Wine Down Thursday: Down the Danube
March 19, from 6 to 7:30pm
Sampler: $20/person

Join us this Thursday as we taste through three Austrian wines. From the steep, terraced vineyards of the Wachau to the cool, forest-lined hills of the Kamptal, these wines showcase the remarkable diversity of terroir found along the Danube. The lineup includes the crisp, mineral-driven 2023 Mathias Hirtzberger "Stab" Grüner Veltliner Steinfeder, the bright and refreshing 2024 Brunn Blauer Zweigelt Rosé, and the lively multi-vintage Nibiru "Oida!" red. Together, they illustrate the balance that defines Austrian winemaking and the cool continental climate that gives these wines their hallmark freshness, aromatic precision, and lively acidity.

Featured Wines;
2023 Mathias Hirtzberger Grüner Veltliner “Stab” Steinfeder
The 2023 Grüner Veltliner "Stab" Steinfeder from Weinhofmeisterei Mathias Hirtzberger reflects both the heritage of one of the Wachau's most respected wine families and the distinctive terroir of the Danube Valley. Mathias Hirtzberger, the youngest son of renowned Wachau vintner Franz Hirtzberger, established his own estate in 2014 in the village of Wösendorf, building on generations of viticultural tradition while developing a personal style. The Wachau is characterized by steep stone terraces and a complex mosaic of soils. The "Steinfeder" designation refers to the lightest category in the Wachau's traditional quality hierarchy, named after a delicate local grass that grows among the vines. The 2023 "Stab" is a light-bodied white that boasts a pale yellow-green hue hinting at its refreshing nature. On the nose, you'll find a delightful blend of crisp green apple and honeydew melon, accented by subtle hints of meadow herbs. The palate is lively and balanced, with juicy fruit flavors dancing alongside invigorating acidity.

2024 Brunn Blauer Zweigelt Rose
The 2024 Brunn Blauer Zweigelt Rosé is a York favorite. This wine comes from the small family-run Weingut Brunn, located in the village of Engabrunn in Kamptal just north of the Danube. The estate is run by Karl Steinschaden, whose family has been farming it for six generations. Karl emphasizes traditional methods such as hand harvesting, native fermentations, and aging in neutral vessels. Beneath the winery lies a historic subterranean cellar, and the estate even maintains a Renaissance-era basket press dating back to 1564 that originally belonged to the nearby Benedictine Göttweig Abbey. The Kamptal area is known for a mix of loess, gravelly deposits, and calcareous soils layered over ancient crystalline bedrock, contributing to its distinctive character. Made from Austria's signature red variety, Blauer Zweigelt, the 2024 rosé captures lively notes of wild strawberry, citrus, and herbs, framed by crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.

MV Nibiru Oida!
“Oida!” is a welcoming snapshot of what this estate has to offer. Made from 100% Zweigelt, this red blends fruit from the 2021 and 2022 vintages. The grapes are sourced from Hiesberg (25–30-year-old vines on rose quartz soils) and Steinleithen (65-year-old vines on mica schist), both farmed biodynamically. The winery was founded in 2015 by winemaker Josef Schenter and Julia Nather, who farm a small collection of vineyards around the village of Thürneustift, one of the coolest and northernmost parts of the Kamptal. Drawing on Josef’s family farming roots and their shared commitment to organic and biodynamic agriculture, the pair practice regenerative viticulture and encourage biodiversity in the vineyards. The vineyards sit around 400 meters above sea level on rocky terraces. “Oida!” is a medium- to light-bodied wine, super juicy with notes of brambly fruit and bright acidity throughout.

Wine Down Thursday: New School, Old Vines
March 12, from 6 to 7:30pm
Sampler: $20/person

When we think of California wine, we often think of modern technology and bold, fruit-forward styles. But beneath the surface lies a different story—one of "heritage" vineyards and a new generation of winemakers returning to old-world traditions. For this week’s Wine Down Thursday, we are exploring the intersection of history and innovation. We’ve selected three bottles from producers who prioritize "site over cellar," using old-vine fruit and minimal intervention to create wines with incredible tension and soul. If you’re looking to discover the "new" California through the lens of its oldest roots, this is the flight for you!

