Biggio Hamina Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley.

We try to resist being slaves to cookie-cutter varietal menus. Didn’t feel it suited our ethos to force ourselves to have to carry any varietal–but this light, juicy, perfectly earthy red found us through a teeny tiny distributor right here in rva, and it is ridonculously good. And well worth the price.

Domaine De La Bergerie La Cerisaie 2010, Loire Valley, France.

80% cab franc, 20% cab sauv blend. Bright fruitiness like pie wafting from a windowsill. This decidedly light blend has soft tannins and gentle acidity and really likes hanging out with ribs and beets.

Roagna Dolcetto, Barbaresco.

Gorgeous underappreciated piemontese varietal. Dolcetto is like the quiet friend who has wit and barb as the moment dictates, but shies from grandeur. Simple and brilliant. Evocative of berries smashed near a barn while farm hands tar a roof.

Field Recordings Fiction Red, California.

Andrew jones works the fields of many winemakers in california, often acquiring grapes for his own purposes on the side. Like a winemaking girl talk, he takes elements cultivated by other individuals and makes never-reproducible unfiltered wines with odd complexity and incredible heart. This one is a blend of seven grapes, with a backbone of tempranillo, malbec, and zinfandel.

Chatter Creek Nebbiolo, Washington.

This winery from the seattle area is totally focused on terroir, the way vineyard environs affect the final product of a wine. Produced following the rules of the often expensive barolos of italy. His yields are intentionally low, allowing him to painstakingly craft a new world wine that tastes other-worldly.

Memaloose Winery Idiot's Grace Riesling, Columbia Gorge.

Rare estate-produced wine from the beautiful columbia gorge. These guys do it all from grape to bottle and produce surprising lush wines, this one being a nod to alsace. Light residual sugar, perfectly balanced with acid to make this a great food wine!

Renegade Wine Co. Rose, Washington.

76% syrah, 20% mourvedre, 4% cinsault. Don’t be fooled by the pink hue, this is a serious rose with bright acidity. Great with food and warm summer days.

Chateau Du Coing De St Fiacre Muscadet, France.

From one of the oldest chateaus in the region, the property sits at the junction of the sevre and maine rivers and dates back to the 15th century. This wine has great minerality and spends extended time on lees. Really allows seafood and lighter fare to shine.

Claar Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, Washington.

A delightful clean crisp and bright wine made by salty navy dog bob whitlatch in the white bluffs ava. This vineyard is one of washington’s 50 greenest businesses.

Field Recordings Old Vines Chenin Blanc, California.

This unfiltered‏ chenin blanc is gorgeous! Great floral notes. Beautiful with food. The winemaker helps plant & maintain vineyards all over cali, and his wines are his “field recordings.” the staff favorite on the list and rarely available by the glass.

Tami Grillo, Sicily.

A delicate italian wine with a lush minerality from famed female winemaker arianna occhipinti. Pairs well with the run down.

Left Coast Cellars 2009 Truffle Hill Chardonnay, Willamette Valley.

On a hill in oregon, the good folk at left coast cellars plant their chardonnay grapes amongst hazelnut trees inoculated with black truffles. This wine is lilting, zesty, and tempered after spending 14 months in new french oak.

Occhipinti Sp68, Sicily.

The woman at the helm of this winery gets a lot of press for her impeccable natural winemaking methods. This wine is amazeballs: the ripe fruit, the light smoke. Not often you come across a wine that is truly memorable… 60% frappato, 40% nero d’avola.

Jefferson Vineyards Meritage 2009, Virginia.

Today we just think of thomas jefferson as a kind of colonial bill brasky, but back in the day he was a real dude with dreams of va producing some off the heezy wines. This luscious red is a blend of cab franc, merlot, and petit verdot. We feel you now, tj!

L. Mawby Green, Michigan.

M. Lawrence Talismon, Michigan.

Albemarle Ciderworks ‘Red Hill’ Dry Virginia Cider.

Man. How cool is virginia cider? If you are visiting rva, this is a must-try. Crisp and refreshing with tight carbonation and deep character.

Bereziatua ‘Apple Cider’ Basque Cider.

Basque ciders are the bretty beers or orange wines of the cider world. Refreshing funky, yeasty, with awesome carbonation and incredible depth of flavor—and great with food for displaying so much complexity.
