January doesn't need another "new year, new you" moment

Instead, we're kicking off 2025 with wines that say "new year, do whatever the hell you want." This month's lineup is Fresh enough to wake up your tastebuds, No Plans flexible for whatever 2025 throws at you, and IYKYK good (translation: wine nerds are freaking out).

Whether you're actually sticking to those resolutions or already planning their funeral, these wines are here for it. They're weird, they're wonderful, and they're exactly what you need to start the year on your own terms. Because who said January has to be boring?

Orange Contact

What happens when you let white grapes hang out with their skins and get a little wild? Pure magic. This orange wine breaks all the rules in the best way possible. Three grapes come together for an extended slumber party, creating layers of texture and flavor that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about wine. It's that friend who shows up with the best stories and changes your whole perspective.
