Petit Monde Wine Merchant
“Petit Monde Wine Merchant is a Direct Importer of small production wines from France and Italy. We self-distribute our wines with the hope to connect producers and consumers as closely as we can and provide value to the market. We like the word “personal” to describe the wines we source. This refers to the scale of farming and production but also to the deep commitment of the people making these hand-crafted wines. All producers farm sustainably with a growing majority following organic and/or biodynamic practices. Some wines come from established growing regions, but many do not. Those hidden gems are a particular thrill to bring to you. We hope you enjoy our selections!”

Case Paolin, Prosecco, Treviso Italy $21
Just north of Venice lies the prosecco region of Treviso. Wonderful bubbly from the grape Glera mostly. Citrus blossom, pear and a whiff of wild herb aromas carry over to the palate along with white peach and a hint of lemon drop. It's bright and creamy, with lively acidity and a soft mousse.
Boesch, Edelzwicker, Alsace France $21
The Edelzwicker or, field blend, here is Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and some Muscat. All that might sounds complicated but it’s just delicious. The aromatic nose gives way to rose petals and lime zest. Great minerals with crisp acidity & clean finish.

This is “skin contact” wine... Also called Orange wines, and Extended Maceration wines. Meaning they let the juice sit on the skins longer than average white wines. Sometimes days sometimes months. This extracts a bit more color and richness. from the grapes. with a golden peach hue. Nice Richness. Notes of citrus, peach, and nectarine. Zesty.
