Our Commitment
With great wine comes great responsibility...
Our mantra, in a glass
As we traveled through the Vinho Verde region, we were inspired by the incredible diversity of the winemakers we met in what has traditionally been a very conventional industry.
As a gay couple who owns a wine business, we're proud to share our love of Portuguese wine while celebrating authenticity, inclusion, and community. Every bottle we import represents not only an exceptional family winery, but also the belief that there's room for everyone at the table.
We hope that by being visible as LGBTQ+ business owners, we can encourage others—both within the wine world and beyond—to embrace kindness, acceptance, and the freedom to be exactly who they are.
Our small business is proof that passion, hard work, and love can bring people together across cultures, backgrounds, and borders.
Now everybody say, "LOVE!"...and wine! 🍷

Why Mass-Produced Wines Are Bad
Mass-produced wines use low quality & unripe grapes to fill demand, and that's just the begining of it...
Farming
Mass-producers use chemical pesticides, which at the least, distort & taint the flavor of the wine, and at the worst, are extremely bad for you and the environment.
Harvesting
Mass-producers use large machines to harvest, removing every single grape, including rotten & unripe grapes. They are then crammed into large containers & sprayed with chemicals to prevent oxidation.
Vinification
75 legal compounds are used to enhance color, flavor & texture - including milk, egg whites & fish bladders - plus added sugar, which is the main culprit for hangovers!
Bottling
Grape juice can be transported vast distances - even to different countries - to be bottled, so increased amounts of preservatives, like sulphites are added.
Our Best Selling Wines
Our Wines Vs. Others
Bottom line, our wines are just better. Here's why...
There’s nothing easier than grabbing a cheap bottle of wine from the store - but have you ever wondered how mass-produced wines are made?
Unfortunately, none of the ingredients of wines are required by the FDA to appear on the label, which can sometimes lead to some shady practices in winemaking.
Unlike mass-produced wines, we promise artisanal wine that is made from high quality grapes, from producers with low-intervention wine-making methods & green farming practices - so next time, choose us and not them!
