2022 James Rahn Sparkling Pinot Gris, Silverback Vineyard, Willamette Valley, Oregon $32.99
Winery notes - this is a crisp, refreshing, lively wine with nice, rich bubbles. Aromas of dried white flowers, uncontrollable apricot leather, and nougat greet you before flavors of ripe apple, lemon custard, and pineapple dance across the palate. This wine is most certainly best paired with oversized glasses, a bunch of friends, a cooler full of ice, a porch, stories full of exaggerations, and fits of laughter.
2022 Martha Stoumen Post Flirtation White, California $33.99
40% Roussanne, 28% Marsanne, 24% Muscat blanc, 9% Colombard · California
This refreshing blend tastes like straight up lemonade served with a hint of citrahops. Lively aromas of ocean air mingle with a touch of lime zest for a libation that’s begging for sunshine and seaside vacations.
Martha Stoumen Wines was founded upon the desire to recapture a farming and winemaking culture that has all but faded away: a winemaking culture of patience.
After 8 years apprenticing around the world, Martha set out as a self-funded, first generation winemaker to answer the question, “What does California taste like?” In our hot little corner of Northern California, Mediterranean grapes thrive and healthy vineyards allow us to create joyful balanced wines. Our wines are made from unexpected varietals and offer new takes on California classics. We do things the right way even if it's not the easy or cool way. Of the nearly two dozen wines we make every year, blends and flavors change but our desire to share the simple pleasures of natural wine remains the same.

2023 Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon
At Walter Scott, we embrace the wisdom of Burgundy's legendary importer Becky Wasserman, who famously said, 'You can always judge a great domaine by the quality of their Bourgogne bottling.' Inspired by this ethos, we pour the same passion into our Willamette Valley wines as we do into our single vineyard selections.
Translating to 'The Green Fault' or 'The Green Valley,' La Combe Verte pays homage to the lush landscapes of the Willamette Valley and our cherished friends at Patricia Green Cellars, the incubator for the fledgeling Walter Scott first vintage.
The 2023 La Combe Verte blends the elegant, volcanic soils of Eola-Amity with the powerful, marine sedimentary expressions of Sequitur and Freedom Hill Vineyards, crafting wines that embody strength, grace, and our deep-rooted commitment to excellence
2023 Broc Cellars La Boutanche Zinfandel, Sonoma, California $34.99
WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
California’s identity as a table wine, for us, begins with Zinfandel. It’s a fresh, vibrant
grape when picked early and plays well with food pairings. The Zinfandel grapes were
destemmed and naturally fermented in open top stainless fermenters. After the wine
was gently pressed, it was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 8 months. We made
this acid driven, food friendly wine that everyone should enjoy at the table.
VITICULTURAL AREA:
We sourced grapes for La Boutanche from all over Northern California. The vineyards
included Lopez Vineyard on Mohawk Trail in Redwood Valley, Arrowhead Vineyard in
Sonoma Valley and Enz Vineyard in Lime Kiln Valley. All vineyards are organically
farmed.
2018 Robert Sinskey Point of View Red, Napa Valley, California $71.99
New World precision meets Old World soul for a “Right Bank” of Napa claret with unparalleled deliciousness, depth and complexity. The 2018 vintage of POV makes its presence known in an emphatic way. Summer-fresh tart bing cherry, ripe raspberry and blackberry bramble lend a crispness from first sip to last. Secondary notes of rose petal, fresh oregano, forest floor and mocha nod to the terroir of the Mayacamas foothills in the northern reaches of Los Carneros, rich in red soil and farmed with organic, regenerative practices. The wine is framed in elegant, understated French oak with a savory core that will continue to open and evolve as the wine ages.
