The Unsung Red Heroes of Northern Italy

Italy boasts a shocking number of different varietals with some of the most intriguing nestled in the mountainous regions across its northern frontier. We’ll explore some of these lesser-known red varietals such as Vespolina, Lagrein, Sciava, Teraldego and more from Alto Piemonte, Alto Adige, Dolomites and Vallée d’Aoste. Super interesting wines that once discovered offer a whole new adventure in Italian reds.

German Riesling: I Can’t Quit You Baby

Riesling and summer were made to go together, with the fresh aromatics, vibrant flavors and crisp minerally acidity serving as a perfect foil for warm weather, and a booster for relaxation and great food. We’ll present a selection from bone-dry trocken and feinherb styles to classic kabinett. Toss out the “all Riesling is sweet” trope and discover why it’s considered a hidden varietal gem. You may just end up being “sweet” on Riesling!

Pinot Noir and More with Hundred Suns & Stephen Goff - Taste 10 Wines for just $25!

We're thrilled to be able to get two of our favorite Willamette Valley wineries into the shop to pour Pinot Noir plus several other varietals. Grant Coulter and Renée Saint-Amour at Hundred Suns produce a stellar lineup of expressive Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other reds. Grant was formerly winemaker at Beaux Frères, before heading up the team at Flâneur (while juggling Hundred Suns). Steve Goff predated Grant as winemaker at Beaux Frères and has been winemaker and vineyard manager at Colene Clemens since 2008, while also juggling his own label. Total pros and busy guys! Both wineries' goal is to bottle a true expression of each varietal and ​vineyard, and while each has their own personal approach, both consistently deliver the goods from a top-notch collection of sites.

Needless to say, this should be a killer tasting: Grant and Renée will pour Old Eight Cut, Eola-Amity, Bednarik and Carson Phillips single-vineyard Pinots and Rocks District Syrah. Steve will pour Willamette Valley, the Weber and Shea single-vineyard Pinots, a new Gamay and the Rosé from Colene Clemens. We hope you can make it!

$25 per person. No reservation required
