Join us for an extra special winemaker tasting PLUS the return of Casa de Kei! Louis-Antoine Luyt is a French, Burgundy-trained winemaker who has played a huge role in fostering a terroir-driven natural wine scene in Chile. When living in Chile years ago, he realized the ancient vines tended by independent farmers were typically undervalued (so the fruit was sold off in bulk), or used for personal winemaking. Working with these farmers, Luyt created new value for their fruit by introducing their “pipeño” wines to the international market. “Pipeño” is the Chilean term for rustic, light, peasant-style wines. Each bottling features a different farmer and site. We’ll feature a skin contact Pipeño, plus wines from two other Luyt projects in Chile: a light red of País, and a chilled red blend of Carmenere, Pinot Noir, Pais & Merlot. We’re thrilled to welcome Louis-Antoine to the shop for the first time on Thursday, October 19th, 5-7pm! Pair your tasting with delicious food: Keisuke Akabori will be popping up with the exceptionally creative dishes of Casa de Kei. Stay tuned for a menu!
