Some wineries arrive with a lot of noise.Big statements. Big adjectives. Big promises. Valle Reale doesn’t do that. You taste it and you get it. The wine is clear. The choices feel practical. The style isn’t trying to impress you. It’s trying to be right. And for Glouglou, that’s the whole point. A short history that actually matters Valle Reale is based in Abruzzo, central Italy, near the town of Popoli —a place where the landscape starts to feel more mountain than seaside. It’s not the Abruzzo of postcard sunshine. It’s Abruzzo with altitude, wind, and nights that cool down properly. Their story begins in the late 1990s . The origin isn’t “we wanted to build a luxury brand.” It’s closer to: there was land, there were old vines, and it felt worth doing the work.  They started by restoring old vineyards around Popoli, then slowly built out what became Valle Reale. One detail we love: they’re connected to an old vineyard planted in 1960  (San Calisto is often mentioned as a reference point). Old vines aren’t a marketing line here. They’re a teacher. They set the standard for balance, for yield, for patience. If you’ve ever tried a wine that tastes like it’s rushing, this is the opposite. Valle Reale also sits in a part of Abruzzo that’s shaped by protected nature. You feel that in the way they talk about farming: more attention to what the place can handle, less obsession with pushing volume. That’s the kind of “history” we care about at Glouglou. Not the dramatic kind. The practical kind. What they’re like as a producer Here’s the clean version: They farm with a strong nature-first mindset (often described as organic / biodynamic in spirit and practice). They lean toward precision  over power. They don’t dress the wines up with too much makeup. In Glouglou language: they make bottles that behave. You don’t need a lecture to enjoy them. But if you pay attention, there’s plenty going on: texture, freshness, and a finish that doesn’t fall apart. The two bottles we brought in Trebbiano d’Abruzzo & Montepulciano d’Abruzzo We brought in two classics from Valle Reale, both labeled Abruzzo DOC  and both meant for real-life drinking. This is important: these are not “look-at-me” wines. They’re “open-me” wines. 1) Trebbiano d’Abruzzo (White) Trebbiano is a grape that can go two ways. It can become background music—fresh, polite, forgettable.Or it can become the kind of white wine you keep refilling because it has shape. Valle Reale’s Trebbiano sits in the second camp. What you should expect: Citrus and orchard fruit  (think lemon peel, pear, maybe a hint of stone fruit) Herbal edges  (not perfume, more like dried greens) A finish that leans salty / stony , like the wine spent time around rocks and decided to remember them The best part is the texture. It’s not oily. It’s not heavy. It’s more like: the wine has a spine. It holds itself together. How to drink it: Chill it properly. Don’t be shy. Pour it cold, then let it warm a little in the glass. If it feels tight at first, give it ten minutes. It usually opens up with air. Pairing (the “don’t overthink it” list): Steamed seafood, grilled fish, oysters if you’re lucky Anything with lemon, herbs, olive oil Light Vietnamese dishes that sit on freshness: gỏi, seafood, rice paper rolls, simple broths If you like whites that feel clean but not thin, this is your bottle. 2) Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (Red) Montepulciano can be deep, dark, and generous. Sometimes it can also be a bit too much if it’s made in a heavy style. Valle Reale keeps it grounded. Their Montepulciano is still unmistakably Montepulciano—dark fruit, color, warmth—but it doesn’t drag. It moves. It finishes. What you should expect: Dark cherry, blackberry, plum skin A little earth / dried herb in the background Soft tannin  that feels present but not aggressive Freshness that makes you want another sip, not another nap Important serving note:This red is better slightly chilled . Not fridge-cold. Just cool enough that the fruit gets tighter and the tannin feels smoother. If you’ve ever had Montepulciano too warm and thought, “why is this so loud?”—this solves it. Pairing (again, real-life): Grilled meats, smoky dishes, BBQ Tomato-based pastas Vietnamese food with char, caramel, umami: thịt nướng, bò lá lốt, anything that’s been kissed by fire It’s a red that works on a weekday, but doesn’t feel like a compromise. Why Valle Reale fits Glouglou We don’t bring in wines just because they’re “well-known” or because the label looks good on a shelf. We bring them in because they make sense when you open them. Valle Reale fits because the wines are: Clear  (you can taste place and grape without decoding) Human  (they feel made for drinking, not for posing) Confident without ego  (no need for a speech) They’re also wines you can share with different kinds of drinkers: The friend who wants “something easy” The friend who likes details The friend who just wants a bottle that doesn’t disappoint Same bottle. Different people. It still works. That’s a good sign. If you want the quickest shortcut Here’s the simplest way to choose: If you want fresh + textured + salty finish  → Trebbiano If you want juicy red + soft tannin + chillable  → Montepulciano If you tell us what’s on your table, we’ll do the pairing part for you.No drama. No upsell. Just a bottle that fits. Closing (soft, as always) Valle Reale is new to our shelves, but it doesn’t feel like a “new arrival” in the trendy sense. It feels like a producer that should have been here already. Two bottles. Simple names. Good farming. Clear drinking. Come by when you’re in the mood.Or message us what you’re eating tonight. White first, or red?

