WELCOME!
Hi there! Thank you for visiting wine-sense online. We hope to be as interactive, passionate, and knowledgeable on this website as we are in person.
Our approach is simple. We keep the seasons in mind and pair to the foods we’re cooking with at each time of year. OK, so we might be over-thinking a bit. But that’s why you love us!
If you’ve shopped in the store, you know our wines move fast and the selection changes often. So be sure to check back frequently for latest finds, our new obsessions, and recently allocated bottles. We’ll also share upcoming events and sales so, you can grab them while they’re in stock. – Samanta

Minerality, richness, elegance, and finesse
Ready for some mouthwatering reading?
Domaine Marc Morey is one of the most prestigious estates in the Cote de Beaune. The wines are sold today by 18 importers in 14 countries worldwide, with a small amount reserved for the finest local restaurants and clients particulieres from across Europe, who visit the domaine on a regular basis. Renowned for their finesse, freshness, minerality, and opulence, Morey wines truly reflect the best of Burgundy.
The vineyards and winemaking are overseen by Sabine Mollard, granddaughter of Marc Morey and great-granddaughter of Fernand Morey, who first brought vines to the village after returning from WWI. In the 1930s, the domaine was one of the first to bottle and sell its own wine, and today produces some 60,000 bottles annually from 9.5 hectares in Chassagne, Puligny, and St. Aubin. In the vineyards, respect for the environment is paramount. The domaine follows the rigors of lutte raisnonée, using only natural and organic treatments when absolutely necessary to combat rot, mildew, or oidium.
Sabine’s winemaking techniques are designed to preserve the freshness and liveliness of each vintage, as well as the distinctive character of each individual parcel’s terroir. Her goal is to make wines that are expressive and open when young but also possess the structure and balance necessary for aging and complex development. The result is a unique combination of minerality, richness, elegance, and finesse that makes a distinctive impression.

Marangona Rosé | SIX PACK
It’s time for our annual Chiaretto offer. We get a limited amount each year and it never disappoints.
This Chiaretto is a delicate and elegant rosé from the Lombardia region of Italy, carefully crafted by Marangona’s fourth-generation winemaker, Alessandro Cutolo.
As per DOC law, this rosato wine must have a pale color, and Marangona’s Chiaretto precisely embodies this requirement, with its charming, light-pink hue. This gorgeous rosé is a blend of four red grape varieties: Groppello, Marzemino, grown on a limited 1-hectare plot of 30-year-old vines, giving it a unique character and personality. Sustainably farmed, hand-harvested, and aged in stainless steel. The color in the glass is light, pale-pink with aromas of delicate white flowers. On the mouth, it reminds me of the brightness of a citrus sorbet with a slight touch of salinity in perfect balance with chalky minerality. This vintage is screaming summer time!
The story behind the name Marangona adds a touch of nostalgia to this already charming wine. The name refers to a bell that was rung to signify the end of the workday, which is still present on the farm. This attention to detail is mirrored in Alessandro’s meticulous winemaking style, which emphasizes low-intervention viticulture and sustainable farming practices. Embrace the unique personality of Marangona’s Chiaretto and experience a taste of Lombardia’s exquisite wine culture.
