Fresh bottles just hit the racks, and the lineup this week is a total globe-trotter! 🌍🍷 Whether you’re craving an elegant French classic, a savory Northwest powerhouse, or the ultimate patio-sipper, we’ve got your glass covered.

Here is what we are uncorking:

🇫🇷 2022 Justin Girardin Santenay 'Vieilles Vignes': Pure Burgundy elegance. Sourced from 50-year-old vines, this is a smooth, silky Pinot Noir bursting with ripe raspberry, deep blackcurrant, and a gorgeous touch of earthy forest floor.

🌋 2022 Pášxa 'Rockgarden Estate' Syrah: Born in the legendary, rocky soils of the Oregon side of Walla Walla, this is a savory stunner. Expect wild blueberry, smoked plum, cracked black pepper, and that unmistakable, stony Rocks District umami.

☀️ 2025 The Walls 'Cruel Summer' Grenache Rosé: Don't let the name fool you—this is pure joy in a glass. High-energy and completely dry, it’s loaded with crisp white peach, pink grapefruit, and a mouthwatering splash of salty minerality.

The patio is ready, the bottles are chilled, and the corks are flying. Come find your new favorite bottle and jumpstart your week with us! 🥂✨

🌸 NEW GLASS POUR ALERT 🌸

Sancerre isn’t just for white wine lovers. Say hello to your new summer obsession: the 2024 Jean-Marie Reverdy 'La Villaudière' Sancerre Rosé, now open by the glass!

If you haven’t experienced 100% Pinot Noir from the chalky soils of Sancerre, you are in for a treat. This is sophisticated, bone-dry rosé at its absolute finest.

✨ In the glass: Think bright wild strawberries, white peach, and a laser-sharp mineral crunch. It’s incredibly crisp, beautifully textured, and finishes with that refreshing chalky mineral snap that makes Sancerre so legendary.

Whether you’re sitting inside out of the heat or cooling down after a long week, this is the exact bottle you want in your glass.

Come by, grab a seat, and let us pour you a splash. Cheers! 🥂✨

🍷 GLASS POUR SPOTLIGHT + NEW SUMMER HOURS! ☀️

Weekends on the Island just got better. Starting this week, we are extending our Friday and Saturday hours until 10 PM all summer long! Whether you need a late-night pour after dinner or want to stretch out the weekend vibes a little longer, we’ve got your table ready.

(And don't forget—we are still open every Sunday from 1 to 6 PM for your afternoon wind-down!)

To celebrate longer weekend nights, we are cracking open a heavy hitter for our Glass Pour Spotlight: Orin Swift’s 8 Years in the Desert 🏜️🍇

The Taste: A massive, plush blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Syrah. Expect an explosion of brambly blackberry pie, dark plum preserves, and a kick of chocolate-covered espresso bean, all wrapped up in a velvet-soft finish.

The Fun Fact: Winemaker Dave Phinney became famous for creating the legendary Zinfandel blend, The Prisoner. After selling it, a strict 8-year non-compete clause legally banned him from making Zinfandel. This exact bottle celebrates his official, rule-breaking return to the grape that started it all!

Swing by this weekend to taste a glass of this legendary blend and toast to summer nights that go a little bit longer. Cheers! 🥂✨
