Big Mood Natural Wines

Pielihueso. Spanish for “skin and bones”, this estate began in 2017 when father/daughter combo Celina and Alejandro Bartolome planted vines in Los Chacayes and Los Sauces (both subregions of the Uco Valley located within Tunuyan). The wines are all farmed organically and made with no corrections, fermented with native yeast and a low addition of sulfur is added just before bottling. Alejandro comes from a long background in organic farming and this is the family’s first foray into wine. The labels were created by the family too! Carmela, the other daughter designed the labels from their brother’s artwork. The wineries style is making light, bright, clean and vibrant wines!

Wow. Today we celebrate 2 years in business at Big Mood! Definitely seems like it has flown by, but believe me, I have felt every minute of this past year. Thank you all for your continued support of this tiny bottle shop and wine bar. Thank you also for trusting me enough to push boundaries and conventions for your palates! Small business ownership is rough at times, but you make it all worthwhile.

Now get down here and drink some delicious wines and eat some amazing street tacos from (who are celebrating their 1 year anniversary today)!

If you’re looking for a low abv beverage option to get you through the season of road construction, then drink these! Nicholas Gee, winemaker at Gabernik 23 in Štajerska, Slovenia is making an array of top notch ‘pikolas’ (or piquettes)- all of which are only 7% abv. Crispy, refreshing, delicious, and fully sparkling.

You deserve to drink dynamic and brilliant things.

Our glass list is always changing, which gives you more opportunities to try different grape varieties, wine regions, production methods, styles, producers, etc.. One of the best parts of the natural wine world is the amount of DIVERSITY you will find. Wine by the glass served 7 days a week, no reservations required.

Thirst Trap:

Today is Cinco de Mayo (please check out my stories for insight into what that means), and being Chicano, I come from a HUGE Mexican family, so why not take this opportunity to explore Mexican distillates!?! Stop by between 5 and 8 tonight to try 3 different spirits: mezcal, sotol, and raicilla brought to us by our friends at Fidencio Spirits] .

BTW, Fidencio Spirits] has graciously offered to match our donation to this month! Even more reason for you to familiarize yourselves with these delicious heritage spirits!
