One wine, five years in a row. Matassa Rouge is Tom Lubbe's old-vine Carignan from the schist above Calce, low alcohol, picked early, made with as little as possible. Last spring we ran [Cuvée Romanissa through the years](https://www.barberry.io/posts/2025-04-24-romanissa) and watched it change shape from 2006 to 2023. Now it is the turn of their other red. Five consecutive vintages of Rouge, 2019 to 2023, poured oldest to youngest, to see what five very different years did to the same vines. A couple of extra glasses will show up along the way. What they are is my business until they are in your glass. Light reds, low alcohol, high energy. Wednesday night, easy on the wallet.

Seven bottles, one vintage, one cause. Every hryvnia from every ticket goes to charity, the full amount, nothing skimmed off the top. All seven were born in 1996, and they turn thirty this year. I will not name them, but here is the shape of the night. It opens with bubbles from three growers and houses I have been hunting for years, one of them poured from a magnum. Then two reds from the same Tuscan coast, made a few kilometres apart, that have been compared to each other for decades and are finally sitting at the same table. And to close, something sweet and strange from a cellar in Avize that most people never get to try. Thirty years is a long time for a bottle. Some will be singing, some will be whispering. That is the point. Folks, trust me on this one. Even if the charity part is not what brings you here, this is a freaking amazing chance to taste wines you would not get to taste otherwise. Bottles like these do not show up at tastings, they sit in cellars and get opened quietly among friends. This time the door is open. Come.

The white-wine table reconvenes for a fourth volume. Amigos Blancos is just what it sounds like: good friends and a run of whites chosen to surprise, from taut and saline to rich and textured. Expect bottles that make the case white wine is anything but simple.

A charity evening with Ar.Pe.Pe., the great traditionalist of Italy's Valtellina. Nebbiolo grown on vertiginous alpine terraces and aged with monastic patience, poured across the estate's storied crus, Sassella, Grumello and Inferno, with library Riservas reaching back over a decade. Tense, high-altitude, ageless mountain reds, and every hryvnia of your ticket goes to charity.

Registration is closed.

The Canary Islands return for a third volume. Volcanic soil, ungrafted old vines and relentless Atlantic wind, bottled by some of the islands' most thrilling growers. Whites laced with ash and sea salt, reds that come wild and weightless off Tenerife's terraces. Few places on earth taste like this, and fewer still get poured side by side.

The bag comes out again, volume seven. A brown-bag night for grower Champagne: bottles poured from the bag so the wine speaks before the label does. Low dosage, high tension, small estates only, and a room that takes its bubbles seriously.

The first deep dive into Maison Glandien, a young natural-wine address whose bottles never linger on a shelf for long. One maker, one vintage, read across the full spectrum: a rose to open, bright whites, and supple low-intervention reds. A rare chance to learn a domaine's signature from every angle in a single sitting.

The Gatta night, finally. A single-grower journey through brut-nature metodo classico from the hills above Brescia - house cuvees and their disgorgements, blanc de blancs against blanc de noirs, the Campiani single crus (Est vs Ovest), and the Molener and Solera oddities to close. Low-dosage, high-energy, built for a warm evening.
