Wines

Pierre Delize Blanc de Blancs Brut

This lovely French sparkler has beautiful, soft bubbles and flavors of green apple and stone fruit. The wine is 100% Chardonnay from Burgundy and has the requisite biscuity, brioche finish. A mighty fine sparkling wine for the money.

Scarpetta Prosecco

We bring Prosecco out for any excuse to celebrate. It’s simpler than Champagne and infinitely better than 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 apple brandy..

Goldschmidt Vineyards 2024 Chardonnay
Singing Tree Russian River  

This is classic Russian River Chardonnay with an abundance of citrusy lemon curd fruit followed by lovely aroma of baked apples. A judicious amount of aging in French oak adds a little caramel in the finish along with a very satisfying creamy mouthfeel.

Kurtatsch 2021 Pinot Blanco

This lovely wine from Alta Adige in the Italian Alps is where Pinot Bianco is also known as Weissburgunder. With its proximity to Austria, most in this region also speak German. The wine is redolent of juicy, stone fruit with a brisk acidity and a subtle honeyed beeswax aroma.

Weingut Seehof 2024 Riesling Trocken

There are a handful of wines I evangelize for…Beaujolais, wines from Slovenia, Croatia and even
many of the wines produced in Michigan. Nothing is closer to my heart than Riesling and especially dry Riesling. This Riesling imported by Vom Boden, a new darling of the wine world, is super, super dry.
Full of lime zest and lemon grass flavors and a flinty minerality. If you are a Riesling hater, ask for a taste. I’m happy to change your mind.

Gérard Bertrand  2025 Cote des Roses Rosé

Since I’m optimistic about the amount of rosé I can sell during the cooler months, we have a menu that really signals pink wine. This little beauty captures the essence of the symbiotic relationship between food and wine.  Infused with perfumed, crushed fresh strawberries, followed by zingy lemon zest and a piercing minerality. The wine pairs perfectly with olive oil,
fresh herbs and garlic and maybe a nice long chat with friends.

Rioja Alta 2021 Viña Alberdi Rioja Reserva

With all the international styling of wine, it’s hard to tell what anything is varietally these days.
Although now housed in an ultra modern winery, the wines are very traditional. 100% Tempranillo from
 40 plus year old vines using only indigenous yeasts the wines have lengthy aging in American oak.
 Dark cherry fruit is followed by aromas of cinnamon and black pepper. The oak is subtle and well integrated.
This vintage has a Selección Especial, a designation last used for this wine in 2001 and reserved for exceptional vintages.

Franck Balthazar 2024 Côtes du Rhône

Let me start by saying, this is not your everyday Côtes du Rhône. A 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache organic blend is a finely crafted wine from one of the finest Cornas producers in the region, think Cornas in miniature. The wine is a lovely garnet color with
flavors of juicy raspberry and red currant. Herbal and floral aromas in the finish make this elegant red wine perfect with the
Provençal duck leg.

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.

Tenuta Giustini 2024 Vecchio Sogno
Negramaro Salento  

Once Autumn rolls around I switch from my house white wine or rosé to a red wine that pairs with just about anything I’m cooking. This is my new house wine, 100% Negramaro from Puglia. It’s brambly, blackberry fruit and spiciness, with soft tannins
makes this my “go to” for small plates, pasta or just when you want a little red wine comfort.
