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 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.

Domaine de l’Aigle 2023 Chardonnay Limoux
Located in the foothills of Pyrenees, close to Limoux, Gerard Bertrand owns vineyards of Chardonnay that have a climate similar to Burgundy. The wine is partially aged in oak for a lush palate but retains
flavors of green apple and fresh pear with a mineral laden finish. This wine also has the
Demeter biodynamic certification.

Domaine du Salvard 2024 Cheverny
This wine has been a Winds favorite for over twenty years. A blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Chardonnay, Cheverny offers a brisk, lively version of Sauvignon Blanc accented with the fleshier characteristics of Chardonnay. The Delaille family
has been making wine at Domaine du Salvard since 1898 and now the 5th generation of
Delaille’s are running the estate. In 1993 Cheverny achieved AOC status in the Loire.

Two Mountain 2024 Riesling Copeland Vineyard
We absolutely love the wines from Washington Winery, Two Mountain, and we loved them even more after our wine dinner with owner Matt Rawn. This is a dry Riesling and it pairs with just about any vegetable small plate. It’s full of crisp green apple and juicy, mouth watering pear fruit Thinking of Cod Chowder for dinner? Choose this wine. It is spectacular.

Château d’Estoublon 2024 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!

Clos de Gamot 2022 Cahors
Cahors has a reputation for being so tannic it can take the enamel off your teeth. This 100% French Malbec is more akin to Bordeaux than to its New World Argentine cousin. The vineyard is only about 25 hectares, a little less than 62 acres and
it all planted in Malbec. The same family has been making wine here for 300 years. These vineyards
were planted right after phylloxera in 1885 and some of those vines are still producing fruit! The
wine is pure dark, brambly, earthy fruit with judicious use of oak to soften tannins but still
have enough grip to stand up to our braised 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.

Alta Vita 2024 Cannanou di Sardegna
This is my “go to” comfort wine from Sardegna, the second largest Italian island behind Sicily.
The Cannanou grape is widely agreed to be Grenache, or a variant and is known for its
antioxidant qualities, perhaps one of the many reasons Sardegna is one of the world’s
blue zones. The wine is medium bodied with rich, plummy, dark fruit and pairs with just about any red wine dish on the menu.

Gota de Arena 2023 Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon Tempranillo
I don't think you can find a better Spanish wine value than this organic Tempranillo from
the Castilla y León. It’s dark, dark purple with brambly flavors of blackberry and
black currant along with a substantial amount of baking spice aromas in the
finish. There is a fair amount of oak aging here giving the wine a lush, soft
mouthfeel making it the perfect libation on a cozy winter’s night.
