New Arrivals and Staff Picks

2018, Folk Machine' White Light' California White Table Wine, $15
Grapes: Blend of Tocai Friulano, Riesling, Verdelho, and Sauvignon Blanc

2019, Whoa Nelly Willamette Valley Rose, $16
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: Very fun and straightforward local Rose by wine maker, Anne Hubatch. This light pink wine has focused on red berry fruit and lemon citrus. It's as easy-drinking as they come.

2017 Vinas Serranas Ciclon Tinto, $20
Grapes: Blend of Rufete, Rufete Blanco, Calabres, and Aragones

Tasting Notes: A unique Spanish blend from southeastern Spain. This red has a beautifully rustic and spicy fragrance, with a medium density of tangy blue fruit on the palate. Great burger wine!

Geek of the Week

2019 Ercole Moscato d’Asti, $17
Grapes: Moscato d’Asti

Tasting Notes: A classic effervescent aperitif from the Piedmont region of Italy. This wine has intense aromas of ripe stone fruit, with tart tangerine on the palate. Fantastic brunch wine!!

Last Call for the Caprese, Plus More Tasty Wines

With all of the wildfires ravaging Oregon and along the West Coast, it has been a somber week. Our thoughts are with the folks working hard fighting the fires and those who've had to evacuate or experienced damage and loss. The rain can't come fast enough!

Last Call for the Caprese!

Unfortunately, the tomato season will come to an end as we head into fall, which means we will be changing up the menu. So be sure to grab a delicious PBS Caprese while it's available.

Our Caprese is much like us, a little different. We have the traditional Mozzarella and delicious vine-ripened tomatoes, and then we add our house olive tapenade and spinach. As if that wasn't enough, we drizzle it with basil oil and a little balsamic reduction before toasting it up to perfection. So delicious!!

Come by and grab one, your belly will thank you!

Geek of the Week 

2019 Franchere ‘Cascadia’ Red Blend, $21
Grapes: Blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Gruner Veltliner, Gamay 

Tasting Notes: Quirky ‘natural wine’ producer from right here in the Willamette Valley. Each year I am impressed with how the Franchere wines are consistently both exciting and delicious. Their motto says it all, 'unique blends, alternative varieties, and minimal intervention.' The Cascadia red blend is sustainably farmed, naturally fermented with zero oak, unfined, and so so so tasty. This wine smells like fresh-squeezed blood orange juice and blueberry muffin baking spices. It shows cracked black pepper and boysenberry on the palate and finishes with a slightly silky texture.
