She brought Chile; he brought France. They brought all of it back to her homeland and planted their first vines in 2008. What came next was a winery that fuses Old World soul with New World rigor. The Itata Valley is ancient, volcanic, unhurried, and turned out to be the perfect place to land. About the Wine: From vines planted in 2002 on ancient volcanic and alluvial soils, this Pinot is harvested by hand, fermented with native yeasts, macerated 12 days, and aged 8 months in neutral barrels. Ruby red with aromas of strawberry, sour cherry, damp earth, and wildflowers, it's fresh and delicate on the palate with a mineral finish that lingers. Think less Burgundy grandeur, more barefoot-on-volcanic-soil joy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/ae3574f4-e8a4-4d07-a5ee-76548206e40f/Wilder+Wine+Club+%287%29.png The Cellar Blog - April 2026 Wine Club - 2) VIÑA LAURENT "VANIDOSO" CHARDONNAY, VALLE DE ITATA, CHILE WINE: WHITE // GRAPES: CHARDONNAY // CLUB: VIN DE SOIF & CORK DORK About the Wine: "Vanidoso" translates to vain… and sure, this wine is a little proud of itself, but it's earned it. The cool Mediterranean climate and mineral-heavy volcanic soils push this Chardonnay toward something leaner and more electric than you might expect, with stone fruit, citrus zest, and a saline edge that keeps things honest. Drink it with seafood, a soft cheese board, or on its own while you tell yourself you deserve it. (You do.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/9e57d0db-d391-4ae4-a1a7-237ab21b498c/Wilder+Wine+Club+%288%29.png The Cellar Blog - April 2026 Wine Club - 3) VIÑA LAURENT "ARROGANTE" SAUVIGNON BLANC, VALLE DE ITATA, CHILE WINE: WHITE // GRAPES: SAUVIGNON BLANC // CLUB: CORk Dork ONLY About the Wine: Reserved for my Cork Dorks, and befitting of the name , "Arrogante" doesn't apologize for taking up space, and neither does this Sauvignon Blanc. (Production details to be added.) Volcanic soils lend a sharp mineral tension while cool nights preserve aromatics that are bright and almost piercing, grapefruit pith, green herb, flint. It's the one you end up having the most interesting conversation with, so give it the attention it's asking for. Not a Cork Dork yet? Upgrade your membership for ~$20/month and this bottle is yours going forward. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/february-2026-wine-club monthly 0.5 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/77a721ae-94ea-471c-b699-524c3b17b204/WWC_Feb-2.png The Cellar Blog - February 2026 Wine Club - 1) Vino Gross Hišno Vino Noir 2022, Štajerska Slovenija, Slovenia Wine: Red // Grapes: Blaufränkisch, Pinot Noir, Furmint // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Michael Gross represents the next chapter of his family’s winemaking story, working organically in Slovenia’s Štajerska region just south of the Austrian border. Hišno Vino (literally “house wine”) creates a space for curiosity, experimentation, and pushing tradition without abandoning it. Each volume is different by design, shaped by vintage and instinct rather than rigid rules. About the Wine: This is a red that doesn’t sit still. Co-fermented and lightly macerated, it drinks somewhere between bright and brooding. You’ll find red fruit, gentle spice, and a mineral backbone that keeps things upright but not too tight. There’s freshness here, but also sneaky depth, the kind that unfolds as the glass warms up, preferably by a fire. It’s exactly the kind of wine you can open without overthinking… then end up talking about anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/064fcffa-ee07-42bd-9188-7f1bd6d44680/WWC_Feb-1.png The Cellar Blog - February 2026 Wine Club - 2) Vino Gross Hišno Vino Blanc 2022, Štajerska Slovenija, Slovenia Wine: White // Grapes: Furmint, Laski Rizling, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Direct-pressed and aged entirely in stainless steel, this blend will feel like Mediterranean sunshine met an Alpine chill. Think citrus peel, orchard fruit, and a subtle minty edge, all tied together by the region’s rich limestone and clay soils. It’s crisp without being sharp, interesting without being off putting, and the kind of wine that pairs well with whatever meal you’re slapping together. Whatever you do, just don’t serve it with ICE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/ca97573a-f063-41db-9d30-bdc31cd56c93/WWC_Feb-3.png The Cellar Blog - February 2026 Wine Club - 3) Rodica Refošk, Truške, Istria, Slovenia Wine: Red // Grapes: Refošk (Refosco) // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: Marinko Rodica was a mechanic by trade and began his winemaking journey later in life. He built his estate from the ground up and earning organic certification through persistence and care. Today, the Rodica family farms terraced vineyards near the Adriatic Sea, where limestone soils, coastal breezes, and dramatic day–night swings shape wines with natural tension and balance. About the Wine: Macerated on skins and aged in neutral oak before resting on lees, this Refošk is savory, structured, and a bit feisty. Notes of forest floor, dried herbs, and dark berries come through with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins. It’s a wine that rewards patience so give it air and let it stretch (a.k.a decant for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.) Rodica’s vines have to “fight” for water, resulting in the highest quality grapes. So let this wine be a little lesson in tenacity and leave you feeling empowered. