We are excited to participate in RAW WINE 2022 NYC Fall edition! 

The Raw Wine Festival is the largest and most prestigious natural wine festival in the world. Its next stop in NY is next weekend in Brooklyn. For a mini preview, join us at Cork Wine Hoboken this Friday Nov 10 from 5-8pm for a free tasting of these special wines.

Bodegas Altolandon produces exceptional wines from a 100-hectare biodynamic vineyard in Manchuela, Spain. Their high-altitude vineyard, with warm day time and cool nighttime temperatures is an ideal climate for organic viticulture. All the wines ferment with native yeasts, are bottled without filtration, and without added sulfur.

Anapea Village produces wine in Kakheti of the Republic of Georgia. Their vineyards are biodynamic, and all the wines see extended skin contact macerations in qvevri. They make wine using the ancient 8000-year-old traditions of the Caucasus Mountain Region, believed to be birthplace of wine. The wines are wild yeast fermented, bottled without filtration, no additions, and without added sulfur.

We are excited to have Marta joining us at Cork.  We will be sampling a few of her great wines and hope you will join us!

From grapes harvested at their perfect degree of ripeness, hand picked, in boxes of 25 kilos. From the vineyards in the Salnés Valley. Stemmed grape soft pressed and, following a light debourbage, the must ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks where they subsequently rest and stabilize until bottled.

Tasting: Straw yellow with greenish iridescence, with a highly expressive nose, marked by its varietal origin, where ripe fruit and citric fruits are noted ... 
Very elegant on the mouth and well-structured, reminiscent of fresh fruit ... with a long, marked finish.

Tasting: Ruby red, well-covered, with a young, bright appearance. Clean on the nose, with no faults, fruity aromas particular to the variety, and reminiscences of minerals. Good finish in the mouth, silky, unctuous, with a solid structure (despite being a young wine), a very well-balanced acidity and good aftertaste.

Pairing: Tender meats, white meats, roast poultry, tender casseroles, fish stews and octopus

Join us Friday and Saturday afternoons for our Riesling Tasting.  We will be sampling wines from Germany, France, and Oregon.

Riesling is a white grape varietal indigenous to the Rhine region of Germany. It is a light skinned and aromatic grape and is commonly thought to be one of the world’s finest white grape varietals along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The variety is widely planted in Germany, but is also grown in California, Oregon and Washington State, the Alsace region of France, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. And New York's Finger Lakes.

Riesling is known for it’s expressive and alluring bouquet, which suggests flowers, green apples, grapefruit, peach, and honeysuckle blossoms. While many associate Riesling with sweet wine, it actually produces a wide array of wines ranging from dry and complex to very sweet. 

Its naturally high acidity gives it a fresh, crisp taste, and even the sweeter styles are not too thick or syrupy. Riesling is affected by the climate and soil, or the terroir, of the region in which it is grown. For example Californian Rieslings tend to be drier and softer and may have a melon-like taste, while German Rieslings are generally sweeter, more tart, with a peach, apricot, or grapefruit flavor.

Because of its balance of acidity and sugar, Riesling is considered a versatile and food friendly wine. 

Dry Riesling is an ideal wine for pairing with seafood like lobster, oysters, or battered fish. It also complements chicken, pork, and light pastas, as well as vegetarian dishes. Sweeter and off-dry varieties go well with slightly sweeter food such as sweet barbeque sauces and fruit chutneys, and vegetables like corn, yams, turnips, and parsnips. The sweeter Rieslings make an excellent match for many Indian and Chinese dishes as well. 

Both varieties of Riesling are great with duck, goose, turkey, game birds, ham, sausage, and cold cuts, as well as spices like cinnamon, clove, ginger, cumin, and curry. 

Ancient Grape Varietals 

Modern Winemaking 

In the North, the focus is on red wines, with the best vineyards found at higher elevations (over 250 m / 1,000 ft). 

For example, on the slopes of Mount Olympus, the region Rapsani is where you’ll find bush vines of Xinomavro, Krasato, and Stavroto growing on schist soils. Wines from here are usually blends, with a dominance of Xinomavro and spicy flavors of raspberry, anise, fennel, cherry, and occasionally olive or tomato with tannins that build slowly (but surely!) on the palate. This area is kind of like the mountainous Rhône of Greece, which means the wines from here are ideal for Rhône blend lovers.
