Say bonjour to the French 77!

This is our first collaborative cocktail with legendary Willamette Valley winery, and fellow B-Corporation, Sokol Blosser and we could not be more thrilled with the result. This endlessly sippable sparkling wine cocktail features fresh lemon juice and aromatic notes of Juniper speaks to the essence of a French 75 while blazing a trail all its own. 

The backbone of this cocktail is Evolution by Sokol Blosser's Lucky No. 9 Aromatic wine with heaps of citrus notes like lychee and lime zest, hints of tropical fruit and just a touch melon. Bright acidity lingers on the finish to balance with residual sugar. We chose #9 because it had its own opinion. The Sauvignon Blanc in the blend really give the drink a non-traditional funk.

We named this cocktail a French 77 as a tribute to the first vintage from Sokol Blosser that was bottled in 1977 as well as Oregon craftsmanship.

(For now) You can find the French 77 in our two tasting rooms, as well as the super adorbs Sokol Blosser mobile wine bar and their tasting room, and in retailers in Oregon coming soon!

Happy summer sipping everyone!
