What We’re Drinking When We’re Off the Clock
The most honest wine recommendation you’ll ever get isn’t from a critic. It’s from the person who poured it for you all day and still opened it when they got home.
“The people on my floor know these wines better than almost anyone. They go home and open these bottles because they genuinely love them. Nobody told them to.”
— Nessia Flugger, Tasting Room Manager
2018 Stagecoach cabernet sauvignon
James’s Pick
“There are many meats that demand a nice wine. This is a wine that demands a nice cut of meat. I don’t bring it to just any dinner — I bring it when the table deserves it. The moment you open it, it sets the standard for the whole evening.”
For when the table deserves something special.
2022 coombsville cabernet sauvignon
Carrie’s Pick
“After a long day, the Coombsville is my wind-down wine — fruity, aromatic, soft enough to just enjoy. People hear ‘fruity Cab’ and assume it’s not serious. This one proves that wrong. It’s polished, drinkable, and really well done. That combination is harder to find than people think.”
For after a long day. No occasion needed.
2023 napa valley cabernet franc
Holden’s Pick
“The 2023 Cabernet Franc is my patio wine. Fruit forward, fun, and genuinely eclectic — there’s an energy to it I don’t get from a lot of other wines. You don’t need an occasion or a perfect pairing. Whenever, wherever — it just works every single time.”
For on the patio. Any day, any time.
Three bottles. Three people who mean every word.
Find the bottle that fits your moment — and have it ready before the next one arrives.
