A Word From Our Founder

Hey there,

This month’s 6 Bottle Club is a well-rounded lineup for fall: three reds, a crisp white, a juicy rosé and a bottle of bubbles. We’re traveling from France’s Rhône Valley and Catalonia all the way to South Africa and Argentina, with something for every kind of night in.

On the red side, Paul Clüver’s Village Pinot Noir brings bright, cool-climate fruit from Elgin, Maison Bruyère & David’s VdF Syrah offers gentle spice and savory depth, and Can Ràfols dels Caus’ Terraprima Negre is a juicy Catalan red that’s easy to love. The Blacksmith’s Reigning Sun White is zesty and tropical, Bodegas La Mateo’s Letargo Rosado keeps things fresh, and Finca Suárez’s Pét Nat adds a little sparkle.

Pop the Pét Nat to kick off the weekend, save the Syrah for a cozy dinner, and keep the rosé on hand for those warm fall afternoons that sneak up on you.

Thanks for being part of the MYSA community and for supporting the independent growers behind every bottle.

Cheers,

Holly
