The magical, dramatic Columbia Gorge region, straddling Washington and Oregon, is producing some of the most exciting and distinctive Pacific Northwest wines we've tasted. We're excited to host Steven Thompson, winemaker and founder of Analemma, on Thursday, March 13 at 6pm on the mezzanine for a class exploring this amazing part of the country.
Prioritizing regenerative and organic farming practices across its estate vineyards, Analemma Wines showcases the Columbia Valley’s vast climatic diversity with everything from Blanc de Noir sparklers (Steven trained in Champagne) to warm-climate Spanish varieties that rarely grow elsewhere in the U.S. We'll taste their delicious and critically acclaimed lineup and hear from Steven about what it's like to make wine in this stark and beautiful place.
Seating is very limited for this exclusive seminar. The cost of this seminar is $30 and a $20 credit at the store will be extended to each guest for a future purchase. We hope you can join us on Thursday, March 13 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this very special event.
Nozay, like any producer this focused on terroir, is fanatical about their farming (organic and biodynamic) and hands off in the winery (they ferment with native yeasts and without additives). They even experiment with terracotta vessels to try to find the best way to let the wines evolve fully into themselves.
Pierre Péters is one of Champagne’s most recognizable names, and one of its most famous Growers (Check out our handy guide to Grower Champagne). The estate is named after current proprietor Rodolphe Péters’ grandfather, and the family has been working vines in the Côte des Blancs’ best terroirs for nearly two centuries.
At its best, Chablis is about the most nakedly terroir-focused wine in France. And yet, mysteriously, it has remained the last reasonably-priced home of 1er and Grand Cru Burgundy. True, we’ve seen more and more of Chablis’ biggest names rise in price, but there are still great deals to be found — none of them more shocking than Dampt Frères' lineup of Grand Crus.
