June 26 – Wines of Rioja Opici Imports

Rioja is one of Spain’s great wine regions—and for good reason.
We’ll be pouring a lineup from El Coto, known for expressive reds that are both classic and approachable.
Tempranillo in all its glory, with complimentary bites to match.
A no-pressure, all-pleasure evening of Rioja in Coupeville. Expect complimentary bites (from our gracious hosts), rich conversation, and maybe a new favorite bottle.

July 3 – The Rhône

From peppery Syrahs of the north to the lush Grenache blends of the south, the Rhône Valley offers some of the most soulful wines in the world.  This tasting captures its range—earthy, floral, spicy, fresh. Red, white, and possibly rosé.
Come for the layers, stay for the warmth.

July 10 – Natural State

Natural wine doesn’t mean murky and weird—it means made with intention. We’ll pour a selection of low-intervention wines that are clean, vibrant, and full of energy.  Some will be wild. Some will be beautifully restrained.  All are alive in the glass—and worth exploring.

July 17 – Piedmont

Hosted by Sam from Vehrs
Nebbiolo. Barbera. Dolcetto. Arneis.
This corner of Italy delivers wines with structure, soul, and story.
Sam from Vehrs will walk us through a lineup that celebrates both the powerhouses (Barolo) and the everyday table wines that locals love.
An evening for Italophiles, adventurers, and curious palates alike.

July 24 – Boxes & Bags

Hosted by Jesse of PSI
This one’s for the skeptics and the curious: yes, great wine comes in boxes and pouches.
Jesse will guide us through a flight of well-made, sustainable, no-glass-needed options.
Great for parties, picnics, and midweek pours that don’t compromise quality.
You just might leave a convert.

July 31 – Pinot Gris & Noir

From crisp and mineral to plush and brooding—Pinot grapes wear many faces.
We’re pouring both Gris and Noir in a tasting that spans the globe.
Some are serious and age-worthy, others playful and picnic-ready.
This is a study in contrast—and a celebration of one of wine’s most versatile families.

August 7 – House Faves

These are the wines we reach for again and again—the staff crushes, customer favorites, and low-key stunners.
Expect variety, value, and a little bit of surprise.
If you trust our taste (and we think you should), this is the week to show up.

August 14 – Obscure Around the World

Inspired by Forgotten Grapes, this tasting is all about the underdogs.
We’re talking grapes like Furmint, Mencía, Bobal, Godello, Cinsault, and País—often overlooked, but full of character.
If you’ve never heard of it, we probably poured it.
A night for the curious and open-minded.

August 21 – Spain & Portugal

Hosted by Eric from Vinea Imports
From bright, coastal Albariño to bold reds from Ribera del Duero and the Dão—Eric will guide us through the Iberian Peninsula’s rich and diverse wine culture.
Expect balance, energy, and value in every glass.
And yes, maybe a little sherry or port to finish.

August 28 – Endless Summer

We’re closing the season with wines we don’t want to stop drinking: fresh whites, chillable reds, rosés that still hit.
Think sunset sippers, patio heroes, and porch-friendly pours.
No rules. Just easy summer drinking—until next year!
