The Heart and Soul of Combel La Serre Walking through the rugged terrain of Cahors, one encounters Domaine Combel La Serre , a vineyard steeped in history. Jean-Pierre Ilbert, with hands that tell tales of decades caring for vines, began his journey in the 1970s. Embracing organic farming long before it was a trend, he laid the foundation for something extraordinary. Julien, his son, returned home after studying oenology (the science of wine and winemaking) and working in vineyards worldwide. With modern ideas and enthusiasm, he and his father combined tradition with innovation to create wines that are both elegant and retain the rustic charm of Cahors. The vineyards, spread across the limestone plateaus of Causse, have flourished under their care, respecting the natural rhythms and maximizing the potential of the terroir. Le Pur Fruit du Causse: A Living Testament to Terroir Le Pur Fruit du Causse , one of Domaine Combel La Serre’s flagship wines, reflects the Ilbert family's commitment to authenticity. Imagine the gentle sunlight caressing Malbec grapes, a breeze carrying the scent of wild herbs, and limestone soil imparting its pure mineral quality. This wine is likened to a symphony of nature with a touch of human craftsmanship. The wine explodes with flavors of ripe blackberries, hints of violet, and characteristic earthy tones. Each sip takes you through rolling hills and ancient vineyards, where tradition and innovation harmoniously blend. Swirling the wine in my glass, its aroma weaves a captivating tapestry of fruit and earth. On the palate, the wine is fresh, lively, and alluring, revealing new layers and nuances with each sip. A Way of Life For the Ilbert family, winemaking is truly a way of life. Their dedication and passion are evident in every aspect of their work, from tending the vines to crafting each bottle of wine. This is a place where the past is honored, the present celebrated, and the future embraced. Sitting with a glass of Le Pur Fruit du Causse, I am reminded of the timeless beauty of Cahors and the enduring spirit of its winemakers. With vibrant fruit flavors and deep earthiness, it serves as a tribute to the land and the people who pour their hearts into every bottle. Le Pur Fruit du Causse reminds us that in the world of wine, there is always something new to discover, something wonderful to savor in a simple, unpretentious way.

October 6th is upon us again—the day when wine enthusiasts around the world turn their attention to the underdog of the wine world: Orange Wine. Now, I know what you’re thinking— orange  wine? Is this some new trend? Have I missed something? Let me assure you, this isn’t a passing fad. In fact, orange wine has been around longer than your great-great-grandfather’s prized Bordeaux collection.   I remember my first encounter with orange wine. It was a humid summer evening at a tiny bar in Venice, Italy. The bartender slid a copper-colored glass my way with a sly grin. “Try this,” he said, “It’s what all the cool nonnas drink.” Skeptical but curious, I took a sip. It tasted like liquid poetry—notes of dried apricots and toasted hazelnuts, wrapped in a seductive grip of tannins. I was hooked. I left that night with a bottle under each arm and a head full of questions about this mysterious elixir. Fast forward to today, and orange wine has become a beloved companion in my cellar. So, if you haven’t jumped on this bandwagon yet, here are six solid reasons why you should uncork a bottle this October 6th and join the party. Château Haut Meyreau’s “Orange is the New Wine"ine Reason #1: A Wine for the Adventurous Palate Orange wines aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re bold, brash, and sometimes a little rough around the edges—like the rebellious cousin who shows up unannounced but always makes family gatherings more interesting. With their tannic structure and savory notes, these wines will challenge your palate in the most delightful way. Remember when you thought “Pet Nat” was a typo? Well, it wasn’t, and neither is orange wine. Made with white grapes that are fermented on their skins (just like reds), they blur the line between red and white, adding an extra dimension to your tasting experience. And if that doesn’t make you feel like a daring wine explorer, nothing will.   