Wilfrid Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 I have noticed that I am persistently ordering orange wines by the glass. Part of the reason is that they are now showing up on most wine lists. The rest of the reason is that I tend to like them — although a recent extensive tasting convened by the Orange Glou wine store showed just how varied a category it is. I am usually ordering blind because I have made no study of them. But I like the Rogue Vine Jamon Jamon I drank at Lola’s so much that I tracked it down at Vino on Lex and bought a couple of bottles. I am surely not alone in this interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 You are not. I always include at least one bottle in my wine orders, and I am very likely to choose an orange wine when I'm out. I like them a lot. Sel Rrose (might've been the first place I had orange wine) used to have a bunch, but I see they're down to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 Also, I had some dread about what this thread was about, before I clicked on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted November 26, 2024 Author Share Posted November 26, 2024 My first place to see a bunch of them was the Serbian joint on Avenue C, Kafana. I never got around to Sel Rrose and looks like the Manhattan location is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted November 26, 2024 Author Share Posted November 26, 2024 Azimut from Catalunya in real time (Motel Morris), which is why I was thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted November 27, 2024 Author Share Posted November 27, 2024 I am warming to Motel Morris, not a food destination but what I have eaten is okay, but really trying to do excellent service in a pleasant environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Fabulous Palava 2022 from Donatus (Czech), all peach and apricot but still dry, lurking here behind a huge Toulouse sausage from Foster Sundry. Wine from Orange Glou on Broome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I may be misremembering, but wasn't Ruffian one of the first "wine bars" to offer a selection of orange?

I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure that at the now closed Delancey/Bowery location, the same person who owns Orange Glou was curating the wine list.

Wilfrid Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 That might well be the first wine bar but Kafana has been around longer and I think they always had an orange selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orik Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'm pretty sure Ten Bells was serving some skin contact wines (Calek for sure) even before Vladimir opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
