Flein Sauvignon Blanc [non-alcoholic]

It’s definitely not wine, but it is delicious. While alcohol-removed wines have gained popularity, we still feel like there’s something about them that just doesn’t showcase the grape or the place very well. This project by Slovenian and Austrian winemakers (started by the Gross sisters, who are both married to winemakers — very on brand) aims to find a new way to use their high-quality grapes to make genuinely delicious beverages instead. Think mint, wild thyme, lemon balm, and Granny Smith apples.

We love it with…