Reason #2: Food Pairing Perfection You think a buttery Chardonnay pairs well with food? Meet its new rival. Orange wine’s earthy, slightly oxidative flavors stand up to a variety of dishes, from nutty cheeses and roasted vegetables to dishes with a spicy kick. Case in point: I once paired a bottle of Château Haut Meyreau’s “Orange is the New Wine”  with a bubbling pot of spicy kimchi (yes, that’s Korean stew). The result? Magic. The wine’s bright acidity cut through the heat, while its slightly grippy texture added a surprising contrast to the rich, umami flavors of the dish. Moral of the story: Don’t shy away from unexpected pairings. Reason #3: A Conversation Starter at Any Gathering Show up at a dinner party with a bottle of orange wine, and watch as eyebrows rise and conversations start buzzing. “Wait, is this actually made from oranges?” “Why does it taste so different?” Orange wine is the ultimate ice-breaker. It gives you an opportunity to share a little wine knowledge and introduce something new. It’s more than just a drink; it’s a story in a glass. So go ahead, pour a round, and regale your friends with tales of ancient Georgian amphorae or monks fermenting wine in clay pots thousands of years ago. (Okay, maybe skip the part about monks if your friends are the rowdy type, but you get the idea.) Reason #4: A Nod to Ancient Winemaking Traditions Speaking of monks and clay pots, orange wine is as old as the hills—literally. It dates back 5,000 years to the vineyards of Georgia (the country, not the peach-laden state). Those clever Georgians discovered that leaving grape skins in contact with the juice created a wine with layers of flavor and complexity.   So, when you raise a glass of d.b Schmitt’s “Wild Pony,” you’re not just drinking wine; you’re connecting with a winemaking tradition that has stood the test of time. I’ve always found it fascinating that the same techniques that produced wine for ancient royalty can be enjoyed by us today—on a lazy Sunday afternoon no less! d.b Schmitt’s “Wild Pony”   Reason #5: Join a Global Celebration of a Rising Star By choosing orange wine on October 6th, you’re not just indulging in a delightful glass. You’re joining a global movement of wine lovers celebrating this unique style. It’s the wine version of “wearing pink on Wednesdays” but cooler and with a lot more tannins. And here’s a secret: the more you support it, the more these small, dedicated producers thrive. You’re not just choosing a bottle; you’re choosing to support a tradition and ensuring that more people have the opportunity to discover this liquid gem.   Conclusion So, whether you’re a seasoned orange wine fan or simply orange wine-curious, make a little room in your cellar (or fridge) for a few bottles this October 6th. It’s time to raise a glass, toast to the unexpected, and revel in the delightful surprise that is orange wine. You just might find yourself reaching for it long after the day has passed.

Sitting down at a restaurant, you’re handed the wine list. A mix of foreign-sounding names and intimidating prices, and suddenly, a simple dinner becomes a puzzle. But wine isn’t supposed to be stressful—it’s meant to be enjoyed. Let’s turn that daunting list into an adventure.   With modern wine lists offering a treasure trove of unique regions, varietals, and hidden gems, this is your chance to elevate the meal into something truly memorable. Let these simple tips guide you through the process. Avoid the Classic Choices You know the names—Pinot Noir, New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, maybe even a classic Sancerre. These wines are widely recognized for good reason, but they’re often marked up because they’re “safe bets.”   The trick? Look for lesser-known varietals and regions that can offer more excitement and better value. Ever heard of Sylvaner from German? Or Teroldego  from Italy? These wines might not roll off the tongue, but they’re often more interesting than the usual suspects, and far more rewarding for the price. When you see a wine you’ve never heard of nestled between the Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios, take a leap of faith—there’s usually a good reason it’s on the list. Price Isn’t Everything There’s always a temptation to grab the cheapest bottle on the list, but let’s be honest: it’s probably the most heavily marked up. On the other hand, the priciest bottle may not deliver the experience you're looking for either. The sweet spot? Mid-range wine. This is where passion and quality intersect—wines chosen because they offer the best balance of flavor and value. In this range, you’ll often find wines with personality, reflecting the care and curation of the restaurant’s wine buyer. These bottles don’t just tick a box—they’re chosen because they elevate the dining experience. So instead of going for extremes, aim for the middle ground where the magic happens. Forget About Vintages Unless you’re a wine collector searching for a rare, aged bottle, don’t get too caught up in the vintage. The year on the label doesn’t matter as much as you might think, especially with most restaurant wines. Lists are curated with wines that are ready to drink now. Recent vintages are often bright, fresh, and full of character, perfect for complementing your meal.   