It’s our wine of the week! Who doesn’t love a good comeback story? The reds of the Piedmont should need no introduction. Barbera is the red of everyday drinking, but for some of the most exquisite wines on the planet, one reaches for the Nebbiolo made by the great producers of Barolo and Barbaresco. What about the whites though? Gavi gives us some wonderful bottlings of Cortese, and Arneis can be found throughout, but what if there was a white that rivaled the complexity of Nebbiolo, as the producer of our wine of the week believes? Timorasso is a native white varietal to the Piedmont (fun fact: Leonardo da Vinci occasionally worked as a wedding planner, and is on record for having selected bottles of “timuras” now Timorasso). In 1988 a winemaker named Walter Massa, from the Colli Tortonesi, a region of the Piedmont next to Lombardy and little renowned for fine wine, saw some promise from the old varietal that was barely planted by anyone, and began to experiment. It took a few decades, but other producers began to notice his results and began experimenting themselves. What started as a rescue mission by one man has now resulted in some of the finest white wine coming out of Italy.

Our example of Timorasso this week comes to us courtesy of La Spinetta. Giorgio Rivetti is the producer that calls this the “white Nebbiolo” and despite all the difficulties of its cultivation, he understands how much it delivers when crafted with expertise. The wine only sees stainless, with about 7 months on the lees, it’s then filtered and bottled where it rests another 4 months before release. There is a wonderful amount going on with this wine. It delivers citrus and orchard fruit, as well as white blossoms, chamomile and perhaps a little almond. It has a marvelous and slightly chalky texture. We had to direct import this, and consequently don’t have a lot in stock. We would therefore encourage you to act with some haste if you want to get your lips on it. It can be your’s to drink on-premise for $53.- or 40% off to-go!

It’s our wine of the week! Among the foundational figures of Oregon wine, few have had such a profound influence as the Lett family of the Eyrie Vineyards. In1965, David and Diana established one of the first wineries in the Willamette, with a belief that the region could produce world class cool climate wines, while all the experts in California were telling them it couldn’t be done. Their work proved transformative for themselves and the region, demonstrating that the valley’s climate and soils were well suited to nuanced, and age-worthy Burgundian varietals. What they are solidly known for of course are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, but we’re looking at something a little more off-beat and fun this week.

Chasselas is the most planted white grape in its native Switzerland, and though it sees some traditional vinification in the neighboring Jura region of France, for most of the country it’s looked down upon as pedestrian, and most commonly encountered as table grapes. Our wine of the week makes us realize how much we’ve all been missing out on this fantastic varietal. Eyrie Vineyards has 5 certified organic estate vineyards, and the one that is devoted to some experimentation is the Sisters Vineyard where our wine of the week comes from. They are absolute sticklers for the health of the vines and soil. No pesticides or herbacides, no irrigation, no tilling and they hand harvest everything. The wine is all stainless and sees 11 months on the lees, with full natural malolactic fermentation. We love this wine for it’s refreshing quality, but also just it’s wonderful uniqueness. It simply doesn’t quite taste like any other white we’ve had. Come drink a bottle on-premise for $48.- or 50% off to-go!
