On this “Día de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) we gather in celebration, featuring some very spirited wines indeed! Since our event falls on this unique holiday, let’s celebrate with the festive world of skin-contact wines! These are white wines which have been treated in the same manner as red wines, with extended maceration between juice and skins, encouraging eternal bliss and angelic deliciousness. Europe has been a focal point for the deepest skin-contact styles for decades (orange wines), in regions spanning Italy to the Caucasus. The rest of the wine world caught on to the trend in recent years, and we now see niche producers near and far trying things out. Join us to see what it’s like to have some skin in the game!