So don’t let the vintage numbers confuse you. Focus on the varietal and region, and trust that the wine has been selected for your immediate enjoyment. After all, wine is meant to be savored in the moment—not overanalyzed. Embrace the Sommelier You don’t have to be the expert—that’s what the sommelier is for. Sommeliers aren’t just there to push the most expensive bottle; they’re there to enhance your dining experience. Think of them as your personal wine guide. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or share what you’re in the mood for. Whether it’s a preference for something light and crisp or rich and bold, a good sommelier will match your preferences with something delightful and unexpected.   One of the best parts of dining out is the chance to let someone else do the hard work. Share the dish you’ve ordered or the general style of wine you enjoy, and trust the sommelier to lead you to the right bottle. They’ve curated the list with care, and their expertise can transform your meal into something truly special. Trust Your Gut At the end of the day, wine is about enjoyment. Don’t get bogged down by technicalities or feel pressured to choose the “right” wine. If a certain bottle or region piques your interest, go for it. Maybe it’s the way a description sounds or the fact that the wine comes from a region you’re curious about. Trust those instincts. Often, the best experiences come from a leap of faith, whether it’s picking a wine you’ve never tried or simply following your mood.   Wine doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to bring you pleasure. So lean into your preferences, trust your gut, and enjoy the adventure that comes with each glass. Even if you’re not a wine expert, you know what you like—let that guide you. The Joy of Discovery So next time you’re faced with a wine list, take a deep breath. This isn’t a quiz—it’s an opportunity to discover something new, to elevate your meal, and to find joy in a bottle you might not have picked before. Skip the usual choices, trust your instincts, and let the sommelier help you along the way. You might just find that wine is no longer the most daunting part of the meal, but the most exciting.   Cheers to enjoying the journey, one glass at a time. Macy Nguyen The Curious Cork Popper

This is not an "easy-drinking" wine. Nor is it a wine made by the million for supermarket shelves. Envínate, Palo Blanco, Valle de la Orotava, Islas Canarias, 2020 Some wines taste like a meticulously composed symphony, every note carefully placed. And then there are wines that are like a simple, honest sketch, capturing the raw spirit of the place they come from. The Envínate Palo Blanco is the second kind. On the Craftsmen Let's start with the people behind this wine. Envínate isn't some ancient, family-owned estate. It's the project of four friends: Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez . They met in university, and instead of dreaming of grand châteaux, they were drawn to old, forgotten vineyards in wild, unforgiving places. They work with grapes the way a true craftsman works with raw wood: with respect for its nature, not trying to change or meddle with it too much. Their philosophy: find a singular vineyard, care for it with maximum respect, and let it tell its own story. The wine, for them, is merely a translator. Roberto Santana, Alfonso Torrente, Laura Ramos, and José Martínez On the Island and the Unlikely Vines The Palo Blanco comes from the Valle de la Orotava, on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. It sounds odd, and it is. This is a place where vineyards cling to the steep slopes of a massive volcano, kissed by the salty winds of the Atlantic. The soil is black volcanic rock and ash. If you ever thought grapes only grew on clay or limestone, you have to think again. And here's the kicker: the Listán Blanco vines here are centuries old, having survived the phylloxera blight. They are trained in a method called "cordón trenzado" (braided cord), forming long, twisted branches that look like ropes on the ground. This isn't a marketing gimmick. It’s how the local people have done it for hundreds of years, and it works. On the Wine: Structure and Truth Now, about the 2020 Palo Blanco. When you taste it, don't look for sweet fruit or heavy vanilla notes. You won't find them. Instead, it opens with an aroma of wet flint, a hint of volcanic smoke, the saline taste of sea air, and a clean citrus peel. The acidity is sharp, almost "electric" as some critics have put it, and there's a startling clarity of mineral character. It's bone dry, clean, and has a long finish that reminds you of earth and sea. If you're looking for a complex wine, this is it. But not a complexity of blending, rather a natural complexity, where every flavor is a statement about a specific place and time. It doesn’t try to please you easily, but it will engage you and make you think. And that's the truth of it. Wine doesn't have to be artificially perfect. It just has to be true.

