  • Happy Wine Wednesday everyone! This week we’re chatting about Casaloste Chianti Classico.

Back in February, we did an amazing event with Maria Giovanna, co-owner of @casaloste She shared not only the bold, elegant wines of her family’s estate but also the rich history behind them.

Casaloste is a certified organic winery in the heart of Chianti Classico, founded by her father, Giovanni d’Orsi—a passionate winemaker and visionary who left his life as an engineer in Naples to follow his dream in Tuscany. Today, Maria Giovanna carries on his legacy, blending tradition with innovation, and every glass reflects the care and love her family pours into their land.

Guests tasted through the range of Casaloste wines, from the vibrant Chianti Classico to the powerful Gran Selezione, while Maria Giovanna brought each bottle to life with stories of her family and the vines they’ve cultivated for decades.

The Chianti Classico was produced for the first time with the vintage 1993 and since then has always respected the character of the younger Sangiovese, made elegant by the small note of Merlot. This Chianti has bold, rich tannins and fresh red fruit, such as currants, strawberries, cherries along with violets. If you’re a lover of Italian wine (like me) you’d love this Chianti!

Check out more of the amazing Italian wines we offer. Shop online or stop in the shop!

  • Producer Spotlight: Hedges Family Estate

 Washington State has become one of the most exciting wine regions in the world, known for its dramatic landscapes, long sun-filled days, and diverse soils that give way to expressive, powerful wines. At the heart of this thriving region lies Red Mountain AVA—a tiny but mighty area producing some of the most acclaimed red wines in the country.

And right at its core? Hedges Family Estate.

Founded in 1987, Hedges is a family-owned, biodynamically farmed estate winery that’s redefining what sustainable winemaking looks like in the U.S. Their philosophy is simple yet profound: let the land speak. By blending Old World techniques with New World terroir, the Hedges family creates wines that are authentic, structured, and built to age.

We’re thrilled to feature their latest release:
2020 Hedges Estate Red – Elegant, earthy, and unmistakably Red Mountain. Notes of black cherry, baking spice, and crushed herbs meet silky tannins and a long finish. Drink now or cellar for a few years to watch it evolve beautifully.
