About Monje

"The Monje family has been making wine since 1750. For generations they have passed their passion for and knowledge of the land from father to son. Today Felipe Monje continues the family tradition. Felipe stewards some of the oldest vines on Tenerife (300+++ years old!) and his cellar, full of 200-year old barrels, is a paean to the history of the trade routes that first brought the Canary Islands to worldwide viticultural renown." — Bowler Wine

About Il Sasso

“The vineyard is where it all begins, 10 hectares in one of the most suitable areas of the historic Valpolicella, 300 meters above sea level. Our vineyards of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella are trained in Guyot on south-facing hilly terraces. The ground is rough, almost completely rocky, a few centimeters of grass and then, below, the typical yellow calcarenite often present in the hilly outcrops of Valpolicella. The entire vineyard is cultivated according to the dictates of organic farming and much has been done to increase the biodiversity and vitality of the soil. Constant green manuring and replanting of wild species all around the vineyards have recreated an extremely fertile and vital environment. We choose the best bunches at the right degree of ripeness and harvest by hand, in 7 kg crates." - Società Agricola il Sasso

About Kunoh Wines

Most natural winemakers will tell you they make wines that they themselves like to drink; Yuki-san, revealing the former rigorous sommelier still residing inside him, makes wines that he’d like to pair. “Wine has a long history of walking hand in hand with great food cultures of the world, traditionally with the Western ones that are very rich in butter, oil, and meat. But my culture is different. When I was working as a somm in Kyoto fine dining restaurants, I’d sometimes have difficulty finding the perfect wine for pairing… so I ended up trying to make them as I’d like them to match,” he says about the philosophy behind his cute flower-dotted labels, which are created by his friend, a Japanese artist named Sacco. - Jenny & Francois
