Muti Albariño is a tribute to mothers everywhere, but especially Patrick Mata’s mother Christiane, with whom he speaks German at home Muti means Mom in German. Made by Patrick’s lifelong friend and co-founder of Olé & Obrigado, Alberto Orte, along with Rodrigo Méndez of Forjas del Salnés. Muti is a classic expression of Salnés Albariño, sourced from three different sites, the oldest of which was planted in 1912! All in all, this wine showcases the classic terroir of Rí...as Baixas, with intensely maritime character, framed by salinity, flinty minerality and mouthwatering acidity. We recommend treating your mom (or yourself!) to a bottle of Muti with a seafood tower. Muti 2019 is arriving soon to the US! DM us to let us know if you’re interested in buying some when it arrives! : @firstbottlewines #mothersday #mothersdaygift #wineanddine #wine #albariño #winelover #weekendwine #whitewine #momlife #spanishwine

Over four generations, the Piñol family have built their livelihood around their heritage, embracing Mediterranean varietals within their picturesque vineyards located in Batea, an hour’s drive southwest from Barcelona. Passionate advocates for the region’s traditional varieties (like indigenous Garnacha Blanca and Morenillo) yet always keeping an eye on the future by farming sustainably and organically, Celler Piñol and their wines are the perfect reflection of this corner o...f Cataluna. DO Terra Alta is one of Spain's up-and-coming wine regions, with an identity built on exciting projects and progressive innovation. Juanjo's mother Josefina remains in charge of the family cellar and works closely with winemaker, Cristina Borrull, who is a rising star in Spanish winemaking. With Juanjo Piñol at the helm of wine sales (and you can follow along with his world travels on his Instagram!) the Piñol family are able to take their small production regional wines all over the globe. Comment if you’ve gotten to spend time with the incredible Piñol family and DM us to find their wines near you!

To-do list: Eat, drink, nap, be grateful. Why does food and wine always taste better in great company? #ThrowbackThursday to gathering with our wine friends at FitaPreta Vinhos with winemaker Antonio Maçanita and his family winery team. We’re thankful for the experiences of touring FItapreta’s winery, gobbling down delicious Portuguese cuisine, drinking Alentejano wines with true character, like Touriga Vai Nua... and elastic waistbands. Touriga Vai Nua" has a clever n...ame- Touriga representing the queen grape of Portugal and Vai Nua meaning goes nude. This naked red is unoaked and unblended, displaying a beautiful duality of ripe fruit paired with floral and even juicy citrus notes. We love to serve this with the slightest chill, letting the wine show off its best angles and freshest acidity. Best of all, it tastes great even 3 days after opening it- perfect for those turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving #thanksgivingwine #wine #winetime #tbt
