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 delightful drink combining French cider, crème de cassis, and a dash of Calvados.

Selby Winery 2022 Chardonnay Russian River
One of our favorite winemakers is Susie Selby and this Chardonnay really rocks our world. All Russian River fruit
with flavors of fresh pear and citrus peel. The wine is fermented in French oak which lends a toasty elegance
while retaining minerality. Try it with the “Susie Snack”, a dish we paired it with at Susie’s last visit to the Cafe.

Van Duzer 2023 Pinot Gris
The wine is redolent of juicy fall red apple and lime
peel with a baking spice finish. All stainless steel fermented the wine is crisp and mineral laden without being too terse. A lovely pairing with almost any of our fall small plates.Van Duzer is a sustainable winery and contributes to many philanthropic causes
making it another winery I love to support.

Jasci 2024 Pecorino
Pecorino is a relatively new discovery for me and now I’m an evangelist! It’s a wine difficult to explain as it doesn’t taste like anything else. From Abruzzi, this grape dates back to Roman times. It is crisp and dry but also has elements of tropical fruit and earthier notes of matcha tea and sage. A really spectacular wine and organic as well!

Feudi San di Gregorio “San Greg” Campania Rosato
This rosato from Campania, one of Italy’s most compelling wine regions. It is full of bright, tart red
cherry and strawberry fruit with light floral elements
while retaining a dry citrusy finish.
Bottle 45. Quartino 17.75 Glass 12.
Casa Emma 2023 Chianti Classico
It is difficult to find Chianti that isn’t blended with Merlot these days. Don’t get me wrong, Merlot has its place, just not in Chianti. Casa Emma is an organic blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo, and 5% Malvasia Nera. The wine offers dark plummy fruit balanced by some tart pomegranate notes. Soft, velvety tannins make this a very affordable and drinkable Chianti Classico.

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.

Domaine de Fontsainte 2023 Corbieres
These wines from southwest France have caused quite a sensation these days. In the past, they typically have been bland, flat wines with This Kermit Lynch import, a blend of 60% Carignan, 30% Grenache, and 10% Syrah, stands out in Corbières for its rich profile. It offers an abundance of black fruit, leather, and rustic herb flavors, making it a distinctive and memorable choice.

Zorzal 2023 Cabernet Franc Terroir Unico Tupungato
Situated on the highest part of the Andes, this winery challenges traditional winemaking practices of the region. The winery operates both organically and sustainably, offering a version of Cabernet Franc that showcases lush black fruit and soft tannins, complemented by a balanced minerality. The grapes are harvested early to preserve freshness, carefully avoiding the green, herbaceous flavors often associated with the varietal. This wine is certain to become your favorite choice for Autumn imbibing.