Featured Wines;
2018 Smith-Madrone Riesling
High atop the steep, volcanic slopes of Spring Mountain in Napa, the Smith brothers have been dry-farming their estate since 1971. This 2018 Riesling is a masterclass in mountain viticulture. Now with several years of bottle age, it has developed a stunning, sophisticated complexity. While it remains bone-dry and "electric" with lime-driven acidity, it is beginning to show those classic, sought-after notes of petrol and wet stone. It is a precise, high-altitude wine that proves Napa’s "old guard" can produce world-class, age-worthy Riesling.

2019 Fine Disregard Semillon
Semillon is one of California's great "heritage" grapes, though it is rarely seen as a standalone star today. Sourced from the Milhouse Vineyard (planted in the 1940s), this bottling from Fine Disregard is a love letter to these historic vines. Expect an intellectual, savory profile—think lemon curd, lanolin, and dried herbs. Unlike a zippy Sauvignon Blanc, this wine offers a unique, waxy texture and a fullness that coats the palate, held together by a firm, structural backbone.

2023 Haarmeyer Wine Cellars “Victor Weiser” Gemischter Satz
We’re finishing the flight with a true "new school" wildcard. A Gemischter Satz is a traditional Austrian-style field blend where multiple varieties (both red and white) are grown, harvested, and fermented together. Craig Haarmeyer is a leader in California’s minimalist movement, and this blend is nothing short of vibrant. It is salty, floral, and incredibly energetic. With a shimmering, mineral-driven finish, it’s a brilliant example of the experimental spirit currently thriving in the Sacramento Delta.

Wine Down Thursday: Let it Shine!
March 5, from 6 to 7:30pm
Sampler: $20/person

With the weather finally warming, it feels like the perfect moment to turn our attention to Spain and three sensational bottles that bridge the gap between winter comfort and spring brightness. This Thursday's lineup delivers generous, ripe fruit while remaining lifted, refreshing, and precise—each wine shaped by altitude, stony soils, and thoughtful winemaking rather than sheer power.
Our focus is on producers working in mountainous zones, where diurnal swings preserve acidity and detail. These are not heavy, extracted reds, but wines with mineral edges, savory nuance, and unmistakable Spanish warmth that stay nimble in the glass. Think of them as ideal "shoulder season" reds—structured enough for cooler evenings, yet vibrant enough to welcome the longer days ahead. Together, they offer a tour of contemporary Spanish terroir: pure fruit, tension, and clarity without excess weight. Join us in willing the warmth, one glass at a time.

Featured Wines;
2024 Guímaro Tinto
Pedro Rodríguez of Adegas Guímaro is a fifth‑generation grower in Ribeira Sacra, farming vertiginous slate and granite terraces by hand and championing almost-forgotten local grapes rather than chasing trend or score. “Guímaro” means “rebel” in Gallego, and his approach lives up to the name: low‑input, organic farming, native yeasts, whole‑cluster work, and aging in neutral vessels to let Mencía and site speak clearly. The 2024 Guímaro Tinto typically shows bright red and black berries, violet, and a faint herbal snap over a slate‑driven, mineral core, with medium body, vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and a salty, mouthwatering finish that feels both rustic and precise.

2022 Navaherreros Garnacha Tinta
Vinos de Madrid’s rise from rustic table wine to sommelier obsession is largely written in Garnacha. High-elevation granitic slopes, old bush vines, and a continental climate proved ideal for redefining the grape — away from heavy extraction and over-oaking, toward nuance, transparency, and tension. Producers like Bernabeleva drove this shift through a stubborn commitment to organics, low yields, and infusion-style extraction, treating Garnacha more like Pinot than Priorat. Their 2022 Navaherreros Garnacha Tinta shows why the region is now indispensable on serious lists: lifted red fruit, wild herbs, white pepper, and crushed granite, carried on silken tannins and bright acidity. A benchmark for precision, site expression, and modern Spanish Garnacha.

