Harlots is a white wine field blend that sees some whole cluster fermentation and some oxygen for a sprightly oxidative cuvee from the Vergennes vineyard, an open meadow replete with Queen Anne’s Lace and red clover. The name is inspired by a medieval recipe that we like to cook in the winter called An Orange Omelet for Harlots and Ruffians, created by a German chef for an Italian pope in the 1400’s, a cook who shaped recipes for both harlots and princes. Likewise, we believe this wine is suitable for both ascetics and débauchées, but rest assured it can be enjoyed without risk of moral corruption. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e25% Frontenac Gris, 75% La Crescent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWild yeast\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo added sulfites\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrown on clay and limestone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe like this wine with:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOysters, smoked, broiled, or raw\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmoked fish\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpeck\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoasted cod with black olives and rosemary\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoast pork shoulder\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoast Turkey\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eChicken roasted with lemon and black pepper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGarlic braised broccoli rabe\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEscarole Caesar salad\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrispy roasted Brussel sprouts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deirdre Heekin (La Garagista)","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":44099700654338,"sku":"THWHIDEI0467G","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0090\/7372\/1401\/files\/76557E10-3C48-44DE-9617-58FAAEDE2703.jpg?v=1739481752"},{"product_id":"la-garagista-vinu-jancu-2020","title":"La Garagista, \"Vinu Jancu\" 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the producer, Deirdre Heekin of La Garagista: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe've been making Vinu Jancu since the beginning.  Dare I say it';s a flagship wine?  A reserve wine, it's grown in the West Addison vineyard, on clay and limestone, on the edge of Lake Champlain, and  is defined by the exlposion of wild flora that grows beneath the vines, golden rod, purple aster, daisy fleabane, and wild mint.  2019 was a cool and often wet growing season but with plenty of sun and easy weather for the autumn for harvest.  This is a sun-kissed vineyard with lake breezes, perfect for a skin-fermented more oxidative style of wine.  The grapes ferment in open vats and then the wine cycled through an anfora made from local Champlain Sea clays, the same clays the vines are rooted in, an anfora crafted by a ceramicist in Montreal.
