Wonderwerk Marinara! California Red Table Wine

Wonderwerk’s Marinara! California Red Table Wine refuses to take itself too seriously while delivering seriously delicious results. Made by Los Angeles-based duo Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy, this lively red blend is crafted with an eye toward approachability and food-friendliness, especially with anything covered in red sauce. Naturally made and sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards across California, the blend typically includes Italian and California stalwarts like Montepulciano, Barbera, Zinfandel, Aglianico, Grenache, and Teroldego, resulting in a punchy, medium-bodied wine with vibrant acidity, soft tannins, and an explosion of juicy red and black fruits alongside earthy dried herbs and a touch of spice. Fermented with native yeasts, unfined and unfiltered, and bottled with minimal sulfur, Marinara! is a true natural wine that maintains freshness and purity without sacrificing flavor or fun. Its label, designed with retro, pasta-night vibes, underscores its purpose: to be your go-to bottle for casual dinners, impromptu gatherings, and anything involving tomato sauce. It's both a crowd-pleaser and a conversation starter (and pizza’s best friend).
