September w**e club - This one is for the aficionados. The real ones. The ones who are in it for the craft.

Two bottles: one dry, one sweet. Our new Aura Dry Vermouth 2025 and Thistle 2024.

☀️ Aura Dry Vermouth 2025
Aura is our first dry vermouth. But that’s not what makes it special. It’s the wildcrafted fresh dandelion blossoms, picked from the meadows of our vineyard and the hills around our farm. Each flower, painstakingly plucked by hand and infused into w**e.

You can’t mass-produce this. Aura is a true labor of love.

🍃 Thistle 2024
Our take on the Italian Thistle aperitivo. Think cardoon, artichoke, and blessed thistle, bound together with lemon balm and tarragon.

Thistle is a year-round bar staple. Pair it with gin and limoncello for something light and fresh, or with brandy or rye for something more autumnal.

🙌 W**e club members get 10% off all w**es and bitters, as well as sneak peaks on new releases.

We still have a few spaces left in this month’s release. Sign up on our website!

Our first Cayuga harvest.

Many years ago, our friends at Briedé Family Vineyards introduced us to Cayuga. We were trying to decide what grapes to plant in our new vineyard. Their recommendation would change the course of our journey as a business.

Of all the grapes we grow, Cayuga is the best adapted to our micro-climate. It’s thrived through deer damage, disease, and hard frosts. We never doubted these vines, and after many years, we finally have a harvest.

Bonus: post-harvest celebration conchas from the Atoka store & Mexican Grill. Pure joy, from start to finish.

Harvest of the hybrids!

This week, we harvested from the experimental portion of our vineyard. Rows and rows of trial varieties, some never grown before.

We’ll ferment each separately, then let the w**es tell us where they want to go next. Bottled individually? Mixed into a field blend? Oxidized under the sun?

Time will tell. For now, a dream completed.

Our vineyard is finally mature enough to produce fruit. A new chapter is about to begin.

Veraison. Colors in the vineyard.

We planted this vineyard to a variety of hybrids years ago. It’s almost time for our first harvest.

Some of these grapes, we’re tasting for the first time: Sabrevois, Frontenac Blanc and Gris, Prairie Star.

Some, no one has tasted: a miscellany of experimental hybrids at the edge of the block. One is bright fuchsia and smells like strawberry candy.

Have we done it? Are we there yet?

We just might be.

It’s our first year applying bird netting to our grapes. The journey to this point has been long.

After years of fighting rogue deer, patching broken fences, and of late, navigating spring frosts, we’ve seen this first harvest delayed so many times.

Through all of it, the grapes have persevered. Still there. Still worth protecting.

That’s our job. Tending and protecting the vines. The vermouth is a secondary art. Real w**emaking starts in the vineyard. We’ve never lost sight of that.

This is Aura. Our first dry vermouth.

It’s called Aura because there’s something intangible about this vermouth.

Infused with dandelion blossom, wormwood, thyme, and oregano, it speaks but barely touches. Shrouds but does not oppress.

It shifts the energy of the room in a way that no one can quite understand or pinpoint.

It glows, glows like the first drop of sun on the horizon, like the first wink of a star at dusk.

This initial release is a pilot, with more to come later. If you’d like to pre-order a bottle, check out our website. Bottles hit the wild in a few weeks.

It’s aperitivi season, baby!

Grab hold of your ice buckets, because it’s time. Time to spritz.

Chamomile is back, and lots of it. Floral. Heady. Honeyed. Hot. Over ice or martini’d up, it’s your next summer fling

Or take Mentha. Articulately bitter. Bossy…like you like it. Level up your mojito. Stir up your julep. Add a little impact to your glass.

Feeling traditional? Thistle picks up the Italian artichoke aperitivo and brings it home. Sleeves cuffed, tie loose. Serve chilled over ice or stir into your lemonade pitcher. It leads, you follow.

Local delivery available. Shipping to most states. Or, pick up a bottle at the Del Ray Farmers’ Market.

Y’all means all, folks! Happy Pride! Celebrate with some aperitivi at the Del Ray Farmers Market.

The wearisome reality of increasingly erratic weather patterns. High winds, sudden rains. Somewhere not far, a tornado touched down.

The road to the vineyard was apocalyptic. Old trees, felled like toothpicks.

One side of the fence looks like something from myth took a bite out of its side. The other is crushed at multiple panels like a compound fracture.

There’s a silver lining. Most of the fells are so dense, deer can’t pass through.

This is Mid-Atlantic farming in a changing climate. This old fence wasn’t built for these winds. These old trees weren’t planted with tornado conditions in mind.

We adapt as much as we can. Trying to match pace with a rapidly devolving celestial body as it becomes another, less familiar earth.
