THE PERFECT WINES FOR FONDUE
Valtènesi La Botte Piena 2013
"Mediterranean flavors on a mountain structure." Notes of wild herbs and shrubbery mingle with fresh, ripe, dark fruits over soft and cozy tannins, lifted by a bright acidity. A bargain everyday quaffed from an unheralded region, this wine is also exceptionally versatile at table. Our advice: keep a bottle on hand at all times, and don't be afraid to slightly chill it before indulging.

Bisson Vino Bianco Frizzante 2016
Organic
Made using careful temperature regulation in order to preserve delicacy and freshness, the wine is bottled with just two grams per liter of residual sugar. A refreshingly bone-dry offering that stands in sharp contrast to its many cloying peers. Clean, bright, and refreshing, it presents notes of acacia honey, white flowers, crunchy green apples, and tart nectarines atop a subtly mineral underlay.

Domaine de la Prébende Beaujolais 2016
The Anna Asmaquer Beaujolais is an old vine blend with profound minerality, a bright wild berry nose, and possesses typical Beaujolais finesse. The grapes are harvested manually and vinified completely without SO2. The wines are not chaptalized, filtered, or degassed and only natural yeasts are used for the fermentation. La Prébende crafts one of the best Beaujolais AOC values available today.
