aughing Gems is an authoritative, boundary-pushing natural wine label founded by the Asian and Blasian winemaking duo Tiffani Patton and Jonathan Yang. Operating out of the Richmond Wine Collective incubator in the East Bay, the duo crafts highly intentional, low-intervention wines explicitly engineered to pair seamlessly with the diverse, complex flavors of global cuisines. Sourcing exclusively from top-tier California vineyards that practice strict organic, biodynamic, or regenerative farming, Laughing Gems infuses their production with immense mindfulness and cosmic energy. In the cellar, their non-interventionist methodology embraces spontaneous native yeast fermentations, neutral vessels, and zero mechanical filtration, delivering raw, deeply authentic small-batch wines packed with vibrant regional personality.
The 2024 "Super Fresh" is a brilliantly creative, highly scannable sparkler designed to capture the pure, joyous aromatics of Orange Muscat through a lively ancestral method frame. Sourced from Paicines Ranch—a legendary, regeneratively managed vineyard in San Benito County—the fruit benefits from warm days and cool, high-toned nights that lock in crisp acidity. The wine is produced as a pétillant naturel, meaning the juice is bottled during its original spontaneous native yeast fermentation to trap the natural, fine carbon dioxide bubbles. Bottled completely unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfur, this high-vibe bottle erupts with citrus rind and floral perfumes, carrying a thirst-quenching, bubbly energy that lives up to its name.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
