Wine Feature - Populis
“Why Populis? Because it's all about you, our friends and allies, our brothers and sisters who want to drink delicious, honest wine. There is not enough wine with soul that we can afford to drink... and we like to drink!” Populis wines are produced primarily in Mendocino and on the Sonoma Coast in California. They focus on making natural wines with organic grapes and sustainable farming.-
Populis Sauvignon Blanc | Mendocino, California
A beautiful take on a traditional California Sauvignon Blanc. Incredibly light, driving acidity, and super dry, this is a perfect food wine and patio sipper! Like a traditional Sauvignon Blanc from California, this wine is full of aromas of citrus and tropical fruit. This wine is rounded out with notes of green bell pepper and earthy, grassy notes. An amazing pizza wine, and great with poultry and fish as well!

Populis Reverseé | Mendocino, California
A bar staff favorite! The Reversée is made with a technique we call the 'reverse saignée.' 1/2 of the grapes in this wine are pressed to rosé juice and added back to a tank of destemmed fruit. This results in a red wine that is so light that it’s basically a rosé. This wine is JUICY and fruity, with a rich acid and very light tannin. Perfect with a pizza, pasta, lighter meat option, or seafood.