2023 Ona Priorat
Priorat doesn’t forgive shortcuts. Slate soils, brutal summers, and near-vertical llicorella terraces demand total commitment — and Blai Ferré Just gives it. A native son of the region, he fell in love with winemaking as a teenager working under Álvaro Palacios, went on to study viticulture and oenology, and at 22 purchased two small parcels to launch Billo. He’s been quietly overdelivering ever since. Don’t expect scale. Blai caps production at 7,000–8,000 bottles, farming everything himself on unforgiving terrain. The 2023 Ona — a blend of Garnatxa, Syrah, and Carinyena — delivers exactly what this appellation demands: intensity, structure, and hard-won balance. In Priorat, there’s no other way.

Wine Down Thursday: A River Runs Through It
February 26, from 6 to 7:30pm
Sampler: $20/person

Join us this Thursday as we explore France’s longest river, the Loire, a region renowned for its remarkable diversity of wines. We’ll taste three classic expressions of Loire terroir, beginning with the limestone-rich soils of Saumur, where vibrant Chenin Blanc shows striking freshness and minerality. Next, we’ll enjoy an elegant Sancerre Rosé, highlighting the appellation’s signature crispness and finesse. Finally, we’ll conclude with a friendly Cabernet Franc from Chinon, offering supple red fruits, lively acidity, and the subtle herbal and mineral nuances that make Loire reds so captivating.

Featured Wines;
2023 Arnaud Lambert Midi Saumur Blanc
Arnaud Lambert has established himself as one of the Loire's most thoughtful producers — a winemaker and soil specialist whose organic and biodynamic work across Brézé and Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg has earned serious attention. The domaine farms around 40 hectares on tuffeau limestone, clay, and sand, and that geological mix is exactly what you taste in the glass: pronounced minerality, taut acidity, and a site-specificity that rewards attention. Lambert's philosophy is disciplined restraint — minimal cellar intervention paired with obsessive vineyard management — and his single-site bottlings, including the lieu-dit Midi, are where that approach pays off most clearly.

2024 Domaine Daulny Sancerre Rosé
Domaine Etienne Daulny is a small, family-run estate spanning roughly 15 hectares across fragmented plots in Verdigny and Chaudenay — two villages that sit at the heart of Sancerre's chalky, flint-laced terroir. While the appellation's reputation rests on Sauvignon Blanc, Daulny's 100% Pinot Noir rosé is a reminder that Sancerre's continental climate and limestone-rich soils are equally well-suited to producing Pinot of real precision and freshness. The 2024 vintage opens with wild strawberry, red currant, and a subtle floral lift, then moves onto a citrus-driven palate with bright acidity and a clean mineral thread that carries through to a focused finish. Light on its feet, but with enough structure to hold its own at the table.

2024 Plouzeau Chinon Rive Gauche Rouge
Marc Plouzeau represents another chapter in a multi-generation winemaking story rooted in Chinon, one of the Loire's most historically significant appellations for Cabernet Franc. Farming the left bank of the Vienne — a Loire tributary where clay-limestone, gravel, and flint soils shift meaningfully across short distances — Plouzeau has pursued full organic certification since taking over the estate in 1999, with a hands-off approach that lets those distinct soil types speak for themselves. The Rive Gauche Rouge is Chinon in a classic register: red currant, raspberry, and violet on the nose, followed by a fresh, supple palate with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a quiet peppery finish that's the Franc signature. It's the kind of wine that makes a strong case for Chinon as one of France's great undervalued reds — genuinely complex, but never overwrought.

Did someone say 50° weather?! Time to toast this teasing taste of spring with three extraordinary wines. Come along as we travel the country—from the misty hills of Oregon, to the “Hart” of Michigan, and finally to the golden slopes of the Sierra Foothills. This week’s lineup features the 2022 Shiba Wichern Auxerrois from Havlin Vineyard, 2024 Wine Pirati Mariana, and 2023 Frenchtown Farms Meadowlark. Each winemaker stays rooted in tradition while spinning their own bold, distinctive style—proof that innovation and craftsmanship make the perfect blend.

