Tom helped found the importer Small Vineyards in 2002 and was our early guide into the joys of these delicious, affordable, often unique wines. With the gift of gab and an infectious enthusiasm, Tom will share stories, legends and histories as he pours a range of newly arrived vintages of off-the-beaten path favorites including Verdeca, Ciliegiolo, Aglianico as well as Nebbiolo, Verdicchio and more.

Sold mostly via the winery’s mailing list and restaurants, Turley is at or near the top of any Zin lover’s list. Although they produce a dizzying array of single vineyard bottlings from up and down the state, they continue to do so in a masterful way. Once a favorite fall tradition here, it's been a few years since we opened a bunch of different bottles to compare so let's get on the stick! We'll pour recently arrived single vineyard bottlings from Napa, Paso Robles, Amador and more.

Trying to list all the great Italian white varietals is enough to make one really thirsty... for a great Italian white of course. There's a beautiful kaleidoscope of flavors beyond the well-known Pinot Grigio – delicious interesting wines that once explored keep customers coming back. As we prepare to bid farewell to summer, let's toast the bounty of amazing wines. It's not easy to whittle down the list but we'll pour recent favorites from all corners of Italy (if it had corners): Erbaluce from Piedmont, Catarratto from Sicily, Falanghina from Campania, Vermentino from Sardinia and more.
