FREE tasting this Saturday - and every Saturday

This is the free and fun way to discover new wines. You get 10% off the wines that we taste when you buy them during the tasting.



Join us tomorrow Saturday, November 21, from 1-5pm, to taste Wines for Thanksgiving! We'll start of with a Grand Cru rose Champagne that should knock your socks off as well as those of any finicky guests. Then it's time for one of the best Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs we've tasted in some time -- if you like Oregon Pinot, you are going to love this one. Soon after we'll pour a wine we've all come to cherish simply as "Flavium," and you'll quickly realize why this is one of the best values in the store. We conclude with a powerhouse French-styled Malbec from Argentina that defines over-delivering! At least one of these will surely make it on your table next Thursday.
NV Louis de Sacy Brut Rose Grand Cru 
Sparkling; Champagne Blend; Champagne;
$45.00
Add to Cart
93 Points from Wine Spectator
Grand Cru, rose Champagne of this caliber often costs twice this much, but Sacy is a bit of a market aberration. Forget the economics; taste it, fall in love, and imagine this on your table, shared with family and friends. It's sure to impress!
2006 Roco Wines Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 
Red Wine; Pinot Noir; Willamette Valley;
$34.00
Add to Cart
92 Points from Wine Spectator
A true gem from a small producer, this limited production release is hard to find and even harder to beat! We have yet to encounter a Pinot lover who didn't admire this wine. Soft, silky and ruby red, yet full flavored and persistent. It's tough to have just one glass...
2005 Vinos de Arganza Bierzo Crianza Flavium 
Red Wine; other red varietal; Other Spain;
$10.50
Add to Cart
90 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
In Bierzo, in the northwest Spanish region of Galicia, Mencia reigns supreme as the red grape. Imagine, if you will, a cross of sorts between Pinot Noir and Syrah with soft, ripe fruit that's mature and elegant. The price? Laughable!
2007 Flechas de los Andes Gran Malbec Mendoza 
Red Wine; Malbec; Argentina;
$20.00
Add to Cart
92 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Limited in production and quite difficult to find, this show-stopper retails for $35+ when available. At today's price, you'll enjoy an almost ridiculous value in full-throttle, French inspired Malbec from Argentina that might leave you rather speechless.
