'Adventurous Wines' Pack | October 2026
Off the beaten track varietals, to push your palate. No regrets!
October's Adventurous Wines 3-Pack Includes:
1. NV Domaine Champalou Vouvray Brut
Chenin Blanc | Vouvray, Loire Valley, FR | Céline Champalou | Domaine Champalou
Oooh yeah, Loire Valley bubbles for the win! There’s a lovely tension that occurs as a result of grapes being picked at full ripeness which enhances the rich, luscious fruit characteristics, and then fermentation and aging in stainless steel, which highlights a delicate, fresh, clean experience.
2. 2024 Good Vibes Wine Co. 'The Alt' Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner | Marlborough, NZ | Alejandra Ruiz Lagos | Good Vibes Wine Co.
A textural white wine from Chilean-born winemaker Alejandra, who with her co-founder Rae, are making singular small-batch wines that centre the fruit, and the place. This Austrian variety, when fermented in oak, leans into an oily, tropical yellow fruit, white pepper, salted coconut vibe - yum!
3. 2024 Vinařství Plenér Frankovka (Blaufränkish)
Blaufränkisch | Mikulovska, Moravia, Czech Republic | Dominika Černohorská | Vinařství Plenér
Another Czech wine this month! Known for being a thick, dark-skinned variety, this wine has been made with a light touch. It’s all purple fruits - plums, cherries, blueberries & violets - with a sappy, smoky, dusty aroma. Coupled with gentle yet chalky tannins, it’s particularly great for Aperitivo!
