Our grape growers are more than just suppliers; they’re vineyards sprawling across hillsides like elaborate tattoos on Mother Nature’s sun-freckled skin. These aren’t your button-down agricultural technicians but rather dirt-worshipping devotees who’ve learned to interpret the whispers exchanged between loam and roots. Quality fruit, in their mystical lexicon, translates roughly to “grapes that have been properly seduced by the right combination of sunshine, rainwater, and the slight suspicion that something magical and possibly irreverent is transpiring just beneath the soil.”

Forget Chardonnay's polite afternoon tea. This Viognier is its edgy cousin, the one who shows up with a leather jacket and a motorcycle. Same creamy vibes and complex depths, but with a floral twist that'll make your taste buds do a double-take.

Pan-seared scallops with vibrant spring asparagus and peas, drizzled with a bright lemon-butter sauce, create a fresh and flavorful counterpoint to the richness of our full-bodied Viognier.

This Grenache Rosé knows what it's doing. Pale salmon? It's a classic. Crisp and dry? It's got standards. Red berries and citrus? It's got taste. Just chill it and let it work its magic. It's got this.

Watermelon feta salad + this rosé = perfect summer snack. Sweet, salty, refreshing – it's all there.

Ripe peach, honeysuckle sweetness, and a delicate hint of almond blossom sneak up on you, followed by a refreshing acidity that's like a palate cleanser in disguise. The finish? Let's just say it's a satisfyingly long dad joke that lingers.

This MRV and butternut squash risotto are a total power couple. The creamy texture and sweet earthiness of the risotto are a dream with the wine's richness, and the sage adds a fresh herbaceous note that brings out the wine's floral vibes.
