Come out and try:

ALLIMANT LAUGNER CREMANT D’ALSACE ROSE
This sparkling wine is made in the traditional Champagne style, but comes from the far Northern region of Alsace. Delicate, refined and a beautiful pale salmon color, this wine offers a perfumed nose of wild strawberries and white flowers. Medium bodied with a lively crisp acidity, the palate continues the red berry fruit and floral profile, finishing with a fresh minerality.

OREGON TRAILS PINOT NOIR
From one of the accepted best areas for New World Pinot Noir, the Willamette Valley, Oregon, this deep garnet wine offers a bright nose of cherry, cranberry and hints of dark earth. The palate is medium bodied and smooth with fine, but firm structure and ripe flavors of raspberry, strawberry and warm baking spice with a lively, tart finish.

SMITH STORY LORD SANDWICH RED
This multi-vintage blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Carignane, Grenache and Petite Sirah is named for the beloved vineyard dog, Lord Sandwich. It offers rich, appealing fruit on the nose along with warm baking spice notes. The palate is silky and smooth with fine tannins and ripe flavors of blackberry, plum and peppery spice.

KIONA CABERNET-MERLOT
This blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is sourced from vineyards from throughout Washington State. Deeply colored with excellent balance between acidity, structure and body this wine offers a rich bouquet of dark berries, cedar and bittersweet chocolate.
