TRY OUR WINES
Try our handcrafted dry wines and vermouth.
Casa Carmen has developed an exceptional collection of wines. Not only for our region, but when we compare them against our national and international selections. They are well balanced, flavorful, and easily enjoyed with and without food.
Brothers Enrique and Felipe Pallares are combining the competitive drive that led them to become professional polo players with the entrepreneurial spirit passed down by their pioneering predecessors in an effort to create world-class wine.
Was visiting Baltimore last weekend and had the pleasure of trying Tender is the Night vermouth at a local gin bar. Hands down the best vermouth I’ve ever had (did a tasting in Spain last summer, and this blew even those vermouths out of the water). When I got home to NYC I had to order 4 bottles of the Tender is the Night, and 1 bottle of The Sun Also Rises, as I’ve yet to try Sun but I anticipate I will be needing additional bottles lol!

Our golden-rayed sweet, white vermouth, The Sun Also Rises, is made with our wine, saffron of suntanned valleys, wild cardamom, wormwood, fresh Spanish oranges, and bitter Californian lemon. Our barrel-aged black vermouth, Tender is the Night, is made from the best local grapes and natural herbs and spices, black walnuts from our farm, and oranges of Seville.