When most people think of Tuscany, they picture rolling golden hills, but for a winemaker, the region is a complex mosaic of rock, wind, and ancient history. This week for Wine Down Thursday, we are skipping the postcards and diving straight into the dirt. We’re exploring "Under Tuscan Sun"—a look at how this iconic landscape transforms the Sangiovese grape into vastly different expressions. From the gentle, clay-rich hills near Florence to the rugged, high-altitude mountains of the north and the sun-drenched slopes of the south, this tasting is about the grit behind the glamour. Join us as we celebrate the passion of the vigneron and the unique character of the Italian earth.

Wine Down Thursday: Old World Elegance

Thursday, February 5th 6-7:30pm

Sampler: $20

While many wines are celebrated for their bold, sunshine-filled intensity, there is a special kind of magic found in Old World Elegance. This style is all about subtlety, structure, and the quiet nuances of the vineyard. This week for Wine Down Thursday, we are celebrating wines that prioritize finesse and harmony. We’ve curated a flight that embodies the poise of classic European winemaking, featuring a sparkling Rosé from the heart of the Loire, a silky Pinot Nero from the foothills of the Italian Alps, and a laser-sharp Chenin Blanc from a collective of France’s most dedicated vignerons. Join us as we explore wines that feel like a perfectly tailored suit—bottles where the fruit, the acidity, and the earthy mineral notes are in seamless, graceful balance.

NV M.Bonnamy Crémant de Loire Brut Rosé

Nothing captures a sense of occasion quite like the fine, persistent bubbles of a traditional method Crémant. Produced in the Loire Valley, this 100% Cabernet Franc Rosé is a masterclass in texture. It pours a delicate salmon pink and offers a bouquet of wild strawberries, red currants, and a hint of toasted brioche. On the palate, it is crisp and dry, with a creamy mousse that feels luxurious without being heavy. It’s the perfect polished sparkler to kick off any evening.

2024 Les Athlètes du Vin Chenin

The Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy has been a sanctuary for Pinot Nero since the mid-1800s, and Tenuta Mazzolino is one of its most historic custodians. The "Terrazze" refers to the steep, sun-drenched slopes that rise up to 300 meters above sea level. This elevation is critical; the cool alpine breezes at night preserve the grape's delicate acidity, while the clay-limestone soils provide a refined structure. The result is a wine that captures the bright, lifted side of the variety, showing notes of sour cherry and rose petals with a stony minerality that only comes from high-altitude viticulture.

2024 Tenuta Mazzolino Terrazze Pinot Nero

The Loire Valley is the spiritual home of Chenin Blanc, and this bottling from a collective of top-tier growers is pure, unadulterated class. "The Athletes of Wine" focus on movement and energy in their fermentations. This Chenin is bone-dry and vibrant, featuring notes of bruised apple, honeysuckle, and the grape’s signature wooly minerality. It possesses a beautiful "cut" and clarity, showcasing the poise and longevity that make Loire Valley whites some of the most respected in the world.

Wine Down Thursday: Zesty, Lively Whites
Thursday, January 29, from 6 to 7:30 PM
Sampler: $20 per person

When we talk about wines as being "refreshing," we're really talking about one thing: Acidity! Often called the "backbone" of wine, acidity is what brings a wine to life—giving it energy, vibrancy, and that mouth-watering appeal. For our Wine Down Thursday, we're leaning into the brightness with three wines that define the "high acid" style. We've selected bottles from three different regions: Austria's Wachau Valley, France's Loire Valley, and our very own backyard—Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula—to showcase how cool climates and specific soils can turn a white wine into a high-tension work of art. If you love wine that "zings" and leaves the palate feeling brand new, this is the tasting for you!

Featured Wines:
2022 Tegernseerhof Dürnstein Riesling Federspiel
Martin Mittelbach is a fifth-generation winegrower at Tegernseerhof, a winery which dates back to 1176. Grown on steep, stony river terraces, this wine is bone-dry and laser-focused. You'll find intense aromas of lime zest, white peach, and wet slate. The acidity here is crystalline and precise, providing a "nervy" energy that carries a long, saline finish. It's a sophisticated, intellectual white that perfectly captures the cool-climate power of Austrian Riesling.

