Ott is one of our all-time favorite Austrian producers, period. So we're thrilled to announce that on Wednesday, March 12, we're hosting Bernhard Ott himself on the mezzanine for a seminar featuring an extensive lineup (three flights!) of his delightful, incredibly expressive biodynamic wines.

Bernhard says, "If you want terroir, like to feel the wine and in its taste for its fundamental influences, then you need to give up intervention at all. It's a matter of trust: in your own potential and in the fact that our nature is strong enough to develop on its own if you let it happen. From this Bernhard OTT is convicted. In the year 2006 the change over to the biodynamic way of farming began, and the winemaker from Wagram adjusted 100% to the rhythm of the nature. Without compromise and fully open to that what each vintage has ready for us."

The Ott family has been growing and producing wine in the region of Wagram in Lower Austria since 1889. Bernhard Ott is of the fourth generation and has managed the winery since 1993 when he took the helm from his father. When he came home to the winery as a 21-year-old, he was interested in producing wines of the highest quality. Bernhard wanted to prove that elegant and long lived wines could be produced from Grüner Veltliner grown on loess soil, specifically from Rosenberg vineyard.  Bernhard replaced the old wooden casks with stainless steel and began working the vineyards with an aim for the highest high quality. In 2018, nearly 30 years after taking over and switching all vinification and élevage to steel, Bernhard began working with varying sizes of Stockinger fuders. He first began practicing organic farming in 2004 and has been farming biodynamically since 2006.

Seating is very limited for this exclusive masterclass. The cost of this seminar is $50 and a $20 credit at the store will be extended to each guest for a future purchase. We hope you can join us on Wednesday, March 12 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this not-to-be-missed event.

Maxime Magnon's Delightful, Foillard-Influenced Duo: A Corbières Couplet

Maxime Magnon’s wines are love letters to the rugged, rocky, high-elevation slopes of Corbières, a tiny village in an obscure corner of the Languedoc. He has an enviable collection of old vines on limestone and schist, from which he makes profoundly elegant, deeply soulful wines that speak clearly of their terroir. They are the definition of deliciousness and an utter joy to drink.

A Flatiron Favorite Rosé Returns: Boudignon's 2024 Rosé de Loire

How does Thibault Boudignon, a master of Chenin Blanc, craft one of the Loire Valley's most coveted rosés?

It might seem surprising. After all, pink wine and white wine look pretty different at first glance. But Boudignon makes his rosé much like a traditional white wine. While some winemakers “bleed” a little juice off their red wine while it’s still macerating on the skins (which can make a darker, more powerful rosé), Boudignon works more like he’s making a white wine.

The Birds, the Bees and Volcanic Soils Make for Stunning White Wines from I Pentri

Should the great white wines of Campania be aged? Well, that depends on the grape variety. A top-quality Falanghina can use just a year or two in the cellar to blow off its reductive notes and harmonize its flavors. Fiano, meanwhile, with its coiled minerality and taut structure, is capable of aging beautifully for years.
