Bottles We Love with Seafood
Jean-Marie Reverdy Sancerre
Loire Valley, FRA 2025 78 btl
100% Sauvignon Blanc panted in vineyards from 3 different terroirs – limestone, Kimmeridgian and Silex. White peach with fresh, minerally finish
Yura Gros Manseng/Petit Manseng Blend
Jurançon, FRA 2023 52 btl
salty like a coastal wine with a lightning bolt of acidity.
There is a stone-mineral aspect on the bone dry finish. One of the best white wine values we have found this year
Tranche Pape Blanc
Walla Walla Valley, WA 2022 62 btl
blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Clairette Blanche. Washington’s version of a Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc. Layered and complex with crisp acidity
Division Villages Gamay Noir
Oregon / WA 2025 54/btl
wonderful and rare example of Gamay from the pacific northwest. Lighter in body yet shows complex layers of
cherry, strawberry, pomegranate and violets
Saggi Sangiovese Blend
Columbia Valley, WA 2021 95/btl
62% Sangiovese with Cab and Syrah. Fig, blackberry, espresso and cocoa
