Yellow + Blue great white!
Shout out to Yellow + Blue, the eco-friendly, very tasty, tetra-pak (AMAZING wine in a box!) purveyor and friend of Founding Farmers for their feature in Fast Company this week. Their interesting white Torrontes, Cafayate, Argentina 2008 and the 2005 Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina are two of our top sellers by the glass, and no surprise – they’re delicious, great pairings for many items on our menus, and from harvest to packaging to the glass, all certified organic wines that are stored in environmentally friendly packaging. Here’s to drinking green!