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/january-2026-wine-club monthly 0.5 2026-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/a9ba1c9e-44db-496e-9500-f61d14478b4f/WWC_Jan-2.png The Cellar Blog - January 2026 Wine Club - 1) Henri Dufrères Bourgogne Blanc 2023, Burgundy, France Wine: White // Grapes: Chardonnay // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Henri Dufrères represents the next generation in Burgundy, looking forward by looking back. Working with sustainably farmed vineyards in the Mâcon, the focus here is on purity, restraint, and letting Burgundy’s legendary clay-limestone soils shine. The wines are vinified simply and aged in stainless steel, keeping things crispy and timeless. About the Wine: Here is a Chardonnay without the weight you traditionally associate with this grape in your glass. Snappy citrus peels with a soft mineral baseline, it tastes like you are going to forget your Dry Jan resolutions and have a second glass. Clean finish, plenty of energy, and zero heft this wine is exactly what we want as we stumble into a new year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/8278f023-cb2f-49fa-bb9c-b4281cb6fc67/WWC_Jan-3.png The Cellar Blog - January 2026 Wine Club - 2) Henri Dufrères Coteaux Bourguignons 2024, Burgundy, France Wine: Red // Grapes: Red Blend // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Juicy, energetic, and quietly complex, this is the kind of red that thrives in the darkness of January. You’ll pick up on ripe cherry fruit, a touch of spice, and that unmistakable white peppery lift that comes from limestone soils. It’s bright but deeply satisfying, which is just further proof that comfort doesn’t have to be heavy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/b7faf75e-e43f-49f1-96c5-20bd4b362154/WWC_Jan-1.png The Cellar Blog - January 2026 Wine Club - 3) Les Terres Dubien “Initial BC” 2019, Bordeaux, France Wine: Red // Grapes: Merlot & Malbec // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: Les Terres Dubien is a small but mighty estate founded in 2020 on the Médocaine peninsula, just north of Bordeaux. With only three hectares under vine, winemaker Benoit takes a deeply personal, hands-on approach by farming organically and biodynamically, harvesting manually (often with friends), and letting native yeasts guide fermentation. Every bottle is a true collaboration between time, land, and hand. About the Wine: This wine is something special and is begging to be your “initial” bottle of 2026 (I’m sorry… I had to.) Hand-picked Merlot and Malbec come together resulting in a wine that feels calm and composed without losing depth. Think black plum, blackberry, and cocoa, but not the hot chocolate kind. Its subtle structure and a quiet confidence make this one perfect for those cold, reflective evenings at home alone by choice. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/tastings-events-winter-2025-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/2a2ce953-8047-48ac-a79d-62468520ae9a/tempImage9az3cG.jpg The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Winter 2025/2026 - Wine & Wax with Starkweather Designs Friday, February 6th from 5 PM - 7 PM $125 per person | BUY TICKETS HERE Join Starkweather Designs at Wilder Wines for a hands on Wine & Wax workshop where you’ll sip, carve, and design your own custom charm to be cast in silver or brass.

These are bubbles rooted in place—bright, mineral, and quietly expressive. About the Wine: Brut Nature means super dry, no dosage, no fluff, just clean, precise sparkle. Expect zesty citrus, orchard fruit, and perfect, fine bubbles that make every sip feel like a small celebration. This is your fireside aperitif, your “we made it through another year” toast, your “I need something festive but unfussy” bottle. Recommended Local Business Pairing: The light and lively Elongated Rolo Chain from Rackk and Ruin! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/62ae8fef-8c8f-4203-ac0d-d1040c26f66c/WWC_Dec-2.png The Cellar Blog - December 2025 Wine Club - 2) Flores de Callejo 2020, Ribera del Duero, Spain Wine: Red // Grapes: Tinto Fino (AKA Tempranillo) // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Bodegas Félix Callejo is a family-run winery now in its second generation. Their vineyards sit at high altitude in Burgos, where varied soils—from limestone to gravel to clay—give their wines depth and lift. Their philosophy is rooted in ecological farming and honoring the raw purity of Tinto Fino. About the Wine: Flores de Callejo is focused on freshness and fruit. This wine is all wild berries, soft spice, violets, and a little balsamic swirl around a lively palate, with just enough richness to warm you up on a cold night. It’s hearty yet active, and crazy aromatic, basically the red wine version of someone wrapping you in a big, cozy scarf. Recommended Local Business Pairing: This Waterfall Stripe Big Scarf from Kish! