French Ciders & Much More Now in Our Portfolio

We are so excited to announce that we've teamed up with French Cider Inc. to now offer our customers a wonderful selection of French ciders, poirés, brandies, and juices. 

  

Founder Joan Harkins developed her passion for French ciders on a family vacation in France. She tasted her first cider in a small café in Saint-Enogat, Brittany, and through the rest of the trip was struck by the diversity and uniqueness of the ciders she enjoyed. Upon returning home to Seattle, she couldn't find any ciders that delivered the same feeling that she'd felt in that small café, so she set out to bring them to the city herself.

  

Joan has already done all of the ground work - she's explored the back roads of Normandy, Brittany and Picardy, developed relationships with the producers and their families there, and has selected the best and most delicious beverages - sure to be something different than anything you've experienced before.

  

Many of the ciders, poirés, and Calvados, Cognac and Armagnac products have never been available in the U.S. before now.

We now offer a selection of French Ciders, Poirés, Brandies &  more

New Italian Producer: Sottimano

We welcome the Sottimano Family to our portfolio

October 1, 2019

The history of Sottimano begins in the late 1960’s, when Rino Sottimano finished his enology studies, and along with his wife Anna, purchased the house and cellar in the Cottá cru and the surrounding vineyards. In the beginning, there were just a few hectares; now, there are 18 hectares total in one of the greatest vineyards in Barbaresco. The second generation is also involved – son and daughter Andrea and Elena Sottimano assist in daily winery operations. The estate vineyards are farmed using sustainable practices. Alcoholic fermentations are completely natural with indigenous yeasts, followed by a long aging in wood “sur lie” to complete malolactic fermentation. There is no use of sulfur until the final bottling, which happens without filtering or fining.
