Syrah/Carmenere blends from Chile. Currently in love with Lambrusco Salamino, though.

Are you a dog or cat person? Or maybe neither. Maybe you have birds or turtles or an ant farm?

Dogs – all of the dogs.

What song would you pick for karaoke?

Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band. Or Yeah! by Usher.

Jason MacPhee's Picks

Thanksgiving Picks

The Sorricchio di Valforte family have owned the land these grapes are grown on since the 14th century. The current generation focuses on the traditional grapes of Abruzzo and sustainable farming to create wines of great quality that are a true representation of their land. Their Pecorino is a stand out amongst lesser known Italian white varieties. 

Notes of white flowers and gravel after it rains on the nose. Just like their Montepulciano the slightly heavier mouthfeel and texture is the star again. Lively acidity is perfectly balanced with stone fruit and complex minerals. A perfect Alternative to Chardonnay to pair with Thanksgiving Dinner.