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/3c572517-3c7a-46a8-93af-fa07ccdb10f5/WWC_Dec-3.png The Cellar Blog - December 2025 Wine Club - 3) Bigardo “Vino Tinto Experimental,” Toro, Spain Wine: Skin-Contact White // Grapes: Grauerburgunder (Pinot Gris) // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: From Bodegas Bigardo, this experimental cuvée breaks every rule it can (in the best way). Old vines, sandy + calcareous soils, spontaneous fermentation, unfined, unfiltered, vegan-friendly, and low-sulfur—this is a winemaker having fun while knowing exactly what they’re doing. About the Wine: Bigardo is dark, juicy, and a little wild. Think black fruit, dusty tannins, warm spice, and a texture that fills the whole palate. It’s bold without being heavy, polished without losing its edge. A perfect solstice bottle, deep, shadowy, and made for long nights. Recommended Local Business Pairing: A holiday record by a band you’ve never heard of before from our neighbors at Burlington Records! https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/november-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/adfb1637-97c7-4c54-a489-06095933af14/WWC_Nov-2.png The Cellar Blog - November 2025 Wine Club - 1) Weinhof Scheu Pfalz Spätburgunder Trocken, Pfalz, Germany Wine: Red // Grapes: Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: The Scheu family’s winery sits in Germany’s Pfalz region, where shell limestone soils and a long growing season bring depth and grace to their wines. They’re known for making pure, food-friendly bottlings that highlight balance over flash, and this Spätburgunder is a perfect example of that philosophy. About the Wine: German Pinot Noir doesn’t get enough love, but this one will win you over fast. Ripe blackberry and dark chocolate notes meet soft tannins and a silky, light-bodied texture that makes it easy to drink (and even easier to share). Try it slightly chilled for a fresher edge or let it open up beside a cozy fire, it wears both moods well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/a89077bf-9300-4ab2-bdee-2b481bb153b1/WWC_Nov-1.png The Cellar Blog - November 2025 Wine Club - 2) Schlossmühlenhof Riesling Trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany Wine: White // Grapes: Riesling // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: The Schlossmühlenhof estate has been run by the Schmitt family since 1846, now in its sixth generation. Their wines reflect both tradition and curiosity—classic Rieslings sit alongside a new wave of low-intervention options that explore texture and terroir in creative ways. About the Wine: This dry Riesling is a liter bottle… need I say more? From 22-year-old vines on calcareous clay, it’s fermented spontaneously and aged on lees for a touch of depth. Expect crisp citrus and orchard fruit, a little saline minerality, and that unmistakable zap of energy that great Riesling always delivers. Bright, bracing, and perfect for that in-between season when the light fades early but friends still keep showing up at your table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/99e72640-ce12-4d0e-998a-71860580a9dd/WWC_Nov-3.png The Cellar Blog - November 2025 Wine Club - 3) Weingut Schlossmühlenhof “Picobello PGGB,” Rheinhessen, Germany Wine: Skin-Contact White // Grapes: Grauerburgunder (Pinot Gris) // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: From the same forward-thinking team at Schlossmühlenhof, this bottling shows off their playful, experimental side. The PGGB (short for Pinot Gris Grauburgunder) was macerated for 14 days at cool temperatures and spontaneously fermented in oak before a short rest in stainless steel. About the Wine: Think of it as the love child between white and orange wine, textural, dry, and a little wild. Expect spice, pear skin, and stone fruit with a clean, mineral finish. It’s layered without being heavy, like that rare November day when the sun actually feels warm on your face but you know cold rain is coming. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/october-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/3a153b6d-f576-4760-823e-da5c5b1ad610/WWC_Oct-1.png The Cellar Blog - October 2025 Wine Club - 1) Brooks Renewal, Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon Wine: Red // Grapes: FPinot Noir // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Brooks has been part of the Willamette Valley wine story since 1998, when it was founded by Jimi Brooks and carried forward after his passing by his family and longtime winemaker Chris Williams, with Jimi’s son Pascal now at the helm. Their approach is thoughtful and hands-on: biodynamic farming, native yeasts, and vineyard-driven winemaking that captures the valley’s spirit in every bottle. Just as importantly, Brooks is a Certified B Corp and member of 1% for