Our Wines
Grapes and regions. It’s as easy as that. Then add producers. And those pesky vintages. And the price of eggs in China. Ok, not so easy. But delicious!
At least we can try to make the searching for something as easy as possible. Type in any one term – country, region, grape, producer, vintage – and see what we have to offer.
Can’t find what you need? We’ll look for you. Just contact us and we’ll see if we can track it down.

Agricultura Alentejano 2010(Alentejano, Portugal)
torigua nacional 750ml
Phones can take pretty darn good photos. Whenever someone comes into
the store with a photo of their most recent discovery, I know I can
either find the bottle or usually find something from the same
neighborhood. Yet, despite having this fantastic tool at my finger-tips
I sometimes find myself a week later saying, "What was the bottle I
loved?" At the time I thought "Oh, I'll never forget this wine. It's a
beautiful example of X from Y bottled in Year Z by what's-his-name."
Alas, the details can slip. The bottle I'm drinking now -- Agricultura
-- is a red, fruit-forward Portuguese wine with nice light wrapping of
oak and a balancing tang of acidity. And it has a big black ant on its
label. So if you drink this wine and like it as much as I do, just ask
for "the wine with the ant". Do I need to say "Don't let the screw-cap
throw you?" No, I didn't think so. There are wines for all kinds of
occasions. I waited a few days until I had some friends over to eat
some steak, asparagus with hollandaise and rice pilaf. Yeah, I know I
could have found some quail eggs or truffle oil, but sometimes the
classics on a winter night just hit the spot and that's what this wine
does - it hits the spot. Simple doesn't have to mean dumbed down.
Simple can mean without difficulty, a pleasure that seamlessly blends
with a meal and a conversation yet adds flavor and moments of quiet
satisfaction. Ripe cherries and raspberries, tendrils of vanilla spice
- at this price, unforgettable: just ask for the wine with the ant.
