic deliciousness from a family estate! #winesky

A hot day followed by a relaxing evening grilling and reveling in the Calistoga lushness of Jax Vineyards’ “Y3 Taureau” a Cab-dominant classic blend showing the brambled berry, dark chocolate-cedar character of Calistoga with lush silky tannins and gorgeous dark cherries! #jaxvineyards #winesky

Stoller Vineyards’ 2023 Estate Chard. Elderflower, white nectarine, Thai lime, and passion fruit with a hint of mineral and saline. Glorious on a hot day! #winesky

In need of a Soave at the Beach! Garganega grape in all its nectarine-y, almond-y, satsuma-peel-y glory with just a soupçon of salt air! #winesky #garganega

This heat is crying out for something from Enotria, the historic Land of Wine aka Campania, the arch of the boot of Italy… from the Marvelous @librandi and made from the delightfully cucumber-cool, crushed berry Gaglioppo grape! Swing by for a bottle!

Stay cool this week!

Tasting today! A new bottle of deliciousness from the Loire Valley and a lovey bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé delight awaits!

Our Main Red for June is a perfect example of a small winery (howdy @ibrandwinery!) making exquisite Grenache from old vineyards along the Central Coast of California. Lovely layers of wild strawberries, blueberries, green tea, jasmine, roses, and allspice…Summer red? Check!

A new Summer Delight from our friends over at Babylonstoren: how about a Sophisticated yet scrumptious sparkling Chenin Blanc?
Redolent of lemon grass and yellow nectarines with an understated sea salt backdrop, the bubbles are a delight and as refreshing as running through a backyard sprinkler!

This was one of most-popular-EVER Sauvignon Blancs that absolutely FLEW out of here. We managed to get ahold of a few more cases of exceptionally SPLENDIFEROUS wine which gleams with notes of lilies, orange blossom, hyacinth, Thai limes, white peaches.... Need we say more??#thewinstonsalemwinemarket
