Strange Times

Didn't see that coming.

a neon sign that says `` you are here '' is hanging on a wall .
Nope. Not in 20 years did I think that deciding whether to open or close my "unessential"  store would be on the forefront of my mind. Several things are being tossed about. Most on our minds are keeping YOU and our staff safe. bayleaf has always been a place of joy and camaraderie. Now it feels oddly cautious. Back up, don't hug, wipe, wash, repeat...Not sure what the right answer is - I don't think any of us know...So we've decided this, we will shorten our hours to Thursday - Sunday 11-5 - (this has changed, please refer to our front page for current hours).We will suspend all tasting events and dining in. We can arrange delivery if you need or curbside service. In addition we offer these NEW business ideas for you. Join us if you can, at whatever level of comfort you are able. 
Just know that we miss you too.

Gift Certificate Program ~ you want to show support! Thanks so much. For every gift certificate purchased on our website we'll add 10% on us! When you get back in here we can celebrate together. 

Call us ~ our personalized service is something that we pride ourselves on. We don't want you to miss out on that?! Set up a call appointment and we'll do some personal shopping together on the phone. You can either pick up curbside or we'll ship to you.

To your health! ~ 6 pack of wine $99 let us know your favorite colors, we'll make it a mix!

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...

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 .

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
