Oenoverse got invited to do something really special. Curating Virginia wines for the very first Charlottesville Filipino Spring Festival 🇵🇭🍷
Huge love to Melissa Williams for sharing her Filipino heritage in such a vibrant, thoughtful way, choosing wines from Lightwell Survey and Common Wealth Crush that absolutely showed up next to all that incredible food.
The music was on, the food was next level, Filipino beer was flowing, and IX Art Park felt like one big, joyful gathering with friends, family, new faces, and everyone in between.
Even Charlottesville’s mayor pulled up!

So proud of our friends, and fellow Two Up Wine Down curators➡️ Jen Anderson and Karl Kuhn of Novella for landing VinePair’s Winemakers to Watch in 2026 list 🥂
Born from years in the D.C. wine world and rooted right here in Virginia, Novella is a new venture built on curiosity, craft, and a deep love of place. After meeting at RdV (now Lost Mountain Vineyards) and jumping into harvest life, Jen and Karl launched their label through Common Wealth Crush with just 100 cases of a bright, mineral-driven Petit Manseng from the 2024 vintage, and they’re already expanding into Cabernet Franc rosé, with sparkling and red cuvées on the horizon.
This is exactly what Two Up Wine Down is about: bold new voices, thoughtful wines, and the future of Virginia wine unfolding in real time. Cheers to what’s next, Novella 🍇💫
