Kopke:

Wines from the Crypt

Delve into one of the world’s oldest wineries…

There are wineries that have lasted centuries. These estates have been loved and sought-after for generations. Think of Saint Cosme in Gigondas, Schloss Gobelsburg in the Kamptal region of Austria, Karthäuserhof in the Mosel, Ricasoli and Antinori in Tuscany, and Kopke, the oldest Port House in the Douro or the world.

Kopke, founded in 1638, makes what might be the most vibrant and long-lived port wines available. They have been through adverse times in their nearly 400-year history, seeing dramatic shifts in the climate, swings in the popularity of their product, and the rise and fall of wars and dictators.

Chateau le Puy

Chateau le Puy is a Merlot whisperer. From the high plateau where also sits Saint Emilion and Pomerol is this noble estate. The clay, silex, and limestone of their soils as well as the unusually high elevation for Bordeaux results in elegant and restrained Merlot-based epics. We love the lighter-than-typical body and balancing acidity, making this wine perfect for lighter fare and long, coastal sunsets.

Burklin Wolf on Sale Now 10-26-25

“…this may well be the best and most consistent producer of great dry Riesling in the world.” –Joel Payne, Vinous

Dry Riesling Master

ON SALE NOW!

Few estates capture the depth and elegance of dry Riesling quite like Dr. Bürklin-Wolf. Nestled in the sun-soaked hills of the Pfalz, this historic German winery has been perfecting the art of Riesling since 1597. Over four centuries later, the estate remains family-owned and proudly independent, now led by Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, who has turned it into one of the world’s benchmarks for terroir-driven, biodynamic wine.

The Bürklin-Wolf estate sits in Wachenheim, a village long prized for its gently sloping vineyards and warm, dry climate. That sunshine — more similar to Alsace than the cooler Mosel — gives their Rieslings a fuller body and riper fruit, while preserving the signature German precision and minerality.

Evesham Wood & Haden Fig

After studying wine in Germany, the late Russ Raney founded the Evesham Wood winery in 1986. He took his inspiration from Burgundy and Alsace, planting Pinot Noir and aromatic white varieties. He was an inspiring figure in the Valley who influenced many folks in the industry.

After working with the founder and winemaker of Evesham Wood for several years, Erin Nuccio took over as winemaker and owner in 2010 while developing his own original label, Haden Fig. Under Erin’s stewardship, the already topnotch winery has continued to improve, showcasing the profound terroir of the land.

A Champagne Native Turned Walla Walla Whisperer

Stock Up & Save On:

Cayuse

If you find yourself in Eastern Oregon, you might be surprised to find one of the hottest cult winemakers of Walla Walla: Christophe Baron. This Champagnois-turned-Oregonian is the man behind some of Walla Walla Valley’s finest wines that are nearly impossible to source.

Though mostly associated with Washington state, a quirk in geography means the bottom smidge of this Valley is in Oregon. That smidge contains a subregion of the Valley: The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. And Baron more or less put it on the map.

His Walla Walla portfolio now includes Grenache, Syrah, Tempranillo, and more sourced from Oregon and Washington (don’t worry, we’re placing all his wines on sale).