the Planet, showing that caring for the land and community is every bit as central as crafting world-class Pinot Noir and aromatic whites. About the Wine: Pinot Noir is the Willamette Valley’s calling card, and 2024 was a standout year. Harvest commenced in early October, allowing for a smooth picking process with no pressure to rush, a rare gift that shows in the glass. The result is a Pinot without pretense: cherry cola, forest floor, and a flicker of spice (not the pumpkin kind), lifted by the valley’s cool nights. It’s the kind of wine that feels easy yet layered, paired perfectly with a slow dinner of roast chicken or eating takeout over the sink. No judgement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/27224a71-cf77-44fb-bf50-ae050e63b21b/WWC_Oct-2.png The Cellar Blog - October 2025 Wine Club - 2) Brooks Renewal, Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, Oregon Wine: White // Grapes: Pinot Gris // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Pinot Gris may not get as much of the spotlight as Pinot Noir in Oregon, but the 2024 vintage proves it deserves a moment to shine. The season’s long, even ripening gave this wine a balance of ripe orchard fruit and a stony, mineral edge. It’s like biting into that first honeycrisp apple of fall while standing on a tropical beach, bright, juicy, and a little surreal. A bottle that defies logic but never disappoints, it’s made for those in-between moments: sweaters in the morning, sunshine by afternoon, and dinner under blankets with your best friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/6efafa22-69ba-4249-a0d1-730689911be3/WWC_Oct-3.png The Cellar Blog - October 2025 Wine Club - 3) Brooks Renewal, Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, Oregon Wine: White // Grapes: Chardonnay // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Wine: Chardonnay in Oregon has its own rhythm, and the 2023 vintage leans into it beautifully. A mild, steady harvest gave fruit with both brightness and depth, resulting in a wine that finds itself both lively and grounding. This isn’t your uncle’s Chardonnay either, gentle oak lends itself to bright over buttery without losing all sense of savory. It’s like when you’re torn between the lemon curd and crème brûlée only to find you get the best of both worlds. So relax, take it slow, and learn to love this quintessential grape for the star that it is. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/tastings-events-fall-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/d25168da-439f-475b-86e8-23912bd0d6d3/WW_Shelves_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Fall 2025 - Blind Tasting Tuesdays @ Wilder Every Tuesday, 4:30 PM - 10 PM Enjoy blind tasting flights at the Wilder wine bar! $15 - Try 3 wines, same varietal, different wine making methods, guess the grape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1b680c57-1af8-462d-945f-bdf638b39d24/IMG_7455.jpeg The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Fall 2025 - Free In-store wine tasting with Mathew Rorick & Wine bar takeover!

The Caruso family has farmed these hills for generations, and when they partnered with the Minini family, they brought together deep local knowledge and a fresh, international outlook. Their “Eclectics” line, which all three of this month’s wines come from, is playful and approachable—bottles that highlight Sicily’s native grapes in a way that feels both rooted in place and refreshingly contemporary. Organic farming, careful hand harvesting, and minimal intervention in the cellar keep the focus on balance, freshness, and pure Sicilian character. About the Wine: Hand-harvested in September, Frappello brings together two classic Sicilian grapes: Frappato for brightness, Nerello Mascalese for depth. After a long maceration and fermentation, it’s aged partly in steel and partly in small barriques, giving it both freshness and polish. In the glass, it’s ruby red with notes of wild berries, subtle spice, and a touch of minerality. Rounded tannins and a long finish make it versatile at the table, so it plays as nicely with grilled fish as it does with adult lunchables (aka charcuterie.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/4d7ad50e-ff3f-4afd-bda2-40943f5c007c/WWC_Sep-2.png The Cellar Blog - September 2025 Wine Club - 2) Caruso & Minini “Frappo” Rosé, Terre Siciliane, Italy Wine: Rosé // Grapes: Frappato // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: This rosé is a refreshing celebration of harvest itself, Frappato grapes picked by hand in early September, given just 8 hours of cool maceration to pull out that delicate blush of color. Fermented and aged in steel, it’s crisp and lively, with red fruit aromatics and a floral afterthought. Strawberries, cherries, and a subtle acid line keep it bright and light. It’s the perfect “shoulder-season” rosé—easy and joyful but with enough structure to carry into fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/7e29f184-4e50-442e-a88d-f5520983d6e9/WWC_Sep-3.png The Cellar Blog - September 2025 Wine Club - 3) Caruso & Minini “Zolì” Inzolia, Terre Siciliane, Italy Wine: White // Grapes: Inzolia // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Wine: Inzolia is a typical Sicilian vine, and Caruso & Minini treat it with the care it deserves. The grapes are also hand-harvested, then given a brief cryomaceration at cool temperatures before fermentation. Four months on the lees in steel tanks add texture while keeping the wine clean and crisp. Zolì pours a pale straw yellow, with aromas of white-fleshed fruit, Mediterranean herbs, and a faint saline edge. Bright, aromatic, and easy to drink, it’s a reminder that white wines can be just as grounding as reds when the season shifts. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/august-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/6ec9325b-af8f-4362-86d6-1b36229a2480/Wilder+Wine+Club+%282%29.png The Cellar Blog - August 2025 Wine Club - 1) Amor Per La Terra, “El Torrent De La Vida”, Catalonia, Spain Wine: Sparkling White // Grapes: Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeu // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Amor Per La Terra (which translates to “Love for the Land”) is as much a movement as it is a winery. It’s a collective effort led by winemakers Salva Batlle, Jordi Inglés, and Marc Andreu, all of whom focus on sustainable farming, native varieties, and honest expressions of Catalonia’s terroir. These wines are made with minimal intervention and maximum respect—nothing added, nothing taken away. About the Wine: This is a pét-nat (Pétillant Naturel), an effortless sparkler for end-of-summer sipping. Made from organically grown grapes in Tarragona and bottled with no SO2, no fining, and no filtering, it’s as clean and refreshing as they come. Expect soft bubbles, citrus blossoms, and a mineral finish that mirrors the region’s coastal air. It’s a little foamy, a little floral, and perfect for porch hangs or happy hour at home.... since that’s the only kind we’ve got! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/0020e15a-ae94-4368-857b-08be0e2a2c2a/Wilder+Wine+Club+%281%29.png The Cellar Blog - August 2025 Wine Club - 2) Amor Per La Terra, “La Vinya Del Boter”, Catalonia, Spain Wine: Red // Grapes: Monastrell, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Parellada // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Same collective, same intention, but this bottle leans into the hands-on work of Salva Batlle (who you might know from Cosmic Vinyaters). Grapes are co-fermented with wild yeasts, aged briefly in stainless, and bottled young and fresh—unfined, unfiltered, and with zero sulfur. This is what we’re drinking on the hottest day of the week that melts into a cool evening. A co-ferment of Monastrell and Xarel·lo, it lands somewhere between a dark rosé and a light red, with crunchy pomegranate, wild herbs, and just the right amount of grip. Serve it chilled (not quite Vermont winter cold) and let it evolve in the glass. It’s fun, fresh, and reminds us that transitions can be enjoyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/3cfcd0d9-a1e6-41e4-a97d-c74c3fff2026/WWC_Aug-3.png The Cellar Blog - August 2025 Wine Club - 3) Quinta do Ermízio “Vinho Verde,” Ronfe, Portugal Wine: White // Grapes: Loureiro, Treixadura // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: This historic quinta just outside Guimarães dates back to the 12th century (!), but it’s now run by Antonio A. Monteiro, a retired horticulture professor with deep roots in the land and a light touch in the cellar. Vines are pergola-trained to protect the fruit, hand-harvested, and fermented in stainless steel with minimal sulfur and just a touch of CO2. About the Wine: Crisp, light, and wildly refreshing—this Vinho Verde has a little spritz, no sweetness, and all the apricot, sea-salty, grapefruit-lime goodness you could want while you savor these hot days. Treixadura adds a soft, round edge, while Loureiro brings the acid and claps back. It's not your average porch pounder—it's better. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/july-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/9eb71be2-4608-49d5-a1ca-4c720edcd19b/WWC_Jul-1.png The Cellar Blog - July 2025 Wine Club - 1) Daniel Ramos, berrakin Blanco, El Tiemblo, Spain Wine: Orange // Grapes: 100% Jaén Blanco // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Daniel Ramos and his partner Pepi San Juan are champions of the Sierra de Gredos region, working organically and by lunar cycles in their vineyards, and embracing low-intervention methods in the cellar. Their wines are always terroir-driven, but never too serious—and the Berrakin line is their answer to natural wines that are fun, drinkable, and still true to place. About the Wine: This skin-contact white (aka orange wine) is made from a local grape called Jaén Blanco, not to be confused with Portugal’s red Jaen, and fermented on the skins for over a month in stainless steel. It’s got orchard stone fruit for days (peach! apricot!), balanced by orange peel, wild herbs, and a surprising lift on the finish. The texture is grippy in the best