Hannah's Staff Pick - La Collina 'Quaresimo' Lambrusco dell'Emilia Rosso NV

I find myself drawn to the refreshing elegance of Vices & Vertus 'Orgueil' Brut Rosé, a sparkling creation crafted by the talented winemaker Louise Chéreau. With each sip, I'm transported to sun-drenched afternoons on the patio, surrounded by blooming flowers and the promise of new beginnings. What sets this wine apart is not just its delicate aromas of cherry blossom and strawberry, or its clean palate with hints of fresh whipped cream, but the story behind it – a story of resilience, innovation, and the unwavering spirit of a woman winemaker. Louise's dedication to her craft shines through in every bubble, making 'Orgueil' not just a wine, but a celebration of female empowerment and the beauty of springtime. So as the weather warms and the days grow longer, I raise my glass to Louise and to all the women who continue to defy expectations and create magic in every bottle. Cheers to spring, to patio weather, and to the joy of savoring life's simple pleasures.
