Before we started Kally, we were simply on a mission to drink less and enjoy more. Our curiosity for wine alternatives took flight after a conversation with a friend tending bar who introduced us to the magic of verjus. It was love at first sip.

Every Kally recipe features a unique combination of surprising and familiar flavors. We only use the purest ingredients and meticulously focus on the quality of every element. Each bottle is crafted with care and meant to be shared.

Ultimately, this is our love letter to California and a celebration of togetherness. It’s our way of connecting people, one glass at a time. It’s how we celebrate the big and small moments in life. 

We hope you love drinking Kally as much as we love making it.

Cheers,

CEO & Co-Founder

"Served at more than 15 other Michelin-starred restaurants, Kally's bottles include Early Chardonay, which is crisp, bright and changes flavor and aroma as it moves across the palate, similar to a fine wine." — Christine Chitnis

“The cool kid at the party…bringing the glitz to your party sans alcohol.” — Annie Lin

“Golden Sparkler is what happens when crisp, bright Chardonnay verjus meets floral, earthy flowers.“ — Oset Babür-Winter

“...a spectacular addition to this [n/a red wine] category is Kally, whose organic verjus-based Early Cabernet is rich, tart and earthy, with dark cherry flavors and a hint of vanilla.” — Maria Yagoda

“For pet-nat or lambrusco lovers, there’s a strawberry-hued rosé - fizzy and floral, with notes of ripe strawberry and hibiscus…offering bright, bold bubbles.” — Kate Dingwall

"Kally's Rosé Sparkler resembles an alcoholic sparking rosé. It's dry...it's also cheerfully fizzy with hints of strawberry, and of course, Kally's signature verjus base." — Andrew Watman

"It's a real party when this lively sparkling champagne alternative shows up, made with California chardonnay verjus from 2023 harvest...it's crisp, mild, sparkly, and what more could a toastable bottle need?" — Pat Saperstein

"If you're looking for a zero-booze alternative to your favorite playful pét-nat, this is it."

Verjus Magic

Verjus is a simple ingredient with endless creative potential. Pressed from young, tart California grapes, this versatile golden liquid gives structure to Kally thanks to its perfect balance of acid and sugar.

Clean Ingredients

Kally is full of flavor from real food ingredients—verjus, fruit, teas, and botanicals—and nothing else. (The first Kally was created using ingredients from our home garden after all.) You won’t find artificial flavors, additives, or funky stuff here. 

Flavor & Complexity

Each Kally is made with unique ingredients that create layers of flavor, tannin, acidity, and sweetness. A great drink changes flavor and aroma as it moves across the palate or is paired with different foods—and Kally is no exception.

It all starts with a grape.

Verjus is the essence of Kally. We make our own verjus every season from hand-picked California chardonnay grapes. Why? Because we’re obsessed by the details. Everything from grape quality and varietal to terroir and pressing techniques impact the verjus quality.
