Ve Ve Vinho Verde Rosé 2025
$14.99
We’ve had a bit of weather whiplash, but it seems spring is finally here to stay which means it’s time to crack open the rosé. For this tasting, we’ll be sampling one of our favorites, the Ve Ve Vinho Verde rose. Vinho Verde is so popular domestically, the USA, is now the #1 importer of these Portuguese wines. It’s aromatic and bursting with flavor with a soft effervescence.

Roman Candle, Pinot Noir 2022
$23.99
Roman Candle which comes from Oregon, a region which has developed a reputation for exceptional wines from the varietal. Winemaker John Grochau was introduced to wine in an unexpected way. Biking. In his early 20’s while racing bicycles for a French team, he biked through some of France’s most revered winemaking regions, including Champagne, Burgundy, and the Loire Valley. On his return to his hometown of Portland, Oregon, he went to work in the restaurant business and quickly discovered an even greater appreciation for wine, eventually leading to his own winery, Grochau Cellars. Roman Candle is a blend of premium sites from the Willamette Valley. While the color is lighter than typical pinot noir, it’s not short on flavor. The palette has notes of cherry, red berry, and a nicely balanced acidity. In addition, the wine has no added sulfites giving it a slight earthy funk. If you’re looking for a unique expression of Oregon pinot noir, this is your bottle.

Biurko, Rioja Joven 2024
$14.99
Spain has over 130 wine regions and is the world’s 3rd largest wine producing region. Despite the abundance of excellent wine produced throughout the country, Rioja continues to be the most popular region for consumers. And it’s not difficult to see why; Rioja was the first region to be awarded DO (Denominación de Origen) status and is one of only two regions upgraded to DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada), awarded to regions that adhere to high standards of quality during a long and sustained period of time. The bottle we’ll be sampling for this tasting is a Joven, a young wine not destined for aging. The wines typically see no oak and as the name implies, are meant to be drunk in their youth. It’s 100% tempranillo fermented and aged in stainless steel. It’s fresh & smooth displaying spicy fruit, earth, and soft tannin. For a satisfying everyday Rioja, it's sure to please.
