Drink Different!
Regular customers know that we like bringing unusual, hand-picked yet approachable wines to our shelves. We look for wines that are of intrinsically high quality irrespective of the price point – with all of our selections we like to say 'Drink Different!'
The truth is in the glass – just taste them and discover thrillingly distinctive and enjoyable wines. Our goal is to look just a little bit harder for wines that are off the beaten track and which offer both good value for money and unqualified.....Yummyness.
Most of the wine we offer comes from family owned vineyards.
People that work in the fields, harvest the grapes and make the wine authentically - no tricks, no manipulation, the same methods that generations before them have used to make something special. These wines are not mass produced, they do not come from modern factories - they come from the heart, with equal amounts of pride and accountability for whats in the bottle.
Take a look the next time you visit our store.
Start your weekend here - a little wine, a little cheese, and maybe a surprise or two.

DR FRANK GEWURZTRAMINER
Finger Lakes - New York
Dr. Konstantin Frank ignited the “Vinifera Revolution” a movement that forever changed the course of wine growing in the Finger Lakes and the United States. Dr. Frank’s vision, knowledge and determination are credited with elevating the New York wine industry from a state of happy mediocrity to a level that today commands world attention.
This is a delicious, zesty wine with complex mineral overtones and a long, clean, fresh finish with notes of ripe pineapple and green apple.
These old vine vineyards are among the oldest in the United States. While they produce fewer grapes, the quality of the fruit results in more complex wines.
100% Gewürztraminer from Keuka Lake and Seneca Lake estate vineyards.
Please try it this Friday night.

Planeta La Segreta Bianca
‘It is a new way of thinking about the journey through Sicily; after Menfi, Vittoria, then Noto, then Etna, then Milazzo. Not a random route, but one strongly linked to the variety of countryside, to the winds, to the character of the people and thus of their wine…’ - Diego Planeta
La Segreta takes its name from the woods which surround our vineyard at Ulmo. This young fresh wine principally produced from Grecanico grapes gains personality and style with the addition of some international variety grapes.
All grapes are cultivated in the vineyards owned by Planeta. La Segreta is the perfect approach to Sicilian wine, guaranteed by the Planeta family’s patient input, from vine to wine.
A tremendous food wine and something you should be drinking now. Please try it this Friday.

In 1849 Manuel Maria Gonzalez created his own brand Tio Pepe, the first registered trade mark in Spain. In 1835, a young man called Manuel María González Angel arrived in Jerez, intent on making a name for himself in the thriving and lucrative sherry business. Encouraged by the consistent growth in exports, that same year he purchased a small winery and began to produce and export his own wines. This was the start of Bodegas Tío Pepe - Today, Bodegas Tío Pepe is known around the world as one of the leading producers of sherry and Brandy de Jerez.
Join Us for Tapas, History and a portfolio tasting of the most awarded Sherry producer in the world.

Drinks Well Anywhere!
This crisp sparkling white is sunshine in a can. The lively green papaya, jasmine, and lemon lime zest signal refreshment. The majority of fruit for this wine comes from coastal Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Albariño, with small touches of Grüner Veltliner and Pinot Gris to focus the palate. Pleasingly graceful with its playful acidity and balance, this wine is delightful to drink and turns heads with its style. Absolutely perfect for any on the go occasion. Football games, camping - this is the best in cans so far!
Please try it this Friday Night.
