WINES OF THE WEEK WINE FOR THE FEAST! Foxglove Zinfandel 2015Offering up pretty aromas of strawberries, blackberries, and spice, the 2015 Zinfandel is medium-bodied, supple and velvety, with melting tannins and a juicy core of fruit.

WINES OF THE WEEK WINE FOR THE FEAST! Dry Creek Chenin Blanc 2017A crisp and refreshing dry Chenin Blanc perfectly represents our love for this classic grape variety.

WINES OF THE WEEK WINE FOR THE FEAST! Teutonic Wine Co. Rauchwein 2017 This fruit for this Riesling came from Pear Blossom Vineyard in the Columbia Gorge (WA). It was slightly exposed to some summer fires and picked up some of those features. We felt this was an attribute and embraced the cigar box aromas and called it "Rauchwein" which means "Smoke Wine." You can pick it up faintly in the finish, like a touch of Mezcal. It's off-dry in style.$14.99King Estate Inscription Pinot Noir 2018This wine delivers with fresh red fruit flavors, like raspberry and ripe strawberry. There are definitive...