Raúl Pérez, Bierzo I don’t know about you, but to me wine is always a journey and Raúl Pérez is the kind of guide who leads you through foggy valleys, over rocky soils, into the very breath of the vineyard. He was born in 1972 in Valtuille de Abajo, a Bierzo village where the earth seems to exhale softly through each vine. His family had been making wine at Castro Ventosa for centuries. Yet from an early age, Raúl chose a slightly different path: not just making wine, but listening to it. By 2003, he stepped out of his family’s shadow with a dream distilled into one bottle: Ultreia . The word means “onward” in Latin, and it’s the compass he has followed ever since. Onward through forgotten parcels of twisted old vines. Onward into long fermentations with native yeasts. Onward beneath the sea itself, where Albariño once lay cradled by waves before returning, changed, to the cellar. He refuses to polish or tame the truth. No new oak to cover the fruit, no controlled temperatures to smooth out the edges—just old vines, wild ferments, and the song of Bierzo’s stones. As Raúl puts it: “Nurturing the land and allowing the land to express itself is the priority. Everything else follows.” Pedro Ballesteros, MW, called him “the archetype of the intuitive winemaking genius.”  France’s Bettane+Desseauve  named him Best Winemaker in the World in 2015 . But those accolades, impressive as they are, only skim the surface. The real story lies in the glass: wines that taste like weathered hillsides and ancient roots, wines that carry both risk and grace. So when you open a bottle from Raúl Pérez , you acttualy tasting the heartbeat of Bierzo. And Raúl? He’s the translator, guiding us not with flash or fanfare, but with truth.

So, guess who just got crowned Winemaker of the Year 2025  by La Revue du Vin de France ? Yep. Jérôme Bretaudeau . First time ever someone from humble little Muscadet takes the title. No château, no fanfare, no fancy PR team, just years of quiet work, biodynamic farming, and wines that speak louder than press releases ever could. It might look like a small headline, but for those of us who believe in natural wine  and honest, terroir-driven bottles — this is big. Like, historic  big. Jérôme Bretaudeau at the Winemaker of the Year 2025 ceremony A winemaker who started with… basically nothing Jérôme didn’t inherit vines or grow up surrounded by barrels. He wasn’t born into some big-name wine family. He learned the craft by working the vineyards in Gétigné, Muscadet. hands in the dirt, ears open, watching how the older guys did it. In 2001, he bought a few hectares of land. Quietly. No press release, no big dream speech. Just vines, some tools, and the idea that maybe, if he listened closely enough, the land would tell him what kind of wine it wanted to become. He started farming organically from the beginning. By 2009, it was official. And by 2016, he’d taken the leap into biodynamics.For Jérôme, a vine isn’t something to control. it’s something to understand.Most of the time, he just tries not to get in the way. More than just Melon de Bourgogne If you still think Muscadet is all about Melon de Bourgogne — think again. Or better yet, grab a bottle from Jérôme. Sure, he makes beautiful wines from the local classic. But he didn’t stop there. On his quiet corner of Muscadet, he’s also planting Chardonnay , Cabernet Franc , Pinot Gris , and even Savagnin a grape you'd expect in Jura, not here. And the way he works always the same philosophy: keep it honest, keep it simple . Amphora if it fits. Old barrels when they feel right. Sometimes concrete. He listens more than he controls. No filtering. No fining. No makeup. Just wine that feels alive, and doesn’t try to be anything but itself. Wine doesn’t have to be complicated to be deep It was one of those early summer evenings. Warm air, soft light. We opened a bottle of Macération an orange wine made from Pinot Gris , aged in amphora and old barrels to let the grape speak fully, without filters, noise, or polish. No background music. No fancy food. Just the quiet pop  of the cork, and that amber glow catching the last light of the day as it swirled in the glass. Domaine De Bellevue, Maceration, Muscadet, 2022 From the very first sip, the whole table went quiet.Not because it was a loud, flashy wine but because it made us pause. That “hold on… what is  that?” kind of pause. Dried orange peel, black tea, a gentle grip like biting into peach skin.And a fine mineral line that runs through it all subtle, steady, guiding the wine without ever pushing. Jérôme’s wines have their own rhythm. Especially the ones like Macération , fermented naturally, where he just lets the grape do the talking. For me, every sip feels like a quiet conversation about the land, the variety, and the hands that made it. You don’t need to understand everything to feel something. _Macy Nguyen Curious cork popper

Discover why this award-winning Prosecco DOC from one of Italy's oldest wineries deserves a place on your wine list. Valdo Prosecco pouring in Vietnam The Heritage Behind Every Bubble In the rolling UNESCO-listed hills of Valdobbiadene, a winemaking legacy began in 1926 when a group of enterprising Italian growers formed what would become one of Italy's most revered Prosecco houses. When the visionary Bolla family took ownership in 1938, renaming it Valdo Spumanti (Valdo for Valdobbiadene), they set in motion nearly a century of sparkling wine excellence that continues to this day. Today, under the leadership of President Pierluigi Bolla, Valdo maintains its position as Valdobbiadene's oldest Prosecco producer while crafting approximately 6 million bottles annually. This remarkable balance of heritage and scale speaks to a winery that honors tradition while embracing modernity.

