After Hours: Meet Winemaker Fabien Jouves Sat 5/18

Date: Saturday, May 18

Time: 6:30-8pm

By now a hero of the new Upland wine renaissance, Fabien Jouves’ beginnings were auspicious and fun to witness. He took over his family’s old estate in Causse in 2006: Fabien planted his flag, so to speak, on the highest vineyard in the area to show the full potential of Côt (Malbec) as a nuanced, lifted, pure expression to a wine world perhaps more acquainted with extractive, clumsy varietal bottlings.

His knack for intensive, regenerative farming and intuitive winemaking has often been juxtaposed (and ratified) by clever cuveé names and a bit of a wild-child reputation that has mythologized his status. But make no mistake - he is a seriously great winegrower.

Now, nearly 20 years in, his bottles are iconic, and many have very special places in our hearts (ask us about our history with magnums of “À TABLE!!!” rosé sometime;)

We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Fabien back to the shop, and as a bonus, our dear friend and charismatic importer Laurent Bonnois will be on hand, too.

We’ll be sampling Nectar Des Dieux Rouge, Nectar Des Dieux Blanc, Les Pieces Longues Blanc, You F&@k My Wine Rouge, À Table!!! Rosé

This is a private tasting to allow guests time to ask questions and engage with the group. All tasting wines will be offered at 10% discount if you want to grab any bottles to take home!

Due to the small gathering size, tickets are non-refundable but feel free to give your ticket to a friend if you can’t make it.
