Capra Marco Doppiadi Barbera d'Asti is made from 100 percent Barbera.
Azienda Agricola Marco Capra was founded in 1945 by Tommaso Capra in the hills of Santo Stefano Belbo, in Piedmont, and today Marco Capra farms some eighteen hectares across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato. "Doppiadi" is the estate's Barbera d'Asti, grown on calcareous clay soils from vines of twenty to twenty-five years, trained in the traditional Guyot.
Barbera is the everyday red of the region, and this is a fine example: a deep, bright ruby with violet glints, a nose of ripe plum and black cherry, and a palate that is full and generous yet kept lively by Barbera's signature fresh acidity. A natural partner for the table.

Orin Swift Mannequin Chardonnay is made from Chardonnay.
Mannequin is Orin Swift’s California Chardonnay — barrel-fermented and aged in French oak for a rich, full-bodied white with layers of roasted cashew, grilled peach, tropical fruit, and vanilla. Bold and lush, it brings Dave Phinney’s signature intensity and unmistakable label art to a white wine.
Winery Info: Orin Swift Cellars was founded by Dave Phinney in St. Helena, Napa Valley, in 1998. Built on boldly sourced fruit from across California and instantly recognizable, provocative label art, Orin Swift has become one of the most talked-about names in modern American wine.
Review:
Even with an appreciable volume (11,300 cases), all of the 2021 Chardonnay Mannequin was barrel fermented and matured, spending eight months in 23% new French oak. Blended primarily from Santa Barbara and Sonoma sources (there is some Napa fruit, as well as 2.6% Viognier), it’s toasty on the nose, boasting notes of roasted cashew, grilled peaches and vanilla. It’s full-bodied, lush and easy to drink, with tropical fruit and pineapple on the finish. Enjoy it on the young side.
