Whoopi Asolo Prosecco DOCG Superior 750ml
Whoopi — Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut Biologico 2024
Whoopi Prosecco is produced by Sacchetto, a certified organic estate in the Colli Asolani — the Asolo Hills of the Veneto, a subzone that earned its own Superiore DOCG designation precisely because its hillside vineyards, cooler temperatures, and volcanic soils produce Glera of greater complexity and finesse than the broader Prosecco DOC. This is a limited first edition bottling: 100% organic Glera, farmed without synthetic inputs, and vinified to preserve the grape's natural aromatic freshness. Pale straw yellow in the glass, with a fine, persistent perlage.
The nose is fresh and aromatic — green apple, white peach, wildflowers, and a bright citrus lift. On the palate it is crisp and lively, with ripe pear, citrus, and a touch of honey, perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is clean and elegant, with lingering effervescence and subtle fruity notes. This is Prosecco as it should be: light, precise, and genuinely food-friendly.
- Producer: Sacchetto (Whoopi), Colli Asolani, Veneto, Italy
- Appellation: Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG
- Varietal: 100% Glera (certified organic)
- Style: Brut Biologico, sparkling
- Size: 750ml
- Tasting Notes: Green apple, white peach, wildflowers, pear, citrus, honey, elegant finish
- Serve: Well chilled, 6–8°C
- Best Paired With: Aperitif, fresh seafood, shellfish, soft cheeses, light antipasti
Organic Glera from the Asolo hills — Whoopi Prosecco Superiore is the step up from everyday Prosecco that actually tastes like one.
La Fête du Rosé Côtes de Provence ROSÉ 2024 750ml
La Fête du Rosé · Côtes de Provence · Rosé · Provence, France · 2024 · 750ml
La Fête du Rosé was born from a moment of pure discovery. Founder and CEO Donae Burston was celebrating his 30th birthday at the legendary Nikki Beach Club in Saint-Tropez when he first encountered the pale, elegant rosés of Côtes de Provence — wines he had mistaken for white Zinfandel, but which turned out to be something far more refined. From that first taste, the seeds for La Fête were planted. Today, the brand is one of the most celebrated Black-owned wine labels in the United States, sourcing from the heart of Provence and bringing the spirit of the French Riviera to a new generation of rosé drinkers. A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah — the classic Provencal trio — vinified to the pale, dry, food-friendly style that has made Côtes de Provence the world’s benchmark for rosé. At $24.99, this is summer in a bottle.
Pale salmon-pink in the glass with a fresh, inviting nose of forest fruits, wild strawberry, and a distinctive note of salinity — like a summer evening on the beach in Saint-Tropez. On the palate: perfectly balanced and vibrant, with flavors of strawberry, grenadine, and red currant, carried by crisp acidity and a remarkably fresh, clean finish. Serve well-chilled as an aperitif, alongside grilled fish, summer salads, charcuterie, or soft cheeses. The rosé for every occasion, every table, every season.

House of Brown is a second-generation wine label under the BROWN Napa Valley umbrella, which also includes Chaos Theory and is anchored by flagship Brown Estate.
The Brown family have been in Napa since 1980. Siblings Deneen, Coral, and David began making wine in 1996. Raised by two medical professionals in a “Blue-Zone” household in Southern California, they all pitched in at their parents’ medical clinic. There, they adopted what would become a guiding principle in their wine business: Do no harm.
The creation of House of Brown was inspired by an extraordinary community of wine consumers who for over two decades had been finding themselves at home with Brown Estate, and in 2017 began assembling at the family’s then newly opened Brown Downtown Napa tasting room. This period marked an evolution in wine consumer demographics, with the industry at large seeing an influx of young and culturally diverse enthusiasts coming to the fore — dynamics that have been manifest at Brown for decades.
House of Brown was established in 2018 to expand access to the Brown wine experience, then nearly 25 years strong. The label designs are an homage to the brand’s Feel Seen ethos, and to the sense of welcome and belonging that are hallmarks at Brown. Produced with the same commitment to purity and balance that is foundational to Brown Estate, House of Brown wines are regeneratively farmed, certified sustainable, and vegan-friendly.
House of Brown is 100% family-owned + 100% Black-owned, and the brand is women-led.

Charles Woodson INTERCEPT 2018 Limited Edition, Hall of Fame Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker Description
Charles Woodson’s Intercept Wines has released a one-time, Limited-Edition Hall of Fame Cabernet Sauvignon to commemorate Charles Woodson’s enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 2019, Woodson launched the Intercept Wines brand and the team prepared to have the 2018 vintage ready for 2021 should he become a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
“When we found out Charles was eligible to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we were eager to make a commemorative wine to celebrate the occasion,” said Intercept winemaker Amanda Gorter. “We wanted to create something special that truly embodied the sentiment of greatness from grape to glass.”
The 2018 Limited Edition Hall of Fame Cabernet Sauvignon from four premier districts in California’s Paso Robles AVA: Adelaida, Estrella, El Pomar, and Willow Creek. It is a full-bodied winewith bold tannins and exquisite structure, and can be enjoyed today or laid down to age.
The limited production resulted in 6,500 bottles, an homage to his 65 career interceptions. His career accolades are etched onto the bottle, and a note from Woodson lines the inside of the soft-touch matte black gift box.
Woodson explained, “Intercept has created this Hall of Fame Edition Cabernet Sauvignon – very fitting for this special time in my life! I’m sharing this moment with you because when I go in, we all go in!”
Responsible Hedonist "Pop A Wheelie" White Hawke's Bay 750ml
2024 Pop a Wheelie White
Chardonnay made without new oak. Aromas of honeydew melon, apple, meyer lemon, and wet stone. 1,200 cases produced. Vegan friendly.
Nice to meet you, we’re Diana and Frank!
Together, we have over 15 years of experience in the wine biz and a bunch of certifications. We’ve both worked as sommeliers at James Beard award winning and Michelin starred restaurants. We moved to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2017, so I (Diana) could pursue my Master’s in winemaking and viticulture. We fell in love with Aotearoa and never left.
I’m convinced it’s one of the last cool-to-moderate winemaking regions on the planet. A place with warm days and cool nights, where you can make wines with vitality and freshness without needing to add a bunch of stuff.
I only use wild yeast for fermentation (like a sourdough starter) and keep additions minimal and vegan friendly. The result? Expressive, delicious wines that are vibrant and deceptively complex.
I take my craft seriously, but never myself. So, I keep things fun and light because the world is serious enough these days 😅
We don’t have any staff, wear too many hats to count, and make less than 6,000 of wine bottles a year.
