Pali Wine Co Huntington Pinot Noir 2018
We loved the last vintage so much we bought all the 2018 that was available!
Huntington is crafted from premium Pinot Noir grapes grown on Pali Vineyard, carefully blended to express the unique flavors associated with Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. This wine is fermented in small lots, punched down up to three times daily during fermentation, the barrel-aged in 20% new French oak for 10 months.
Aromas of juicy blackberry, dried herbs and cured meats. On the palate, flavors of fresh strawberries and raspberries and a variety of baking spices, clove and cinnamon, along with earthy components of black tea and mushroom.

Isastegi Sagardo Naturala Dry Cider...$9.99 / 750ml bottle
Isastegi Sagardo Naturala Dry Cider...$14.99 / 4pk cans
Basque Cider
Isastegi is a refreshing, dry natural cider from the verdant mountains of the Basque Country, high above the Bay of Biscay along Spain’s rugged and green northern coast. Innovation meets 500 years of tradition, making the authentic San Sebastián cider experience portable.
Cider has been produced at the Isastegi farm since the 17th century as cider is an integral part of the Basque culture, where it is an everyday drink. Isastegi transcends the cider category, crafting a unique product born of the experience that comes from practices transmitted from generation to generation, paired with innovation. Isastegi cider is produced exclusively with organically-grown, native Basque apples farmed within a 15-kilometer radius of their cider house in Tolosa, in the countryside outside of San Sebastián.
Isastegi is also a founding member of the Gorenak Society and Euskal Sagardoa, a new PDO for Basque natural cider. It was created in 2017 and allows the use of about 115 local apple varieties grown in the Basque Autonomous Community. It certifies both the quality and origin of the apples and cider. Isastegi has also recently gained organic certification by ENEEK (Basque Organic Regulatory Council) and does not add sulfites to their cider at any point during the process.
Basque Sagardo is traditionally served cold, poured into a wide-mouth tumbler from an arm’s length a little bit at a time to give the cider its signature creamy, effervescent mousse.
Vinification – Each lot is fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. After fermentation, each component is tasted for quality, and the lots are blended together in kupelas (old, large oak cider barrels) for several months. Isastegi cider is bottled fresh from barrel without fining or filtration before each shipment.
Apples: A blend of over a dozen native Basque apple varieties, farmed within a 15-kilometer radius of their cider house in Tolosa
Vinification: After fermentation in stainless steel the cider is blended in kupelas (old, large, oak cider barrels) it is bottled fresh and without filtration before each shipment.
Aging: Blended in large, old oak kupela barrels

SO2: No added sulfites, less than <5 mg/l total

It's Hard Cider Season and There's Only 1 Bottle You Need -- Bon Appetit
It's extremely affordable and not sweet at all.
If you think you don't like hard cider, you're probably wrong. Sure, you might not like the syrupy-sweet stuff you accidentally ordered at that one pub that one time, but calling off cider as a whole, just because you don't like one kind? That's ridiculous. Ciders you get on tap at your average bar are probably of the English style, but there's more out there. To shed that negative association you have with sweet ciders, take a step into the world of Basque cider. It will change you.
Basque Country lies in northern Spain, and yeah, this is the region where Basque cider originated. Ciders of this style (which aren't all necessarily made in Spain) aren’t like the traditional English-style ciders you’ve most likely tried before, if you've had Strongbow or Woodchuck. Basque cider is bone-dry, acidic, and funky as hell, which means that if you’re generally into kombucha, natural wine, or sour and wild ales, you’ll be all about this stuff. If you're not, you will be soon.
Basque cider goes through a completely natural fermentation process, where no yeast is added, which creates that funky flavor. It tastes something like Granny Smith apple juice that was left in a barn for a few days (in a very, very good way), and it’s exceptionally versatile when it comes to food pairing, complementing the flavors of a buttery roasted chicken just as well as intricate curries or fatty fried fish tacos.
And yes, I have a recommendation for a bottle to pick up. Isastegi Sidra Natural is where you should start. This still, lip-smacking cider isn’t just delicious. It’s welcoming, too. Isastegi is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Picasso or Tabasco or The Ramones. It’s the thing that gets you into craft beer or modern art or hot sauce or punk. But it’s made from Spanish apple juice, blended in large wooden barrels, and leads to serious cider curiosity. It grabs hold of your shoulders, looks through your eyes and into your soul, and gently says, “There is more for you to explore. Go.”
I should also mention that it’s affordable. Like, way more affordable than you’d think. A 750ml bottle will run you somewhere between 8 and 10 bucks, which makes it a perfect contender for a by-the-case pick-up. Never buy just one bottle. You will want two. Or 12.
But it’s what you do once you have the bottle that makes the experience special. There’s a specific way that Basque ciders like Isastegi are traditionally poured. It might seem intimidating, but trust me, you’ll get the hang of it immediately. Start pouring the bottle low, then slowly raise the bottle as high as you can, until you get to about a meter or two (your wingspan) between the glass and bottle. The whole point is to get that cider as frothy as possible when it hits the glass, essentially carbonating it via force. And make sure not to fill up your glass. The Spaniards only pour about three or four sips at a time, pouring frequently and with gusto.
Its flavor is life-changing and exciting. You can buy it by the case, without worrying about acquiring new debt. You can drink it while you’re eating just about anything. And you pour it in a way that is 1) impressive and 2) a damn good time. Basically, Isastegi Sidra Natural is here to party. And I’ll be RSVP’ing “Hell yes.”

