Mother’s Day can be one of the loveliest holidays, a time to take a pause from the hustle and bustle of life to express appreciation and love for the person who raised you. But what if the woman you’re celebrating lives hundreds (or thousands) of miles away? When distance is involved, it’s more important than ever to find thoughtful ways to make the holiday feel special.

There was a time, not so long ago, when making quality wines without adding sulphur dioxide (SO2) was widely considered close to impossible, largely the preserve of mavericks. Inspired by the philosophies of natural wine guru Jules Chauvet, a small group of independent-minded producers such as Pierre Overnoy in Jura, Marcel Lapierre in Beaujolais, Gramenon in the Rhône and Frank Cornelissen in Sicily sought to relearn ways of making wine without the need to add SO2.
