{"title":"Monte Rio Cellars","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing a successful career as a sommelier and restaurant owner in New York City, Patrick Cappiello set his sights on the West Coast, launching Monte Rio Cellars and Skull Wine Co. The pull towards winemaking happened organically, having spent years learning from various winemakers, among them his close friend, Pax Mahle. As a restaurant buyer and young consumer, Patrick felt there was a lack of affordable, honest wines from California. Monte Rio Cellars is his answer to that, producing a wide range of balanced, and food-friendly wines for people to enjoy. Working with family owned, organically farmed vineyards and simple winemaking, Patrick is achieving his goal of making delicious, hand-crafted wines in the spirit of old California.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jessies-grove-lodi-carignane-2022","title":"'Jessie's Grove' Lodi Carignane 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis plush, opulent red comes from former sommelier and restaurateur Patrick Cappiello. The fruit comes from own-rooted vines that Joseph Spenker planted in 1900, now owned and farmed by Jessie’s Grove Winery. The nose offers cassis, blackberry, maple, citrus cream and a hint of dried fennel. The palate brings dried cranberry, strawberry-pomegranate jam, bay laurel, grapefruit peel and warm spices before a supple, dry finish. Decant it and serve with roast duck or lamb, savory cheeses and charcuterie, or even penne alla vodka.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monte Rio Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50769787257072,"sku":"90617222","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7786\/1291\/files\/90617222.jpg?v=1794520231"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7786\/1291\/collections\/Monte_Rio_Cellars.jpg?v=1794520547","url":"https:\/\/greenegrapewine.com\/collections\/monte-rio-cellars.oembed","provider":"greenegrapewine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
