Non-Alcoholic - J&H Selbach Funkelwurtz - $18
Mosel, Germany
This is Johannes Selbach’s answer to the non-alcoholic wine category – Funkelwürtz translates to “Spicy Sparkler” which is how Johannes told me that the wine tasted the first time he tried it. This is a slightly effervescent and aromatic wine from grapes grown in the Mosel. Johannes ferments the wine to around 30g/L of residual sugar. Johannes then sends the finished wine to a facility that uses membrane technology to remove the alcohol. This NA wine is refreshing, crisp, and very easy to drink while maintaining the complexity that the wines from Selbach are known for.
Rosé
2023 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé - $50
Provence, France
With Tempier rosé, all it takes is one sniff to be transported to Provence, conceiving a dreamy fantasy of sunshine and ice-cold pink wine. Suddenly we are in the shade of a massive umbrella pine tree at Domaine Tempier, refreshed by a soothing breeze and generous sips of rosé.
Sparkling
Aubry 1er Cru Brut - $50
Champagne, France
The NV Brut is gracious, elegant and so charming, as these Champagnes are. Gentle hints of orchard fruit, spice, dried flowers and mint are nicely lifted in this ethereal entry-level offering. Blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier, Arbanne, Petit Meslier, and Fromenteau.
White
2023 Salem Wine Co. Chardonnay - $23
Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon
A clean, bright nose that speaks to the lesser-known mineral and floral side of Chardonnay with Anjou pear, wet stone, Parmesan rind, and white flowers. Snappy clover and fresh, green fruit of honeydew and pear on the palate. The second wine to Evening Lands from Seven Spring Vineyards.

Red
2022 Comtesse Marion Cabernet - $13
