Three w**es, three regions, and a very good reason to spend Thursday evening at J9.�

Join us this Thursday from 5–7 PM for a lineup that starts crisp and sparkling, moves into a textured Spanish white, and finishes with a juicy Gamay that feels just right for the start of fall.�

Cellars AT Roca, Corpinnat Reserva | Penedès, Spain
Macabeu + Xarel-lo�
Traditional-method sparkling made from organic old vines, with zero dosage and a minimum of 20 months on the lees. Think lemon zest, tart lime, green apple, almond, and baked biscuit with a creamy mousse and plenty of freshness.�

Bodegas Gancedo, “Capricho” | Bierzo, Spain
Godello�
Organically grown on high-altitude mountain vines, this is dry and beautifully textured while still holding onto bright acidity and minerality. Citrus, orchard fruit, and white blossoms keep it fresh and balanced.�

Division W**emaking Co., “Les Petits Fers” | Oregon + Washington
Gamay Noir�
A low-intervention, French-inspired Gamay from Portland’s Division W**emaking Co. Light, juicy, and bright with crunchy raspberry, tart red fruit, dried herbs, pepper, and a deep mineral streak. Basically, the red we want to be drinking as fall settles in.�

Come taste all three with us Thursday from 5–7 PM. No passport required, just a free hand for a w**e glass.

Thursday Tasting is back, and we’re heading to Italy.

Join us TOMORROW from 5–7 PM for three pours that move from bubbles to bright and mineral to something with a little more grip.

G.D. Vajra “Della Neve” Extra Brut Rosé NV | Piedmont
Nebbiolo + Pinot Noir, made in the traditional method and aged approximately 60 months on the lees. Fragrant, fresh and structured, balancing Nebbiolo’s character with the softer elegance of Pinot Noir.

Fantinel Tenuta Sant’ Helena “Caterina” Ribolla Gialla 2022 | Venezia Giulia
Crisp apple, citrus and yellow florals meet lively acidity and a distinctly mineral finish. Bright, refreshing and quietly complex.

Guido Porro “Vigna Santa Caterina” Barbera d’Alba 2024 | Piedmont
Dark cherry and plum with subtle spice and mineral notes. Bright acidity and refined tannins give this Barbera a little more structure and grip than you might expect.

Three very different expressions of Italy, one very good reason to stop by J9.
TOMORROW (9/23) | 5–7 PM

A little break in the tasting lineup this week.

Mark your calendars, and we’ll see you then.

Three countries, three very different pours. Tomorrow’s Thursday Tasting takes us from Burgundy to Baden to Nemea, with a lineup that moves from sparkling rosé to a crisp Blanc de Noirs and finishes with a savory Mediterranean red.

Andre Delorme, “Terroirs des Fruits” Brut Rosé NV | Burgundy, France
A traditional-method Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé with bright strawberry and raspberry notes, balanced by an elegant, polished finish.

Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen, “Steinbruble” Blanc de Noirs 2025 | Baden, Germany
Pinot Noir, but not as you know it. White-vinified and dry, with notes of melon, mandarin, marzipan, subtle pineapple and almond. Fresh, juicy and lifted by clean acidity.

Gai’a, “Notios” Red Blend 2025 | Nemea, Greece
A blend of native Agiorgitiko and Syrah bringing together ripe red fruit, soft tannins, spice and structure for a rich, balanced finish.

Join us tomorrow from 5–7 PM and taste your way through France, Germany and Greece, one glass at a time.

Come curious. We’ll handle the w**e.😉

A little last-minute, and a very good reason to make plans for Thursday.

Join us tomorrow from 5–7 PM for an impromptu tasting with John House, Founder & W**emaker of **eco, featuring two bright, coastal-inspired w**es from sustainably and organically farmed vineyards.

Big Salt White Blend 2025 //
Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Early Muscat, Pinot Blanc & Pinot Gris //
Aromatic and textural with salty lemon, ginger, sea spray and tropical citrus. Native fermentation, extended lees contact and time in concrete, neutral oak and stainless steel give this dry, zippy white plenty of character and a distinctly briny finish.

PNK Salt Rosé 2025 //
99% Cabernet Sauvignon & 1% Big Salt //
Fresh red cherry, currant and green fig meet vibrant acidity and a lean, savory finish with Big Salt’s signature saline edge.

We’ll keep things casual, pour alongside John, talk through the w**es, and have a few snacks from on hand.

Sometimes the best tastings are the ones that come together at the last minute. Come taste with us tomorrow from 5-7 PM at J9.

Tomorrow, we’re taking a trip through Northern Italy.

Join us Thursday from 5–7 PM as we taste three w**es from three distinct regions, each offering a different expression of Northern Italy.

EMILIA-ROMAGNA //
Cleto Chiarli Rosé de Noir Brut Spumante NV //
Lambrusco Grasparossa + Pinot Nero
Wild cherry, raspberry, rosemary, and thyme with a bright, juicy palate and crisp, lingering finish.

VENETO //
Ca Maiol “Prestige” Lugana 2024 //
Turbiana
Green apple, lime, wild thyme, white pepper, and soft minerality with a fresh, balanced finish.

PIEDMONT //
La Miraja Grignolino d’Asti 2024 //
Grignolino
Rose hip, violet, bing cherry, fresh mushroom, and stony minerality in a light, perfumed red. A particularly special pour after getting to spend time with seventh-generation w**emaker Eugenio Gatti in April.

Three regions. Three very different sides of Northern Italy.

Come taste your way through Italy with us tomorrow night, and maybe leave with a new Italian favorite.

A little trip to Spain, no passport required.

Tomorrow from 5 to 7 PM, we’re pouring our way through one of our favorite travel destinations: Spain.

We’ll begin in Rueda with Ramón Bilbao “Early Harvest” Verdejo, a bright and vibrant white layered with citrus peel, green apple, fresh-cut grass, and orange blossom.

Next, Verum “Ulterior” Naranja takes us to Castilla-La Mancha. This organic, skin-contact w**e is aged in clay amphorae, bringing together ripe orchard fruit, dried flowers, wild herbs, gentle tannins, and mineral depth.

We’ll finish in the high-elevation vineyards of Rioja Alavesa with Sierra de Toloño Rioja Tinto. Made with minimal intervention, this Tempranillo offers violets, red cherry, fresh strawberry, Mediterranean herbs, smooth tannins, and plenty of lively acidity.

Update!!! This Thursday’s tasting brings together three summer w**es that take very different approaches to the season.

First up is Mar de Frades Brut Nature, the first traditional-method sparkling w**e made entirely from Albariño. Bone-dry, crisp, and electric, it brings the coastal character of Rías Baixas to the glass.

Next, we’ll pour Coquerel Family’s Walnut Wash Vineyard Rosé. Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, this deeper-hued Napa rosé is expressive, structured, and especially suited to red w**e drinkers.

We’ll finish with Olga Raffault, Chinon "La Fraich" 100 % Cabernet Franc vinified in stainless. It's vibrant, showcasing floral and fruity notes of violet, black currant and raspberry. The result is light, fruity and youthful. A perfect summer red!

Join us at J9 this Thursday from 5 to 7 PM.
