Mission Codename Mullaaaahhhhh
Welcome to the first ever Discovery Day! Your gateway to rare, unusual, and intriguing finds that aren’t Cabernet or Chardonnay. Trust your Agents of Wine! These are worth taking a flyer on - dry, fresh, and bursting with insane aromatics and flavors - it’ll be love at first sip.
WARNING: Nerds are gunna nerd!
According to Wikipedia “Amrum Frisian, also known as Öömrang, is the dialect of the North Frisian language spoken on the island of Amrum in the North Frisia region of Germany. Öömrang refers to the Öömrang Frisian name of Amrum, which is Oomram.”
Did you note that? There will be a quiz.
The first time we featured Öömrang, in all of its ümlaüts glory, we broke records. Every one of our Agents loaded up their own stash, and it became a unanimous favorite in the office
The Spies weren’t the only major fans of the last Öömrang we offered either. Check out these comments from the Facebook group (which you should totally be a part of if you aren’t already).
“Very easy to drink” “Ooomrang? More like OMG!” “Huge crowd pleasing potential”
Last time we featured the Siegerrebe and it hit hard so we went back to the winery and rounded up the whole posse! The last few vintages got great scores and most wines from this brand kill it with reviewers but we got to the 2022 vintages before much press had been released.
This is possibly the best $20 investment you could make for the happiness of Future YOU. At OVER 70% off the math is mathing so hard!
Müller-Thurgau, with its own sexy ümlaüt, is a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royal and rarely is seen outside of Germany. Created in 1882 by Dr. Herman Müller (of Thurgau, Switzerland), the highest end version of the grape are similar to a high end Riesling with so much personality.
Pear and white flower aromas lead into rose, apricot, citrus and minerality on the palate. A white wine for interesting white wine drinkers for sure. This is dry in style and offers layers upon layers of citrus, tropical fruit and flowers. A wow wine indeed!
Almost NO ONE has heard of Öömrang - yet. Even Google struggles. The only hits are some intel by local independent publications like Great Northwest Wine praising the last up 2021 vintages as “for the second straight year, and back-to-back vintages, Christine Stoecklein has proved to be one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier talents with the charming, food-friendly Siegerrebe” and Sip Magazine talking up “unique German grape varietals, including ones rare in the Pacific Northwest like Siegerrebe and Muller-Thurgau and the almost-unfindable Kerner and Sylvaner. If you are looking for a bottle to enjoy, currently Öömrang features a range of sunshine-y approachable whites.”
Approachable at $65 or how about $20?!!! Pile up before missing out on something different and fun. Each varietal is unique and well worth the crazy price we’ve got them for today.
