New to WSM: OISHII Strawberries

The Berry Best: OISHII Strawberries from Jersey City

Strawberry season is often as sweet as it is fleeting. But that’s not the case with Oishii berries, which deliver what most strawberries can’t: consistent quality and deliciousness every month of the year. Grown in New Jersey using innovative vertical farming techniques and precision robotic harvesting, every berry is fresh, fragrant, and perfectly ripe. Oishii’s Koyo strawberry variety is especially bright, refreshingly sweet, and subtly tart—perfect for simple garnishes, complex desserts, signature cocktails, or savory dishes.

All barrel fermented, with hand-stirred lees and full malolactic. Reasonable acidity and a super-relaxed texture. ”  91 pts., James Suckling

WOM: INVIVO X by SJP Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Wine of the Week

Invivo X (by SJP) Sauvignon Blanc

Marlborough, NZ, 2024

Aromas of lifted, ripe tropical fruit among a mingling of citrus peel, with some exotic guava in the background. The delicate oak influence underpins the fruit on the nose and in the palate gives an immediate softness and accessibility. This swiftly fills the mouth and the balanced acid structure emerges through the folds of supple savory and sweet fruit characters. The finish is long and delicious.
