We have put together an extensive list of mostly small producers who put the same love into their craft as we have put into ours. We are almost always here to chat and answer any questions you might have. So have some fun and explore!!!

Sparkling Wine

  • Cima de Conegliano, Prosecco Extra Dry | NV {Why Drink Bad Prosecco?}

    Cima di Conegliano is located in the province of Treviso, the heart of the Veneto region. The name derives from the beautiful hills of Conegliano, famed for the production of Prosecco. This family-owned property, now run by the second generation, is known for exceptional attention to quality production resulting in distinctive offerings

    $15

  • Eugéne Carrel, Brut Crémant de Savoie | NV {Champagne Method without the Lamborghini Price Tag}

    The geography here is complicated, with the vines growing about 40 miles southwest of Geneva in the foothills of the French alps. The blend is distinctive, featuring 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 60% Jacquere, the main grape of Savoie. But the real story is simple: this is stupid delicious and a smoking value. Loaded with peach and apple fruit given a nutty complexity from the Jacquere and 18 months on the lees after the Champagne-style secondary fermentation. Small bubbles, creamy texture, dry finish, and loads of fun.

    $16

White Wine

  • Staffelter Hof Riesling Trocken 862 | 2019 {If you hate riesling we are not friends}

    The Staffelter Hof estate, located in Kröv in the Mosel region, is not only the oldest winery in the world, it’s also one of the world’s oldest companies of any kind. It was founded in the year 862 (yes, 862!). It offers a still rather backward nose made of mirabelle, pear, aniseed herbs, dark spices, a hint of whipped cream, citrusy elements, and smoke. The wine is beautifully juicy and tart on the intense and mineral-infused palate and leaves a great sense of tart, mineral, and herbal fruits in the finish.

    $17

  • Fuchs, Steiermark Sauvignon Blanc | 2021 {Austria's Answer To Sancerre}

    Lemon zest notes and a hint of passion fruit rise from the glass. The palate is fresh, easy and broadens to accommodate all of that citrus freshness.

    $16

  • Van Loggerenberg, Break a Leg Chardonnay | 2021 {Better than most Chablis we have Tasted, No Oak}

    This Chardonnay is a blend of fruit from Polkadraai Hills and Devon Valley (both in Stellenbosch). Gloriously fresh and mineral – unwooded, but not austere, this is a great option for those that like more precise wines.

    $16

  • Woodlands Wines, Wilyabrup Valley Chardonnay | 2020 {New World Chard from the Grand Cru of Margaret River}

    Marked by scents of melon, pear and toasted grain, the 2020 Wilyabrup Valley Chardonnay is medium to full-bodied, with a plump, slightly grainy texture. It's mouthwatering and balanced on the finish, combining notes of honey and citrus.

    $17

  • Colonnara, Lyricus Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi | 2021 {there is life beyond pinot grigio}

    This has subdued aromas of beeswax and a whiff of acacia honey. The aromas carry over to the simple, light-bodied palate along with hints of dried apricot and bitter nut.

    $15

  • Domaine Blard, Micraster | 2016 {A Great Alpine Organic Producer of Jacquere}

    On this beautiful 100% Jacquere wine from Abymes the nose is all lemon, salt, meadow flowers and river stones. Aged on lees in tank for 3 months it is very fresh and pure in the mouth, has some of the bracing sting of a young Chablis but is lower in alcohol and finishes crisp and refreshingly dry.

    $15

Rose Wine and Orange Wine

  • Pardas Pell A Pell, Xarel-Lo (Orange Wine) | 2021 {Great Intro To Skin Contact Orange Wine}

    A much more straightforward expression than previous vintages, this is such a fantastic entry into orange wine. The tongue in cheek name,‘Pell a Pell’ translates to ‘Skin to Skin’. Certified Organic, zero pesticides/herbicides/chemicals, un-ploughed soil, hand harvested, unfined/unfiltered. Fermented in stainless with wild yeast for 15 days on skins, aged 5 months in stainless.

    $16

  • Domaine La Viguerie, Les Falaises de Braise Tavel | 2019 {Broad Shoulder Rosé}

    Clay on the top soil and then moves to limestone, giving the grapes here bright fruit and minerality. And that is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR on this wine. 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and Bourboulenc and Clairette. 50 year old vines on average. And winemaking is very clean and in cement for the whole ride.

    $17

Red Wine

  • Stefan Meyer, Löss Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) | 2019 { OMG Do We Love German Pinot!!}

    Spatburgunder = German Pinot Noir and this wine is a classic example of it. Clean, bright, with notes of fresh red fruit and a lovely, subtle brambly undertone. From three different clonal selections along with massal selections of spätburgunder planted to loam over limestone. Partially destemmed depending on vintage. All clones are vinified separately at harvest and an attentive sorting is done in the vineyards. 14 days on skins and with twice daily pump overs until the wine is 70% fermented. Wine spends 12 months in large neutral oak and is unfiltered.

