Friday Evening Tastings, 5 - 7pm

The first and third Friday evening of every month, we cook up something a little special with themed flights. The themes will vary along with the price, but we’ll always aim to make it interesting.

 Special Sit-Down Tastings, 6 - 8pm

When the opportunity arises to do a deep dive on a particular region, style, or producer, we will host a special guest speaker for a formal sit-down educational tasting. These are ticketed tastings and will be announced as they are planned.

Allison and Kenny McMahon met while studying wine in graduate school at Washington State University, and arrived on the scene in 2016 with matching PhDs and a passion for making wines with minerality and freshness. While the McMahon’s don’t – yet – have a vineyard of their own,The name Arabilis is a constant reminder that wine begins on a farm. Help us welcome them Saturday afternoon while we taste their latest releases of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from some of their favorite vineyards in two valleys.

Pearlstad Vineyard Chardonnay
Dampier Vineyard Chardonnay
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Wednesday, April 17th, 5-7PM: Climate Change and Wine: Look to the Alps
As our climate changes and many major wine regions get hotter, winemakers are looking to shift to new varieties, terroir, and elevations that suit our changing conditions. The spotlight is squarely on the Alps as a region for the future, and we’ll both taste and explore the opportunity ahead for Alpine Wine. 

Friday, April 19th, 5-7PM: Rioja
Spain’s most storied wine, the home of Tempranillo, and a region where centuries old traditions are being re-discovered today. Rioja has long been typecast as the home of oak enthusiasts. While this remains true in a sense, there is much more to the story. The evening of the 19th, join us as we taste a set of the latest from this classic region.
