Featured Wines:
1) Outer Sounds Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Marlborough, New Zealand; $14.99
This is our kind of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Named after the ancient sunken river valleys that makeup the inlets and bays of the Marlborough coastline. This refreshing sip explodes out of the glass with tropical fruit notes. Balanced grassiness and grapefruit with lots of lime, gooseberry and passion fruit. - Sample $1.25
2) Summer Water Rose 2018
Central Coast, California; $9.99 Was $19.99 Save 10!
California Rose that can actually compete in quality with many of the French options?… Yes please! Summer Water has probably received more positive press than any other Rose in the past few years. Partners Erica Blumenthal and Nikki Huganir started Yes Way Rose in 2013 as a way to “spread rose vibes to all.” After a serendipitous post about one of their favorite roses, the winemaker behind that brand contacted the duo about a potential collaboration, and Summer Water was born. The brand has been featured in Marie Claire, Delish (The Best 22 Rose Wines Under $20), Buzzfeed, Country Living, Food & Wine, Cosmopolitan and Forbes Magazine. It is aq classic blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah. The flavor reminds me of candy peach-o-rings… Lots of nectarine, tangy citrus and a flinty minerality through the finish. - Sample $1.00
3) Foris Pinot Noir 2018
Rouge Valley, Oregon; $18.99
Located in the unique alpine climate of Rouge Valley, this 40+ year old producer focuses on Alsatian white varietals and Pinot Noir. This is produced from 100% estate Pinot Noir from their Cedar Ranch and Maple Ranch vineyards. All hand harvested at night and then fermented as whole berries. Aged 10 months in mostly new French oak barrels. The wine showcases the high level of complexity Oregon Pinot can achieve (compared to California) with aromas of plums, fresh herbs and florals. On the palate you get much more fresh raspberry, mocha and white pepper. - Sample $1.50
4) Milbrandt Brothers Blend 2016
Columbia Valley, Washington; $14.99
This wine received 97 points & Best of Class at this year's San Francisco International Wine Competition! It is a crazy blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot from the Ancient Lakes and Wahluke Slope AVA's in Columbia Valley. Black cherries, raspberries, plums, and savory dried herbs greet the nose. A dense, broad entry with full chewy tannin in the midpalate evolves into a luscious symphony of dark fruit. A touch of vanilla and toast complete the finish. - Sample $1.25
