Featured Wines of the Month

 Each month we highlight a new wine region or topic and curate four white and four red wines that best represent it.  These wines are featured in our Wine Station dispensers for tastings and are available for purchase by the bottle.  

July 2026 - Portugal

 Portugal is celebrated for its incredible diversity, boasting over 250 native grape varieties. The country’s wine landscape ranges from the steep terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley to the volcanic, ocean-sprayed islands of the Azores, offering world-class fortified wines, crisp whites, and bold reds. Famous globally for its fortified Port, it produces incredible dry table wines. The style emphasizes vibrant acidity, masterful blending, and exceptional value, with major regions defined by unique climates. 

We’re featuring wine from the Vinho Verde, Douro, Beira Interior, and Alentejo regions.
