🍷 Psssst… Wine Walk may be over, but the party isn't. 😏

We've got a TON of bottles open from Sunday's sellout event and we want YOU to come try them. Stop by our Sample Bar and sip your way around the world — oh, and while you're here, grab something special for Dad. 🎁👨‍👧‍👦 It's Father's Day weekend and we've got the perfect bottle waiting.

🇲🇽 Casa Magoni Manaz Vino Blanco (Mexico) A showstopper from Baja California's Valle de Guadalupe. Aromatic and fresh with white flowers, lime, grapefruit, and tropical hints of pineapple and apricot — sunshine in a glass.

🇺🇾 Folklore Blanco (Uruguay) An under-the-radar gem. Lovely tropical aromas with peach and floral characters, seamless integration, a mineral edge, lively acidity, and a grapefruit finish. Totally unique and delicious.

🇳🇿 Massey Dacta Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand) Named after a beloved family farm tractor — yes, really. 🚜 Classic Marlborough Sauv Blanc with lemon and lime, tropical rock melon and passionfruit, lemongrass, and a generous, weighty mouthfeel.

🇺🇸 Bistue Cabernet (USA — Napa Valley, California) From winemaker Carolina Bistué, a passionate believer in minimal-intervention winemaking who trained with Paul Hobbs in Mendoza before bringing her talents to Napa. Bold, polished, and built for a Dad who means business. 💪

🇩🇪 Roterfaden & Rosswag Terraces Red (Germany) This one will surprise you. A unique blend of Lemberger, Trollinger, Regent, and Schwarzriesling from 1,000-year-old limestone terraces, with fresh ruby red color, red fruits, vanilla, and a super smooth mouthfeel with light tannin. Biodynamic, beautiful, and unlike anything else on your shelf.

🇦🇺 Mitolo Angela Shiraz (Australia — McLaren Vale) The crowd-pleasing closer. Perfumed and elegant with blue fruits, blackberry, aniseed, deli meat, and pink peppercorn — plush, powerful. Dad is going to love this one.

☀️ This weekend we're pouring two stunners — and the weather couldn't be more perfect for taking a bottle home!

🍷 Alexander Valley Vineyards Sin Zin Tasting Note: A California classic — bold aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and black pepper, with rich layers of cocoa, plum, and a hint of vanilla. Smooth tannins and a luscious finish that begs for a backyard grill.

Fun Fact: Sin Zin has been made since 1978, and its iconic label was inspired by a German etching from 1843 titled "The Boy's Magic Horn" — stumbled upon in an old art history book by the winemaker's daughter. Over 40 vintages later, it's still one of California's most beloved Zinfandels. 🖼️

🌸 Saint-Lannes Les Coquelicots Rosé Tasting Note: A gorgeous Côtes de Gascogne rosé — fresh strawberry, cherry, and candied red fruits on the nose, with a lively, crisp palate and a round, lingering finish. Pure summer in a glass.

Fun Fact: "Les Coquelicots" means poppies in French 🌺 — those cheerful wildflowers that bloom across the Gascon countryside. The wine is crafted by the Duffour family, who have farmed the same sun-soaked clay-limestone terroir in southwest France since 1955.

Come in, sip before you shop, and find your perfect weekend bottle — whether it's a backyard barbecue or a sunset watch party on the beach, we've got you covered. 🌅🔥

🕐 Today: 11AM – 6PM | Sunday: 12PM – 5PM

MAY WINE SOCIETY PICKS ARE HERE 🌍🍷

This month’s lineup travels from the sun-drenched heel of Italy to the rugged hills of Spain and the ancient vineyards of Lebanon. Three bottles. Three stories. No passport required.

HIDDEN GEMS�🇮🇹 Schola Sarmenti Vespre Fiano 2024 | Italy

Bright, zippy, and drinkable, this southern Italian white bursts with notes of citrus blossom, pear, white peach, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. Crisp acidity keeps everything refreshing, like a seaside breeze through an open window.

Fun fact: Fiano is one of Italy’s oldest native grape varieties, once so prized in Roman times that it was called “Vitis Apiana” because bees were irresistibly drawn to its sweet aromas. Bee-approved since antiquity. 🐝

🇪🇸PetitOna Red 2024 | Spain

Juicy red berries, crushed violets, soft spice, and enough earthiness to make you feel like you’re sipping wine in a tiny village in Catalonia. Fresh, lively, and dangerously easy to pour “just one more” glass of.

Fun fact: PetitOna is crafted with a focus on minimal intervention winemaking, letting the grapes speak for themselves instead of dressing them up in heavy oak or manipulation. Think flamenco guitar instead of stadium pyrotechnics. 💃

🇱🇧 CURIOSITY SEEKER SELECTION�Les Vignes du Marje Vin Rouge 2016 | Lebanon

This bottle is pure old-world intrigue. Deep notes of black cherry, dried fig, baking spice, to***co, and earthy herbs unfold slowly with each sip. Elegant, savory, and beautifully mature.

Fun fact: Lebanon is one of the oldest wine-producing regions on Earth, with winemaking traditions dating back over 5,000 years. The Phoenicians carried wine culture across the Mediterranean long before wine bars existed. Ancient grape energy in a glass.🏺

Want in on Wine Society? Spots are limited and filling quickly.

MEMBER BENEFITS INCLUDE:�🍷 10% off Wine Society wines�🛍️ 5% off storewide�🥂 Invitations to private tastings & special events�📦 Flexible membership options�🚫 No long-term commitments

Call 269-231-5092 for details and to sign up before this month’s selections disappear🍾

Sunshine’s stretching its legs, patio season is just around the corner, and we’re pouring two Italian crowd-pleasers today through Sunday:

🇮🇹 Riva de la Rosa Gavi 2023�Bright, crisp, and quietly elegant. Think lemon zest, green pear, white flowers, and that clean mineral snap that makes Gavi such a seafood superstar.

Fun fact: Gavi is made from the Cortese grape in Piedmont, and for decades it was one of the very few Italian white wines regularly poured at fine dining restaurants across the U.S. before Pinot Grigio took the country by storm.

🍝 Vigneti del Sole Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2024�Juicy black cherry, plum, soft spice, and just enough earthiness to keep things interesting. Smooth, easygoing, dangerously gulpable.

Fun fact: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo comes from Italy’s Adriatic coast, where mountain air from the Apennines meets sea breezes from the Adriatic. Basically: nature built the perfect grape air-conditioner.

Stop in, taste something new, and grab a few bottles for the weekend while the forecast is behaving itself.

🍷 Pouring today through Sunday�Thursday–Friday: 12–6
Saturday: 11-6�Sunday: 12–5

05/14/2026
