Come taste a different side of Rioja with producer Melanie Hickman Tuesday April 28th.

Melanie is an American who moved to Rioja Alavesa and spent her life savings to acquire and rehabilitate a once-conventionally farmed vineyard for which she saw great potential. Focusing on organic, regenerative, and conscientious winemaking, Melanie is producing some of the most unique, and most importantly, delicious bottlings we’ve come across in the region.

Come hear her story while tasting her most limited wines alongside some excellent Spanish bites. Ticket information in our bio.

Say kaixo to the new kid on the block, Txerri Basque Cider. Ion (as depicted) used a special high acidity apple blend and macerated post fermentation with a ton of Navarra cherries for 90 days. Tart and earthy as a basque cider should be.. but with cherries!

Oh, and Txerri happens to mean “pig” in basque.

We are so excited to host Jon from next week in NYC! His txakolis are unique in DO Getariako showing a serious, terroir-driven side of Hondarrabi Zuri with still bottlings that are more reminiscent of Chablis than the typical vhino verde-like style we are familiar with.

The estate sits less than a kilometer inland from the famous Zumaia Flysch (third and fourth picture) with its impressive striated compacted clay formations. Tens of millions of years ago, this rock pushed inland dragging salt and other elements from the sea with it. Today, it sits a mere 60cm below the surface of the vineyard, imparting intense minerality and concentration.

Catch Jon at:
for Mother’s Day dinner
for a btg takeover on Tuesday May 13
from noon-3pm on Tuesday May 13 for an industry-only tasting

1998 Garnacha reserva from

This wine has long outlived it’s vines which were part of a 100 year old goblet-pruned plot at the time of its harvest. As with the vast majority of Rioja Oriental, this old vineyard was uprooted decades ago for one reason or another. Wines from the region became primarily Tempranillo based with value, albeit great value, as their selling point.

This bottle takes us back to a time when Garnacha was king and reminds us that Rioja Oriental has the potential to hang with the best of Alta.

Will be open at our portfolio tasting from noon-3 next Wednesday the 9th. Industry only :)
