Staff Pick Notes

You could think of Dirty & Rowdy as the misfiled sweethearts of the California wine scene. Hardy Wallace (Dirty) & Matt Richardson (Rowdy) started their wine making journey in 2010 after moving from Atlanta, Georgia. Their story is one that is tangled in friendship, gastronomy, oenology and revolution. Hardy and Matt are shifting the way people look at California wine, their juice is raw, authentic, and above all else unapologetic. Over steeped black tea holds the palates attention. Black pepper corns dance in line with spiced dark-maroon raspberries and sun soaked plums. The lack of filtration lends itself to the cloudy ruby color in the glass in addition to the raw rich texture that caresses the palate. You could call Dirty & Rowdy misfiled sweethearts or you could just call them the new California.

Glossary

Mourvèdre

Known as Mataro in California and Monastrell in Spain, Mourvèdre can produce bold, tannic, highly alcoholic red wines. They usually show no shortage of fruit as well, and the best examples keep it all in perfect balance. Rhône-style blends are cropping up all over the world, and one of the classic tried-and-true combinations is "GSM," or Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre. The "M" contributes focus and fleshy character to blends - but Mourvèdre also shines on its own as a varietal wine.

California

California makes more wine than any other state in the United States. Not only does the state grow a variety of noble grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, there are also plantings of lesser-known varieties such as Nebbiolo, Roussanne and Mourvèdre to name just a few.
