  • 2019 Roero Arneis Docg
    One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 2019 ROERO ARNEIS DOCG Grape variety: Arneis Vineyards: Select vineyards in the villages of Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, Montà d’Alba Age of vines: 19-26 years Yield: 70 hL/ha Vinification: Stainless steel vats Length of fermentation: 25-30 days Malolactic fermentation: not developed Refinement: 4 months in stainless steel vats + 1 month in bottle Bottling: February 2020 Alcohol: 13.5% vol. Total acidity: 5.10 g/L pH: 3.30 Total extract: 22.5 g/L Sensory analysis: Intense straw colored with greenish glints. The nose presents lemon, pineapple, peach and apricot notes with floral hints. On the palate, it is fresh, full-bodied, with mineral notes and a persistent finish.

    Reservations Accepted | 10/1/2021 1 Welcome to Virginia’s First Urban Winery! What’s an Urban Winery, you ask? Well, we are. Take a look around, and you’ll see a pretty unique blend of concepts. First and foremost, you’ll see wine made here under our Mermaid label, highlighting the potential of Virginia’s grapes and wine production. Virginia has a rich history of grape growing and winemaking, and we’ve selected the best grapes we can get our hands on for our Mermaid Wines. We primarily work with fruit from our Charlottesville vineyard, with occasional sourcing from other locations if we see the opportunity to make something special. We’ve put together some really enjoyable wines for you to try – some classic, some fun, all delicious. Secondly, you’ll see wines from all around the world. Some you’ll recognize, others you might not. These selections lend to our wine bar-style atmosphere and really enrich the experience by offering a wide range of wines to be tried. They’re all available by the bottle, and most by the glass and flight as well, right alongside our Mermaid Wines. The staff can tell you all about any of them, so rest assured that you’ll never be drinking blind. These wines also rotate with the season, and there’s always something new to try. We have a full kitchen too, with a diverse menu that can carry you through lunch, brunch and dinner from the lightest snack to a full-on meal. With dishes that can be easily paired with a variety of our wines, make sure you try anything that catches your eye.

  • Renzo Seghesio • Monforte D'alba, Barolo Nebbiolo and Barbera Run-Through Renzo Seghesio’S Veins, Just As They Did for His Father, Francesco
    Renzo Seghesio • Monforte d'Alba, Barolo Nebbiolo and Barbera run-through Renzo Seghesio’s veins, just as they did for his father, Francesco. They are natives of Monforte d’Alba, the commune in Barolo known for producing commanding expressions of Nebbiolo. The family, since 1900, owns Cascina Pajana, a smaller division of the Ginestra Cru, made famous by Barolo big boys. Renzo studied winemaking in Alba and was a follower of Piedmont’s renaissance man Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio, an accomplished painter and chemist as well as a scholar of archaeology and botany. Inspired by Giuseppe, Renzo continued his studies at the University of Turin and received a degree in biology. Returning to Piedmont in the 1960s, Renzo's intent was to bottle wine from his family's parcels, rather than sell the fruit. He succeeded in 1968, making his first wine in his family's garage in 1968. Roero Arneis 2018 A new addition to the Seghesio collection and first-time in the United States, the Arneis is a dear project from Renzo’s sons, Federico and Raffaele (who designed the minimalist label). Relative to other Roero Arneis, the Seghesio expression is a bit racier and leaner, yet still pretty with all its white flowers, apple crunch, and spritz-y summer citrus. Directly south of Canale, in Vezza d’Alba, the family owns and farms the estate of San Bernardino. Here, the soils are sand over a calcareous base presented by extreme inclinations, facing south and southwest. Fermentation takes-place in tank for 10 days, and ages on its lees for 6 months (also in tank)..

  • Blissful Red
    Estate Wines from Mendocino County Blissful Red THE BLISS STORY In the late 1930s, our Grandfather, Irv Bliss, first visited Mendocino County and spotted a picturesque ranch among the rolling hills and unspoiled land. Years later, when Irv learned of a Mendocino property for sale, he gathered all his savings and placed a bid—sight unseen. As fate would have it, the plot Irv purchased was the original 450-acre estate that had captivated his imagination years before. Seventy years later, we still carry Irv’s love for the land through our third generation of family farmers. We celebrate Irv’s legacy by showcasing the rich fruit we grow on our property and putting our own Bliss into every bottle of wine we produce. TASTING NOTES Our perennial “pizza/pasta wine” has become ‘Blissful Red’: starring We proudly introduce our Primitivo, Zinfandel, and Sangiovese with Barbera, Merlot, Cab, and Syrah Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red. for additional structure. It has a nose of dried cherries, plums, and clove, followed by a rich mouth feel bursting with bright raspberries and cinnamon notes. This wine finishes with integrated tannins and good acidity to make it the perfect food match. FOOD PAIRINGS Versatile enough to pair with everything from savory pizzas to delicious pastas. Perfect with a Hawaiian “pie”, spaghetti with meatballs, or just about anything.

  • Zinfandel Tips
    Tips for Making Great Z I N F A N D E L Zinfandel is a lush, fruity grape that is adaptable to many terriors, but is best in warm (but not too hot) climates with cool nights. Picked early, it has more acid and strawberry flavors; picked late and it can have a jammy, blackberry flavor and can sustain alcohol approaching 16 percent. DNA typing has shown that the Italian grape, Primitivo, and Zinfandel are clones of the same grape. Primitivo is a superior grape, from a grower’s standpoint, to Zinfandel. It also is made in a darker, spicier style than most American Zinfandels. The EU recognized Zinfandel and Primitivo as synonymous in 1999. In 2007, the U.S. TTB listed both wines as approved grape varietals – but they are NOT synonymous. Zins must be labeled as Zins, and Primitivos must be labeled as Primitivos 1. Of course, start with good fruit. We believe the Club Project fruit will be top notch Zinfandel from one of the best Zinfandel terriors in the world, the Sierra Foothills. 2. Harvest brix should be between 24 and 25.5 degrees (see note 1). When you get this must home, immediately check the pH and the TA. The pH is likely to be a little high (3.60+) and acid low (perhaps .50 g/l or so). My advice is to carefully add tartaric acid in stages to bring the pH down to about 3.35 to 3.40 3. Consider adding pectic enzyme before fermentation to aid in color extraction (2.5 to 5.0 grams per 100 liters).

  • Grifi Toscana I.G.T. 2015
    GRIFI TOSCANA I.G.T. 2015 This risk-rewarding wine is for bullish producers only. In fact in 2014 Grifi was not produced due to adverse climate conditions. An incredible blend where Sangiovese’s freshness prefectly merges with the Cabernet Sauvignon’s backbone. Another fine example of a great blend for ageing. 2015 VINTAGE PASSIONATE like the radiant sun of this vintage... Harmonious wines, warm and charming, on the canvas, the marriage between light and matter. The variable weather conditions of this vintage, with the right timing, enabled us to make powerful, yet elegant wines. TASTING NOTES The assembly of two tardive varieties in a typical warm Tuscan vintage gives an extraordinary character to this wine. On the nose, the wine reveals notes of green spices, leather and tobacco. Pleasantly elegant with seamless tannins, the 2015 Grifi shows hints of umami and undergrowth on the palate. The finish is endless and succulent. VINEYARD GRAPES 53% Sangiovese, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon.
