Ampeleia is a passion project between two extraordinary winemakers, Elisabetta Foradori & Giovanni Podini. Elisabetta and Giovanni are striving to make honest, natural wines that showcase the beauty and terroir of the area while trying to create a harmonious balance with nature. With 10-12 days of skin contact, you could call this an orange wine, but we just call it delicious.

Grilled sea bass, asparagus risotto or a cobb salad would make a sensational pairing to this lovely Tuscan white.

Aperol Aperitivo
$26.00
Aperol originated in 1919 in Padova, Ital. It was a product of the Barbieri Brothers who launched the revolutionary idea of an aperitif with an alcohol content of only 11% alcohol. Today Aperol has become a classic apéritif and increasingly popular in cocktail recipes around the world. Bright orange in color it has a unique bitter-sweet taste deriving from a secret recipe that has remained unchanged since its creation. An infusion of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb and cinchona combined with herbs and roots create a perfectly balanced elixir. Aperol is milder in flavor and half the alcohol content of its Campari cousin.
Together with 3 parts of Prosecco, 2 parts of Aperol and a dash of seltz, Aperol makes the perfect Spritz -the irresistible Italian Aperol Spritz.

The epitome of the “local” farm-to-table movement, this sake is made only with rice, water, and labor from its own prefecture. Ama No To translates to “Heaven’s Door,” referring to the prefecture which is at the northernmost tip of Japan. The label image is an icon of good fortune from Amaterasu, the Shinto Sun Goddess who is believed to have brought light to the world and cultivated Japan’s first rice fields.
With sweet rice aromas surrounded with floral fresh herb spiciness, this slightly dry, medium-bodied Sake has mouthwatering apple flavors with an agreeable earthiness on the mid-palate.

The Averaen opens with aromatic plumes of red fruits and earth – spiced raspberry and macerated strawberry aromas are blackened by sappy/maple tones and elevated by fresh-cut flowers, cardamom and sanguine notes. A lively and explosive entry of summer berries gives way to a decked-out mid-palate wrapping the red-blue berry character around a generous core of sage, allspice and licorice.

The grapes are sourced from Anderson Valley, Sonoma County, Napa Valley and Mendocino County.

Kenny is half Thai, and after searching for a California wine that would pair well with Thai food, Kenny decided to just make his own.

Mexico has a centuries-long history of wine making that has mostly gone under the radar. Spanish conquistadors planted vines in the early 1500s (earlier than both Chile and Argentina!) and Baja California holds about 90% of the vines in the entire country due to its ideal climate and geography. "No Sapiens" comes from a single, dry-farmed, 69-year-old vineyard comprised of a mysterious grape variety that remains unidentified. This naked beauty is bursting with aromas of cherry, spun sugar, and rose petals, while the taste buds are treated to accents of dried strawberries, violets and cranberries. Pair this mystery with roasted leeks, pumpkin lasagne, or cured meats.

Tardana!?! Yes, believe it or not, Tardana is a native grape of Spain that almost disappeared. However, thanks to some forward thinking winemakers, this wonderful varietal is starting to make a comeback. Bodegas Gratias named this wine "Sol" or "Sun" because Tardana needs to ripen longer than most grapes, meaning it receives the most hours of sun in the growing season. This wine showcases lovely aromas of lemongrass, quince and Winesap apple with delicate flavors of Asian pear and honeycomb finished by a touch of sea salt. This Spanish white would make a lovely pairing with soft shell crab, chicken Marsala or lemon squares.

It is made by an infusion of gentian, cinchona (quinine) and renowned herbs of the Grande Chartreuse mountains in a mistelle base. While tradition is to drink neat with a twist, Bonal also mixes well with fresh or hard cider, sparkling wine, and Scotch or American whiskies.

Caffo Amaretto
$19.00
The history of the Caffo family business dates back to the end of the 19th century, when Giuseppe Caffo, the Master Distiller, class of 1865, began distilling pomace on the side of volcanic Mt. Etna. After years of experience trading and managing distilleries, his dream became reality when in 1915 he bought and old distillery in Santa Venerina, Sicily. He fully dedicated himself to his passion and passed his knowledge along to his children. Giuseppe’s son, Sebastiano Caffo, soon became a Master Distiller himself, and together they founded the company ‘Fratelli Caffo’ with Sebastiano’s brother, Santo Caffo. Initially, Caffo produced a small range of spirits distilled from wine, however the Caffo distillery gradually began producing and earning recognition for their fruit and herbal liqueurs and classic Italian spirits such as Amaro, Limoncino, Amaretto, Sambuca, and aged Grappa.
Caffo’s Amaretto is titled “Fratelli D’Italia” – English translation: Brothers of Italy. In the 1930’s many Italians emigrated from their homeland seeking success. This Amaretto was created and dedicated to these Italian “Brothers” so they could carry around the world with them a small piece of home. Made from estate grown almonds, sugar and alcohol, this amaretto is the most pure and expressive on the market today. The expert distillers at Caffo produced this all-natural Amaretto from 100% real Sicilian almonds and macerated it in an herbal infusion. It’s like marzipan in a glass…

For reds, 2017 threw us into unfamiliar territory, and we fought like hell to produce the best wine possible. This required us to put on modern winemaking hats -- some fermentations were restarted, some volatility cleaned up and removed, and then nearly everything was blended together and filtered. Our 2017 Unfamiliar is an emotional wine. It is a blend of 100% of the following vineyards: Shake Ridge Ranch, Rodnick Farm (formerly Antle), both Skinner vineyards, Rosewood, Wonderment Rd., Alder Springs, and Brosseau. The final wine, the 2017 Unfamiliar, brings aromatic healing, salvation, and redemption.
Have you ever listened to The Devil Went Down to Georgia? Really, really listened to it?
The devil confronts young Johnny and makes a wager with him for a fiddle of gold against his soul in an old timey fiddle duel. The devil goes first and unleashes deep, demonic funky lines, and lays down some nasty grooves.
Instead of surrendering and losing his soul, Johnny jumps up and caws, “Fire on the mountain run boys run!" while delivering some blistering fiddle of his own.
Defeated, the devil, hands over the golden fiddle, and Johnny triumphantly belts out, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again, I done told you once, you son of a b****, I'm the best there´s ever been!”
The Unfamiliar is light red, and drinks like an exotic cross between our Familiar and Especial Mourvèdre wines. You may never see this wine from us again so buy and drink with gusto! -Winemaker's Notes

TASTING NOTES
We here at Wright & Goebal can never get enough of our friend Kenny Likitprakong's wine and "Parts & Labor" is no exception. The fourth vintage of the Folk Machine’s red wine blend continues to fit into their idea of what a California bistro wine can and should be. This wine displays a bright nose of licorice, fig and raspberry that cascade into flavors of blueberry, pink peppercorn and mint. This wine pairs best with lamb gyros, roasted eggplant and a Tom Waits record.
