CORK DORK WINE NOTES
Near our home in Healdsburg, CA, the cool-climate pockets of Sonoma County offer an ideal setting for Riesling—particularly the dry style we love. Influenced by the fog-kissed mornings and ocean-cooled evenings, this region allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing layered aromatics while preserving natural acidity. While Riesling is often associated with sweetness, this is a dry expression, crafted in the spirit of Germany’s elegant trocken wines—where purity, structure, and minerality take center stage.
Our 2024 Orchestral Sonoma County Riesling is a revelation. Pale straw in the glass, it glows with quiet confidence. Aromas of green apple, lime zest, and white jasmine leap from the glass, joined by a hint of crushed slate. On the palate, it’s dry and precise, delivering notes of crisp pear, tangy citrus, and a whisper of salinity. Bright acidity frames the wine beautifully, leading to a clean, linear finish that echoes its refined Old World inspiration. This is a Riesling for those who think they know Riesling—and are ready to be surprised.

LABEL ARTWORK & DESIGN by Eric Guerra
This striking design was inspired by the rich interplay between orchestral music and fine Riesling—both layered, expressive, and timeless. Each bottle features a central classical instrument—such as a violin, french horn, or clarinet—elegantly framed by a gold foil baroque filigree motif, evoking the ornate detail of a concert hall fresco or a vintage music score. With rotating label imagery across the same wine, each bottle becomes part of a collectible series—an innovation rarely seen in the world of wine. It’s our tribute to musicality, individuality, and the beauty of variation in both art and winemaking.
MUSIC PAIRING & PLAYLIST by Mindi
Some wines sing in harmony with music—this one soars in melody. Our Orchestral Dry Riesling calls to mind the lighter, higher voices of the orchestra: flutes, violins, french horns… instruments that sparkle with clarity and lift. Just like this wine, they’re bright, expressive, and full of life. In my years as a touring musician and Berklee grad, I’ve always loved those moments in an arrangement when the top end lifts you up—like the sun breaking through the clouds. This Riesling has that same energy. So I’ve created a playlist of pieces that feature those high tones and light textures to pair with your glass. Play it loud, sip it slow.
