One bottle per Raisin team member!
To finish off 2024 we wanted to share a wine recommendation from each of the Raisin team members. How many have you tried?
Jean-Hugues Bretin - Jack of all trades
Wine recommendation : Le P’tit Blanc du Tue-Bœuf, Zoé et Thierry Puzelat, Loire Valley.
Why? My first natural wine turned into an emotion (now named Vin blanc).
Nathalie Alves - Partner
Wine recommendation : La Fraîcheur 2, Jan Tailler, Auxerrois, Pinot noir, Gamay, Pinot Gris, Alsace-Lorraine.
Why? The title says it all: super fresh, super good white wine from Jan Tailler, based in Lorraine. Low alcohol, lots of freshness. Perfect to start the aperitif.
Laura Doggen - Sr. Product Manager
Wine recommendation : Mu Ska-T, Anna, André & Yann Durrmann, Muscat, Alsace-Lorraine, 2024.
Why? Because it’s always time for a good Pet Nat from Durrmann; Family brunch, ápero, raclette, or even with a dessert! Mu Ska-T is the best!
Elena Amprimo - Head of Italy & Wine Team
Wine recommendation : Les P'tits Bouts, Mickaël Bourg, Syrah, Carnas 2021.
Why? “Les P’tits Bouts” 2021 combines juicy cherry, raspberry, black pepper, and a touch of chocolate. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, it’s ideal for holiday meals!
Enrico Pescatore - Customer Success & Sales
Wine recommendation : 2 Vite - Giancarlo Moschetti, Aglianico, Piedirosso, Campania.
Why? It’s a smooth and warm red wine, perfect pairing for festive meals, it brings joy and unforgettable emotions with every sip.
Adam Simmons - Marketing & Community Manager
Wine recommendation : Andi Weigand, MTH, Müller-Thurgovie, Franken, 2022.

Viktoriia Gauthier - QA engineer
Wine recommendation : T’ara rà, Cantina Giardino, Greco, Campania.

Wine recommendation : Le Grand Papa, Lavaux, Gamay, Fabien Vallelian, 2023.
Why? Old vines from 1957 that the grand father of Fabien planted it after the big frost. Just emotion.
