Ever wondered what a business trip looks like for folks in the natural wine world - where eating and drinking is literally the job?
Come along for a quick peek at our recent Europe trip, where we hit up natural wine fairs and dropped in on some of our current (and hopefully future) winemakers.
First stop: #Paris. Naturally. We wanted to see firsthand why it’s hailed as the haven of natural wines.
We only had 36 hours in Paris, so the race mode was on. We kicked off our wine tour at @clavelinparis, a Jura-focused wine bar in Monmarte area. The next day we dedicated our morning to market research of French croissants and coffee. The best finds? Pastries and baguette from @boulangeriemamiche and coffee from @simple.coffeeparis.
For lunch we headed to Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges, where two heavy-hitters live: @lesenfantsdumarche and @thebutcherofparis. Only walk-ins, long lines, but we were determined to try both. Fresh local produce, amazing line-ups at both places. No winelist, instead you get offered based on your likes and preferences. Satisfied and happy, we rolled out of the market and found ourselves at our next checkpoint - a gelato-winebar @f.o.l.d.e.r.o.l. We were curious if wine and gelato could work together. Turns out, they’re not meant to be paired - it’s just two things done really, really well. Best bite? The olive oil gelato.
To close out our whirlwind Paris day, we went on a bottle shop crawl - a must. We never skip @septimeparis, @delicatessencave, and @chambrenoireparis when we’re in town. They always have some rare drops and hidden gems to offer.
That day we happily went to bed at 9PM (thanks to our lovely jetlag), getting ourselves ready for the next destination - Jura!

Grape Republic bridges the gap between Yamagata’s aging farming traditions and a fresh, modern take on natural winemaking. Their wines are bright, textured blends of green, pink, and blue grapes - often with some skin contact and aged in amphora for added depth.
Here’s why we’re obsessed with @graperepublicinc:
- Founded in 2017 out of deep love for Yamagata and its people, Grape Republic has revived and preserved several family-owned vineyards that were on the verge of disappearing.
- They embrace hybrids and non-European varieties - many of them table grapes like Delaware, Niagara, and Steuben. And the result? Pure flavor bombs, we would say!
- Every label tells a story. The Mandarin Duck is Yamagata Prefecture’s symbolic bird, while Cranes - seen on some labels - represent good fortune and reference a local Nanyo City folktale.
- Their wines are 100% natural (“zero-zero”), made without any additives. They even reject the common gibberellin treatment (common to Japanese table grapres) that removes grape seeds - keeping natural acidity intact for vibrant, food-friendly wines.
“𝙒𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚, 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 & 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖.”
So now, we’re bringing that Australian spirit to Vietnam - straight to your table!
We love 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗢 𝗭𝗘𝗟𝗢 wines for their vibrancy - both in look and in taste. In this release, you’ll find familiar labels that have already captured your heart, plus a few new obsessions to add to the mix!

𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗢 𝗭𝗘𝗟𝗢 is a lo-fi (low-intervention) winery led by the duo Brendan and Laura Carter. Back in 2012, they were making wine for Australian people - wine that suited the land, the climate, and the way Aussies actually eat and live. That belief sparked the name: a UNIQUE ZEAL to craft wines with purpose and lasting meaning. Today, they’re (happily) not the unique in this anymore - but the spirit remains the same: to be proudly & unashamedly Australian winemaker!
They work with alternative grape varieties that thrive in their regions - like 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝗼’ 𝗱’𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮, 𝗙𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼, 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮, 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗰𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼, 𝗡𝗲𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼, 𝗭𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗼 and 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼.
Their wines range from fresh, easygoing bottles to more structured, thoughtful expressions - perfect for wine lovers eager to dive deeper into the lo-fi world.

#UnfinedTravels Eurotrip Part 1: Chateau Milan Nestarec
—————
“𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.”
Milan Nestarec really meant it when he said that. First thing he did when we got to his Chauteau is to take us straight to his vineyards! So we hopped on his SUV and drove around the vineyards to the highest point Hradištěk for the bird view of Velke Belovice. All of @milannestarec’s vineyards are free from herbicides, pesticides, industrial fertilizers, and systemic treatments. They follow some biodynamic practices too - not for the hype, but because they care about what really matters. They just listen to the vineyard & respond to what’s happening right there, right then.
A lil more about Milan, ‘the rising star’ of European wine scene (according to many wine experts including other winemakers themselves). Milan was born into wine. He grew up in a winemaking family in the winemaking village, so winemaking runs in his blood & flows through the vein of his everyday life. Milan made his first batch of wine when he was 16 years old, and it was not a cute 30-liter demijohn, but whole 40,000 liters. His village Velke Belovice has around 4,000 residents and about 700 wine cellars. (so one per family we guess?)
For Milan everything is in the vineyard, but for us it’s his cellar that made us WOW. It’s more like a rebel lab than a winery. Think of it as a fully modded game setup, packed with all the cool add-ons so he can play it his own way. You’ll find 12 Stockinger barrels (yes, the Rolls Royce of barrels), a sleek stainless steel tank system, and a bunch of other curious tools and toys. Everything’s there to let him push buttons, break rules, and remix the classics. He still keeps the soul of tradition, but layers on his own experimental, ever-evolving twist. His style shifts year by year but always stays true to itself: never stuck in one box. Remember how mind-blowing the UMAMI 2019 was? Now taste the 2021. The colour, the aroma, the texture - everything’s shifted, but that UMAMI soul is still there, just stronger than ever. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this!

Vietnam ơi, the next batch of @milannestarec’s “𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗟” wines has arrived! (Milan prefers to call his wines “𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗟” rather than “𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟,” because his natural winemaking is simply the way it should be.)

So... one random pickleball day turned into an idea for a little weekend hang 😛. If you’ve been busy being a grown-up lately, drop your brain at home and join us! (just a super chill gathering)
@2cms___ is jumping in to help pick some natty bottles from our @unfined.wines stash. We made sure we had practiced on ourselves to come up with the wine line up that fit every level of drinker and player 😂
And what’s wine without food? We asked Kevin @bachchoyboy (a.k.a. pickleball addict):
“Hey Kevin, what food goes with wine & pickleball?”
“Freeflow BBQ!”
“You cooking?”
“Say less.”
So yeah, freeflow BBQ is on, chef’d up by @bachchoyboy himself 🔥
As for the spot - shoutout to Annie @uuuyeenhh for introducing us to @pickoland.vn. One of the chillest court hubs we have played at! It also has a cozy courtyard where you will be chilling with good wine and good people. Come check it out yourself!
👉If you’re down, early birds help us prep better. Here’s the breakdown:
▪️ 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱: 695k (till 11AM 23/4)
▪️ 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝟰: 2680k (till 11AM 23/4)
▪️ 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿: 760k
▪️ 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗲𝗮𝘁-&-𝘀𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁: 580k (no pickleball)
