Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.
Why it works with Egg Custard With Caramel Sauce
Bubbles with eggs is the brunch classic — Champagne cuts richness, lifts soft yolks.
Sparkling · Light · Sweet
Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.
Why it works with Egg Custard With Caramel Sauce
Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Egg Custard With Caramel Sauce
Light white that works with omelets, quiche, and shakshuka.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.
