Ole & Obrigado Wines
$790 Ole & Obrigado
Enjoy a mixed case of one of the most talented up-and-comers of the next generation of Spanish winemakers, Alberto Orte.
Alberto, born in Madrid to a wine-making family, has dedicated a huge portion of his life to discovering great terroirs, resurrecting ancient clones, and replanting nearly extinct grape varieties that would otherwise be lost to modernity. Alberto produces wine in many regions throughout the Iberian Peninsula, most notably in Jerez, Valdeorras, and Rioja.
Alberto believes that low yields, balanced soils, and top-quality raw materials are three fundamental factors in creating terroir-reflective and balanced wines.
Alberto's dedication to the preservation of special vineyards and varietals forms the backbone of his efforts around sustainability in viticulture and winemaking. A true farmer at heart, Alberto is fervently passionate about organic farming.
Inside the winery itself, he uses an organic approach, allowing his impeccable fruit and terroir to shine through in the final product, unmarked by adjustments and chemicals.

Julia Lee's Wine

Argyle is an award-winning, essential Oregon winery, led by stand-out winemaker Nate Klostermann, who grew up in Minnesota, and innovative viticulturist Geoff Hall. They've produced the most highly rated wines in Argyle's long history.
A little about this wine: "From the beloved Julia Lee's Block planted in 1990 at Knudsen Vineyard, this wine captures the grace and grandeur of a great Blanc de Blancs. Planted in 1990, at 850 feet of elevation, the Dijon clone chardonnay furnishes this year's Blanc de Blancs with white peach, lemon zest, and hints of cocoa refined by layers of delicate creamy precision.
The late September picking and well below average crop yield has led to a sparkling wine of generous concentration, while still allowing the volcanic tension of the Dundee Hills to shine. Fermenting and aging in our oldest, neutral oak barrels expands its middle palate depth and builds upon its taut, savory length."
Package includes:
- 1 bottle of 2013 Knudson Vineyard Blanc de Blancs 1.5L

Yola Mezcal
$625Yola Mezcal
Fine Mexican Mezcal
Mezcal was once a well-kept secret amongst just a few. Yola Jimenez was one of the earliest Mezcal experts in Mexico and abroad, initially selling small batches of her farm's production to a handful of innovative chefs and close friends. Soon, Lykke Li and Gina Correll Aglietti joined to create their company Yola Mezcal, with the aim of celebrating their Mexican roots.
This is a true passion project - completely women-operated and crafted. Lykke and Gina wish for woman to be the center of Yola, so an all-female team heads up all their events and are always at the head of the table.
Mezcal is a distilled alcohol that is traditionally reserved for special occasions, and the Yola Mezcal de Pechuga is Oaxaca's finest. To make this fine beverage, they use the finest of seasonal citrus fruits, like oranges, tangerine, lime, guayaba, pineapple, and tejocote. Each blend is the unique result of an artisanal process that strives to achieve a rich and aromatic expression that is fit for any celebration. Enjoy!
Package includes:
- 1 case of Mezcal de Pechuga
*Will be shipped from Yola Mezcal.
