A Field Guide to the Tinted Truths
Attention, Students of the Vine and Seekers of Sun-Drenched Curiosities! 🕯️✨
This week at A Curious Wine Shop is dedicated to the study of Rosé - that whimsical, blush-hued nectar that sits precisely at the intersection of “Serious Oenology” and “Spontaneous Picnic.”

#1 Mad Med Le Rose: A Mediterranean marvel that feels like a vintage postcard from the French Riviera. It’s bright, a bit cheeky, and carries the sort of zest that suggests a mild, but delightful, obsession with the sea. 🌊🍋

#2 Adelsheim Rosé: The Oregonian of the group. Hailing from the Willamette Valley, she is elegant, precise, and structured. Think crisp strawberries and cool, morning mist. 🍓☁️

#3 Chateau de Trinquevedel Tavel: A royal decree from the hills of Tavel. If Rosé had a library, this would be the leather-bound first edition. Bold, sophisticated, and boasting a hue so deep it’s practically a sunset in a glass. 🏰🍷

Come forage through our shelves and find your favorite pink-hued potion. 🕰️✨

Crisp, vibrant, perfectly chilled, and ready for summer - the Sauvignon Blanc Edition Tasting Box is officially open for this week’s tasting at A Curious Wine Shop! 🥂✨

We are taking your palate on a global tour to explore how different terroirs shape this beloved, refreshing grape.

✨ The Lineup:

    •    Henri Bourgeois ‘Petit Bourgeois’ 🇫🇷 A gorgeous, classic expression from France’s Loire Valley. Expect elegant white flower fragrances, bright citrus, green apple, and a clean, flinty minerality.

    •    Bayten 🇿🇦 Hailing from the cool-climate slopes of Constantia, South Africa. This bone-dry standout brings an amazing balance of zesty passion fruit, lime, and crisp herbal notes with a chalky edge.

    •    Prisma 🇨🇱 A vibrant, sustainably farmed favorite from Chile’s coastal Casablanca Valley. It bursts out of the glass with tropical mango, passion fruit, and a punch of crisp citrus leaf.

How to Taste With Us:
Stop by anytime! It is the perfect way to find your signature summer style.

The moment of truth is here! 👃✨ Did you follow your nose to the right answers?
Here are the mystery scents from this week’s Aroma Contest:
1️⃣ Black Currant: That classic, deep, dark fruit note we love in Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. 🍇
2️⃣ Sandalwood: The exotic, woody, and warm aroma often found in beautifully aged reds or wines with oak aging. 🪵
3️⃣ Vinegar: A tricky one! In the wine world, we call this volatile acidity. A little can add lift, but too much and you have salad dressing!

This week, we’re packing our bags (and our glasses) for a journey through the diverse terroirs of Argentina! 🇦🇷🍷
Join us at A Curious Wine Shop for a weekly tasting that proves there’s so much more to Argentina than just your standard red. From the salty Atlantic coast of Patagonia to the high-altitude peaks of the Andes, here’s what’s on the table:
✨ Mundo Revés ‘Le Petit Voyage’ Pét-Nat Rosé
Kick off the trip with some bubbles! This "Little Voyage" is a wild, unfiltered sparkler made from ancient Criolla vines. Expect hazy pink hues and juicy notes of wild strawberry and watermelon rind. It’s raw, energetic, and pure summer fun in a glass.
🌊 Wapisa Sauvignon Blanc
Forget what you know about Argentinian whites. Coming from the only coastal winery in Patagonia, this wine is literally kissed by the sea. It’s zesty and bright with pink grapefruit and lime, finished with a unique saline minerality from those Atlantic breezes.
⛰️ Andeluna Malbec
We couldn't visit Argentina without the king! Grown 1,300 meters above sea level in the rocky soils of the Uco Valley, this Malbec is all about elegance. Think velvet-smooth tannins, floral violets, and deep layers of blackberry and plum.

Tasting Details:
📅 Tues - Sat

MUNDO REVES WINES

One of my favorite week’s of the year -
I am popping the corks on some effervescent, elegant, and beautifully crafted bubbles this week. Welcome to our Sparkling Wine Edition, a guided journey through three distinct European regions where bubbles have history.
In a world where sparkling wine is often saved for a single toast, these selections prove that bubbles deserve a seat at the table every day. We’re exploring the diversity of method and terroir: from the ancient hills of Limoux to the glacial soils of Valdobbiadene and the long-aged complexity of Penedès.
On the tasting table:
🍾 The French Ancestor: Famille Antech Cuvée Françoise
100% Mauzac from Limoux, this selection arrives from the true birthplace of sparkling wine. With 30 months of lees aging, it is a refined, organic dream that pairs perfectly with French Salt Cod.
🥂 The Italian Elegance: Bortolomiol ‘Prior’ Prosecco
Next, we experience a 100% Glera grown on sandstone and glacial moraine. This is a masterclass in the Charmat or Martinotti method - vibrant, sustainable, and ready for grilled vegetables with a spicy kick.
✨ Spanish Masterpiece: Vins el Cep ‘Gelida’ Gran Reserva Cava
An organic blend aged for an incredible 40–50 months on the lees. It’s rich, traditional, and (trust us) the ultimate companion for a plate of crispy Fried Chicken.
Whether you’re a devotee or just slightly curious, this feature is your map to the old world’s sparkling saavy🗺️🥂
Stop by the shop, grab a glass, and find out for yourself. The door is open.

Step into the filtered light of our 111 year old windows! It is time to settle the great debate of the week.

I must say, your olfactory faculties are truly impressive. Several guests got two out of the three aromas correct. Others may have indulged their imaginative relationship with your spice racks, but there is always next week.

For now, the mystery must be solved.

1. Mushroom: The telltale sign of an earthy wine, aromas of mushroom are common in Burgundy, Piedmont, and the tantalizing dessert wines that succumb to the noble rot.

2. Lime: Here in Florida, there is no shortage of appropriate moments for a limey wine. Whether on the beach or picnicking in the shade, Gruner Veltliner, Albariño, and Vinho Verde offer tart, refreshing options to pair with fun and bathing suits.

3. Almond: Sometimes we all get a little bit nutty. For a sophisticated and intriguing experience, turn to Rhône Valley and Italian white wines.

Cheers to you and cheers to me, a thousand flavors await us!

Step inside, it is a cool and relaxing retreat from the day and the heat🌿✨

I am pulling the corks on some wild, unrefined, and beautifully honest wines this week. Welcome to our Natural Wine Edition, a guided journey through bottles that have nothing added, and nothing taken away.
In a world where over 70 additives can hide behind a standard wine label, these selections are a breath of fresh, vineyard air. We’re exploring wine as nature intended: vibrant, eccentric, and full of life.

On the tasting table:

🥂 An Unfiltered German White: 100% Muscat from Benziger. Think aromatic blossoms and 20-year-old vines.

🍷 The Oregonian Rebel: A Limited Addition co-fermented blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It’s a conversation between 45-year-old ungrafted vines and neutral oak.

✨The Sicilian Soul: AnnaMaria Sala’s Nero d’Avola. Sun-drenched limestone and clay in a glass, begging for a bowl of Pasta Puttanesca.

Whether you’re a devotee of the raw sensation of natural wine or just beginning to wonder what terroir truly tastes like when it isn't polished by a lab, this feature is your map. 🗺️🍷

Stop by the shop, grab a glass, and let’s get a little curious. The door is open.
