Friday Night Tasting: Wines Aged in Clay | 9.4.26 5-7:30pm

The relationship between wine and clay is a long one. Humans have been crafting clay vessels to transport, ferment, age or serve wine since neolithic times. Amphorae and kvevris (traditional clay vessels that have been used in winemaking in the Republic of Georgia for millennia) have come back into vogue recently for their sought after properties. Like oak barrels, clay vessels are porous, allowing the resting wines to develop and mature with some oxygen exchange; unlike oak, clay doesn’t impart much flavor allowing the fruit to speak for itself. 

We'll be pouring 4 wines from around the world fermented in clay amphora.

Bread will be provided. 

As always, all featured wines are available for sale at 10% off.