way, and the acid keeps it lively. Serve it chilled and let it open up, it’s as layered as a midsummer sunset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/50587eae-bf75-4c78-8705-7730b8695c0a/WWC_Jul-2.png The Cellar Blog - July 2025 Wine Club - 2) Daniel Ramos, El berrakin Tinto, El Tiemblo, Spain Wine: Red // Grapes: Garnacha & Jaén // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Same Daniel, different vibe. This red comes from old bush vines growing in granitic soils at high elevation, and like all of his wines, it's fermented with native yeasts and bottled without fining or filtering. The El Berrakin Tinto is meant to show off Garnacha’s more playful side—still complex, but made for a second (or third) glass. This is Garnacha as its juiciest self with dusty black cherries, dark raspberry, mountain herbs, and just a touch of summery spice. It’s earthy, expressive, and somehow both rustic and elegant. A little air brings out even more flavor, so don’t be afraid to give it a swirl or a chill. Pair it with grilled veggies, salty snacks, or absolutely nothing at all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/54d0411b-db79-47f4-acfc-ea7837ae40f2/WWC_Jul-3.png The Cellar Blog - July 2025 Wine Club - 3) La Lata, Vermujito, Wine Spritz, Veneto, Spain Dry Vermouth Spritz // Ingredients: Organic Vermouth and Grapefruit Juice // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: La Lata is a project born from nostalgia, inspired by the sherry cocktails sipped during the Feria de Abril in Sevilla. This time, the team took an amontillado-based vermouth from Bodegas Robles, aromatized it with herbs, spices, and botanicals, and then blended it with real grapefruit juice. No concentrates, no added sugar, just good ingredients and a very good idea. About the Wine: Meet your new beach buddy. Vermujito is the slightly bitter, citrusy, very crushable cousin of a Rebujito—with a dry, complex edge that keeps it grown-up. It’s refreshing and deeply herbal, like sipping something between an aperitivo and a summer cocktail. Serve it over ice with a dried orange slice... or crack the can and take it to the lake. Either way, it’s Christmas in July. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/tastings-events-summer-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/d25168da-439f-475b-86e8-23912bd0d6d3/WW_Shelves_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Summer 2025 - Blind Tasting Tuesdays @ Wilder Every Tuesday, 5 PM - 10 PM Enjoy blind tasting flights at the Wilder wine bar! $15 - Try 3 wines, same varietal, different wine making methods, guess the grape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/c34e0a36-c239-4d2c-801a-cf492525352a/RAS+Wines.png The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Summer 2025 - Wine Tasting: R.A.S. Wines Tuesday, July 15th from 5 PM - 7 PM Each wine they make shares a common spirit: forthright, pure, complex, balanced, and authentically reflective of the place it comes from. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/june-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/779249dd-bc15-46e2-a711-ee2f46dc06d7/WWC_Jun-3.png The Cellar Blog - June 2025 Wine Club - 1) Cantina Marilina, Cuè Moscato, Sicilia, Italy Wine: White // Grapes: Moscato // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Cantina Marilina is a family-run winery led by sisters Marilina and Federica Paternò, who took the reins from their father Angelo—a Sicilian winemaking veteran with decades of experience. Angelo bought land near the town of Pachino in southeastern Sicily, convinced it was one of the most special spots on the island to grow grapes. The family farms organically, practices biodiversity (think fruit trees among the vines!), and works with a light touch in the cellar. They’re serious about sustainability, too—recycled glass bottles, natural paper labels, cork closures—all in line with their philosophy of caring for the land as much as the wine. About the Wine: If you think you know Moscato, Cuè is here to keep you guessing. Named after a Sicilian slang for “Who is it?”, this wine has a bit of an identity crisis: it smells floral and a little tropical, but it’s totally dry, zippy, and fresh. Spontaneously fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts, it goes untouched by filtration or fining, and is bottled with just a whisper of sulfur. As for flavor, imagine eating a ripe melon while grilling a whole fish wrapped in a warm summer breeze (if you can remember what that feels like.) Cook accordingly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/239755a1-ea71-4c18-8026-70f513981897/WWC_Jun-2.png The Cellar Blog - June 2025 Wine Club - 2) Cantina Marilina, Ruversa Nero d'Avola, Sicilia, Italy Wine: Red // Grapes: Nero d'Avola // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Ruversa is all about going against the grain… in fact, the name literally means “in reverse.” No stainless steel, no high-tech tools, just natural fermentation in concrete, 18 months of mellow aging in the same tanks, and a little rest in bottle before release. The