2023 Domaine de L’Estang Coteaux du Giennois
If you love Sancerre, this should be your new favorite "secret" bottle. Located just north of Sancerre in the Loire Valley, the Coteaux du Giennois produces Sauvignon Blanc with incredible character and value. Bertrand Graillot uses organic farming and flinty soils to create a wine that is zesty and herbal, but with a surprising weight from extended time on the lees. Expect bright grapefruit and gooseberry notes backed by a distinct "gunflint" minerality and a punchy, refreshing finish.

2024 Stranger Wine Company Pinot Blanc
Local talent alert! Stranger Wine Company is producing some of the most exciting minimal-intervention wines in Michigan right now. This Pinot Blanc is sourced from the 1-acre Prairie School Vineyard, one of the best sites for Pinot Blanc in the state. While Pinot Blanc is known to be "softer," the 2024 retains beautiful, humming acidity thanks to the cool breezes of the Grand Traverse Bay. Fresh and bright on the nose, while the palate is rich and dry, it's the best of both worlds. A wonderful wine that demonstrates Michigan's ability to produce truly world-class wines.

Wine Down Thursday: Rediscovering Spain
Thursday, January 15, from 6 to 7:30 PM
Sampler: $20 per person

Spain is world-renowned for barrel-aged Tempranillo and Cava, but a quiet revolution is unfolding in the country's hidden corners. For our Wine Down Thursday, we're rediscovering Spain—through ancient vines reclaimed from obscurity, vineyards planted at breathtaking elevations untouched by modern convention, and winemakers who favor patience over intervention. From the northwestern plateaus of León near the Asturian mountains to the sun-drenched Mediterranean shores of Mallorca and the high-altitude slopes of Rioja Alta between 1,300 and 2,000 feet, these three bottles offer a masterclass in Spanish terroir and innovation. Join us and discover why these are the wines our staff can't stop pouring.

Featured Wines:
2024 Pardevalles Albarín
Pardevalles is known for reviving rare native grapes, especially Prieto Picudo and Albarín Blanco in Tierra de León. Albarín Blanco, an indigenous white from León, had almost disappeared before the estate committed to replanting and championing it over the past two decades. Today, Pardevalles farms significant holdings on high‑altitude, rocky alluvial soils between roughly 2,500 and 2,700 feet, which contribute to the wine’s freshness and tension. The 2024 Albarín offers lifted aromatics of lime zest, starfruit, yellow apple, and elderflower, layered with herbal notes and a subtle leesy, toasty nuance, while the palate is dry, with an earthy mineral streak that drives a long, precise finish

2024 Mesquida Mora Sincronia Negre
Bàrbara Mesquida Mora practices regenerative agriculture, interplanting her vineyards with fruit trees, medicinal plants, and cover crops. In 2007, she earned one of Spain's first Demeter biodynamic certifications. Founded in 2002 on a historic estate inherited from her mother, Bàrbara’s vineyards form a "mosaic" of varieties. For her Sincronía Negre, she masterfully blends native Mallorcan grapes—Callet, Fogoneu, and Mantonegro—with Syrah, Merlot, and Pinot Noir to craft an elegant, energetic wine showing fresh red fruit, wet earth, subtle gaminess, and Mediterranean herbs.

2023 Berta Valgañón Maturana Tinta
Berta Valgañón is a rising star in Rioja Alta, crafting wines from organic and regenerative estate vineyards, some with vines over 100 years old planted by her great-grandparents. This wine is 100% Maturana Tinta, a rare native variety with historic roots in Rioja that nearly vanished after the 19th-century phylloxera epidemic. Its revival gained momentum around 2007, driven by its talent for retaining fresh acidity amid rising temperatures. Berta ferments in concrete to preserve purity and vibrancy. Elegant tannins and bright acidity define this sophisticated, terroir-driven red, revealing a modern facet of Rioja.

Each wine tells a story of centuries-old craftsmanship, rugged landscapes, and unbroken tradition. This tasting is an invitation to discover wines that are both timeless and thrillingly contemporary—authentic expressions from the world’s first winemaking culture.
