A Word From Our Founder

Hi friends,

December is here, and with it comes that special mix of reflection, celebration, and slowing down. It is the kind of month that invites longer dinners, good music, and bottles opened with intention. A time to gather when we can, pause when we need to, and savor the small moments that make the season feel meaningful.

To our longtime members, thank you for carrying MYSA with you through another year. Your continued support of small, thoughtful producers around the world is what makes this club possible, and we are endlessly grateful. And to everyone joining us for the first time this month, welcome. We are so happy you are here and cannot wait for you to settle into the rhythm of the club.

This month’s red selection feels just right for December. Expressive, soulful, and full of character. These are wines with warmth and energy, the kind that shine at the dinner table, hold their own through a long evening, and still feel easy to drink when you just want a quiet glass to unwind. They are versatile, comforting, and a little celebratory, without being heavy or over the top.

As the year comes to a close, we hope these bottles bring you moments of connection, whether shared with friends and family or enjoyed solo in a rare moment of calm. Thank you for being part of the MYSA community and for choosing to support independent growers with every shipment.

Here’s to a cozy, joyful December and a beautiful year ahead.

Cheers,
Holly

Hugo Mendes trained as a biomedical engineer, but in 2004 he discovered his true calling in winemaking. After years working in cellars and consulting across Portugal, he launched his own project in 2016, starting with a small batch of friend’s grapes and pre-selling wine over social media to fund the bottling. Based in Alenquer, north of Lisbon, Hugo focuses on indigenous grapes and natural freshness, crafting wines that capture the vibrant, chalky-clay soils and sunny, slightly Mediterranean climate of Lisboa. His wines are both expressive of their terroir and effortlessly drinkable, reflecting his creativity, passion, and commitment to a new generation of Portuguese winemaking.

Focusing on indigenous grapes like Assyrtiko, Roditis, and Agiorgitiko, Denthis produces natural, low-intervention wines that are fresh, mineral-driven, and highly food-friendly. Their accessible “Stamnaki” line and select “Lost” wines showcase authentic, unpretentious Greek styles, often made with biodynamic or traditional methods across regions such as Peloponnese.

Dominique Derain is a trailblazer of biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy. Even before formal winemaking studies in Beaune, he honed his craft crafting wine barrels, showcasing his profound understanding. In 1988, his commitment blossomed when he and his wife acquired vineyards in Saint-Aubin, nestled among esteemed Burgundy appellations. Embracing biodynamic principles, they nurtured vines with organic elements like manure and silica, earning certification in 1989, among the region's pioneers. Dominique's hallmark lies in his pursuit of finesse and minimal intervention.
