How Wine Regions Work Tote Bag

One part’s too high up. One part’s too wet. There’s a market town where the money is, and a hill with a famous name. Some of the places where the ground changes are a little more interesting than others. Secretly a map of Beaujolais.

10oz. unbleached organic cotton tote stitched by workers on the East Coast making a living wage. 18×15.5″, roomy enough to hold everything from groceries to library books to a half case of wine, sturdy enough to carry everything your shoulder can take

Underdog Grapes Fleece Crewneck
‘Carignan, Full of Grace’

Some of the oldest vines in Europe, but the EU would rather subsidize uprooting than listen to what they have to say. Carignan is a variety that holds on to acidity and retains freshness even in hot climates –and more and more climates in the world of wine are hot, these days.

Whether in Calce or Montsant, Mendocino or Maule, a grape reviled for being tough and astringent is actually capable of something very different: grace.

Underdog Grapes Jersey T
‘Aligoté Has Terroir’

Ripped out from the grand cru slopes and planted where only asparagus and potatoes used to grow, “that,” Laurent Ponsot said, “was the story of ruined aligoté.” But even if the wines that some of the greatest growers in the region make can only ever say “Bourgogne” on the bottle, aligoté has terroir.
