Ordering Food at Sauer Grapes

Sauer Grapes is first and foremost a wine shop. I do offer a simple menu of breads, spreads, nuts and unique cheeses but I ask that if you would like your food served in a timely manner, please order ahead of time. This is especially true when there are events taking place at nearby venues. I do my best, but for the most part, I’m a one person operation and it can take me a while to prepare even simple menu items when the shop is busy. So please, help me serve you in a timely manner and email ahead at mariedsauer@gmail.com, let me know how many are in your party and what you would like to order. I hate disappointing my customers and this is the easiest way to make sure everyone is happy with their service! — Marie

HOURS
Monday 3 to 7 pm • Tuesday thru Saturday 3 to 8 pm

Celestino Gaspari

Celestino Gaspari

Stubbornness. Resilience. Curiosity. Like every good story, Celestino Gaspari’s has all these elements. Plus, a lot of determination to dare, to grow, and to experiment.

This fire has been burning inside him since his childhood spent in his family’s vineyards. Over the years, it’s been fuelled by a series of fortunate encounters with people who recognised and encouraged the ferment of the soul that still distinguishes him today.  Because Celestino is a seeker. An explained. A thinker. But above all, a doer.

Many of the great Valpolicella wines are his work. His professional skills were honed by twenty years working as winemaker for some of the most renowned wineries in Valpolicella. In addition, Celestino studied under Giuseppe Quintarelli, who is considered to be the Master of the Valpolicella Region. Quintarelli developed a signature Amarone style that established itself as the reference point for many Italian winemakers.

As his experience grew, so did the desire to create something unique, to give voice and substance to a wine that would bear testimony to the fertility and the heritage of this valley, constituted by numerous native grape varieties, the most authentic grape-drying methods and human skill in using intuition to select the best grapes and noticing every little detail about them.

And so it was that, in 1999, the wine Harlequin was born – and with it, the Zýmē adventure.
