Shop with us on Sunday, 11/23 from 12-5 and we will help you get ready for Thanksgiving with a tasting of the 2022 Tassajara Pinot Noir from Monterey County. A great, versatile, approachable red for Thanksgiving dinner.

Hey #wine peeps, give my shop a follow. :-)
The holidays approach, and we want to make it as easy as possible to shop for all your holiday libations and gifts. So starting November 2, we will be open on Sundays from 12-5! Chris will be there and will open something fun to taste each week. We’ll see you on Sundays soon!

Save the date! On Friday, October 24, from 4-6 p.m., Viviana from 100% Italiano will be in the shop tasting their Amaro Importante and two Italian red wines from their portfolio. A great way to start your Friday evening.

New: shelf talkers! With new ownership comes change. The most important change is expanding our products, which is our primary focus now. But these are my babies. We know that sometimes you don’t feel like talking. So I researched and wrote these shelf talkers. -Chris

I’m finding it’s a bit dangerous to own @marylandfarmsws.bsky.social as I keep coming across gems like this on our shelves. #wine #Port

The bright aromas of raspberry, blackberry, strawberry & cherry meld together on the palette. Soft, yet firm tannins frame the fruit with spices & vanilla into a balanced, lingering finish. Come in and grab a bottle of Willajory Willamtte Valley Pinot Noir at under $20!

For my Friday #wine post, this is a helpful breakdown of the price hikes the wine & spirits industry is seeing following the #tariffs. It cost me $50 more for my spring shipment from New Zealand. Politics aside, drinking is just more expensive now. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/indu...

For my Friday #wine post, a feature on California #Zinfandel. My go-to producers? Limerick Lane and Ridge. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine...

There’s a duh/strawman aspect to this. Of course taste & cost are the most important factors in selling #wine. “Here is my $300 Cab. It tastes like overripe, molded fruit but we have solar panels!” Get out of here. It’s about making great wine then telling the story of why it is worth a few extra $.

For my Friday #wine post, here is a little primer on what the word "reserve" actually means on a wine label. The short answer? Everything or nothing, depending on who is using it and where. www.wineenthusiast.com/basics/drink...

Want high quality traditional method sparkling wines without the hefty price tag of high-end Champagne? I recommend Franciacorta & England. Ca' del Bosco is amazing. Hopefully more of these wines will be entering American markets even with the tariff threats. www.decanter.com/wine-travel/...

Okay BlueSky #wine people, I have a family trip to the #London area near the end of this month. Wine related things I need to do? Places to go?

For my Friday #wine post, an insightful article about the brilliance of #PinotNoir from #NewZealand, and #CentralOtago in particular. I particularly recommend the wines of Two Paddocks, Chard Farm, and Felton. www.foodandwine.com/new-zealand-...
