Featured White Wine

Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc/Viognier
Napa Valley, California

The Chenin Blanc - Viognier flaunts aromas of ruby grapefruit pear lychee and melon with a delicate touch of spicy white florals. Lively citrus and bright tropical fruit flavors are offered up alongside a supple texture. The slightly off-dry finish is clean and crisp perfect with many dishes or on its own as an aperitif. Enjoy now or cellar for two years. 

Featured Red Wine   

Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain Blend - Red Valley, Wasington
Dark purple in color with aromas of juicy ripe fruit of cherry, blackberry and cassis combined with clove & cocoa. The palate is concentrated with black cherry, cranberry, toast, licorice with hints of smoke, earth and caramel. A full, lush mouth-feel with plenty of structure & a long, slightly earthy finish.

Featured Sake   

Wandering Poet, Rihaku

This well-rounded sake with notes

of banana and very-ripe honeydew

aroma has clean, crisp acidity that highlights its light-to-medium body.

The lingering finish moves from juicy fruitiness to green, herbal notes

making it a great food companion.

Ultimate sake to pair with

wine-unfriendly vegetables.
