2016 Avennia Valley Red Columbia Valley $49.99/$46.99/$42.29

New Item

“Merlot from old blocks at Boushey Vineyards make up 70% of this wine, with the rest Cabernet Franc from esteemed Champoux Vineyard. Fascinating aromas of ripe red raspberry, earth, green herbs, cigar box and flower are followed by ripe, hedonistic fruit flavors that show the warmth of the vintage. Coffee notes linger on the finish. Best after 2023. Cellar Selection.” - Patrick Sullivan, 96 points.

2017 Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast $64.99/$51.99/$46.79

New Vintage

“Beautiful dark berries with ripe strawberries and hints of decadence and richness. Some meat, too. Full-bodied, dense and rich with tight and linear tannins. Needs a year or two to soften. Better in 2022.” - James Suckling, 94 points

Field 41 APA – Bale Breaker Brewing Co., Yakima, WA

Tired of IPA’s, Sours and Porters? Try a nice transition to an APA (American Pale Ale). Listed at 4.5% ABV this dry-hopped beauty of an ale is full of flavor minus all the bitterness. Need the day off? Time to relax, sit back and hoist a pint of pure glee from the fields of Yakima, field number 41 to be exact. Scents of pine, pineapple, grapefruit and orange. Amazing smooth finish. Remember Yakima is the largest “Hop” stop in world!

Hop Cooler IPA – Ninkasi Brewing Co., Eugene, OR

Ducks, Huskies, can’t we all get along? Eugene has the answer! Hop Cooler by Ninkasi has everything to make you smile—a very crisp citrus IPA that does not dry the palate. Compelling citrus notes that balance well with the first sip. A delight to drink with an exceptional smooth finish. With spring fast approaching, this delectable delight is a must. Don’t be fooled by the 7.2% ABV just remember who your rooting for after the 1st one... This IPA comes highly recommended.

Overdub “Session” IPA – Fort George Brewing, Astoria, OR

One of my personal favorites! Fort George has created another delicious craft beer for us beer “geeks” Much to discuss with this IPA, fruit varieties galore. Grapefruit, Mango and Papaya, sounds like a fruit salad! Very impressive taste and mouthfeel. From beginning to end, this IPA smells of citrus, not to biter and no lingering dirt after taste. If you enjoy hops and aroma, this beer is for you. At 4.5% ABV, be sure to bring your DD as more than a couple is well worth the effort.

Worthy Brewing IPA – Worthy Brewing Co., Bend, OR

A well-balanced IPA with five different hop varieties. This beauty carries an ABV 6.9% that drinks smooth and feels creamy. Smells of grapefruit, orange rind, diner-bun-caramel malt and pleasant piney hops. Finishes very mild and dry. Highly recommended for all Northwest “hop-heads.”
