• 2022 Guardian Cellars Newsprint Columbia Valley $20  Newsprint is Guardian Cellars' 2nd label, many of the same vineyard sources and Jerry's amazing wine making, just at slightly lower price point. Newsprint Red is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with lesser amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot. This wine features ripe fruit with hints of vanilla and toasted oak on the nose. The palate is super juicy, full of ripe dark berry, black cherry, and plum jam flavors; these delicious fruits are complemented by a sprinkling of tannins aimed to give great structure to this wine.
• 2021 Borsao Tres Picos Spain $19 “This deeply hued wine offers a bouquet of cassis, black cherry, cedar, and toasty spice. Spice notes carry onto the palate and are joined by downy tannins that come bearing cherry, raspberry, milk chocolate, espresso, and violet. It is a true delight on the taste buds right down to the lengthy finish.” Best Buy

• 2022 La Quercia Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Italy $12 The nose is tart and earthy, with aromas of black cherry, blackberries, topsoil, root beer and fennel. The berries turn juicier on the palate against licorice candy, and tannins and acid bring a ferociousness that gives this wine a tense, lively overall feel.
• 2020 Kiona Columbia Valley Red blend $16 The 2020 Kiona Columbia Valley Red is celebrated for its balanced complexity and depth. Dark fruits such as blackberry, black cherry, and plum, accented by subtle hints of spice, cocoa, and a whisper of vanilla from gentle oak aging.

• Santiam Wine and Bistro-White Cheap & Cheerful January 2025 only $79.20
  
• 2023 Sohm & Kracher Grüner Veltliner Austria $18 One Liter bottle Screw Cap easy opening! With the introduction of this surprisingly sophisticated liter bottling Sohm & Kracher explore a third terroir for Grüner veltliner. While the Lion is sourced entirely from Weinviertel, the fruit for this bottling is grown entirely in Illmitz, opposite Lake Neusiedl from the Leithaberg hill where the soils are more sand. This stainless steel Grüner Veltliner is a mineral focused expression, incredibly easy to drink with austere depth.
• 2023 La Solitude White Cotes du Rhone, France $15. This wine is a blend of three varietals. The Clairette brings the freshness and zest of citrus, the Viognier the aromatic depth and roundness, and the Grenache the notes of white flowers. The grapes are harvested early in the morning and completely destemmed. The fermentation in stainless-steel vats preserves the full aromatic freshness. The wine has a nose of citrus and apricots, a round and generous mouthfeel, and a fresh and flavorful finish.
• 2023 Chateau Haut-Rian White Bordeaux, France$12. Old Sémillon vines grown on limestone soil form the background to this wine. With pineapple aromas and a mineral texture, the wine's fruit is full of grapefruit and kiwi flavors. It is crisp, ripe, and ready to drink ALC 13% 90 Points Wine Enthusiast!
• 2023 Domaine Pajot Les 4 Cépages France $12 screw cap easy! A perfect weeknight French white blend, with 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Colombard, 20% Ugni-Blanc, and 10% Gros-Manseng. Think of springtime and a light meal, or anytime and just a glass! Bone-dry with notes of pear, citrus, and green flavors. It has a lively, zesty acidity typical of the region's white wines. Farming: Organic Always a top pick for me.
• 2018 Storypoint Chardonnay California $16 "Luscious and silky, Storypoint Chardonnay amplifies the fruit-forward expression of the variety. The aroma opens with hints of ripe apple and honeysuckle while notes of white peach, Asian pear and ginger deliver a deliciously refreshing taste. With accents of vanilla and caramel, each glass is rich on the palate." ~Winemaker Notes
• 2023 Lady Hill Pinot Gris, Oregon $15 An aromatic procession of passionfruit and Meyer lemon embraces the delicate floral side of honeysuckle and white flowers. Bright flavors of citrus rind and white peach flavors with a crisp minerality. The mouthfeel indicates almost no malolactic conversion, displaying the crisp refreshing acidity of Granny Smith apples.
