Today’s #CanadaLove shout-out goes out to City Cellars in Edmonton, Alberta.

Not only do they keep the good wine flowing. But they also advocate for great causes.

Today, they are offering a discount on “pink drinks” to raise awareness of Pink Shirt Day, an anti-bullying campaign.

Here at Lini 910, we love pink wine. And we can’t think of a better way to put wine to work for a worthy cause.

Thank you City Cellars for your support of our wines. And thank you for what you do for our community.

When Alicia heard that fashion designer and influencer Giovanni Contrada (above, left), aka Imp of the Perverse, want to interview her for his TikTok, she was thrilled. After all, Giovanni has 1.5 million followers on the social media platform.

A few weeks later, during a trip to California to support her family’s wines in the Golden State, they met for coffee at one of Giovanni’s favorite breakfast places on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles, Ceci’s Gastronomia.

“If heaven was a flavor,” wrote Giovanni as the title of the post, “it would taste just like this 40+ year old balsamic vinegar.”

Thank you, Giovanni! That was an amazing experience. We love you!

We were thrilled to see that Houston Chronicle wine writer Emma Balter selected Lini 910 for her New Year’s Eve round-up.

Here’s what she had to say about her recommendation:

“Through her Lini 910 winery in northern Italy, Alicia Lini set out to prove that Lambrusco doesn’t have to be an overly sweet, frothy beverage. Lini’s wines are elegant yet easy-drinking. They also pair very well with food — especially this fruity, spicy red Lambrusco. Look out for the rest of Lini’s line-up, including her white and rosé Lambruscos.”

“Food-friendly Lambrusco wine is cool again,” writes wine critic Bill Ward for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, including wonderful tasting notes for Lini 910 Lambrusco Labrusca: “It’s amazing (and wondrous) how many fruit, floral and herb/spice elements delight the nose and palate here.”

From the August 2021 issue of Wine & Spirits magazine:

Lini 910 2006 Lambrusco Metodo Classico
91 points

Lini’s Metodo Classico shows developed notes of brown spice, smoke and damp leaves that add complexity to the wine’s tangy cherry and plum flavors. It is a nuanced wine, more delicate and earthy than young Lambruscos made with the Charmat/Martinotti method, with considerable length to the flavors in a dry and layered finish.

Lini 910 NV Lambrusco Labrusca Rosso
BEST BUY
90 points

Tangy and mostly dry, with snappy plum-skin tannins that frame dense dark-berry flavors, Labrusca is a superb value built for barbecue.

Lini 910 NV Lambrusco In Correggio Scuro
90 points

Scuro means dark, and this wine delivers its darkness in violet scents and an inky purple hue, a prelude to deeply concentrated purple fruit flavors. Its tart plum and juicy black-cherry tones are infused with lively acidity and accented by hints of dark chocolate and orange zest. Deep and rich, with barely perceptible sweetness (10 grams per liter of residual sugar, within Brut parameters), this is a wine meant to complement spicy salumi and salty cheese.

“Lini makes top-notch, ambitious Lambrusco in Metodo Classico. This is an entry into their range and made in Charmat, but why not go with the best? Bonus: They also make it in Rosato (and Bianco!).” — Josh Nadel, Master Sommelier and Beverage Director, NoHo Hospitality Group, New York City

Wow, it doesn’t get much better than that, does it?

That’s top sommelier Josh Nadel as quoted in Town & Country magazine for its round-up of their picks for best Lambrusco by Sam Dangremond. Lini 910 Lambrusco Labrusca was their number one pick!

Thank you, Sam! And thank you, Josh! We can’t wait to come see you in the U.S. when it’s okay for us to travel again! Thank you! You rock!
