Ken Wright Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir
$72.99
The seed for a career in wine was planted squarely in the Bourbon Whiskey country of Lexington, Kentucky. While waiting tables to put himself through school, Ken was exposed to fine wines from regions around the world. The passion became avocation when Ken left the Bluegrass State to attend enology and viticulture classes at UC Davis. Eight years were spent winemaking for Ventana Vineyards, Chalone and Talbott Vineyards in Monterey County on California’s central coast. Friends from the Willamette Valley piqued Ken’s interest in the region when they would visit, and a trip to the Dundee Hills in 1976 convinced him that this was where the finest Pinot noir in North America was being grown. Instrumental in organizing the six new American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in the Northern Willamette Valley that define in detail the distinct growing areas within the region, he wrote the proposition for the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and served as the association’s first President. He is a true pioneer in Oregon's wine industry, specializing in single vineyard wines that display unique characteristics, much as Pinot Noir does in Burgundy.

Durigutti Compuertas 5 Suelos
$35.99
After a precise soil composition study was completed, 5 wines were defined resulting from the 5 different soil profiles. Each wine is made in separate concrete eggs and then a final blend is determined. Using over 100-year-old vines helps to make this wine as delicious as it is. Lighter in style than your typical Malbec but still full of flavour and complexity.
In 2007 the brothers purchased their first 5 hectares of old vine Malbec vineyards. The original vineyard dates back to 1914. Over time they have built up to 25 hectares in total. With this dedication, they aspire to develop, along with other local producers who maintain their vineyards with pride, the stewardship to offset the encroaching urbanization.
Garmon Tempranillo
$99.99
The Garmón Continental winery was established in 2014 by Mariano Garcia and his sons Alberto and Eduardo in the village of Olivares de Duero, barely 12 miles from Bodegas Mauro. With Garmón, the García family is committed to ancestral viticulture of small-scale, old, sparsely-grown vineyards and native clones, located in the higher, cooler and continental Duero areas with a longer ripening and later harvesting cycle. These factors condition the idiosyncrasy of an elegant and juicy red, of imposing and refined fruit expression.
Poplar Grove Rose
$28.99
This fresh and lively Rosé is made entirely with Pinot Noir. The wine has loads of ripe berry fruit which is balanced with bright and vibrant acidity making this dry wine the perfect pairing to turkey or salmon.
