word, lots of words, stay with us...
Friends,
2020 has been a year of hard conversations and seemingly endless setbacks. One particularly difficult choice for us was shutting down all in store tastings. It was a no brainer to preserve the safety of ourselves and our customers, but man! We really miss tasting wine with you... and of those tastings that were lost this year, none have weighed more on me than the fate of our annual Grower Champagne tasting events!
So it is with great pride that we announce the "Save the Bubbles" Take-home Champagne Tasting, coming to you remotely Friday, November 20!
The way it will work: register online or in person for a tasting slot, then swing by the store on the big day to pick up your tasting kit of 5 fabulous half-bottles of real, pop-the-cork-yourself grower Champagne (and maybe some selected snacks to pair too), and then you're ready to enjoy the tasting from the safety and comfort of your own home! We'll send you a link to a video of Owen tasting the wines right there with you, answering questions you send in advance, and using the power of video editing and fancy graphics to help you understand the world of Champagne better than ever.
And the best part: this is a tasting you can enjoy at your own leisure and pace. Taste the wines straight through, or take your time and taste them over the course of the weekend. That's what the pause button was invented for! And if you've already got a few awkward Zoom calls under your belt, don't worry: we're making this as simple and easy as possible. Watching the tasting video is as simple as clicking a YouTube link.
After you've finished the tasting, you'll have the opportunity to order the wines at a special discount just like before. Take your time, pick your favorites, and let us know what you need to get ready for the holidays and the coming year.
We're offering a $25 discount for customers who register this weekend, so jump in now if you want to join us! Even though it's digital, the Champagne is still physical, so slots are limited.
Stay tuned for more updates everyone! And as always, thank you so much for everything you do for us!

Olive oil has been part of Mediterranean life for thousands of years. It's more than a cooking fat—it's culture, health, and history in a bottle. As Americans we've been a bit slow to catch on...
We’ve just received word that prices will increase on May 1, so we’re putting together one last order at the current pricing. This is your chance to scoop up any legacy favorites you’ve been eyeing—or discover something new in their gorgeous 2025 catalog (you can browse it here ).
Join us for a special seated tasting on Thursday, May 15 from 5–7 PM with Clarke Boehling of Rosenthal Wine Merchant While visiting trade accounts in the area, Clarke has carved out time to lead this intimate tasting—and we’re thrilled to host him. This is a rare chance to explore the Rosenthal portfolio through the eyes (and palate) of someone who knows it inside and out. Tickets here .

Spring Cleaning?
Really there is so much to know.
Fall Wine Extravaganza Join us for an afternoon of delicious wines! Unlike our tastings of the past, this will be more like what we call a "trade" tasting. Each rep will be stationed at a table with 4 of their wines - a mix of chilled whites/roses and reds. You are welcome to mingle, pose questions to the reps, bounce back and forth and taste at your own pace. We'll provide solo cups to encourage you to pace yourself and spit. We'll have staff passing bites of food to pair. We'll be joined by Eric, Jesse and Ken in the Coupeville Rec Hall. This will give us all plenty of room to spread out. There will be discounts offered, lots of conversations had and as much education as you would like. This is a standing, social tasting. Wine club members enjoy discounted ticket pricing as well as deeper discounts on orders at the event. Join one of our wine clubs before the event to take advantage of these extra discounts. You don't want to miss this one! A great opportunity to taste before you buy, restock your wine rack and choose a few special bottles for the upcoming holiday season. Saturday 29 October 3 - 5 Coupeville Rec Hall tickets are required Non-wine Club member Wine Club member
