Monday March 12th: Merlot March Madness $35

Merlot got a bad rep after the movie "Sideways" but truth be told, there's some smoking hot Merlots out there that are being missed over because of a silly script. Try for yourself!

Monday, March 26th: A look at Benziger Family (not Beringer!) $35 plus tax

This small family owned winery has re-focused their mission from volume to doing a few things and doing them right. We applaud them for their changes because it's reflected in the glass. Their sustainable practices deserve a hand as well!
