The Greeks have been making wine for four thousand years, and the last thirty have been a full-blown revival of indigenous varieties, small family growers, and a mind-boggling diversity of wines. We're going on an odyssey through vineyards from the mainland to the islands, exploring salty Assyrtiko, flowery Moschofilero, savory Xinomavro, and more—MUCH more!

Unfamiliar names, unbeatable value, and a healthy dose of our Rocks & Acid nerdiness to tie it all together.

Sunday 15 November | 6PM

The Iberian Peninsula gets a lot of love at our shop, but Portugal is still overlooked as a country with incredible wines. Best-known for their fortified Port wines, Laura will be pulling out all the stops. Featuring the bold wines of Dão & Douro, the plush & approachable selections from Alentejo, and espumante options from along the Atlantic like Vinho Verde & Bairrada. "Reserva" your excitement—if you're lucky, we might even toss in a wine from the islands of Madeira or the Azores! Saúde!

Thursday 19 November | 4–7PM (drop in)

The passionate Italian lover who talks with their hands and smells like cherry tobacco. There’s a rustic edge and a little bit of tannin temper, but once they’re at a dinner table with a bowl of pasta, they’re everyone’s favorite.

Crush Tastings start at 4PM and go until 7PM. Allow yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to enjoy the full experience.

Sunday 22 November | 6PM

One town on top of a hill. One grape. Six very different wines.

We'll unpack what Brunello di Montalcino requires, including aging minimums and the Riserva classification, then cover what the rules can't dictate. From altitude and sun exposure to winemaker decisions and soil composition, this class will cover everything you need to understand the complexities of one of Italy's most famous DOCGs. This is serious Sangiovese, finally decoded.

Tuesday 1 December | 6PM

You know them, you love them: Bordeaux and Rioja have long been the classic examples of a big bold red. Learn the characteristic differences in profile and the shared history between these two regions in this head-to-head matchup of the world’s most prolific red wines.

Friday 4 December | 6PM

Two of the world's great luxuries were made for each other, and this class will show you exactly why. Join us for an evening with Champagne Bliard, a small organic grower tucked into the hillside village of Hautvillers. And of course, our Champagne classes are never complete without caviar pairings!

We'll taste through five luxe cuvées alongside bright and briny caviar, exploring how bubbles cut through fat, how salinity sharpens flavors, and why the classic pairing has held its ground for a century. Come with an appetite for the finer things in life, and we'll handle the rest.

Sunday 6 December | 6PM

Your neighborhood wine shop is turning 4, and you know what that means: it's party time!

Since we share a birthday week, we're partnering with our neighbors across the Village, Xolos Cantina Mexicana, who will be celebrating their second birthday a few days before. Join us for phenomenal wine, authentic Oaxacan cuisine, and a fiesta to remember!

Thursday 17 December | 4–7PM (drop in)

Tall, dark, brooding...and rich. Definitely orders the steak, along with the good bottle. Without looking at the price. Dark fruit, tannin, and CEO energy in a glass.

Crush Tastings start at 4PM and go until 7PM. Allow yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to enjoy the full experience.

Sat. 19 December | Sun. 20 December | Mon. 21 December 2-5PM

Sojourn into our Winter Wonderland to shop for last-minute stocking stuffers & tantalizing treats from our selection of rotating vendors—including friends & regulars you may even know from classes & events.

Every day we will have a handful of home-made refreshments & locally crafted provisions you may peruse, while enjoying a cup of glühwein or an amaro hot chocolate. The perfect reason to "excuse yourself" from family to do a little R&R while knocking off those last few items off your shopping list.

No ticket necessary. Holiday drinks available for purchase at register.

Two crash courses in one! Six wines, seven cheeses, one evening of hands-on learning.

On the wine side: how to taste, what acid and tannin actually mean, and how to develop the vocabulary to describe what you like. On the cheese side: how milk becomes very different things: fresh, salty, tangy, and funky! Then, we put them together and show you how wine and cheese can create harmony and how to avoid a bad match.

NOTE: We are not able to accommodate dietary restrictions for this event.

Because not all vineyards are created equal.

Explore the crème de la crème of vineyard sites making the best wines. Get a firsthand account of some of the most special grape-growing locations across France—spots that feel as though they were put on this Earth for the sole purpose of wine. Discover the importance of terroir as we look at the most exquisite examples of the "hand of the land" in this star-studded class. You'll get to taste French wines many people only read about during their wine journey!

Three different regions with three of the biggest (and most famous!) wines Italy has to offer.

Amarone from the Veneto, made from grapes dried for months until they're concentrated and powerful.
Barolo from Piemonte, where Nebbiolo's heady aromas introduce wines that improve across decades.
Brunello from Tuscany, showcasing Sangiovese at its best: serious and structured.

We'll taste them side by side, along with Riservas of each, and talk about what distinguishes them: how each is made, how long to cellar them, and what to eat when you finally pop the cork.

Syrah has been working on her accents—and she's got a lot to show for it! This darling of the Northern Rhône has traveled a long way from her native, granite hillsides. From France and Italy, to Australia and Washington, we'll dive into as many different expressions as we can find, taste them side by side, and explore why subtle differences in climate and soil can create such vastly distinct wines.

How much of what's in your glass comes from the place, and how much is the person behind the wine?

This might be the oldest argument in wine, and while we surely can't settle it, we'll at least taste our way into a better opinion. We'll pour wines from the same vineyard made by different producers and discuss the many switches and dials at a winemaker's disposal that influence what happens to the grapes after harvest. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of what's in every bottle and why terroir isn't the only thing that matters in wine!

"In fair Verona, where we lay our scene." Like in Romeo & Juliet, families of this region have been feuding for generations to make the best selections for any palate. The tiny, but mighty, township of Verona is home to some of Italy's best known wines, made from grapes few can name. Delve into & taste through the wines -- from fresh Valpolicella, to juicy and concentrated Ripasso & Amarone, to rich Recioto!

We're turning the shop into a pop-up Italian bistro for the weekend, checkered tablecloths and all! Come celebrate love in all its forms this Valentine's Day weekend with Italian music, wine, and food. We don't care whether you're toasting your partner, your friends, or your own independence—we just want you to do it in style.

MENU WILL POSTED IN EARLY 2027

"Burgundy can make you glad just to be alive. No wine is better at interrupting a conversation, making the hair stand up on the back of your neck, or stroking your senses than great Burgundy." C.S. Lewis

From high-end classics to well-loved paysan wines, Burgundy is home to some of the most acclaimed grapes & styles that are pursued globally. Pinot Noir & Chardonnay are the region's King & Queen, but when else have you explored the other micro-regions within the delimited Burgundy territory? From Irancy to Passetoutgrains to Beaujolais, you'll have the opportunity to taste your way through the rainbow of grapes: Aligoté, Chardonnay, Gamay, Pinot Noir & friends.

Barolo gets the fame, the fortune, and the cellar space, but Nebbiolo has many outposts in northern Italy! We'll compare a benchmark Barolo to the vast array of other beautiful expressions of the same grape: Barbaresco, its perfumed neighbor. Roero from sandy riverbanks. Ghemme and Gattinara from the volcanic soils of Alto Piemonte. Valtellina, where the vines grow on terraces cut into the Alps. Each one has its unique twist on Italy's most famous grape, and we're here to help you find your favorite!
