can’t wait to see you - we’re finishing up! 🫠👍

est. end of Oct 🥺/ early Nov

(The maps got a head start on us - so sorry if you stopped by! We’re… almost there)

wines — means all sorts of drinks. fairly sure we read that in a poem once.

questions? do email us — we reply, untroubled. yet, we reckon we’ve gotta put you behind the ones visiting us on site. we ditched the phone line just to make sure of it. and we need sleep

featured wines — sampling, we mean

tastings are fair game anytime we're open! as long as we're not being pulled in five directions for beer, sake, cocktail tips, or a bit of accidental oversharing — ask away! you and us together might even turn it into a shared moment if everyone's game.

(demo) lineup, until we run out and swap in something new and fits — updating in real time

max 3 samples per person per day. its the law… and the fragile $math behind it all.

we like to keep our part of the equation light-bodied from the start (because we hope to see you again), so our discounts stay modest and honest — a humble thank-you for picking a few, and extra cheers to you for venturing something new*.

*we say that, but we panic at new things more often than we’d admit. and we wish our vendors still love us.

here it is:

our quiet thanks

[for everything]

- 5% off - come back and show us the Google review you left!

(that is, a modest $5 off if you spend $100. a bribe, or just local hospitality — we’ll leave that one to you.)

- the pact - 1 point per purchase, $5 credit every 6

(no loyalty sworn. just a quiet promise to see each other again — and trade tales of other lovely places, too.)

[for things that are $15+]

- 5% off - when you pick 3 different ones

- 10% off - when you grab 6 or more

all of the above applies in shop — until we finish the gymnastics of figuring out how to do this on pick-up orders

wine shops — ours one of those — are made for you to enjoy at home: with your loved ones, in your solitude, or among your spirits.
