There's a compellingly rocky core to the nose of this bottling, which is redolent with black raspberry, flinty smoke, crushed hibiscus, rose petals and an earthy streak. The palate is crunchy with fresh cranberry skins and other red fruits, and jam-packed with mineral tones of turned earth and pulverized stones. It goes down tremendously easy but with elegance and intrigue.

Caveau Savoyard Gamay Rosé
A delicate rosé with aromas and flavors of red fruits (currents, cherries), pinapple and citrus, white flowers, and herbs de Provence. The tonic, harmonious notes of minerality and crisp fruit reflects the granite and limestone slopes of the Alps.

Domaine de Colette Beaujolais
After selective sorting of the harvested grapes before vatting on a sorting table, the bunches of grapes are vatted whole (no de-stalking or crushing).
They are vinified using traditional Beaujolais methods, where the bunches are kept whole throughout vatting, which lasts 7 to 8 days.
In this way we craft a ruby-coloured Beaujolais-Villages with pleasant red fruit aromas (raspberry, red currant, strawberry). The tannins are supple and blend in beautifully. This fruity wine will be tasty all the time of day.

Lo-Fi Gamay/Pinot Noir
Hand harvested and organically grown; 100% whole cluster carbonic fermentation. Each varietal was fermented separately and picked at different times. Pumped over once daily after which the top was again sealed and the fermenter was gassed using carbon dioxide. Fermented on the native yeasts, followed by full malolactic by naturally occurring bacteria. Fermentation lasted for 8 days then pressed and racked in to vessels for aging. The Pinot Noir was tank aged while the Gamay was aged in neutral French barrels. After 4 months the wines were racked and blended together then put back down into barrel for an additional 3 months. A total Of 25 ppm so2 was added prior to bottling without filtration in keeping with our minimalist (lo-fi) philosophy.

Pearl Morisette Roselana 2020
"The 2020 vintage of Roselana is a completely dry and vinous rosé - just like all its predecessors. A wine of sensual refinement and romance, yet bold and glamorous. You can call it pretty, but it'll be an understatement to the seriousness it carries in its bones. It's a wine that glides and vibrates, carrying intricate details in both its freshness and its power."

Francois Chidaine Touraine Rose
"Produced from equal parts of these varietals, the fruit for this wine comes from Chidaine’s estate-grown, bio-dynamically farmed vineyards located just north of the Cher river between the villages of Montrichard & Chissay-en-Touraine.
The nose of gooseberries has some some floral notes is followed by a medium-full wine with a chalky texture. Excellent acidity and beautiful tension bring up the solid mineral core. Very refreshing, but surprisingly complex, this is a perennial favorite where supply never is sufficient for demand. Amazing value and very food friendly!"

Sacred Thirst Selections
Domaine Miolanne Volcane Rosé
Floral and delicate with a very subtle smoky quality. It’s Provençal-esque in style, with a crisp delicious citrus finish and a wonderful pink-ness (think watermelon and bubble gum without being sweet), plus minerality to give the wine depth and a long finish.

Stolpman GGT Red
Cherry Cherry Cherry - spanning from hard candy to bright Rainier - into bright, banging Pomegranate. Savory Trousseau tea leaves back the pure red fruit and Gamay lends depth and crunch. A citrus spray layer of energy rides above the fruit profile and bonds the three varietals under its high-toned webbing. Youthful tartness and a tannin back-board structure the wine to create something more serious than just a delicious day-time masher.

Maison Angelot Bugey Gamay
Yields for the Gamay average about 55 hl/ha, while the vines themselves are 25-30 years old. The grapes are approximately 80% destemmed. The juice is converted into wine through carbonic maceration in temperature-controlled fiberglass tanks over the course of 6 days, and the caps are punched down twice a day. The result is a wine that is totally slurp-able. Not tremendously complex or deep, but simply delicious. Replete with spicy red fruit and with low acid and tannin, this wine is downright fun! This is the type of wine to open without thought, during a wide variety of occasions and with many types of simple, comfort food (hey, don't most of us eat like that every night?) Gulp it by the bottle, gulp it by the case!

Phillippe Tessier Cheverny Rosé
In a world awash in rosé this stands above the rest. This being Cheverny, it is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay and the 2020 is maybe his best vintage yet. Like so many of the wines we love from this region, this wine is mineral forward, providing a firm backbone to the concentrated fruit, kept very fresh with bright mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of soft chalky red berries along with garden blossom and wet stone are too hard to resist. Like all of his wines there is precision evident in the long and snappy finish.

Paul Janin Moulin a Vent Les Vignes du Tremblay
This wine marks the origin of the domain. My grandfather purchased his first plots of vines in 1937, situated in the locality named Le Tremblay. Nowadays, this wine is a blend from several localities named Les Greneriers, Les Burdelines, Les Pérelles, Champs de Cour, Les Brussellions and Aux Caves.
This wine is refined and sophisticated.

Gros Ventre Gamay Noir Rosé
Our 2020 Rosé is comprised entirely from Gamay Noir grown at high elevation in El Dorado. We’ve longed to make this Gamay-only wine for years, but never had enough Gamay grapes. The 2020 wildfires afforded us the opportunity to make something beautiful from something terrible, allowing us to crush more Gamay for purposeful Rosé. It's pale pink in color, with aromatics of orange peel, carnations, strawberry, and hints of herbs and watermelon rind. This fresh rendition has vibrant acidity that pairs well with a Covid-friendly picnic and a bucket of fried chicken.

Desvignes Morgon La Voute Saint-Vincent 2019
"Offering up aromas of wild berry fruit, orange rind, plums and grilled meats, the 2019 Morgon La Voûte Saint-Vincent is medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and melting tannins. Lively but gourmand, it's the most charming, immediate wine in the Desvignes' cellar."

Terres Dorées L'Ancien Vielles Vignes Beaujolais Magnum
100% Gamay. L'Ancien comes from Jean Paul's oldest vines--hence the name of the wine--in his home village of Charnay in the southern Beaujolais. They range in age from 40 to 60 years old and are planted on slopes sporting the area's signature sandy clay-limestone soils, featuring the particular local "dorée" or "golden" limestone that is laden with iron. These older vines have always been farmed organically and harvested by hand and yield small, thick-skinned Gamay berries. As for all Terres Dorées reds, the vinification is traditional Burgundian. The grapes are rigorously sorted and destemmed, crushed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats. The wine is aged in concrete until May-June after the vintage.
