2024 Resolution: Drink More Champagne!

We all love Champagne here. Yes, it’s for celebrations, but it’s also an iconic, delicious WINE for any occasion. It goes with anything you want to eat and it just feels fancy. One of our resolutions is to DRINK MORE CHAMPAGNE, so we’re slashing prices on Champagne bottles on our list for all of 2024. As far as restaurants and bars go, the prices listed below are some of the best deals in town.

A Guide To “Farming Matters”

Our team does a lot of research to ensure every wine in our shop doesn’t use chemicals in the vineyard and follows at least one or more of these planet-friendly practices, which you can read about on our Farming Matters Page. Look for these letters next to all of our wines by the glass & bottle!
