Wines in this Collection
2022 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore “Capovolto”
Italy | Le Marche
February Adventures Club ~ It’s both inviting––it makes for a lovely apéritif––and angular, prime to accompany lemony pasta dishes, clams, or flavorful and rich vegetarian lasagnas.
2020 Saint-Joseph Blanc
France | Northern Rhône
February Club Bianco ~ Like eating lemon curd at a party that Renoir might have painted—think something like Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette.

When the esteemed French wine artist Michel Tolmer created beautiful artwork for our 50th anniversary, we knew right away that we had to feature it on a few select items of merch. After spending maybe a little too much time researching the options, we landed on a classy, leather-strap cap, a comfortable t-shirt made from 100% cotton, and a tote made with incredibly sturdy, fair-trade, and organic cotton by a certified B corp that invests in the livelihoods of women and farmers of India, featuring three wine sleeves and two other compartments for all of your other needs!
