This June, we’re exploring the many ways diversity shapes the wine world — through grapes, regions, growing choices, and the producers willing to take a different path!

All month long, we’ll be featuring wines that challenge expectations and celebrate alternative perspectives. Think hybrid and native varieties, unconventional styles from well-known regions, and producers who aren’t afraid to experiment in pursuit of something uniquely their own.

Come with an open mind and leave with a new favorite!

🍇Tuesday, June 9th- JK CARRIERE, Willamette Valley
‘Not Playing it Safe since 1999’: Come meet winemaker Jim Prosser and taste through his playful takes on Pinot Noir. Not your average Willamette tasting... in the most delicious way.

🍇Tuesday, June 16th - J. BOUCHON, Chile
J. Bouchon’s work in Chile’s historic Maule Valley is a story of old vines, mutated clones, tree-climbing vineyards, and the preservation of heritage varieties often overshadowed by more international grapes.

✍️Monday, June 22 - Wine Class with Chris! -
A chance to step outside the familiar, this class highlights the diversity of grapes that quietly shape the wine world beyond the usual headliners — and why these lesser-known varieties are becoming increasingly important as regions evolve and new possibilities emerge. 🎟️ through the link in our bio!

🍇Tuesday, June 23rd - FRANZ WENINGER, Austria + Hungary: With one foot in Austria and one in Hungary, Franz’s wines are a reflection of shared history, shifting borders, and distinct terroirs. The perfect tasting to show that wine can truly transcend borders.

Tuesday Tastings are $15/tasting and take place from 5:00-7:00 PM! Drop in or make a reservation!

Love Pinot Noir but looking to branch out a little? 🍷

Here are 3 reds to try out next if Pinot is usually your go-to:

✨Blaufrankisch: crunchy black fruit, alpine herbs and black tea
✨Grenache: silky concentrated red fruit, red licorice, grenadine
✨Gamay: peonies, cherries, crushed wild strawberries

All three bring that lighter bodied, food-friendy energy Pinot lovers tend to crave - just with their own personality in the glass!

While the three featured are ones we absolutely love, we’ve got plenty to try in the shop! Come by today and let us broaden your horizons.

Which one are you trying first? 👀

This weeks chat is all about Oregon wine, fun grapes and baby goats. Yep, you read that correctly. 😎

In honor of Oregon Wine Month, we sat down with Kyle Hall, Sales Director at Johan Vineyards, to chat about what makes Oregon such a special place for wine—and how Johan’s commitment to biodynamic farming shapes every bottle they produce.

From thoughtful farming to expressive wines, this conversation is a deep dive into the philosophy behind one of Oregon’s most respected producers.
Watch the full interview and explore the world of Oregon wine with us. 🍷

May Wine Club is here and we’re continuing the celebration of Oregon Wine Month with this allocation!😎

This month’s theme all started because of the Analemma En Vaso, and then it just spiraled from there. The more we tasted, the more we loved... from Gamay vermouth to Sangiovese inspired by an Italian icon (the label is a riff — let us know if you recognize it!), complete with extended barrel and bottle aging, hand bottled and labeled and even brought up from the winery by the owner himself today. Even those in our Bubble Club are getting the Oregon treatment, with a local Blanc de Blancs taking the lead! But don’t worry... we didn’t forget some classic Champagne for you too.

Pick up available now through June 1st - after that we’ll keep it safe in offsite storage until you’re able to coordinate with our team to pick up!

🍷Walter’s Red & White Club (2 bottle club)
2024 Bow & Arrow | Willamette Valley | Melon B

2022 Analemma En Vaso | Mosier HIlls, Columbia Gorge | Grenache & Mencia

🍷Walter’s World Club (4 bottle club) along with the two bottles listed above you will also be taking home:

2021 Sacred Shore Classico | Treos Vineyard, Willamette Valley | Sangiovese

NV Color Collector Vermouth | Willamette Valley & Columbia Gorge | Gamay

🍾Bubble Club:
2021 Concinnitas Blanc de Blancs | Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Willamette Valley | Chardonnay, Aligoté

2019 Francis Boulard Les Murgiers Brut Nature | Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne | 100% Pinot Meunier

Come grab yours soon!

Who says Tuesday’s can’t be fun? 😎 Block your calendar for the next few weeks cause we’ve got some super fun tastings planned for you!

May 19th: When we met Anthony from Abundancia a little over a year ago, we were struck by their story. The family works altogether to run this little winery and farm their land. Focused on sustainability, great farming, and Spanish varieties in the Chehalem Mountains, their take on Oregon wine is unique! Come give these wines a taste and support a super small, self-distributed Oregon producer.

May 26th: Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs! Iconic. But you knew that. 😉 Come wrap up Oregon wine month with us as well celebrate some of our favorite Pinots!

June 2nd: We’re kicking of June with a tasting of wines that go beyond the usual... hybrid grapes, unconventional blends, and producers taking their regions in entirely new directions!

Tastings take place from 5:00-7:00 PM and are $15/tasting with a $5 credit towards a bottle purchase! Walk-ins welcome!

Happy May aka Oregon Wine Month! 😎

Sit down with Mandy as she chats with Master of Wine, Bree Stock! Winemaker for both Concinnitas Farm and Limited Addition wines out of Willamette Valley!
