The latest vintage from Spinning Wheel Wines have arrived❣️ Born from a simple “what if” in 2022, this project by friends and wine pros Perry Verge, Alyssa Anderson, and Peter Szilagyi is all about exploring the region’s incredible (and often overlooked) fruit.
Working with Maryland and Virginia-grown grapes as well as the region’s incredible non-vinifera fruits they lean into hybrid varieties, co-ferments, and low-intervention winemaking. Think chardonel, chambourcin, muscadines, and even foraged York apples, all woven together into vibrant, one-of-a-kind uniquely Mid-Atlantic wines.
Produced at Rocklands Farm in Maryland, each vintage reflects both the challenges and beauty of East Coast farming, humidity, frost, and all. From just 480 bottles in their first release to a growing 2024 vintage, Spinning Wheel continues to capture the spirit of this place with curiosity and care.
Spinning Wheel, You Can Have It All, Zephaniah Vineyard, Loudon County, Virginia 2024
Spinning Wheel, Not Nothing, Mount Airy Vineyard, Augusta County, Virginia 2024
Spinning Wheel, Wolf Sisters, Thompson Vineyard, Pittsylvania County, Virginia 2024
Borderland magic from the hills of Friuli, Paraschos “Kai” is a soulful, skin macerated Friulano from Collio Goriziano (Goriška Brda), right on the Italy–Slovenia border where cultures, languages, and flavors beautifully collide. Crafted by brothers Alexis & Jannis with their father Evangelos, this is natural winemaking at its most honest: organic farming, native yeast, no filtration, no SO₂ just time, patience, and tradition.
Aromas of honey, beeswax, and a hint of sea breeze lead into a textured, elegant palate with a bright, saline lift. Fermented in open oak vats and aged for two years in large Slavonian casks, it’s a wine that feels both grounded and transcendent.
For the lovers of graceful, expressive whites this one’s special.
Join us Wednesday 03/25/26 from 5-7pm as we welcome w/ Ferran Lacruz of Bodegas Clandestina to Mount Pleasant.
Ferran will be pouring 3 wines and chatting about all things Catalan.
Featured wines L to R:
El Soci, Macabeo
Blanc Fugitiu “The Fugitive”, Xarel•lo
Imputat, Sumoll
Ferran Lacruz farms 8 hectares of vines in Catalonia, in the small village of Sant Marti Sarroca, in the heart of the Penedès wine region. Ferran started this project with his first vintage of 2018. He works completely outside of any appellation, farms the grapes organically, and is not adding anything to any of the wines. All the grapes are hand-harvested, and nothing is filtered or fined. Ferran grew up in this part of Catalonia, and since being a small child was seduced by the landscape, natural beauty, and the important of wine producing in the culture.
Wednesday March 18, 2026 we will be pouring 3 offerings from Bodegas Alvear, the oldest winery in Andalusia and one of the oldest winery families in Spain.
- Bodegas Alvear 3 Miradas Vino de Pueblo
- Bodegas Alvear 3 Miradas Clasico Cerro Macho
- Bodegas Alvear Amontillado Sherry
Bodegas Alvear has maintained the family legacy of highlighting the Pedro Ximénez grape variety for more than 300 years, now managed by the eighth generation of the family. Pedro Ximénez is not only the star of DO Montilla-Moriles but also of the wines and vineyards at Bodegas Alvear. Legend has it that Pedro Ximénez was brought from the Rhine by a solider serving in the Spanish army in Flanders, who consequently gave it his name.
In general, the bodega’s vineyards are cultivated on exceptionally chalky soils. The region boasts two very distinct soil types: white ‘albariza or albero’ soils which are very chalky, porous, poor in organic material and produce low yields, and where the grapes are subject to a longer and more balanced ripening process; and ‘ruedo’ soils that are red in colour due to the presence of iron oxides, and which, in contrast, accelerate the ripening process.
Caruso & Minini, Arancino, Terre Siciliane, Sicily, Italy 2024
Caruso & Minini is currently in led by sisters Giovanna and Rosanna Caruso on Sicily’s western coast near the hills of Marsala.
Arancino, meaning little orange and a nod to the local Sicilian rice ball of the same name, is an organic orange wine made of mostly Catarratto with a bit of Inzolia. The wine ferments using indigenous yeasts and spends 20 days on the skins before being aged sur lees in stainless steel for four months. Golden yellow color with delicate copper hues, Oolong tea, Quince, dried apricot with hints of candied citrus fruits, Mediterranean herbs, mineral sea salt like salinity and tannicity harmonize with each other showing freshness and giving an elegant and persistent finish.
12.5% ABV
The Liquori delle Sirene are a collection of bitters and liqueurs made by the lovely Elisa Carta, a trained sommelier and olive oil taster, and a passionate herbalist. All of her products were born on Lake Garda, and were inspired by its gardens, colors, sunsets, and aromas. Many of the botanicals come from here. The name Sirene is a tribute to one of the most beautiful bays in the lake, Baia delle Sirene (Bay of the Sirens), and its story. Liquori delle Sirene are the fruit of a long and passionate research, and the reworking of old family recipes for Italian liqueurs and elixirs. No chemicals or artificial coloring are used in any of Elisa’s products.
VINO AMARO ‘AMARULIVO’
For the Amarulivo (a combination of the words ‘amaro’ and ‘ulivo’ or olive), Elisa was inspired by the olive trees that grow prolifically around Lake Garda and the leaves serve as the primary bittering agent. The base wine is the local Trebbiano di Lugano (genetically identical to Verdicchio) and adds brightness and freshness that make this traditional digestivo attractive as an aperitivo as well. Notes of tangerine, peach tea, cardamom pods and lemon balm round out the palate.
