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.
Trediberri, founded only in 2007, is one of the newest producers in the entire Barolo DOC. Yet their wines taste so utterly classical and traditional that you would never guess. The wines feel like they've been around for generations.
Domaine Michel Lafarge is one of Burgundy’s great names, a true superstar in the pantheon of the region’s best estates.
They make very traditional Volnays that last a long, long time, are very limited, and are very expensive. But they also make some less exalted wines, which we affectionately call their “baby” wines.
The first time we tasted Pierre Girardin’s wines, we were floored. They had that rare mix of taut structure, subtle reduction, and soaring energy, all wrapped in a texture that whispered top-tier white Burgundy. When we learned the winemaker behind them was still in his 20s, we were stunned. These were wines with the quiet confidence of a seasoned pro, not a newcomer still finding his voice.
