Hollow Leg Sparkling Cuvee Blanc
Hollow Leg is a collaboration between a Galician winemaker, a restaurateur and a wine importer all with a shared vision to create a quality wine that is “everything but alcohol.”
Hollow Leg has redefined what is possible in the Non Alcoholic category. Through their unique low temperature evaporation process the winery has ensured that this Sparkling Cuvee Blanc has great mouthfeel, taste and aromas. And Hollow Leg is gastronomic: low sugar and high acid levels makes it easy to enjoy solo, yet very food friendly and able to pair with a wide variety of cuisines. This Sparkling is crafted from organic Albarino grapes and each glass contains only 9 calories & 0.4 grams of sugar.
Tasting notes: Bright and pure on the nose, with elegant aromas of citrus peel and pear. The palate is lively and crisp with a rich mousse and balanced acidity that creates a long and flavorsome finish.
Eve’s Cidery Sparking Perry Pear
This naturally sparkling Perry is made from 80% wild pears foraged by Autumn & Ezra in the hills and valleys of their region and from 20% bio intensively*** grown pears from their own family orchard. Wild yeast primary fermentation in stainless steel and neutral oak is followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle, and then the Perry is hand disgorged. The result is a bone dry delightful sparkling glass with notes of golden pear, warm vanilla, soft smoke and brine. Pair with appetizers, blue cheese & aged cheddar and light seafood entrees. Featured in the New York Times 2025 Holiday Gift Guide as a great gift pick
Véloré Ventoux Blanc
Like a sunlit ride up Mont Ventoux, a legendary cycling destination, véloré is an energetic, vibrant, fresh white wine inspired by the community of cyclists that regularly scale the Mont Ventoux which climbs to 1,912 meters tall (6,273 feet). The name véloré blends “vélo” (bicycle) and “ore” (gold) to embrace both the cycling culture and warmth of the region.
Three distinct soil types in these vineyards add depth and character to the wine. Sandy soils in the hills bring elegance and lift. Zaffer, a mix of sandstone and sand found on the slopes enhances structure and minerality. Stony terraces of fallen rocks provided drainage making it a perfect site for vines
Tasting notes: Bright citrus, white flower and crisp pear glide across the palate, balanced by lively acidity and subtle minerality. Pairing ideas: Grilled shrimp tacos w/mango salsa; roast chicken w/ herbs & lemon, avocado & crab salad, vegetable spring rolls, goat cheese flatbread with pear slices & arugula
30% grenache blanc, 30% rolle, 20% clairette, 10% roussanne, 10% viognier
Kinero Cellars Talley Vineyard Chardonnay
Kinero (which means “shepard”) is a family winery crafting wines from select vineyard sites in York Mountain, Arroyo Grande & Paso Robles. Winemaker & owner Anthony Yount sees himself as a shepherd to guide the grapes along the way, crafting beautifully balanced, intricate white wines that pair harmoniously with food. Talley is a tiny certified sustainable release of Chardonnay from one of the coolest vineyards within Arroyo Grande, about an hour south west of Paso Robles, California. Arroyo Grande’s growing region benefits from an east-northeast orientation which allows coastal fog and pacific breezes to moderate the climate making an ideal area for growing Chardonnay.
Let’s talk process: these grapes were whole cluster pressed to 500L French oak barrels (40% new) for native fermentation. Occasional lees stirring and full malolactic fermentation was allowed. The wine was then aged for 16 months before being bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Aromas of racy lemon zest, pineapple, white pepper and jasmine followed by a palate with superb depth. Flavors of peach, lemon grass, and nutmeg that have great tension on the long, mineral-driven finish.
Schaad Cellars Pinot Noir
Forrest Schaad is a hard-working farmer and winemaker who makes some of the most charming wines we have had the pleasure of drinking. Bluebird Pinot Noir is his flagship wine. This Pinot Noir shows the classic earthiness of his vineyard with the consistent ripe red and blue fruits of the Chehalem Mountains.
Perfect Pairing: Thanksgiving dinner & lovely company
Kiona Vineyards Merlot
The Kiona Estate vineyard is the oldest on Red Mountain in Washington State. The Williams family has been farming their vineyard for three generations and they have 4 distinct blocks of Merlot. Their first vineyard was planted in 1976, and their youngest vineyard was planted in 1995. Recently there has been a dramatic increase in demand for Red Mountain AVA Merlot, owing in part to the quality of these established blocks and the elegant, layered wines they produce.
Merlot from Red Mountain is special; it's a powerful yet elegant grape, capable of producing wines of profound depth and density of character. Winemaker Tyler Williams has added a kiss of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec to his 92% Merlot to provide layering and additional complexity. * 91 points ~ Wine Enthusiast & 91 points ~ James Suckling
Besoain Carmenere
This is a single vineyard Carmenere from D.O. Cachepoal, Chile. Located between Andean foothills and the Coastal mountains, Cachapoal is one of the main valleys of the Central Zone. Its climate is mild Mediterranean with an average rainfall of 15 inches per year and a temperature range of 50-90 degrees F.
Dive into aromas of velvety blackberry, toasted oak and cassis. On the palate, great concentration and deep fruit layers are supported by hints of vanilla, mocha and garden pepper. This wine is juicy and charismatic.
Pairing ideas: Enjoy with grilled or smoked meats (like smoked Turkey) or with hearty stew.
Victor Hugo Opulence Reserve
2021 was another drought year in Paso Robles with 90% of the total rainfall occurring during the last week of January. An unusual frost in late May resulted in a smaller fruit set. The lighter crop coupled with a long warm summer led to the earliest finish to harvest at Victor Hugo ever, with a smaller harvest with excellent quality.
Tasting notes: Intense, complicated, and rich. Aromatics emanating from the multi-varietal blending include hints of black cherries, dark chocolate, and violet intertwined with spicy oak. Flavors are deep and rich with layers of pleasantly assertive tannins, cozy fruit and toasty oak. The finish is lush with piquant acidity ensuring excellent aging potential. While enjoyable currently, this Bordeaux blend will continue to improve with proper cellaring for another 6-10 years in the bottle with a plateau of best drinkability from 2030-2038.
*Harmonious pairings: beef entrees (filet or prime rib) as well as game selections.
