Summer is officially here we are here for it! This week our Wine Buyer Bobby Vance is pouring their personal staff picks, a handpicked lineup of warm-weather favorites built for cookouts, boat days, and whatever holiday fun you’ve got planned. Join us June 24th, 6-7:30pm, and let’s sip some summer wine. 🏖️

The selections will be a surprise, but you can definitely expect icy-cold wines that were basically born in a swimsuit, and reds that know how to behave at a barbecue. These are bottles Bobby reaches for when the heat turns up and they need the perfect wine. Your summer fun-day lineup sound starts here!

Free and Fabulous Since 2016!

Wednesday June 17th, 6:00-7:30pm - Summer in a glass, four ways. 🌈 Joel Jaye from Eagle Eye Brands has been a longtime friend and collaborator, and tomorrow he’s back at the tasting table leading us through four California natural wines we genuinely adore. Two come from Chris Brockway at Broc Cellars in Berkeley, two from Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace at Outward Wines on the Central Coast, and we love what both of these teams are doing in the glass: bright, a little wild, made for exactly this kind of June evening.

On the table: Broc Cellars’ Love Rosé, a salmon-pink Valdiguié and Carignan blend that’s foot-stomped and barely touched, all strawberry, watermelon, and a savory little snap of sea salt; their Love Red, a Carignan-Syrah-Valdiguié bistro red built to chill, loaded with blackberry, black cherry, and a crack of pink pepper; Outward Wines’ Montaña de Oro, a Chenin Blanc-led white blend from the with quince, honey blossom, and Meyer lemon bursting from the glass; and Outward’s Shell Creek Vineyard Valdiguié, a carbonic red bursting with macerated strawberry, rhubarb, and watermelon, the kind of wine made for a summer chill. Assemble your crew and we’ll see you there! 🍷🌞

It is HOT out there, Detroit, and we have exactly what you need. 🌞🥵 This Wednesday we’re pouring four absolute summer crushers with our pal Connor Stein from Imperial Beverage — the kind of cold, bright, lip-smacking wines that were basically invented for weather like this. Pull up a chair, point a fan at your face, and let us handle the rest.

We’re kicking things off with Domaine Saint-Lannes Côtes de Gascogne Blanc and Rosé — two criminally easy-drinking bottles from southwest France that are all citrus, stone fruit, and pure warm-weather joy. Then Viña Nora Albariño from Rías Baixas, briny and bright and basically an ocean breeze in a glass. 🌊 And saving the best surprise for last — Bodega de Forlong’s ‘Petit Forlong’, a Syrah blend from Andalucía that is brand new to the Michigan market and exactly the kind of scrappy, sun-drenched red that earns its place at a summer table. Two French, two Spanish, zero complaints. Wednesday June 10th, 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Summer is here and the wine is cold. 🍷✨

Wednesday June 3rd, 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Iberian Spring is in session. 🐟🧀🍷✨

Late spring is basically begging us to drink Spanish and Portugese wines, so this week we’re doing exactly that — two producers, two countries, four bottles, and our pal Michael Korn from Woodberry Wine here to guide us through all of it. 🌸🌿

Can Sumoi hails from the mountains of Catalunya, where Pepe Raventós farms indigenous varieties on 600-meter limestone slopes using biodynamic principles, and every bottle they make feels like a small act of defiance against boring wine. Quinta do Paral comes to us from the Alentejo in Portugal, where 40-year-old vines on granite and schist soils are farmed with sustainability at the center of everything they do.

We’re opening Can Sumoi’s ‘La Rosa’, a floral, mineral rosé built from Sumoll and Xarel-lo with that gorgeous raspberry-and-stone-fruit brightness — and their Garnatxa-Sumoll red, a perennial favorite here, which smells of boysenberries and dried flowers and has some of the most tissue-paper-fine tannins you’ll ever find in a natural red.

From Quinta do Paral, we have the Estate Branco, a fresh, citrus-driven white with lovely floral lift and a mineral backbone, and the Estate Tinto, a soft, spicy, red-fruit-forward Alentejo red that is genuinely just a pleasure to drink.

And what better to pair these Iberian wines than our Spanish and Portuguese tinned seafood options, as well as chorizo, Manchego, Drunken Goat cheese, and Marcona almonds to go along with it all.

There are winemakers you admire from a distance — and then there’s Bryan Ulbrich, the kind who has spent decades quietly proving what Michigan wine is truly capable of, and who you just want to sit across a table from and open bottles with. Tomorrow we finally get to do exactly that, when Bryan and Left Foot Charley’s Director of Sales Kristy McClellan join us at The Royce for an evening we’ve been looking forward to months! 🍷

Five wines, all of them worth your Wednesday: the new Blanc, a beautifully composed blend of Pinot Blanc from trusted LFC grower partners; the new Rouge, a Bordelais Clairet-style wine made from 100% Merlot — bright, chillable, and completely its own thing; the Old Mission Peninsula Blaufränkisch, which consistently ranks as one of Michigan’s best bottlings of Blau; the ‘Missing Spire’ Riesling, a perfectly balanced Mosel-inspired gem that offers refreshing acidity and a whisper of natural effervescence to balance the wine’s luscious sweetness; and a skin contact surprise we’re saving for the room. Some things you just have to show up for. Wednesday May 27th, 6:00 to 7:30 PM. ✨🍾