result? A soulful, savory Nero d’Avola that shows off the earthy side of Sicily. It’s juicy and dark-fruited, but with a light herbal streak and the kind of curious texture that makes you want to take another sip. No filtering, no fuss, just a wine that feels honest and grounded. Enjoy it with saucy pasta or whatever comfort food you make while you wait for the warm sun to come out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/338df2d5-be2e-4a9a-8e31-03fe8d5319f1/WWC_Jun-1.png The Cellar Blog - June 2025 Wine Club - 3) Gia Brut Prosecco NV, Veneto, Italy Wine: Sparkling // Grapes: Bianchetta, Perera, Verdiso, Glera and Pinot Noir // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: This isn’t just another bottle of bubbles. Gia is a true collaboration between Italian grower-winemaker Massimo Marion (of La Jara fame) and our very own Alex Labriola, the design mind behind Wilder’s visual identity—an OG natural wine enthusiast in her own right. Alex is one of those rare humans who’s as fluent in fermentation as she is in fonts. She worked directly with Massimo to not only create the unique label but also to sculpt the final blend and style of the wine itself. Her quest? A sparkling wine that’s certified organic, zero added sugar, no added yeast, unfiltered, and, maybe the trickiest part, still totally crushable for your mom or anyone who’s not deep in the natty wine world. About the Wine: Technically, Gia could be labeled as Prosecco, it’s made in Veneto and includes Glera, but it’s declassified by choice to signal that this is not your average sparkler. The blend features Glera along with lesser-known local grapes like Bianchetta, Perera, Verdiso, and a touch of Pinot Noir, then ages in tank for a rare 1.5 years(!) giving it far more depth, texture, and age-worthiness than most Prosecco. The result is a wine worth celebrating with a bouquet of fresh white flowers and salty citrus. Pair it with your favorite summer salad and potato chips. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/tastings-events-spring-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/f5035be3-29dc-490b-b711-b2f1f3082b93/joseph-jibril-wines.jpg The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Spring 2025 - Wine Tasting: joseph-jibril Friday, May 23 from 4:30-6:30 PM Add to calendar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/13d4d058-512a-4241-a954-5c7e5254aca0/jolie-laide-wines.png The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Spring 2025 - Wine Tasting: Jolie-Laide Saturday, May 24 from 3-5 PM Add to Calendar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/298e5895-836d-4db5-881b-e24c414b4a0d/NS_CocoFarm_1600.png The Cellar Blog - Tastings & Events Spring 2025 - Wine Tasting: Coco Farm & Winery Saturday, May 17 from 4-6 PM https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/may-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/8d292a7e-e8e7-4af0-a40e-a56169e1ee9f/WWC_1.png The Cellar Blog - May 2025 Wine Club - 1) Bodegas Puiggrós Exedra Blanc, Catalonia, Spain Wine: White // Grapes: Garnacha Blanca // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: The Puiggrós family has been working their vines in Catalunya since 1843, originally making wine just for themselves and close friends. With time, they realized the land held too much magic not to share. Their philosophy is all about terroir and native varieties. Everything is done with clean, low-intervention methods, often aging their wines in handmade clay amphorae to bring out each vineyard’s unique expression. About the Wine: This white is as aromatic as a late spring garden party: lemon zest, peach, pineapple, jasmine, and a hint of beeswax. Aged 10 months in amphora on the lees, it’s zippy and textural with Mediterranean herb notes and a salty, stone-mineral finish. Pair it with summer nights, good friends, and maybe a tin of smoked mackerel on a hot rock by the lake. (Trust me.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/a3d23af8-1395-437e-a4cf-e5a124e95b05/WWC_2.png The Cellar Blog - May 2025 Wine Club - 2) Bodegas Puiggrós Exedra Negre, Catalonia, Spain Wine: Red // Grapes: Grenache // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Same incredible family, same clay love story. The Exedra Negre comes from hand-harvested Garnacha, fermented and aged in amphora with minimal sulfur. Their work is pushing the region’s natural wine movement forward with honesty, freshness, and some serious finesse. Light, juicy, and earthy, with bright red berries, hints of herbs, and smooth, chillable vibes. This is a red for rainy spring evenings and good stews, edible or emotional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/d75683bf-d9c3-4aef-ae03-15f330210ad3/WWC_3.png The Cellar Blog - May 2025 Wine Club - 3) Seehof Pinot Noir Rosé, Rheinhessen, Germany Wine: Rosé // Grapes: Pinot Noir // Club: Cork Dork ONLY About the Producer: In the heart of Westhofen, the Fauth family has been tending their vines at Seehof for four generations. Today, winemaker Florian Fauth carries that legacy forward with a quiet confidence, letting his wines tell the story. His approach bucks a major trend in Germany, while many young winemakers chase the dense, powerful style of his infamous brother-in-law, Klaus Peter Keller, Florian leans the other way. He’s all about clarity, freshness, and letting the limestone soils shine. About the Wine: This rosé is a stunner—pure, precise, and totally alive. