Please join us on Thursday, April 24th from 6:30-8 for an intimate evening with one of Oregon's most exciting artisans - Evan Martin. Evan is the owner/winemaker at MartinWoodswinery in the wooded McMinnville hills, and is one of the most passionate young Oregon winemakers we've ever met. Evan's ability to captivate while articulating his artistry so skillfully is why we've invited him to meet and taste with our customers for a special seated seminar tasting.We were going to host Evan last winter, but he needed to reschedule - he's finally coming back! His wines have received soaring accolades from multiple critics recently, and are wonderfully delicious, yet still reasonably priced. This will be an amazing evening, and space is limited, so reserve your spot today!

Kelley Fox is a producer we admire greatly, and after one sip of the devilishly delicious 2023 "Mirabai" Pinot Noir, and you'll know why. Seriously, the 2023 Mirabai is an instant classic you can't put down!

This wine is silky, complex, and packed with wonderful Oregon Pinot flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, purple flowers, baking spice, and a hint of red earth. We summed up our notes by calling it "plain delicious," and we can’t wait for you to taste it! Click here for more!

Menetou-Salon is the appellation immediately to the west of Sancerre. Like Sancerre, this lesser-known zone on the Loire River features a cool northern climate, chalky-clay soils, and beautifully mineral-driven white wines.

Today's 2023 Domaine La Clef du Récit Menetou-Salon, at $19.99, drinks like a $30 Sancerre. Driven by white rock minerality, ripe citrus and crunchy orchard fruits, this long and giving wine will have you asking the question: ”Why pay more when this Menetou-Salon is so good!” Click here for more!

One of our longtime favorite Napa Valley wineries has decided to go rogue! Rather than following the region's tradition of moving ever more upscale, Napa's Beau Vigne has added a Cabernet Sauvignon that goes for a fraction of the $100 to $200 of their flagship Napa Valley bottlings.

Made in a juicy, accessible style, this new bottling has earned a 93-Point rating from Decanter Magazine and today, thanks to our connections in California, we're able to bring it to you for the beats-all price of just $14.79. Click here for more!
