Please join us in welcoming Raquel Village as the new bartender at The Fearrington Bar! Raquel has been a valued part of the Fearrington team since 2021, most recently as a server in the restaurant, where she developed a deep understanding of our guests and our signature service style.
She’s no stranger to the bar either—having moonlighted behind it many times over the years, Raquel brings a sharp palate, a creative spirit, and an infectious enthusiasm to her new role. She’s currently crafting a brand-new cocktail list, and we can’t wait for you to try what she’s mixing up. Stop by, say hello, and let Raquel pour you something special.
GALLOWAY’S WINE SHOP
LIOCO ‘Sativa’ Carignan 2021 – $35
From Mendocino’s historic McCutchen Ranch, this limited-production wine comes from 70-year-old, dry-farmed Carignan vines. Expect aromas of dried fig, violet, and black cherry, with flavors of Italian plum, blackberry, and hints of smoked meat and cola. Medium-bodied and layered, it balances dark fruit with savory complexity. With just 240 cases produced, it’s a rare and distinctive find.
Troy Revell, Wine Director, says:
“The Sativa Carignan is one of those wines that stops you in your tracks—it’s soulful, rustic, and deeply expressive of Mendocino’s old vines. I love how it balances dark fruit with earth and spice, making it a perfect red for cooler nights or alongside hearty dishes. It’s California Carignan at its finest.”
