Domaine Stephane Rocher Grappe de Bulle Brut Nature NV
• Anjou, France
• 100% Cabernet Franc (Blanc de Noir)
• Organic
Stéphane Rocher is a pioneering vigneron in the heart of the Loire’s Anjou region, who left a Parisian communication career in 2008 to return to his native terroir. In 2010 he acquired the old farm of Ferme du Mont Benault in Faye-d’Anjou and began wine production in 2011. Covering about 6.5 hectares of organically farmed vines, he cultivates Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau and others on schist, rhyolite and sandstone soils. His cellar philosophy is minimal-intervention: hand-harvested fruit, native yeasts, low or no added sulphur, no fining or filtration when possible. As a member of the “En Joue Connection” collective of young natural winegrowers in Anjou, he strives to produce approachable, expressive wines that reflect the land and invite a wide audience in.
Tasting Notes: These traditional method bubbles are un-fined, unfiltered, and zero dosage. It shines with red apple, grapefruit, chalk, and brioche aromas. Bone-dry, saline, and elegant, its precise, toasty finish rivals top Champagnes! Pairs beautifully with Thanksgiving oysters, creamy mashed potatoes, or herb-roasted turkey.

Las Jaras Wines is the playful yet purpose-driven wine project founded by winemaker Joel Burt and comedian/food-lover Eric Wareheim.

Wareheim brings creative energy to branding, design and audience engagement. Las Jaras Slipper Sippers celebrates the Beaujolais-inspired nouveau style through evolved carbonic maceration.

2023 Borgo Savaian Between Us Skin Contact
• Friuli- Venezia Giulia, Italy
• Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc
• Organic
Borgo Savaian, founded in 1960 by Bruno Bastiani in the heart of Cormòns (Friuli Venezia Giulia), is a proud family run estate now in its third generation. Spanning roughly 30 hectares of vineyards between the gravelly plains of the Isonzo and the marl rich slopes of the Collio around Monte Quarin, the estate masterfully blends historic soils with contemporary viticulture. With grandchildren Stefano and Rosanna (and Valentina) now guiding the business, tradition meets innovation: organic farming, indigenous grape varieties, and elegant expression of terroir. Borgo Savaian’s wines—particularly its aromatic whites and refined reds—are celebrated for their clarity, minerality and sense of place, reflecting the rugged yet generous land of Friuli.
Tasting Notes: This wine opens with delicate orange gold hues, aromas of bruised peach, white tea and cashew, and a savory tea leaf edge. Saline minerality meets ripe orchard fruit on the palate—zesty, textured and bone dry. It pairs beautifully with herb roasted turkey, browned butter sweet potatoes, sage laden stuffing and nutty Parmesan garlic green beans—bringing freshness and structure to a rich Thanksgiving table.
