2025 Arca Nova Vinho Verde, Portugal – This traditional blend of Loureiro, Arinto, and Trajadura grapes is fruity and fresh with delightful notes of crisp green apple fruit. It finishes with light minerality and a spritzy fresh finish. $14.00

2025 Arca Nova Vinho Verde Rosé, Portugal – This blend of Espadeiro and Touriga Nacional grapes defines a modern Portuguese rosé. It offers delicate notes of crushed strawberries and red currants, brightened by generous hints of lime minerality, with a spritzy, fresh finish. $14.00

2024 Portland Wine Co. Mothershucker White, Oregon – Made from a creative blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc, this aromatic, dry white wine opens with floral aromas layered with citrus zest and crisp orchard fruit. The palate is textured and lively, coating the tongue with flavors of lemon, white peach, green apple, and subtle tropical fruit while maintaining energetic acidity and mineral tension. Great with fresh seafood, creamy cheese, and friends! $22.00

2022 Portland Wine Co. Marty Red, Rogue Valley, Oregon – Marty is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. Cab Franc notes of ripe, brambly red berry fruits are balanced with natural acidity, but it doesn’t shirk away from deep fruit and elegant tannins. It skews riper & bolder without sacrificing complexity and nuance. Great with grilled meat or pizza! $22.00
