America’s only wine fair dedicated exclusively to orange wines, the Orange Glou Wine Fair will take place on Nov. 3 in NYC (two sessions: 11am-2:30pm and 3pm-6pm). Launched by orange wine expert Doreen Winkler, natural wine sommelier and founder of Orange Glou wine club and store in NYC, attendees will be able to taste over 100 orange wines from Austria, Italy and Slovenia, home to some of the best orange wines in the world. 

Soaring in popularity right now, orange (aka skin-contact) wines are made with white grapes but like reds with the grape skins left in contact with the juice for a period of time after pressing. The Orange Glou Fair will showcase a wide range of these wines, from fresh and light to textured and dark amber in color, including some exclusive bottlings available in the US for the first time. About 90% of wines this year are also ‘zero-zero’ – no added sulfites or yeasts (the rest may have minimal sulfites added). Attendees can meet natural wine producers and learn about maceration styles, plus take home an Orange Glou tasting glass. Participating wineries include Austria’s Gut Oggau, Franz Strohmeier, Christian Tschida, Georg Schmelzer, Weingut Maria & Sepp Muster; Italy’s Franco Terpin, Alessandro Viola, Frank Cornelissen, Podere Pradarolo, Cantina Giardino, La Stoppa, Cantina Indigeno, Foradori, Marco di Bartoli; Slovenia’s Božidar Zorjan, Blažič, Keltis, Guerila, Kabaj; plus from wines neighbors Croatia (Tomac) and Bosnia & Herzegovina (Skegro).
