TONIGHT 6-8: W**emaker Wednesday!
Diogo & Ines from Dona Berta Behind the Bar

The Douro is a magical place.  It’s named after the winding river that cuts through the sun-drenched hills on its way to Porto and the sea. From the 17th through the 20th centuries, this region was almost exclusively the production area for Port w**es. Today we see more and more dry w**e being made here for export as well as for domestic consumption.  Locals always made these w**es for themselves and their neighbors, but until recently few ever received labels and corks.  Lucky we are now.

The w**es of Dona Berta play a key part in the changes occurring in this river valley.  Today this 15 hectaare project produces unique and age-worthy w**es made from the ancestral grapes of the Douro on its famous schist soils.  Elegant, classic, old-school w**es. And, like those from Portugal in general, they are still remarkably affordable, especially given the relative value they offer against the rest of Europe. Tonight, we welcome w**emakers Diogo & Inês, who will be pouring these exceptional w**es for you.

Some w**es are better than others. These (very) late-release Renaissance Cabernet Sauvignons are better than most. The product of Gideon Beinstock’s time at Renaissance W**ery, this current drop has become an obsession at Dandelion, as Gideon has been for so long. Gideon has run his own w**ery – Clos Saron – since 1999, but he continued making w**e at Renaissance through 2006. The w**es are legendary for many reasons, not least as a revelation of the power of  decomposed granite soils in the Sierra Foothills. 1999, 2001 & 2002: they’re ready to drink! At a certain point in the evening, it’s time to take a Cab.

Scar of the Sea and Lady of the Sunshine are here!  We’ve been big fans of the w**eries on the cool San Luis Obispo Coast for years now, and Mikey & Gina were the trailblazers here. They were able to purchase the Bassi vineyard recently – no mean feat – and the Scar Bassi Syrah took top honors at “The 1976 Re-Do”,  a contemporary version of the infamous Judgment of Paris. Check out their new w**es plus some other SLOCoast gems here.  🌊.of.the.Sunshine 🌻

TONIGHT 6-8! Calcarea W**emaker Juan Jurado Behind the Bar
Some of our favorite dry white w**es today come from Jerez, Andalusia’s Sherry region. These are bright, fresh dry w**es coming from a parched, sun-baked landscape. Juan Jurado spent the better part of a decade working in other regions before returning to his native Jerez. In 2022, he invested all his savings to purchase a small vineyard in the Miraflores de Sanlúcar estate. This marked the birth of Agrícola Calcárea. Calcárea – named for the soils here – is truly a labor of love. It’s all done by hand and with an emphasis on the sustainability of the vineyard. Juan works with almost extinct heirloom varieties of grapes. The w**es feature subtle stone fruit aromas, with spiced, mineral, chalky, and salty notes. They are light and refreshing, savory, and distinctly saline. Today he has a little more land but we’re still talking about less than 2hA of vines. Needless to say, the quantity of w**e the estate produces is quite limited. Everything is organic and biodynamic techniques are also used. All the w**es are unfined and unfiltered.

Speaking of Sherry, the big Sherry event – Feria en Rama – is coming up this Sunday at the High Line.  If you are a w**e geek, don’t miss this!  And, you can get 50% off admission with this code: FERIAENRAMA

Andalucia – it’s a great place to raise kids, but it’s an even better place to drink crisp, dry white w**e. There’s just not enough Vino de Pasto around these days. These are unfortified whites from the sherry region: Jerez. They reflect the place: rocky and near the ocean. And they’re  impossible to beat for sheer minerality. Campiz Viejo is from the rare, recently recovered Vijariega Blanca grape. It’s clean and clear like a ringing bell with salt, beach plants, and all the racy acid you’d expect shimmering off its mineral core. Caseron de Mahina is all Palomino. Wet chalk, sea grass and a bit of spice; Manzanilla nose with some almond amongst the driftwood and lush floral notes.  Opposite ends of the spectrum almost but both are textbook examples of the category, from single vineyards, aged under flor (or voile as they call it in the Jura.)

TASTING TONIGHT 6-8: True Pfalz W**es from Lukas Hammelmann
Lukas Hammelmann is an uncompromising producer of powerfully acid-driven dry Riesling. A rare and intense talent, he works the cold, flat, wind-swept Rhein basin of the Pfalz. The wider region is densely populated with w**eries, but no one stands out quite like Hammelmann. For us he’s one of the most interesting w**emakers in Germany.

The Rieslings are dry and very, very sharp. Structure is excellent, and while most w**e here proudly leans in to ripeness, Hammelmann’s w**es suggest just barely ripe or even slightly unripe orchard fruit, along with unadulterated citrus. High acid, tight, tart fruit, and some pithy bitterness. It’s as if these w**es were made in a colder climate somewhere in Germany where no one else lives. Just our sort of thing really. Our first taste of these w**es, several years ago now, was unforgettable. The Rieslings are absolutely screeching and they soar across the palate with that raw citrus, green herbs and a bone-chilling acidity, punchy and ruthless like a Keith Richards riff. ⚡️
