The Flesh and Bone is a lees-aged flaxen sparkling cider grown from our vineyard in a green and gold valley of rolling hills that faces the setting sun.

It is an ancestral methode second fermentation in bottle seeded with cider made from many different and wild cultivated varieties of garnet-kissed apples grown in our home farm orchard, an homage to an old-fashioned style of cider fermented on wine skins called vin ëd pom.

This sparkling cider is a true marriage between the diversity of fruit, our geology, geography, weather, history and social culture, and the hand of the vignerone(ne), our unique terroir.

Hand-harvested and unfiltered, fermented on glimmering skins, this blonde-colored wine bubbles like a thousand starts seen in the evening gloaming.

La garagista | Loups~Garoux | Vermont Red Wine by Deirde Heekin | 2016

La garagista | Loups~Garoux | 2016 | 12% alc./vol | $33.99/750ml

We are most delighted to announce the arrival of the 2016 La garagista Loups~Garoux.  A stunning Vermont red wine by our friends Deirde Heekin & crew over in Barnard we again are able to loving share with you.

From the bottle:

La garagista: n. one who makes wine in a garage; one who works in a garage; one who uses all parts of a garage.

Loups~Garoux

Vermont Rouge = Red Wine

Loups~Garoux is the French name for mythical wolf creatures that are not cursed, but blessed.  One is born a Loup-Garou and can turn at will. They are elegant, dark wolves to behold and remind us of other mythical creatures like those in the legends of the Black Wolves of the Chateauguay, the wild alpine terrain that defines our homefarm and vineyard landscapes.  Loups~Garoux speak of the woodland and are mercurial in nature.  Hand-harvested and unfiltered, this red wine hails from our alpine vineyard in Vermont on the edge of a lake, grown among wild purple aster and white fleabane.

From the gorgeous bottles our friends sent over…

ReMix | Petillant Naturel – White Sparkling Wine

B-SIDE | ft. m.guillot & d.heekin

ReMix is a sparkling tine born of a deep friendship between two families from two countries.  For a long time now Domaine Guillot~Broux and La garagista at Domaine de la Forêt have been looking for ways to collaborate, ever since a French vigneron and his family came to Vermont for a summer holiday for the trout fishing and the fresh green countryside and met a burgeoning American vigneron{ne} and her chef husband, and that vigneron{ne} and chef traveled to southern Burgundy to learn the mysteries and art of pruning.  Finally, through happy accidents and the threads of the Fates, this bottle was born, a conversation in amity and landscape; an ongoing dialogue in wine.  – Deirde Heekin & Caleb Barber

La garagista | Vinu Jancu | Vermont La Crescent | $36.99

La garagista | Vinu Jancu | Vermont La Crescent | 12,5 alc./vol. | $36.99 / 750ml

It is our great pleasure to announce the latest release of craveable wine from La garagista…  Vinu Jancu.

From the vino vessel:

La garagista:  n.  one who makes wine in a garage; one who works in a garage; one who uses all parts of a garage.

Vinu Jancu

Vinu Jancu is an old Sicilian name for white wines made in an orange wine manner.  This style has a deep nobility with a long history in the Eurasian production areas of Armenia & Georgia, but also found in Italy, Sicily, and other alpine areas of Europe.  The white wine grapes are treated like red grapes: the juice ferments on the grape skins and remain sur lie long afterward, taking on more color (hence the orange), tannin, texture, and aromatics.

This Vinu Jancu is made from La Crescent, a descendant of Muscat de Hambourg, and grown on the hills and valleys of Vermont.  Hand-picked and hand-sorted, this honest, unfiltered wine was crushed traditionally and fermented on native yeast at our cantina, and remained sur lie for the winter in glass demijohns.
