BIELER FAMILY, DAISY HAZY ORANGE WINE 2023, WASHINGTON, USA $15.99 Crafted by the Bieler Family, a producer widely celebrated for its low-intervention philosophy, mindful sustainable farming, and innovative approach to traditional winemaking. The 2024 "Daisy Hazy" Skin Contact Orange Wine beautifully highlights their commitment to texture and character. In the glass, it pours a distinctively hazy, slightly pinkish-amber hue and unfolds with vibrant aromas of orange peel, dried apricot, white peach, ginger, and wild strawberry. On the palate, it offers an enveloping, full-bodied mouthfeel framed by silky, red wine-like tannins, an underlying flinty minerality, and a savory, briny umami finish. Thanks to its unique structure, it serves as a highly versatile food companion; its tannic frame and bright lift cut beautifully through the richness of charcuterie boards and hard, aged cheeses like Comté or Manchego, while its savory depth makes it a brilliant match for spiced Middle Eastern dishes, citrus-infused seafood, or light poultry.

The 2025 La Scolca Gavi captures this legacy with a crisp, bone-dry profile featuring an intense bouquet of delicate florals, fresh citrus, and orchard fruits underpinned by a signature flinty minerality and a long finish of almond and lime. Its vibrant, high acidity makes it an exceptional partner for delicate food pairings, effortlessly cutting through the richness of oysters, grilled shellfish, and seafood risotto, while beautifully complementing sushi, fresh vegetable antipasti, and light white meats.

Their 2024 "The Little One" Pinot Blanc beautifully reflects this philosophy, offering a crisp and vibrant tasting profile defined by aromatic alpine herbs, succulent stone fruit, and bright citrus zest, all rounded out by a silken, waxy texture and a lip-smacking, tart finish. To perfectly complement its refreshing acidity and clean minerality, pair this dry white wine with fresh seafood like oysters or grilled trout, roasted lemon poultry, or creamy soft cheeses like goat cheese and Camembert.