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it bursts with tart cherry, juicy strawberries, and a stony minerality that keeps things grounded. It’s the kind of bottle that over-delivers in every way: refreshing without being boring, serious without being stiff. A true warm-weather MVP. Pair it with park picnics, porch hangs, grilled everything, and long days that turn into longer nights. You’ll want more than one bottle… and I am saying that as a friend not a shop owner! https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/wilder-wines-opens-new-shop-and-wine-bar monthly 0.5 2025-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/07231faf-fa84-4899-a6f4-527d4be35c2c/_DSC0073_VSCO.jpg The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747334962428-Y2HVJS1MIL2S4IPZ8PU8/DworshakAA007_Original.JPG The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747335011817-V2W84UF9744526KH3Q4H/IMG_3620.JPG The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747334980396-C1GXM65ACNP7MS6SRX9R/DworshakAA024_Original.JPG The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747338084412-TJAZ7DJIFJLTMFCUXJET/WW-Bar-Opening_5.16.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626037970-IMTAXPA6GWO9OEH3ZT08/WW_Shelves_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626177901-NMUR9298DPL61EXB5A7H/WW_Snacks_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626330585-0HJQTUWVYZ4XD7C28OUI/WW_SiphaServing_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626065552-SDDB3P3REPCVF97CDVBK/WW_Interior_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626077148-VHZD3ID6K68YEQJENZ5F/DSCF6511.JPG The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626029793-HB7KSKMLNZTOU1A8F6FA/WW_EVOO_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/1747626028394-VT7JYW5WBC739B9NOTFG/WW_CocoWater_5.18.25.png The Cellar Blog - Wilder Wines Opens New Shop and Wine Bar in Downtown Burlington https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/april-2025-wine-club monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/c8212253-38d7-4244-8903-bbaeeb8e3b99/Vigneti-Romio_Sangiovese-Superiore-Riserva_Bottle-Image.png The Cellar Blog - April 2025 Wine Club - 1) Vigneti Romio, Sangiovese, Emilia Romagna, Italy Wine: Red // Grapes: Sangiovese // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Producer: Vigneti Romio was founded with a clear goal: to offer high quality wines that capture the essence of Emilia Romagna by The Caviro Group. Founded in 1966 in Faenza, Emilia-Romagna, Caviro was created to honor the region’s rich heritage. With over 50 years of expertise, they now export wines to over 80 countries around the world, while actively prioritizing sustainability by transforming waste into valuable resources. About the Wine: Hand-harvested from mid-September to early October, the grapes undergo destemming and gentle pressing. The wine is aged for 12 months in stainless steel vats, followed by an additional 6 months in the bottle, allowing it to develop its full character. Grapes are harvested at the end of August to the middle of September. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/637b5375-cef4-4b99-958d-62795c649aee/Vigneti-Romio_Trebbiano_Bottle-Image.png The Cellar Blog - April 2025 Wine Club - 2) Vigneti Romio, Trebbiano, Emilia Romagna, Italy Wine: White // Grapes: Trebbiano // Club: Vin de Soif & Cork Dork About the Wine: Vinification begins with soft pressing to separate the solid part from the must to avoid any maceration with the grape skins. Vinification finishes in the end of March in steel tanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6029ce12fff66b0cea7cde06/377b34e5-40ee-4935-b153-8c8db1ee70e5/Domaine+Fontsainte%2C+Gris+de+Gris+Rose%CC%81+2024.png The Cellar Blog - April 2025 Wine Club - 3) Domaine Fontsainte, Gris de Gris Rosé 2024, Corbieres, France Wine: Rose // Grapes: Grenache Gris, Carignan, Mourvèdre // Club: Cork Dork About the Producer: The vineyards at Domaine de Fontsainte were first established by the Romans. So deep and rich in history that they once found an ancient coin from the era of Marcus Agrippa (25 A.D.)! The original domaine was constructed around a thermal spring, later named after the twelfth-century patron saint, Saint Siméon—hence Fontsainte, meaning "the saint’s fount." About the Wine: Producer Bruno Laboucarié is one of the pioneering wine makers in the region to embrace whole cluster fermentation, upholding the family’s tradition of innovation. This results in wines, like this rosé, that are complex yet refreshing. Think, eating a fresh strawberry on a patio with the smell of salt air in the sun. https://www.wilderwinesvt.com/blog/the-cellar/why-you-should-drink-natural-wine monthly 0.5 2025-08-01
