Jolie-Laide translates loosely to "Pretty-Ugly", a French term of endearment to describe something that is unconventionally beautiful. Considered 'avant garde' for challenging the status quo of what California wine is known for, Jolie-Laide wines push the varietal envelope, creating unique varietals not historically grown in California. Their winemaking philosophy is simple: low intervention and naturally mindful. Grapes are left whole cluster, foot crushed, and aged in neutral oak. Fruit is generally harvested early to keep acidity in tact, and all fermentation is done with natural yeasts. Their wines and labels change every year, showcasing new varietals and local artist talent. Stop in anytime on May 11 to taste these beautiful, eccentric wines. Our rep will be here at 3pm to discuss.
