Staff Pick Notes

I had the extraordinary chance to taste the fresh and lively pét-nat at a recent free tasting at Astor. Wow, was I blown away! Fresh rasperries and strawberries are supported by a strong mineral backbone with notes of white pepper and cinnamon. The nose is natural through and through while still having an air of wildness on the back end to support the fresh and lively fruit. Nothing mechanical is used in the vineyard, instead horses are used for everything on this organic farm from Zweigelt plantings dating back to 1976. Just a fun and fresh wine that makes a great date for a NYC park adventure.

Blauer Zweigelt), which yields full-bodied wines, deep in color and featuring bold flavors of...
