The red Vernatsch grape is also known as Schiava which hails from the Alto-Adige region of northern Italy. The vines are trained in the old Pergola system at altitudes ranging from 400 to 450 meters in elevation. Vernatsch is an addictive, lightly hued red wine that works wonders with appetizers and fish alike. Fermented in stainless steel tanks then transferred to old wood barrels to settle for around 7 months before bottling. Serve slightly chilled.

Sacred Thirst
Lectores Pomagrana Magnum
Pomagrana is a fruity, light and fragrant wine. On the nose, the aromas of fresh red fruit stand out, with light flowery notes. In the mouth, it is easy to drink, very fresh and with a long finish.
Harvest is performed by hand. Once in the winery, the grapes are completely de-stemmed and macerated for around 15 days. After the pressing, the grapes ferment with native yeasts in stainless steel deposits. After the fermentation, the wine remains in the deposits on its fine lees for 4 months. It is bottled after a gentle filtering.
Winemaker Fredi Torres farms all of his vines organically with biodynamic principles and all of the winemaking is non-interventionist. The only thing ever added to the wines is a little sulfur at bottling. All ferments are with native yeast and there is no fining or filtering. The goal is to make wines with bright acidity, pure fruit and low alcohol.

Fermented on the native yeasts, followed by full malolactic by naturally occurring bacteria. Fermentation lasted for 8 days then pressed and racked in to vessels for aging. The Pinot Noir was tank aged while the Gamay was aged in neutral French barrels. After 4 months the wines were racked and blended together then put back down into barrel for an additional 3 months. A total Of 25 ppm so2 was added prior to bottling without filtration in keeping with our minimalist (lo-fi) philosophy.

Marcel Lapierre Morgon
Nobody’s wines taste like Marcel Lapierre’s. He is the source of a whole new school of winemaking, turning the hands of time back to wine the way Mother Nature envisioned it. Tasting it can change the way you taste wine. These wines are the essence of Morgon: bright, fleshy fruit with a palatable joie de vivre that was undoubtedly inherited from their creator. Mathieu Lapierre follows in his famous father’s footsteps to create one of the greatest cru Beaujolais in all of France. It’s more than delicious; it’s liquid joy.
"Lapierre's 2020 Morgon offers up aromas of plummy fruit and raspberries mingled with hints of petals and spices. Medium-bodied, satiny and enveloping, its succulent core of fruit is framed by melting tannins and mouthwatering acids. This thirst-quenching, fruit-driven Morgon is one of the purest, most precise young wines I've tasted from this address in recent years." 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Newfound Wines Carignane
100% Carignan
VINEYARD: The Colombini Vineyard is a mid-century planting that was installed by Charlie Barra in 1942. Still in production, the Carignane block, off Road I in the Redwood Valley, is a bench land site that contains a diverse mix of Pinole series soils – a well-drained gravely mixture of clay with sedimentary materials. The 10 acre planting has been farmed by the Colombini family since the 1970s and has contributed to everything from sacramental wine to vineyard designated bottlings. Darin Colombini (2nd Generation) is the guiding hand that tends to the vines each year.
WINEMAKING: The handling was gentle, performing no more than two punch downs per day. It was apparent from the beginning that this wine would be special given the juice’s neon-magenta/blackened appearance which provided visual evidence of the potential and forced a delicate hand. The fragrant fermentation lasted a total of 18 days.
AGING: Wine was laid to rest for 12 months in 2 demi-muids. Both vessels were then racked and combined just 3 days prior to bottling.

Subject to Change Tasty Waves Piquette
Method: The 2020 Tasty Waves Piquette is made by rehydrating the grape pomace (solids off of which the wine is pressed including skins and often stems) re-extract sugar, flavor and texture. The result is a very light and low-in-alcohol wine - think of it like the second steeping of tea - lighter but with many of the same flavors.
This one is like a fun, frothy Lambrusco-type beverage, with tart fruit and ripping acidity to cut through fat and salt -- which makes it a perfect companion for happy hour with a cheese/salumi board, or pizza, or taco night.

Subject to Change Wine Co. Sleepless Nights
Grapes: Grenache, Muscat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Marsanne, Viognier
The resulting wine is somewhere between a dark rosé and a light red. You get the floral aromatics from the Muscat, a little bit of spice from the Cab, and lush stone fruit from the Grenache. It's like Hi-C fruit punch on acid. It's ready for the party & ready for the izakaya. A Subject to Change signature. Serve chilled!
Method: We pick everything that’s ripe in two passes. Each pick represents between four and six varieties. The fruit was then foot-crushed, macerated whole-cluster for three to five days and then pressed to a tank. The juice was barreled down for fermentation and seven month elevage in a combination of neutral 225L barrels and 500L puncheons. The two lots were racked together for bottling. As always - unfined, unfiltered, no SO2.
ABV: 11.3%

Terres Dorées L'Ancien Vielles Vignes Beaujolais Magnum
100% Gamay. L'Ancien comes from Jean Paul's oldest vines--hence the name of the wine--in his home village of Charnay in the southern Beaujolais. They range in age from 40 to 60 years old and are planted on slopes sporting the area's signature sandy clay-limestone soils, featuring the particular local "dorée" or "golden" limestone that is laden with iron. These older vines have always been farmed organically and harvested by hand and yield small, thick-skinned Gamay berries. As for all Terres Dorées reds, the vinification is traditional Burgundian. The grapes are rigorously sorted and destemmed, crushed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats. The wine is aged in concrete until May-June after the vintage.

Teutonic Wine Company 2018 Red Blend
Tasting Notes: 80% Gewürztraminer and 20% Pinot Noir. We call this a chillable red wine. It's light, crisp with all the aromatics from the Gewurztraminer with nice high acid tones from the Pinot Noir. Very easy drinking wine.
Okay, I know what you're thinking. There's no way a blend of Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir follows the rules of nature...and you're right. But that's where Barnaby and Olga Tuttle operate, on the fringe, and we should be grateful.
It all started in 2002 when Teutonic winemaker, Barnaby Tuttle, was the wine buyer at Papa Haydn Restaurant in Portland. German wine importer, Ewald Moseler, showed him 14 different Rieslings from Germany’s famed Mosel wine region and Barnaby bought all 14 en route to starting one of the largest German wine lists in Portland. That same night, Barnaby told his wife and partner, Olga, that he needed to learn how to make wines as expressive to terroir as these Rieslings. Fast forward about 15 years, and Teutonic is on the forefront of winemaking in Oregon. With an affinity for colder sites, higher elevation, and dry-farmed vines that are ideally 30 years or older, Teutonic Wine Company produces roughly 6,000 cases of wine per year, all varieties that are typical to Germany’s Mosel region. These include Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chasselas, Gewürztraminer, Silvaner, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