    $17

  • Boschkloof, Cabernet Sauvignon | 2020 {South Africa is An Exciting Place For Wine Right Now!!}

    The Borman’s farming methods are approached as sustainably as possible. All of the grapes are handpicked to secure the quality of the fruit before they enter the cellar. A hands-off approach towards vinification takes place in the cellar, with only ambient yeast fermentations being used, showcasing the terroir and exposing a sense of place in the wines. Reenen has dialed back the amount of new oak greatly and added alternative fermentation and aging vessels (concrete, terra cotta, etc).

    $17

  • Quinta Das Maias, Dão Vinho Tinto | 2017 {Portugal's answer to Cru Beaujolais}

    This red is from an organic estate in the foothills of Portugal's Serra da Estrela mountain range. That terroir - the high altitude and sandy granite soil - contributes to the graphite nose and rich cherry flavours.

    $16

  • Roterfaden & Rosswag, Co-Op “Terraces” Red | 2019 {Lemberger, Trollinger, Regent, Schwarzriesling, yea we know you havent heard of any of these grapes}

    From a tiny village surrounded by vineyards that have immense challenges (and rewards). Everything must be done by hand the local Rosswag co-op handles the lion's share of the wine production. Hannes Hoffmann and Olympia Samara, the Roterfaden half of the project, are advocates of biodynamic farming and have a solid belief in the future of this small German region.

    $17

  • Orēnia, Duche D'Uzes Rouge | 2019 {Southern Rhone in High Heels}

    Duché d’Uzès is a small AOP (308 hectares) that was created in June 2012. 80% Syrah, 20% Grenache. The parcels are located on clay-limestone ridges with good drainage. A strict pruning ensures beautiful healthy bunches and good ripeness. That is an ideal configuration for the Syrah. It shows a dark purple color, candied black fruit and spicy aromas, and the violet notes typical of the best Syrah wines.

    $16

  • Goyo Garcia Viadero, Joven de Vinas Vieja Ribera del Duero | 2021 {Natural wine making done right}

    Joven de Viñas Viejas is Goyo’s only non-oaked red wine, from a dry-farmed vineyard planted entirely to Tempranillo at high elevation. The grapes were hand-harvested the first 2 weeks of October, destemmed and fermented with wild yeasts in steel tank with 3 months of skin maceration, then raised entirely in tank before being bottled without fining, filtration or any addition of SO2.

    $17

  • I Greco, Gaglioppo Cata Calabria Rosso | 2016 {Rustic southern italian charm}

    The red wines are 100% Gaglioppo, a rustic variety native to the area which typically has dusty tannins and aromas of roses; it is an offspring of Sangiovese and a cousin to Nerello Mascalese. The vineyards are certified organic, and no fertilizer is used. Instead they plant cover crops, and are careful to not work the soil so as to favor natural biodiversity. In the cellar, there is zero technological input.

    $16

  • Bosman Family Vineyards, Twyfeling Cinsaut | 2020 {Just a Ludicrously Elegant wine}

    Cinsaut -- sometimes Sanso, sometimes Cinsault -- is a workhorse grape in South Africa, usually cultivated from bush vines. This is a modern take on a old and neglected champion of Cape winemaking. Sorted, de-stemmed, slightly crushed grapes fermented at lower temperatures (24-26 C) and matured in a 225l and a second and third fill French oak barrels. Natural, rustic, delicious. Deep plum center with purple rim. Lovely fresh berry flavors with hints of tobacco, spice, and savory notes. Luscious and concentrated although of medium body. A bold wine with an elegant structure.

    $17

Dessert Wine

  • Acquesi, Valle Delle Rose Brachetto D' Acqui | 2021

    Deep ruby red colour with fine and persistent bubbles in the glass. Intense aromatics of raspberries and blackberries readies your palate for a delicious, semi-sweet treat with a delicate mousse texture. A versatile wine as a dessert or aperitif at only 5.5% abv.

    $14

  • Dandelion Vineyards, Legacy of Australia PX Sherry | 30yr

    This wine bears little resemblance to those motor-oil-dark, super concentrated, cloying wines from southern Spain. The grape variety is the same, but the NV Legend of Australia Pedro Ximenez xxxo is only medium amber in hue and is remarkably drinkable and complex.

    $16

  • Domaine du Mas Blanc, Banyuls Hors d'Age le Colloque | NV

    From the benchmark producer of the appellation and most historic estate in Roussillon, ‘Le Colloque’ is made from old-vine Grenache noir aged in demi-muid. The wine is a blend of three vintages with reserve wine from the previous blend of vintages in a roughly 2/3 to 1/3 proportion. Balanced, poised and energetic, the specified vintages lend vibrancy and exuberance; the reserve wine depth and complexity.
