Meza Wine Club: September 2025
Natural Red / White
Wine 1: Martha Stolpman Post Flirtation Red
A blend of 62% Zinfandel, 34% Carignan, 3% Pinot noir, 1% Petite Sirah from vines that were planted in 1948. This concentrated kitchen chameleon carries a banner for California crowd-pleasers. Year after year, excellent sourcing and careful blending yield a heart-warming wine that’s bursting with juicy red fruit. Bring this joyous bottle into any bustling hearth and share amongst friends old and new. This red heralds radiant aromas of yeasty chocolate and a hint of rose.
Wine 2: Stolpmans Uni Blanc
Stolpman’s Hedonistic ‘Wow’ Factor White
Roussanne might be the richest, most decadent white grape in the world of wine. Ripe fruit intensity, and a coating, thick mid-palate delivers a hedonistic “wow” factor not often found in white wines. Because Roussanne spends months ripening on the vine, slowly developing its signature flavor concentration, the tart acidity of the grape often dwindles by harvest time. At Stolpman, we decided zesty Chardonnay would be the perfect blending compliment. The Chardonnay lends a structured back-bone that refreshes the palate once the Roussanne’s up-front wave of flavor ebbs. Like Santa Barbara’s most famous delicacy, urchin harvested off our Channel Islands, the Uni white wine combines decadent richness with delicate precision. We originally created Uni in 2016 as an exclusive for the Uchi Sushi Group out of Austin, Texas. Word quickly got out about the wine, with the help of SommTV’s promotion of Uni alongside the release of the Delicacy film. Today, Uni can be enjoyed throughout the US, Japan, and Europe.
