Brooklyn, NY: Earth People Wine & Spirits is marking the fall harvest with a seasonal tasting series centered on the connection between good wine and good farming. The natural and biodynamic wine and spirits shop at 801 Halsey St #3 in Bed-Stuy is expanding its regular Friday tastings into a weekly fall series from 5 to 7 p.m., featuring small-production wines made from sustainably and biodynamically farmed grapes.
Fall is one of the most exciting times of year for natural wine because it brings the focus back to the vineyard. As growers finish harvest and new vintages begin to arrive, Earth People Wine & Spirits is using the season to introduce customers to producers who put farming first and take a light touch in the winery.
Each Friday tasting will give guests a chance to sample a changing selection of red and white wines while learning more about the bottles being poured. The sessions are designed to be informative without feeling formal, giving customers an easy way to discover new wines, ask questions, and learn what sets each selection apart. Staff will also share background information on the producers and vineyards, helping guests to understand the story behind what they are tasting.
That same attention to quality shapes the year-round selection at the natural wine and spirits shop in Brooklyn. Earth People Wine & Spirits works with independent growers and small producers who follow sustainable or biodynamic farming practices and take a low-intervention approach to winemaking. The shop focuses on carefully selected bottles from producers it knows and trusts, allowing staff to make recommendations based on genuine familiarity with the wines they carry.
"Fall is when natural wine tells its story best, because it all starts in the vineyard," said Nadeen Nakib, owner of Earth People Wine & Spirits. "Our Friday tastings are a low-key way for the neighborhood to meet the small growers we love and learn what low-intervention really means, no pretension required."
The series also gives people who are new to natural wine an easy way to explore it. Low-intervention winemaking relies heavily on the quality of the grapes from the start, as producers generally do less to change the wine later in the process. Through the tastings, customers can see how that attention in the vineyard carries through to the finished wine while discovering different styles and finding bottles that suit their tastes.
The tasting series is open to customers from Bed-Stuy and surrounding neighborhoods, including Bushwick, Clinton Hill, and Greenpoint, as well as Ridgewood, Queens. Earth People Wine & Spirits also provides delivery across Brooklyn, giving customers who cannot attend the Friday sessions another way to explore the shop's selection of natural and biodynamic wines.
Alongside the tastings, Earth People Wine & Spirits continues to carry a full range of spirits, including whiskey, gin, tequila and mezcal, rum, vodka, and brandy. Customers interested in the fall series or the shop's wider selection can visit 801 Halsey St #3, Brooklyn, NY 11233, call (718) 350-8781, or shop online at earthpeoplewine.com.
