Do you still remember those happy-looking Jauma bottles on the Saigon streets? Time to meet them again! After 2 years of getting local in Vietnam, Jauma bottles have slowly but confidently blended in with the local life: you can find them now at family meals or Vietnamese restaurants, at casual pop-ups or as pairings at fine dining places. These bottles are everywhere (in a good way of course)! And of course, still as lively, vibrant, and full of life as ever!
Did we mention Jauma was our first love in natural wine? It was also our big discovery about how beautifully natural wines pair with Asian - and especially Vietnamese - food. That brightness, that lift, that zing - it just works.
So hop on! Let us take you for that same unforgettable ride: the moment you take your first sip of Jauma, and thereโs no going back. โค๏ธ

If we had tried to set these words straight from day one, it probably wouldnโt have worked haha. But over time, with every bottle opened and every conversation shared, the message has naturally found its way. Not through force, but through experience - itโs something people can genuinely feel.
ย
The natural wine community in Vietnam has come a long way, from almost nothing to something real, something heartfelt. And weโre just getting started.

@podere_pradarolo might just be your stereotype-breaker when it comes to natural wine: these are serious bottles with structure, depth, and a pronounced character that can age beautifully year after year.
The first time we tried Vej - wow. Its deep amber color stood out instantly. Then came the aromas - aromatic Malvasia in its most intense, complex expression. And that long, skinsy mouthfeel!
If you havenโt explored Pradarolo yet, take a step toward these bold, not-so-easy bottles and discover an extraordinary side of the natural wine world - one thatโs as challenging as it is rewarding.

We fell in love with ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ข๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ in an extraordinary way. The first sip paired with Vietnamese-style fermented pork skin (trรฉ trแปn) - and boom! - we knew we had to bring their wines to Vietnam.

White - Chardonnay
Over the years, FAWN has become a quiet icon of finesse. Rich and flinty, with nutty complexity and a luscious texture - this is Chardonnay at its most elegant and precise.
๐ ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ก๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ
Technically a skin-contact white but spiritually a light red - Pinot Gris
Like watermelon juice merrily marries red apples and a faint vanilla bean, lightly wrapped in the softest tannins. Bright, juicy, and seriously satisfying.
๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ก ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ
Red - Shiraz
The juiciest Love Potion yet. Whole-bunch character brings brooding dark fruit, chocolate, cedar, and black pepper. A lil touch of Grenache that grows across the vineyard adds a playful lift of blue fruit, balancing richness with a burst of freshness.
๐จ๐ก๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Red - Shiraz
This bottle is purely magical! Blackberries and cinnamon. Plums and herbs. Precise & savoury. Lush and juicy. The kind of treatment youโd better not miss!

Rainy days call for steamy, spicy hot (or maybe umami?) hotpots โจ๏ธ! We have gathered the hotpot + wine pairings that we have had recently at the places that have no or almost no corkage fees. Enjoy the rainy season!
โช๏ธ1. Chaoshan hot pot (Lแบฉu bรฒ Triแปu Chรขu) + Forks & Knives Red by @milannestarec (the pairing is lit, trust us!). The Blaufrรคnkisch juiciness serves as a good refresher for the beef broth and can somehow smoothen out the mala spiciness.
โช๏ธ2. Vietnamese crab paste hot pot (Lแบฉu riรชu) + Hedonista by @milannestarec
โช๏ธ3. Clear broth Vietnamese chicken hot pot (Lแบฉu gร ) + WTB by @milannestarec (WTB is not available in Vietnam, but you can also try Lแบฉu gร with another White Label: Umami!)
โช๏ธ4. Haidilao hot pot + Primavera by @kindeliwines & Staring At The Sun @momentomoriwines
โช๏ธ5. Haidilao hot pot + Nero by @hither_yon
โช๏ธ6. Haidilao hot pot + Fistful Of Flowers @momentomoriwines + Casablanca by @kunohwines
โช๏ธ7. Haidilao hot pot + Bright Young Thing by @theotherright
โช๏ธ8. Haidilao hot pot + Riesling by @tomshobbrook
(Okay weโve been to Haidilao so many times we know it, theyโd better make us their official ambassadors or something haha)
How many bottles did we pour at our first UNFINED TAKE-OVER?
Hint 1: Watch till the end to count.
Hint 2: Thatโs not all! Some bottles are missing: some went home with other wine lovers, some too pretty they had already been sent to the decor shelf.
Big shoutout to the @vinhoi_hanoi_ team for letting us run your floor! Couldnโt have done it without you guys! Till next time! Bisou ๐
It was our first UNFINED WINE FEST in Hanoi, and honestly, as first-timers, we were super nervous wondering how the night would go. But turns outโฆ Hanoians really know how to play! Mother Nature gave us rain, and we gave her a fun-as-hell party in return!
Biggest thanks to @project.gyutan for hosting us again all the way from Saigon (& for grilling up the juiciest skewers that were perfectly paired with our natties!). And of course - shoutout to our DJs NAMC2C & MINHTVN for the late-night vibes - well cooked, guys!
Next time? We have no plans yet as right now weโre still vibing on the throwback. (But stay tuned, we are pretty random and spontaneous on this ๐)
@radikonwines has set the benchmark for what skin-contact wines can be, with their extraordinary intense depth and structured expression of Friuliโs native grapes (like Ribolla Gialla or Tocai Friulano) and other international varieties like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio.
Their wines are also known for their incredible aging potential. Recognizing this, Stankoโs looking for a bottle shape that could help the wine develop further. This led to the creation of their signature bottle design with slimmer necks and a form reminiscent of magnums, optimized for aging conditions. Some cuvรฉes spend up to four years in the barrel and several more years in the bottle before release. The result is a lineup of exceptional natural wines that evolve beautifully over the years while preserving the vibrant acidity and structure that define the Friulian terroir.
๐ขโฆโฆ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ข (๐ข๐ฆ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐) ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ต
Skin-contact white - Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
This 500ml bottle is made from the oldest vines in the vineyard, with 2-3 months on skins that draw out incredible complexity. Layer by layer, itโs a flavor bomb - citrus, tropical, toast, and dried herbs on the nose, with even more depth on the palate. O....... for โotherworldlyโ, you know why!
๐๐๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ต
Skin-contact white - Tocai Friulano
Tasting this extraordinary 1000ml bottle is like riding a rollercoaster of fruit, nuts, and florals. Vibrant and wild - yet it demands a thoughtful palate & a curious mind.
๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Skin-contact white - Pinot Grigio
A friendlier skin-contact style of Radikon. Bright acidity, grippy tannins, and an energy that keeps pulling you back for more.
๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Skin-contact white - Chardonnay, Tocai Friulano
This bottle hits hard with exotic aromatics. Sometimes, you want boldness and gentleness in one sip - SLATNIK got you!
๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Red - Merlot, Pignolo
Berries as expected - but then it surprises you: umami, balsamic notes, mint, tobacco leaf, and cedarwood all wrapped together. A red like this never lets us down!
