We love Library Releases because it allows us to hang on to bottles for a bit longer and let the wines really grow up. Harlots is a white wine field blend that sees some whole cluster and skin fermentation and some oxygen for a sprightly cuvee from the Vergennes vineyard, an open meadow replete with Queen Anne’s Lace and red clover. The name is inspired by a medieval recipe that we like to cook in the winter called An Orange Omelet for Harlots and Ruffians, created by a German chef for an Italian pope in the 1400’s, a cook who shaped recipes for both harlots and princes. Likewise, we believe this wine is suitable for both ascetics and débauchées, but rest assured it can be enjoyed without risk of moral corruption. 25% Frontenac Gris, 75% La Crescent Wild yeast No added sulfites Grown on clay and limestone We like this wine with: Oysters, smoked, broiled, or raw Smoked fish Speck Roasted cod with black olives and rosemary Roast pork shoulder Roast Turkey Chicken roasted with lemon and black pepper Garlic braised broccoli rabe Escarole Caesar salad Crispy roasted Brussel sprouts
