Here’s What’s Included

Bollinger Special Cuvée Champagne

One of the great, historic Champagne houses — and yes, one James Bond personally approves of. A Pinot Noir–leaning blend that’s rich, fresh, and savory at the core. The kind of Champagne that makes any night feel like New Year’s Eve.

Clara C Rosé

If you know, you know. This is SE Portland’s best-selling bubbles and basically a holiday tradition at this point. We still haven’t met a single person who doesn’t like it.

Črnko Jareninčan

Our favorite Slovenian field blend for fridge-hanging and easy sipping. Bright citrus, lively acidity, and endlessly refreshing. Start the night with it or keep it around for casual hangs.

Tenuta I Fauri Baldovino Trebbiano

From Abruzzo with love. Pretty apple and white flower aromas, super friendly on the palate, and an absolute crowd-pleaser.

Anne Amie Pinot Gris

A versatile Oregon go-to. Citrus + pear + just enough body to hold up to all your holiday snacks. Priced so your only thought is “grab another.”

Ram Cellars Orange Fraîche

Skin-contact Riesling from right here in the PNW. Textured like a red, bright like a white. Melon, tart fruit, fine tannins and a great intro to natural wine for the curious folks at the party.

Pursued by Bear “Bear Cub”

Kyle MacLachlan (yes, that Kyle MacLachlan) brings us this Walla Walla red blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot, and Cab Franc. Dark cherry, chocolate, velvet tannins… it’s layered, lush, and absolutely giftable.

Les Capucins

A Syrah-dominant gem from the Languedoc that punches way above its price. Let it open up and you’ll get dark fruit, earth, tobacco, and plum. All under $20.

Clos Griotte Pinot Noir (2018)

Only the second vintage from Thibaud Mandet and a total knockout. Bright raspberry, blue fruit, perfumed aromatics — a fun bottle to show out-of-towners what Oregon Pinot can do.

Prunus Private Selection

A Portuguese red blend with a sleek mineral streak, plum, and anise. Smooth from start to finish.

Timothy Malone White Label Pinot Noir

One of the best quality Pinot Noirs in the state for the price, and from a longtime Oregon favorite. Perfect for parties, casual dinners, and cheering on the home team.

Bodegas San Valero Plano Alto

A Garnacha–Cariñena blend that seriously over-delivers. Plush mouthfeel, deep dark fruit, long finish — you’d never guess the price.
