Our first live chat: How Navinnus 42 Started, How It's Going

On April 18th, we went live, and it was a good time.

Over 20 minutes, we talked through how Navinnus Forty Two Cellars got started (including where the name comes from), what the 2025 harvest looked like, and where our two wines are right now in fermentation—with a few unexpected twists along the way.

We also opened bottles of each of our fermenting wines, a Dry Riesling and a Cabernet Franc Rosé, and tasted them on camera, which is honestly the best part.

If you missed it, the recording is above. Grab a glass and join us!
