The idea is easy enough: the mixed case.
In fact, it’s such a compelling, simple and obvious idea that even after nearly a decade, we’ve only ever done it once before. “Easy,” “simple” and “obvious” are just not wildly appealing concepts to us.
We offered one mixed case in the spring of 2020 – for obvious reasons – and we thought now, over two years later, a re-introduction to what we are trying to do might be worth it.
Here’s the basic promise: You pay $300 for a mixed case (twelve 750ml bottles) and we do our sincere and honest best to take you on a vinous journey that is, we think, delicious. We can guarantee you the bottles will be singular, unexpected, curious.
If 12 bottles is a bit much for you, we understand: a shorter 6-pack tour at $125 is also available – all the details on both packs available below.
The collection has been curated for the holidays. As such, it is (obviously) the perfect holiday gift. Gift yourself and everyone you know?
A few bottles, like the Stein, Ludes and Hammelmann have just landed. These will be among the first bottles to go out into the public! The full 12er is as balanced as we could possibly be, with a sparkling wine, three red wines and eight white wines, only two of which are off-dry – and both of these off-dry Rieslings are from the monumental 2021 vintage, so they are just sizzling with acid.
We can guarantee the experience will be authentic, but it won’t be obvious.
So, as with last time, included with this mixed case will be a user’s guide, written by yours truly going, in some depth, into the wines and the growers, tasting notes, maps, pictures and all that stuff – but also cultural musings beyond the wines.
Wine is just the access point; it’s just the beginning. What’s really important is how the wine can bring you to the larger culture, the villages, the people behind the wines.
This is where the fun is. This is the journey. Join us? Just reply to this email to begin.
