Featured Bitters
Junio
Junio is snow upon the palate, the chill taste of sleeping life. Within, etheric footsteps draw close: rose buds kissed with frost, saplings blushed and willowed. Her touch is the briefest crush of cast petals against an icy dawn, her words drawn like old memories from the barren well of spring.

A subsequent station as an AmeriCorps volunteer working in Native foodway preservation solidified her dedication to cultural and ecological sustainability. She fell in love with wine while working as a viticulture apprentice in Northern Virginia. Her heart has been in the grapes ever since.
