I Just Want an Ocean Fragrant, delicious and a little bit meditative, Endless River is our attempt to tell the story of our upbringings in California, France and Italy. Wine works on our memory with a sort of magic. It can connect us to our memories, but also to those of people and cultures we've never experienced directly. After a good bottle of wine, some of their memories become ours, joining an endless river that carries us both forward and backward in our lives. The Gruner Veltliner from Paragon Vineyard sits on a west-facing slope not far from the Pacific Ocean, and it typically expresses some of the more exciting herbal and floral elements of the Austrian original. 2018 was a cool, late harvest, letting us take our time in dialing in flavor and acidity at generous levels while retaining low alcohol. This wine never disappoints us, abundant with apple and pear fruit flavors, a hint of lychee and jalapeno chile - and finishes with a broad, savory, mineral intensity.

2005 Paolo Bea Sagrantino di Montefalco Pagliaro Thought I’d no longer love this stuff after a decade+ but if anything this was the best Bea I’ve ever had. I’ve loved these wines for their unpolished but well-earned confidence. It’s a style you see less and less. I’d drink now and over the next five years. @iandagata_vino : who do you consider the sagrantino masters? ❓for all: anyone had a california sagrantino? I can only think of the one made by @prima_materia_wine Anyone had a Bea over 20 years old? #sagrantinodimontefalco #umbrialovers #vinoitaliano🍷 #winelover #winegeeks #naturalwine #nochainscanholdyou #letsinspireotherpeople

Montevetrano 2009. The inspiration for #nochainscanholdyou. Cabernet and Aglianico. At 11, nearly at its peak. They’ve taken a lot of criticism for not being traditional enough but they ignored it and made a wholly new kind of wine with great quality and personality all its own. 👏 #vinoitaliano #wine #campaniafoodporn #aglianico #winebow #winebowimports #letsinspireotherpeople #pasorobles #pasowine #winegeek
