Priding itself on nontraditional winemaking practices, this winery is one to watch, producing limited-edition, unwooded wines that are fresh, upfront, juicy and enjoyable. The names of the wines come straight from the pig-pun: try the prosecco-style Prosciutto or, for those on a tight budget, the $10-a-bottle Swill.
