MEDIUM-BODIED, CITRUS, TROPICAL, MINERAL, GREEN HERBS, NO OAK
Citrus notes with tropical character, minerality, and an herbaceous finish. Crisp acidity reminiscent of green apple and line show on the palate, with just a hint of salinity to round out the finish. Winemaker’s random obsession with bears lends itself to the theme of the labels.

Nebbiolo
MED-LIGHT-BODIED, ROSE PETALS, VIOLET, RIPE RED FRUIT, SMOKE, SPICE, OAK
This fragrant, textbook nebbiolo from a small family farm (est. 1851) in the heart of the Roero is essentially a declassified, youthful Barolo. The estate has adopted organic methods and uses natural fertilizers and no herbicides; wine is from 30 year old vines and aged on average for six months in barrique, and two months in bottle before release. A joy on it’s own, but can also stand up to food!ECOLOGY: Practicing Organic

Christian Binner (maker of legendary “zero-zero” wines in Alsace for over 20 years) launched “Les Vins Pirouettes” to support small vignerons in making soulful, terroir-driven wines under their own names — a welcome alternative to selling their grapes to co-ops at criminally low prices. Each wine released from the collective is completely unique (and very limited) — generous and easy-to-drink, ‘Eros’ falls on the side of less funky and is a perfect orange wine for any drinker.