If the old walls of a historic winery could speak, what stories would they whisper into your ear? Would they tell you of the generations of winemakers who toiled with passion and patience? Or perhaps, they’d speak of something darker—shadows that linger in the corners, and spirits who never left? In this spooky season, let's me take you on a journey through some of the world’s most haunted wineries, where the lines between wine and whispers from the past blur. These aren’t just places where vines grow; they’re where the past still breathes, waiting for the curious to listen. Pour yourself a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and let’s take a journey through five of the most haunted wineries across the globe. 1. Château de Brissac – Loire Valley, France Let’s begin in the Loire Valley. I’ve always had a soft spot for this region—its wines, its beauty, its history. But Château de Brissac . The first time I heard about La Dame Verte —Charlotte de Brézé—I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to walk through those halls, knowing her story. Betrayed by her husband and murdered in a jealous rage, her ghost is said to roam the halls, her disfigured face appearing to those who least expect it. I imagine sipping a glass of their wine, feeling the weight of her sorrow in the air, the taste of history on my tongue. 2. Beringer Vineyards – Napa Valley, California there’s Beringer Vineyards , where the Rhine House , feels less like a mansion and more like a time capsule. Frederick Beringer’s presence is still felt by many who visit, a ghost watching over the legacy he built. As the sunlight filters through the stained glass windows, it’s as though the past and present are connected by the vineyards that stretch out beyond the estate. Wine here doesn’t just carry the flavor of the grapes, it carries the echoes of those who made it possible. 3. Château du Taillan – Bordeaux, France Bordeaux, the heart of some of the world’s finest wines, has its own share of haunted tales. Château du Taillan   is home to La Dame Blanche  (The White Lady), a ghostly figure thought to be the spirit of a Moorish princess. After falling in love with a man deemed unworthy, she was cast out by her father, destined to wander the estate in search of her lost love. Some say they’ve seen her on misty mornings, drifting through the ancient cellars. The château’s white wine is named after her, and it’s said that her presence brings a strange calmness, as if she’s still searching, waiting for someone to tell her story. For visitors, every glass becomes a bridge to a time when the past and present exist in a delicate balance. 4. Buena Vista Winery – Sonoma, California In the rolling hills of Sonoma, Buena Vista Winery  has a history as rich as its wines. Founded by Agoston Haraszthy , the eccentric “Count of Buena Vista,” the winery is not only a cornerstone of Californian viticulture but also a hub of paranormal intrigue. The Count met a mysterious and grisly end—allegedly devoured by alligators during an expedition in Nicaragua—but his spirit seems to have returned to Buena Vista. Ghost hunters have reported shadowy figures dressed in 19th-century attire, footsteps on the roof, and strange lights flickering in the cellars. Paranormal experts have long considered it one of the most haunted spots in wine country. But perhaps that’s just part of its charm—there’s something undeniably thrilling about enjoying a glass of wine with a side of the supernatural. 5. Bartholomew Park Winery – Sonoma, California Neighboring Buena Vista, Bartholomew Park Winery   has a dark past all its own. Once a women’s prison, a hospital, and a morgue, the land where the winery now stands is said to be steeped in the energy of those who once lived (and died) there. Visitors and staff have reported hearing disembodied voices and music drifting from nowhere, as if the ghosts of the past are still playing their last songs. The cool cellars, with their stone walls and dim lighting, can make you feel as if you’re not alone. For those brave enough, the haunting becomes part of the experience—where the echoes of the past mingle with the flavor of the present, and every glass carries the weight of history. And now, as Halloween approaches, what better way to celebrate than with our own ghostly gathering? Join us for Hallowine  on October 31st , where we'll host a special wine tasting event at our cozy shop. You’ll enjoy five different wines paired with six mysterious snack experiences. But be warned—there may be more than just wine in the air. No trick, all treat, as we invite you to share in this eerie yet delightful evening. Don’t miss out on the fun, and maybe a little fright, as we toast to the spirits—both in the bottle and beyond!   Cheers to a hauntingly good time! Macy Nguyen The Curious Cork Popper
