Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays. Gathering with family and friends you love to enjoy the time, food, and of course the wine. It’s so nice to slow down together and just enjoy the day as we really have so much to be grateful for. Thanksgiving comes with...

Often, I say, I’m a seasonal drinker. I like a crisp refreshing white or rosé on a hot day and a cozy juicy red on a grey day… Grüner Veltliner is however a varietal that I think is lovely year-round. In the summer on a hot and humid day, it's refreshing and...
