Ken Wright Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir
$72.99
The seed for a career in wine was planted squarely in the Bourbon Whiskey country of Lexington, Kentucky. While waiting tables to put himself through school, Ken was exposed to fine wines from regions around the world. The passion became avocation when Ken left the Bluegrass State to attend enology and viticulture classes at UC Davis. Eight years were spent winemaking for Ventana Vineyards, Chalone and Talbott Vineyards in Monterey County on California’s central coast. Friends from the Willamette Valley piqued Ken’s interest in the region when they would visit, and a trip to the Dundee Hills in 1976 convinced him that this was where the finest Pinot noir in North America was being grown. Instrumental in organizing the six new American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in the Northern Willamette Valley that define in detail the distinct growing areas within the region, he wrote the proposition for the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and served as the association’s first President. He is a true pioneer in Oregon's wine industry, specializing in single vineyard wines that display unique characteristics, much as Pinot Noir does in Burgundy.
Cristom Eileen Pinot Noir
$159.99
Cristom Vineyards was established in 1992 to craft single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from distinctive, individual sites across their 240-acre estate. Today, those five single vineyards named for members of the founding Gerrie family—Eileen, Jessie, Louise, Marjorie, and Paul Gerrie—have earned an international reputation for their individuality, authenticity, consistency, and excellence. The Eileen vineyard is situated at their highest elevation on the original property rising to over 735 feet with commanding views of the Cascade Range to the east and the Coastal Range to the west. From where it sits at the crest of the Eola Hills, Eileen Vineyard may be the site at Cristom more defined by the cold, Pacific Ocean winds than any other vineyard we farm. Eileen Vineyard is distinctive with some of the most dramatic range of soil depths on the Cristom estate, fierce winds, high elevation, multiple expositions and the most diverse collection of Pinot Noir clonal selections of any of our estate vineyards.

Leitz Riesling Non Alc.
$18.99
The Leitz EINS-ZWEI-ZERO offers an appealing character with fresh notes of lime and citrus, accompanied by little hints of red apples on an underlying mineral base. The finish is slightly off-dry and relatively long. As we all know, like fat, alcohol is a transporter of flavor, and without it, there needs to be something else to carry those flavors. Residual sugar does the work for this stunning Riesling, though the sugar is nearly eaten up by acidity. It retains its wine-like aromas: fresh apples, orange and tarragon.
Leitz Rose Non Alc
$18.99
The Leitz EINS-ZWEI-ZERO ROSÉ shows fresh notes of pale strawberries, raspberry and citrus in the nose; slight hints of fresh grapefruit and an underlying mineral base. The finish is (almost) dry and relatively long. We made this Rosé from delicious base wines, which are blended to create a maximum of (sober) taste. Of course, an alcohol-free wine never will give the same depth, structure, and weight as a wine with alcohol, but this is extremely close to it and it is simply an alcohol-free wine tasting wine. Impressive.
Leitz Pinot Noir Non Alc
$18.99
The ZERO-POINT-FIVE Pinot Noir offers a very appealing, vinous character; that is clean and fresh. Fruity notes of red currants and cherries are surrounded by a nicely embedded tannin structure and an almost dry finish. Of course, an alcohol-free wine will never have the same depth, structure and mouthfeel as a wine with alcohol, but the ZP5 comes close and is simply a wine that tastes … Impressive!
