Naveran 2022 Brut Cava

I adore Cava. There’s just something about all those bubbles that just screams “PARTY”. This producer has been around since 1901, uses all estate fruit and is certified organic. A blend of Xarel-lo that adds body, Macabeo gives aromatic intensity and Parellada
lends acidity to the wine. If you love Cava as much as I do, this is one of the best so have a glass and celebrate, relax, appreciate, give thanks and remember to breathe.

Scarpetta Prosecco

We bring Prosecco out for any excuse to celebrate. It’s simpler than Champagne and infinitely better then most sparkling wines costing much more. There is “meh” Prosecco and there is beautifully dry and aromatic
Prosecco, this is the latter.

Aval French Cider

There are few beverages more refreshing than dry,
hard cider. This version from Brittany is both crisp and delicate, with lively dry fruit and a lovely mineral driven finish. Feeling adventurous? Try a Breton Kir, a lovely drink combining French cider, creme de cassis and
 a dash of Calvados.

Les Pierres Grises 2023 Saint-Véran

White Burgundy is always a favorite at the Cafe, but with increasing prices in recent years it’s not something we typically pour by the glass. Finding this delicious mineral laden Saint-Veran. 100% old vine Chardonnay, the wine
 is sustainably farmed, using indigenous yeast and is 80% stainless steel and 20% barrel fermented. What
does this mean for you as a guest? This is Spring in a glass! Flavors of crisp apple, green herbs and a
 hint of saline in the finish.

Loimer 2022 Grüner Veltliner Lois 

If you’ve never tasted Grüner Veltliner, this wine is a perfect place to start. Crisp green apple and citrus
fruit predominate with hints of peppery spice. An electrifying minerality makes this a great Spring wine, pairing well with soups, salads or seafood. The flavor profile reminds me of a cross between
Sauvignon Blanc and a very dry Riesling.

Cave des Vignerons de Tavel 2024 Lirac Blanc

I feel it is my vocation to introduce people to wines they would never think of buying. These hidden gems
have become some of the most popular wines at the Cafe and wine shop over the years. So here it
goes…Lirac Blanc. If you have heard of Lirac, it’s most likely red. This lovely wine is white and is a
blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc, not the most well know grape varietals. Again there is
a Spring vibe here with flavors of juicy peach, followed by juicy citrus zest. Although the region makes red,
 rosé and white wine, the Lirac Blanc only accounts for 3% of the wine produced, so again, you’re
 experiencing a bit of esoterica.

Château d’Estoublon 2023 Roseblood Rosé

A blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, 5% Rolle (Vermentino), Roseblood is

not a simple little quaffer, but rather a medium bodied, complex wine with flavors of tart cherry,
green herbs and floral notes.This is some delicious pink wine pleasure!

Tablas Creek 2022 Patelin de Tablas

If the name Château Beaucastel and Perrin family are familiar, they are one of two owners of this Paso Robles winery. The other being the Haas family, the owners of Vineyard Brands, a well know European importer of fine wines.Patelin is French slang for "neighborhood”,
as the grapes are sourced from a number of Paso Robles vineyards, most planted from the Tablas Creek nursery. The wine is primary Syrah with additions of Grenache, Mourvedre and Counoise
 aged in 1500-gallon French oak. The wine has is  medium bodied, full of dark fruit with silky tannins.

Field Recordings 2022 Pinot Noir Edna Valley

We are excited to team up with Andrew Jones of Field Recordings. This Edna Valley Pinot Noir is a fantastic pairing with Winds Cafe dishes. It’s elegant but bold with black cherry fruit, spicy pepper and a hint of wood smoke in the finish. We couldn’t be more excited and
pleased with this wine.

Union Sacré 2022 Cabernet Franc Dry Creek Valley

I love Cabernet Franc. I love it as a blending component in Bordeaux, I love it in Loire wines and
 I especially love it in this California incarnation. Union Sacré is the unlikely friendship between a
French winemaker and a graphic designer from Michigan who both ended up in the Central Coast.
The wine is full of tart pomegranate and juicy black plum with a peppery finish. It’s a
perfect red wine for the season.

Château Curton Le Perriere 2020 Bordeaux

This little gem of a Bordeaux has become my house red wine in the past few months. It’s a
 beautiful garnet color and pairs with just about
anything I throw in the oven. 100% Merlot, Curton fashions a wine with elegance and restraint with blackberry and black cherry fruit. Particularly lovely considering its price and that it’s shipped old school in six pack wooden crates. Buy a six
pack and the crate is yours!
