They operate their business with a level of professionalism that is unsurpassed. They get it—and they get it done.
We’re incredibly lucky and grateful to have our wines in such trusted hands. ❤️

The best producers I`ve met all have one thing in common.
They care.
You can see how they farm. You can hear it in how they talk about their vineyards. You can feel it in the pride they take in every decision.
Long before you taste the wine, you can often tell how much someone cares.
That`s why, when we choose winery partners, we`re looking for more than great wine.
We`re looking for the people behind it.
Melissa explored this idea in more depth in her latest Substack, including why "Who cares?" has become one of the guiding questions behind every winery partnership we build at Communal.

We`re thrilled to see Schplink and Herisson White featured by Jancis Robinson, one of the wine world`s most respected critics.
Beyond the recognition itself, we especially appreciated the mention of the fill date—a small but important detail that reflects best practices for preserving freshness and quality in box wine.
Moments like this help move the conversation forward. Because great wine deserves to be judged by what`s in the glass, not the packaging it comes in.

The best winery partners aren`t just making great wine.
They genuinely care.
You can see it in the way they farm, the way they speak about their vineyards, and the pride they take in every decision along the way.
That level of care shapes everything, long before the first sip.
At Communal, we`re not only looking for exceptional wines. We`re looking for the people behind them and the values they bring to every bottle.
I share more about why "Who cares?" has become one of the questions that guides every winery partnership we build in my latest Substack.

We rarely judge bread by the paper bag it comes in.
So why do we judge wine by the package it`s sold in?
Maybe it`s time we asked a different question:
How good is the wine inside?

The best wine recommendation? When a producer makes you come back for another wine.
That`s why we`re so excited about Herisson Rosé. If you loved their red, this is proof that quality isn`t a one-off—it`s how they make wine.
Bright strawberry, juicy watermelon, a silky texture, and a crisp mineral finish—it`s everything you want in a rosé from a producer we`ve come to trust.
Because great wine isn`t defined by the package it`s in. It`s defined by the people making it.
And when the producer is this good, we`re happy to put our trust in the box. 🍷☀️
A big thank you to Empire Wine & Liquor @empirewine for recognizing what we`ve believed all along: exceptional wine can come in a box.

People often ask why I`m still advocating for premium box wine after more than a decade.
Because changing minds takes time.
For generations, we`ve been taught that quality comes in a heavy glass bottle with a cork. Those visual cues have shaped our perception—but they don`t determine what`s inside.
My work has never really been about the package. It`s about changing perceptions so we judge wine by its quality, not its packaging.
Ten years in, and I`ll keep having this conversation for as long as it takes.
