Syrah/Carmenere blends from Chile. Currently in love with Lambrusco Salamino, though.

Dogs – all of the dogs.

What song would you pick for karaoke?

Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band. Or Yeah! by Usher.

Jason MacPhee's Picks

Crowd Pleasing + Entertaining


In the hills between Parma and Reggio Emilia you will find Venturini Baldini. An estate founded in 1976 known for making the highest quality sparkling wines. The Venturini Baldini family focused on organic farming and those traditions are continued and managed today by the Prestia family. They produce many organic sparkling wines that show the diversity of Emilia Romagna and leading the way is their Montelocco Rosso 

Delightful aromatics of dark fruit (cherries and blackberries) on the nose. The fruit is tart on the palate accompanied by a note of chocolate. The bubbles are soft and frothy. There is just a hint of tannin to give the wine structure. Lambrusco is great for any holiday get together and a conversation starter.
