SMIRK IS BACK!!

2020 Smirk, Western Cape Muscat, South Africa
SKU: SOA112 | Price: $16.99

Our 2020 Smirk exhibits semi-sweet, earthy notes complimented by juicy mandarin orange, and lime on the palate. It’s light-bodied and clean, and produced with minimal winemaking manipulation, so it has no oak contact and no secondary malolactic fermentation. Naturally sweet, but not cloying, this is an easy drinking white table wine with some structural acidity—surely something Cleopatra would have found delightful on a humid Mediterranean afternoon.

Somm Bites: white cheddar popcorn (savory), kettle corn (sweet)

2020 Peekaboo, Chardonnay

Chardonnay lovers will unite behind this playfully tasty sip. With tropical fruit aromas and hint of spicy oak notes, this medium-full bodied beauty sports a creamy texture due to a portion ageing on the lees in French oak barrels during winemaking.

A fruit bowl of flavor jumps from the glass in a Chardonnay that spans the style spectrum for those who like lighter and bolder versions of this classic white. It’s crisp yet creamy with well-balanced fruit and oaky character.

Perfect pairings: white cheddar Cheez-its, buttered popcorn, salted nuts, roasted salmon, mushroom risotto, lobster, brie, white cheddar, lemon desserts

NEW RELEASE! 2020 Pearls & Kicks, Rosé

This dry, classically crisp pink drink sports juicy fruit flavors of wild berry, watermelon, and citrus. A summer sipper that will take you from pearls to kicks, where elegance meets sass by the glass. This wine is dedicated to the hustlers and dreamers that show up every day with purpose and passion. Slay, then rosé.


Light neon pink; medium body. Nose of white flowers, crushed red berries, watermelon rind, melon flesh, and golden delicious apples with a hint of stone fruits. Good fresh structural acidity, good weight, feel and extraction. This rosé tastes as it smells, dominated by crisp red berry and juicy melon rind with good length of flavors and length of finish.

Perfect pairings: nuts, trail mix, truffle popcorn, fruit salad, grilled veggie skewers, teriyaki chicken, fruit tarts, brie cheese, strawberry ice cream

Relax with Riesling!

Riesling Rocks! It’s a wine for every season and every reason. There’s a real reason it’s a grape that makes wine professionals’ lists of world-class whites as a whisper of sweetness is what draws you in, but the delicious fruitiness and zesty freshness is what keeps you coming back.

It’s an ideal wine to sip by itself with floral aromatics and juicy, fresh-from-the-vine fruity flavors, but is also an easy wine to pair with a wide variety of dishes from spicy to salty, savory to sweet and delicate to hearty. Take a virtual sip-trip to Thailand and pair it with Lazy Lab. Try Thai take-out and Riesling with pad Thai noodles, imperial rolls, satay in peanut sauce, or chicken in pumpkin curry. These dishes are a little sweet with a little heat, which are ideal with the foil of racy Riesling.

Perfect pairings: yogurt raisins, spicy tuna roll, miso soup, pumpkin curry, spicy Asian cuisine, brunch casseroles, vegetarian burritos, swiss, brie, rice krispie treats, apple spice cake, white chocolate chip cookies
