What's all this hype about natural wine? Why is some of it delicious but some of it tastes like the bottle of kombucha I forgot in my car in the middle of August? What characterizes a wine as "natural" anyway, isn't it all grown from natural grapes?

These are all excellent questions! Come by the shop this Thursday to taste seven natural wines and learn more about what makes them "natural." Let us help you debunk the myth that all natural wines are "natty!"

Praise for Lepiane Wines:

We happen to think that Alison is crazy-talented – apparently so does one Alecia Moore (aka Pink), since Alison is making HER wine, Two Wolves, too. We are not alone in our opinions… 

 "L.A. Lapiane makes a convincing case for Italian varieties in California's Central Coast." 2018 Winemaker To Watch - Esther Mobley, SF Chronicle 

 "Her Nebbiolo is an example of compelling perfumed perfection." - Claire Tooley, MW, Decanter Magazine
