There’s always an easier version.
The safe one.
The one that follows the rules and never asks you to think twice.
These aren’t those wines.
Every bottle in this lineup started with a choice: follow the expectations, or step outside them. Across regions known for tradition, these producers chose a different direction. A lighter, more lifted take on a classic red. A Chardonnay with less polish and more personality. An orange wine rooted in old practices rather than modern trends. Wines that don’t reject tradition, but reinterpret it.
Off Script is about intention over convention. Wines that feel alive, a little unpredictable, and more expressive because of it. Nothing here is made to fit neatly into a category. Instead, each bottle reflects a decision to push past what’s expected and land somewhere more interesting.
A bright, quietly structured red where you might expect weight. A textured white that leans into energy over richness. An orange wine with depth and grip. A fresh, mineral-driven white that redefines a familiar grape. Each bottle carries its own perspective, shaped less by rules and more by curiosity.
Not polished. Not predictable.
Just wines that chose a different path and are better for it.

March Theme: Between Seasons March lives in the in-between. Still cold at night. Brighter in the afternoon. You’re craving freshness, but not ready to let go of structure. The heaviness of winter feels out of place, yet full spring brightness hasn’t fully arrived. This month’s collection sits directly in that middle space. Between Seasons is about tension in the best way. Wines that carry lift without feeling thin. Bottles that offer depth without weight. Nothing overworked. Nothing fleeting. Just enough brightness to feel new, and enough grounding to feel complete. These are wines that unfold as you sit with them. A chillable red with grip. A textured white that hums with acidity. A sparkling that feels alive and precise. Each bottle tuned to this moment of subtle transition. Not winter. Not yet spring. Just enough light to open something new. 2024 Guímaro Ribeira Sacra Tinto Galicia, Spain – red; mencía, brancellao, caiño, marenzao A natural-leaning red from steep Galician slopes, blending native varieties into a wine that balances dark fruit and lift.

February Theme: The New Classics February is about revisiting the familiar and discovering it all over again. This month’s box explores modern expressions of classic wine ideas. These are wines inspired by time-honored regions, traditional grape varieties, and iconic styles, but shaped by today’s sensibilities. Think brighter fruit, fresher structure, and a sense of energy that feels right at home on a modern table. They are rooted in history but made for how we drink now. You will notice a balance between comfort and surprise. Some bottles may echo wines you already love, while others reinterpret classic styles in ways that feel new, lively, and exciting. The throughline is drinkability, wines with clarity, character, and a point of view. These are the kinds of bottles that shine with food, spark conversation, and remind you why certain wine traditions endured in the first place. They carry the soul of the old world, the openness of the new, and a style that bridges both. February is a moment to rediscover the foundations of great wine, not as museum pieces, but as living traditions being refreshed by a new generation of winemakers. 2024 Vera de Estenas Utiel-Requena Bobal Utiel-Requena, Spain – red; bobal From organically farmed bush-trained vines aged 55–95 years, grown on calcareous clay soils scattered with river stones at elevation.
