    What is Piquette?

    Piquette is a crisp, clean drink that straddles the line of many things (flavored fizzy water, beer, hard seltzer, wine), while being completely unique. Generally thought of as a low-brow product, it is seeing a resurgence thanks to the growing popularity in natural wine and this makes us so happy because it is the perfect summer daytime sipper!

    So we’ve removed the Cellar and replaced it with a space that we’re excited to talk about: Lola’s Little Shop.
