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. 

Upcoming Tastings

Friday, October 3rd: 5-7PM: Affordable Burgundy
In a world where the price of Burgundy seems to go up every time we look, it is important to remind ourselves every now and again that there are still good values to find in Burgundy. Join us Friday evening for a flight of our favorite Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that doesn’t break the bank! What you won’t taste: Grand Crus. What you will taste: grand values from Chablis to Chalon, Macon, and Dijon.

Saturday, October 4th, 12-4PM: David Paige at the Winemaker’s Barrel
David Paige has made a lot of wine in Oregon, and you’ve likely had some. He was the winemaker for Adelsheim for two decades before, in 2018, he decided to start his own brand. After teaming up with a couple business partners, he found a vineyard in the Eola Amity Hills on volcanic soil and started making David Paige Wines. Come by on Saturday afternoon for a taste of classic Willamette Valley wine, and to hear stories from the vineyard.

Tuesday, October 7th, 5-7PM: Chris Schlueter with the wines of Georgia
If you’re curious about the wines of Georgia – or Sakartvelo as the Georgians call it (or საქართველო as the Georgians spell it) – come by Tuesday evening for a drop in tasting hosted by Georgian wine expert Chris Schlueter. Even though the Georgians invented wine 8,000 years ago, there’s still nothing in the world quite like their iconic amphora-aged wines – Qvevri in local parlance – but Georgian wine doesn’t stop with skin-contact orange; there’s all sorts of wine coming out of Georgia today, and all of it deserves our attention. The tasting is complementary, featured glasses available for purchase.

EVENT POSTPONED! STAY TUNED FOR NEW DATE. Wednesday, October 15th, 6PM: Understanding Sake and Food with Eli Nygren
Sake is great. One of the best parts of Sake is the way it pairs with all sorts of food. If you’re trying to wrap your head around a drink there’s no better way to do so than with a bite of food alongside, so on October 15th, we will sit down with Sake expert Eli Nygren for a detailed seminar and a taste across the spectrum of this fantastic drink, just as complex and food-friendly as wine.  Seating is limited and reservations are required, $45 per seat.

Friday, October 17th, 5-7PM: Merlot From Around the World

Maybe we should drink another Merlot? Don’t let the Hollywood writers fool you with their obscure jokes, Merlot is unquestionably one of the finest varieties in the world. It is also found nearly everywhere vines are grown. Join us for a taste of Merlot from all over the world, and for kicks, we will be playing SIdeways on the tube.