TEMPRANILLO SAMPLER PACK
TEMPRANILLO
Also known as Tinta del País, Aragonez, Tinta Roriz, Tinto de Toro, Tinto Fino, Cencibel, and Ull de Llebre
Tempranillo is a black grape variety widely grown to make full-bodied red wines in its native Spain. Its name is the diminutive of the Spanish temprano ("early"), a reference to the fact that it ripens several weeks earlier than most Spanish red grapes. Tempranillo has been grown on the Iberian Peninsula since the time of Phoenician settlements. It is the main grape used in Rioja, and is often referred to as Spain's noble grape. The grape has been planted throughout the globe's wine regions.
In 2015, Tempranillo was the fourth most widely planted wine grape variety worldwide with 232,561 hectares (574,670 acres) under vine, of which 87% was in Spain where it is the most planted red grape variety.
Tempranillo is an early ripening variety that tends to thrive in chalky vineyard soils such as those of the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. In Portugal, where the grape is known as Tinto Roriz and Aragonez, it is blended with others to produce port wine. -- Info from Wikipedia

2019 Tiza La Mancha Tempranillo...$11.99

The best Cencibel (Tempranillo) vineyards are selected for Tiza. Most are bush vines at 700 meters above sea level with an average age of 30+ years.

2016 Muga Rioja Reserva...$29.99
70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 10% Mazuelo & Graciano
This is really tight and powerful with gorgeous tannins and solid fruit. Full body. Tight and composed. Wet earth, smoked meat and hints of black truffles. Very long and powerful. Wonderful length. Real Rioja. One of the top best-value, high-quality reds in Spain. Drink or hold
Rated 95/100 James Suckling
The largest volume of the Muga winery is for the red blend 2016 Reserva, a wine that is sold as 2016 Crianza in Spain (for commercial reasons). This has the Muga style and the imprint of the cool and fresh 2016 vintage, one of the best vintages of recent years. 2016 is also a year of harmony and freshness that reminds me a little of the 2010. But the Muga family thinks it's somewhere between 2010 and 2011, because for them 2011 is not so warm, even if it generally produced quite ripe wines. It has a mixture of red and black fruit with sweet spices that are very integrated and in harmony. The palate is silky and clean, and the tannins are round and gentle. A delicious Reserva/Crianza.

2017 Booker Vineyard Tempranillo...$49.99
100% Tempranillo
Along with Epoch, Jensen makes one of the finest Tempranillo out there. The 2017 Tempranillo offers terrific blue fruits, pepper, violets, and spice-driven aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, with remarkable purity, plenty of classic Tempranillo tannins, and a great finish. It has upfront charm given its balance, yet I suspect it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age.
