Foligodia Ascoltati Italian Red Wine Blend
A fun and fruit-forward red wine, Ascoltati offers an immediate burst of juicy strawberry and floral notes, reminiscent of fresh strawberry juice and a hint of lavender. With a medium acidity and very low tannins, this "glou glou" style wine is deliciously drinkable but still finishes clean with a distinct mineral character. Crafted by Foligodia, this low-alcohol blend of Merlot, Rondinella, and other grapes is a perfect wine for any occasion and is particularly refreshing when served chilled.

Vigna Petrussa | Refosco Red Wine
Hilde, the wine producer, mellows out the sharp tannins which are common in Refosco, a red grape native to Friuli Venezia Giulia, by air drying the grapes before starting the wine making process. This, along with 2 years of aging in new oak, help produce a full bodied, smooth Refosco wine with a fruity freshness, making it great for drinking on its own and with food.
Vigna Petrussa is a certified sustainable and biodiverse women-owned winery.

Ojai Pacific View | Dolcetto California
This mother-daughter winery keep hitting home runs with their ‘experimental’ 1 acre vineyard of dolcetto on a mountaintop in upper Ojai, California, which started with a vine plant they brought back with them from Piedmont Italy over 10 years ago. Their super small production Dolcetto experiment is a success, backed up with back-to-back gold medals on their 2019 & 2020 vintage, and then winning Double Gold and Best of Class in the International Womens Winemakers competition.
The latest 2020 vintage produced only 23 cases and was aged for over a year in neutral oak. It is fresh and juicy with rich wild berry cassis-like taste. It's an approachable yet complex with a mineral-saline finish.
A dark purple color, the nose is complex with a mix of plum, herbs, flint and vanilla spice. The fruit and terroir of this old world new world dolcetto red wine that really stands out, thanks to the high altitude and marine fossil soil of this wine estate in upper Ojai.
