What is Pét-Nat?

BY KRISTEN LINDBECK While pét-nats seem to be all the rage for some, others are still on the fence, wondering what a pét-nat is and if they should care more about them and maybe jump on the pét-nat train, too. You are not lame or behind the times if you don't know what a pét-nat is, and it's okay if you've never had one. It's also okay if you don't (or think you don't) like them, but give us a chance today to explain them, defend them and define them a bit, and you might walk away from this [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Krasno Sparkling Rebula

Devin has a Slovenian Sparkler for your Holidays. Yes, we said "Slovenian." Krasno Sparkling Rebula Not usually mentioned when thinking of wine-producing countries, Slovenia produces some exquisite wines, including this bubbler. Give your next mimosa or spritz a little extra sparkle. This wine, from Goriška Brda (yep, that's spelled correctly), the westernmost region of Slovenia (a.k.a. "The Tuscany of Slovenia"), is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla from 10–to–25-year-old vines. It presents shy aromas of green apple, then bursts with energetic tangerine interwoven with the soft, lingering minerality of marl. To preserve viticulture in Brda, traditional know-how is passed from [...]

Refresh with these Spanish Pét-Nats

Pét-Nats are the way more fun and wilder version of French Champagne. Petulante White Pét-Nat & Petulante Rosé Pét-Nat - Spain Despite its recent surge in popularity, Pét-Nat is actually far from being the new hipster kid on the block. A Pét-Nat (short for the French pétillant naturel, which means "natural sparkling") is a wine made according to the ancestral method. Developed in the 16th century, this is the oldest way of making sparkling wine. But don't let its trendiness scare you away. Pét-Nats come with a much smaller price tag than French Champagne, and they are way more [...]
