Hello Caviste folks:
Happy Leaf Season! We look forward to helping you with your holiday wine needs. From large formats for family get togethers to special gift bottles for the wine friend in your life.
TONIGHT Friday, November 10 We have Margherita from La Casaccia for an in-person winemaker tasting event. We've selected 4 of her wines to pour tonight and they will pair nicely with the small plates later in the evening. It promises to be a fun way to start the weekend. We also have four other tastings lined up in the coming weeks; from Burgundy vs Bordeaux to Piedmont to Greek wines.
Speaking of holidays, we will be closed on Thanksgiving day and will reopen on Friday and Saturday for normal hours. Hope to see you soon!

We began our bottle shop 14 years ago asking ourselves whether we knew enough people who love dry rosés. We believe rosés are the perfect companion all year, with one style for each occasion and season. We have light and crisp, as well as full-bodied ones that will satisfy the red wine drinker in your family. Here are two:
Petrilli, Rosado, $15
Nero di Troia | Puglia, Italy
Underlying full flavors, savory black cherry, structured tannins, dry, wild strawberries, pairs with your favorite stuffing, deviled eggs, or as a first glass for a larger group.
Víñatígo Rosado $28
Listan Nego | Canary Islands
Juan Jesus, winemaker, Tenerife Island native, intent on preserving over 80 indigenous varietals; from ungrafted vines, over 100-years old, deep-fruited, medium-bodied tannins, volcanic minerality, spice, amaro, this is a serious rosé; pairs well with turkey and company

Special Tasting
with
Winemaker Margherita Rava
of La Casaccia
Friday November 10
4:30-6:30pm, drop-in
|
|
At La Casaccia, the energetic and talented Rava family makes clean, terroir-driven wine in the hilltop village of Cella Monte (located in the Italy's Piemonte region). La Casaccia literally translates to "sh*!?y-looking house," which is a fond reference to the 17th-century farmhouse that Margherita Rava and her parents restored. The farmhouse is built from the rock that was excavated (by hand!) from their cellar, located directly beneath the house.
Their approach to wine is down-to-earth, unpretentious, and joyful; La Casaccia makes the kind of wine you find on a table crowded with friends and family. But they sacrifice no quality or precision along the way - their wines offer the nuanced minerality that the region is known for.
Margherita Rava embodies the energy and intellectual curiosity of La Casaccia, and we're so excited that she's here!
- Anna Kasibhatla of Piedmont Wine Imports
Here's what Margherita will be pouring:
“Charno” Chardonnay Piemonte DOC
“Poggeto” Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese DOC
“Giuanìn” Barbera del Monferrato DOC
Vino Spumante Metodo Classico Brut
(We will have bar snacks at 5:30)
