Taste three Austrian w**es this weekend and explore our summer refresh, featuring new arrivals from Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Virginia, Oregon, and more.

This Weekend at The W**e Attic

Join us this weekend as we pour three w**es from Austria, one of our favorite w**e-producing countries and one that’s perfect for summer drinking.

Steininger Grünschnabel Grüner Veltliner 2025
Fresh, crisp, and full of bright citrus flavors, this classic Austrian white is light, refreshing, and incredibly food friendly. It’s the kind of w**e that’s just as enjoyable on the patio as it is with lunch or a light dinner.

Hillinger Zweigelt 2024
Austria’s signature red grape offers juicy cherry fruit with a touch of chocolate and soft, smooth texture. Easy to enjoy, whether you’re already a red w**e fan or looking for something new.

Hillinger Blaufränkisch 2024
A more structured Austrian red with notes of blackberry, blueberry, baking spice, and pepper. Richer and more savory than the Zweigelt, with enough depth to pair beautifully with grilled meats and hearty dishes.

Stop by this weekend to taste all three w**es, learn a little about Austria’s w**e regions, and discover why these w**es continue to be some of our favorite finds.

We also just finished our summer refresh, and the shop is packed with new arrivals and returning favorites from all over the w**e world! We brought back plenty of Austrian favorites from Steininger, Paul D., and Hillinger, plus Rock Ferry Central Otago Pinot Noir, Zephaniah Virginia w**es, Eola Hills Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Vinho Verde, Chianti, Malbec, and a bunch of easy-drinking 1-liter bottles.

Come taste the Austrian lineup, poke around the shelves, and you might just rediscover an old favorite!

USA250 W**e Club is here 🇺🇸🍷

Four American stories:

Zephaniah Farm Vineyard
The Hatch family, continuing four generations of farming in Loudoun County while growing grapes, raising Angus, and making w**e together.

Galen Glen W**ery
W**emaker Sarah Troxell’s precision in the cellar and Erin Troxell’s leadership as the first woman to lead the family farm have earned national acclaim for a grape few believed belonged there.

Kings of Cali & Straight Out of Paso
Edgar Torres’ story of passion and determination, from immigrating to California with his family as a young boy to building a w**ery that began with just four oak barrels.

City Limits
Morgan Lee’s vision of bringing rural land to urban people in a bottle of w**e, with label art inspired by a Seattle institution that serves its community and proceeds supporting NAMI

Gavi, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco today at The W**e Attic of Clifton!

Father's Day W**e Tasting with Juan
Sunday 12-6 @ The W**e Attic of Clifton

Happy Father’s Day!

I’ll be at The W**e Attic of Clifton today from 12–6 PM, and we’re featuring a special w**e tasting for the day: Nebbiolo & Friends.

Today’s tasting lineup:

🇮🇹 Vite Colte Gavi di Gavi
🇮🇹 Pico Maccario Langhe Nebbiolo
🇮🇹 Broccardo Barolo I Tre Pais
🇮🇹 Vite Colte Barbaresco Riserva Spezie

We’ll start with Gavi, then work our way through Nebbiolo from Langhe to Barolo and Barbaresco while talking about one of Italy’s great w**e regions: Piemonte.

From one dad to another, I don’t think Father’s Day needs to be a big production. Maybe you’re grilling, maybe you’re enjoying the weather, maybe your kids are working today and you’re quietly proud of that (like both of mine are).

If your day brings you through Clifton — maybe before or after visiting one of our great local restaurants — I’ll be upstairs and happy to show you a great time.

🍷🍷

Owner, The W**e Attic

Allow me to show off my beautiful children on this fine Father's Day...