For us, Tết Nguyên Đán is far more than just a holiday. It is a moment for reflection, gratitude, and exchanging the finest gestures. A Tet Gift 2026 must transcend mere cost; it must be an item carrying a message of Profound Appreciation ( Trân Quý ). It needs to be sophisticated enough for the ancestral altar, distinguished enough for business partners, and, most importantly, delightful enough to pour and share in the sacred moment of Giao Thừa (Vietnamese New Year’s Eve). We choose L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau  because it strikes this perfect balance. It is an authentic  Bordeaux—unpretentious, yet possessing a soul, a quality deeply valued in Vietnamese culture L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau: Harmonious Flavor for the Vietnamese Tết Table Hộp rượu vang Invindia In Bordeaux, wine is made for the table, to accompany a meal, to facilitate conversation. In Vietnam, the Tết feast ( mâm cỗ Tết ) boasts a wonderful diversity: from the delicate flavor of boiled chicken, the richness of caramelized pork ( thịt kho ), to the gentle acidity of pickled onions ( dưa hành ). A wine that is too heavy, or overly tannic, would utterly destroy this harmony. The Required Elegance:  The L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau offers precisely what is needed. It presents a soft structure (Medium Body) and well-rounded tannins. Its fruit profile is bright, fresh, and never overpowering. It glides across the palate gently and subtly, without dominating the food's flavors. Crucially, it helps to 'cleanse' the palate—a key factor for an extended reunion dinner. The Story:  This bottle carries the 200-year legacy of Château Haut-Meyreau. Just as we preserve the traditional Bánh Chưng  recipe across generations, this winery safeguards its land and traditions (demonstrated by the HVE certification). This shared commitment to heritage also offers a silent toast to prosperity and enduring longevity through the years." Tet Gift 2026 L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau - quà tết 2026 A Bordeaux wine with clear origins and consistent quality, like L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau, is a safe and meaningful choice. It doesn't need to be a First Growth to signify prestige; it requires reliability and elegance in design. To give a wine that is easy to drink and appreciate is to offer comfort, not a test of wine knowledge. Let this bottle be a quiet yet sincere companion, connecting the stories shared at the beginning of Spring, honoring our traditions Get Quotation

If you’ve ever wondered about this elusive thing we call the soul of wine, the part no lab test can measure, then make your way to Touraine and step inside the cellar of Jean-François Mérieau . This is a story written long before us. The cellar is carved deep into the rock, perched above the Cher River, and I swear the air still carries the scent of centuries. The walls are rough, scarred with graffiti left by American soldiers in the First World War: a reminder that this land has stood firm through upheaval after upheaval. Today, it’s where Jean-François, the fourth generation, works tirelessly. Những hàng nho xanh mướt của Domaine Mérieau trải dài ở thung lũng Loire, vùng Touraine. Ảnh sưu tầm Touraine Before It Got “Polished” Jean-François is no armchair winemaker. He’s out in the vines, restless, always searching for new ways to honor grapes that were here long before we ever heard of “Parker points.” That’s why his collection excites me: Sauvignon that cuts sharp without a trace of flab, Chenin that hums with fullness and life, rustic Gamay and sturdy Côt, and above all, those venerable old vines of Pineau d’Aunis, carrying themselves with dignity. Chân dung Jean-François Mérieau, nhà sản xuất rượu vang, đứng giữa vườn nho tại Domaine Mérieau, Touraine. Ảnh sưu tầm I like how importer Jon-David Headrick puts it: “friendly at the table and on the wallet.”  It sounds plain, but it’s the highest compliment. It reminds us that good wine belongs at everyday tables, not locked away like a luxury item to be admired from a distance. Even Wine Doctor, never one for wasted words, confessed that Jean-François’ lineup “oozed Ligérian class.” And then he admitted to buying extra bottles of Cent Visages 2018 for his own cellar. A purchase says more than a paragraph of praise. The Truth Lies in the Roots At Domaine Mérieau , you won’t hear talk about percentages of new oak or the latest designer yeast. Here, vines are worked by hand instead of herbicides. Grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation happens naturally. Three generations still show up in the winery, not for magazine photo spreads, but because that’s simply how this family has always done it, for over a century. That’s honesty. And when you pour a bottle of Mérieau, whether white, red, or sparkling, you taste that startling rightness. They’re not trying to impress you. They’re just there, part of the meal, part of the conversation, part of the warmth between friends. Glouglou’s Note:  These are the bottles we search for, the ones that carry the smell of soil, of stone, of memory unfiltered. Like Wine Doctor, you might want to tuck away a few for yourself. Life is already too full of things that have been “polished up.” Macy Nguyen Curious cork popper!
