The Releone table tells a Mediterranean story across food, fabric, and spirits — a glass of wine on it should not be an afterthought. We are exploring a fifth pillar, opening 2031 onward, focused on a tight set of single-vineyard producers across two corridors that we already understand from the food work: the Mediterranean coastal arc (Cinque Terre, Costa Brava, Côtes-de-Provence, Costiera Amalfitana, Salento) and the Israeli highlands (Galilee, Judean Hills, Golan).
Every Releone wine is OU certification pursued — non-negotiable, given the seafood standard already set. Every wine is single-vineyard, low-intervention, native-yeast where possible. No négoce. No supermarket distribution. No wine club. The line opens with three white whites, three reds, one rosé, one orange — eight bottles total, released in micro-vintages, sold by allocation.
Phase V is honestly described as under exploration, not committed. A wine pillar makes sense if and only if (a) the food and tequila pillars produce the cash flow to do it without diluting equity, (b) the kosher single-vineyard standard can be met at scale, and (c) we find the right two or three estate partners. The scouting is happening in parallel with the seafood launch — Cinque Terre and Galilee visits scheduled for autumn 2027.
