Happy Sunday, folks! We’re feeling lucky to be escaping this heat wave on our annual camping trip to Orcas Island, Washington — but one thing remains the same…our wine choices. Whether it’s 100 degrees or 80 degrees, summer calls for a juicy, chillable reds from Piedmont. 😎 ☀️

Cheers! Shoutout to .is.me for keeping the shop open during our adventures.

So please accept our sincerest apologies that this week did not work out as planned, but know that we are bringing you something EXTRA special on May 9th by showcasing some of our favorites from California based wine-makers Scar of the Sea and Lady of the Sunshine.

AND DON’T FORGET, we’re still open every day (thank’s to Alessandra!!!) so please stop by, say hi, and know you’re in great hands to pick out a bottle — or two — for whatever you need.

It’s Thursday and I suppose that the most important thing to know about tonight’s tasting is that Stevie has approved this message. 😉

Ok for real…it’s a gorgeous spring day, our tulips survived the snow, and we can’t WAIT to see all of our favorite people out.

Doing little happy dances over here because we’ve got THESE babies back in stock! 💃🏼 We pulled the ‘Fuschia’ Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera D’Alba from Gabriele Cordero in nearly a whole year ago when we first opened, and fell in love — and we also sold out, quick. With fewer than 100 cases of each produced annually, they are the ultimate representation of a beautifully executed wine that is only available on a small scale. And we are here for it.

Get in quick and grab a bottle while you can!
