Holiday Wine Selections from our Specialty Team
Summary
Troon Kubli Bench Amber
With a blend of Vermentino, Viognier, and Roussanne, this amber-hued wine has brightness, richness, and a bit of spice. This wine is best served cool, not cold, and pairs well with just about everything.
Certified Organic, Regenerative Organic, and Biodynamic
Troon Tannat
Featuring a mixture of Tannat and Malbec grapes, this red wine is made like a classic blend from Southern France, but done with Oregon style. While Tannat is known for bold tannic structure, the Malbec rounds it out, creating a silky, full bodied red, which has great range for pairing.
Certified Organic, Regenerative Organic, and Biodynamic
IL Mostro
Any wine from Il Mostro is a hit at our stores! From bubbly to still, their wines utilize the classic grapes of Abruzzo, Italy, and the end result is bright, fresh, juicy and complex. Looking for a pairing suggestion? Just ask a specialty staff member.
Made with Organic Grapes
Tablas Creek Esprit De Tablas Blanc
Crafted from a blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Picpoul, Bourboulenc and Clairette Blanche, this bright white wine is fresh, lush, and elegant. Rhone in influence, and aided by a California style balance, it pairs perfectly with lighter dishes.
Certified Organic, Certified Regenerative Organic
Bonterra Roost Single Vineyard Chardonnay
Part of the Bonterra Single Vineyard Series, this Chardonnay features grapes exclusively grown at the Blue Heron Ranch in the upper Russian River area. It’s juicy and fresh, with vibrant minerality, and acid on the finish. Pairs well with roasted chicken or turkey.
Certified Biodynamic
Laporte Le Rochoy Sancerre
Made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc from one of the most iconic appellations in the Loire Valley of France, this wine is difficult to source, but very much worth the effort. Featuring intense minerality, restrained sweetness and pure elegance, we recommend pairing with seafood, lighter meats, and vegetables.
