July: Iberian Sunrises & Mediterranean Sunsets

What We're Pouring
This month's lineup celebrates the wines that define long lunches, seaside cafés, and golden-hour tables overlooking the sea. Expect crisp island whites, mineral-driven coastal pours, refreshing bubbles, elegant rosés, and soulful reds that tell the story of the places they come from.
Rather than chasing familiar grapes, we're highlighting producers preserving native varieties - from Greece's floral Moschofilero and Cyprus' centuries-old Xinisteri to Portugal's Touriga Nacional and Lebanon's historic Merwah. Some vineyards overlook the Mediterranean; others have been making wine since long before modern borders existed.
Featured Highlights
- Sardinian sparkling wine inspired by the island's famous coasts
- Greek island whites bursting with citrus, sea spray, and mountain herbs
- Portugal's bright, refreshing Vinho Verde alongside elegant Touriga Nacional
- Lebanese wines crafted from indigenous grapes grown in ancient mountain valleys
