Title on all wine passes to the buyer at the time of purchase in the state of California. If you require that your wine be shipped, you authorize Bay Grape LLC to engage a common carrier to deliver the wine on your behalf. IF YOU CHOOSE TO SHIP YOUR WINE TO A NON-RECIPROCAL STATE, YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLYING WITH YOUR STATE'S LAWS REGARDING ALCOHOL SHIPMENTS.
You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages from Bay Grape LLC. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an "Adult Signature Required" sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that you will have to be present at the time of delivery.
Because we have no control over the temperature conditions at any 3rd party carriers' warehouses, we always attempt to deliver wines to our 3rd party carrier at the beginning of each week so that you can receive your wine before the weekend. As a result, your wine may not be delivered to our 3rd party carrier the day that you place your order. Please understand that during business hours, your orders are immediately packaged and scheduled for delivery, but may be delayed until ideal conditions for shipment arise. You are reminded that various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages which may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction without requiring the purchaser, the seller or the shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Bay Grape LLC does NOT, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying for or obtaining any such permits or licenses. Therefore, you are strongly advised to investigate such limitations and to determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages may lawfully be brought into states other than California. You are responsible for all applicable excise, use and sales taxes due to your state related to the purchase of any taxable goods.
Bay Grape LLC makes no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import wines into any state outside of California. The Buyer is solely responsible for the shipment of wines and is responsible for any loss or damage to goods once they have left our premises. By placing an order, you authorize Bay Grape LLC to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you.
Veso Tomato Vermouth NV
Batch 002: 2500 bottles produced. 18% ABV
LIMITED RELEASE - once this sells out, it won't be back until Summer 2026
For batch 002, we brought in two types of tomatoes in 2024 - Purple Cherokee Heirlooms for their decadent, savory meatiness, and Early Girl Tomatoes for their concentrated flavor and perfectly balanced acidity. These were infused in grape spirits for seven months before pressing and mixing with our 2023 Paso Robles Chardonnay. In May of 2025, we picked young tomato leaves (from our friends at Sunray Farm in Sonoma) to infuse, which lend an herbal, vegetal, and almost minty character. That was rounded off with Kombu (a type of seaweed) to give it a touch of brininess and amp up the umami, and a quick infusion of red beets, which impart a deep earthiness and a tinge of color to the vermouth.
The result is rich, umami, and bright. On the nose, you get the savory note of the aromatic tomato leaves. On the palate, you’ll notice the flavor of the young tomato leaves and an umami richness, followed by a distinctly tomato finish that lingers.
Perfect in tomato martinis, but can also be used in place of any dry vermouth for a super savory tomato kick. Use it in savory cocktails to amplify umami, or mix it with citrus or fruit flavors to build depth and complexity.
