DAME’S WINE COLLECTION: We’ve gone all in on natural wine because we believe in celebrating farmers and other stewards of the land who work tirelessly to create biodiverse landscapes. Great wine is a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. The winemakers represented on these pages make wine from their core; with dedication, integrity, and great care for the land they farm. We are delighted to share the wines and the stories of folks whose hearts lay in the same vein as our own. These producers represent some of the world’s most unique vineyards and rare heritage grape varietals. We believe sharing these special wines with you is an honest extension of our desire to provide thoughtful hospitality. Your evening is in our hands for a few hours and it’s with great pleasure we get to open bottles for you that represent our ethos, the deep culture of the winemakers, and the diverse areas they farm. It’s all about heart, from the vineyard to your table, we hope you find as much charm and joy in these wines as we do.

Since 1981 Salvo has been farming the volcanic soils on majestic Mt. Etna, working with vines over 100 years old! With care and respect for local traditions and the ancient grapes of the island, his work is extremely admirable. His wines sing of the mountain terroir, equally ripe and delicate. Enjoy!

The bottles below might be the closest representation of how wine was made over 5,000 years ago in the Republic of Georgia…what some may consider the ‘first’ wine ever produced. White grapes are left to ferment on their skins in barrels, steel vessels, or clay amphorae, lending all shades of color from golden yellow to burnt amber, as well as tannin, texture, and loads of complexity. Aromatics and flavors run the spectrum of toasted nuts, farmhouse cider, and mottled fruits. They are a little wink at history and wonderful food wines.
