"If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Italy and opening your own agriturismo or small-town trattoria, you’ve probably imagined the wine you would serve at lunch alongside your saucy tagliatelle ai funghi or tender prosciutto crudo. You want something juicy, versatile, and joyous: a red with some good acidity to complement your simple home cooking and just enough tannic spine to stand up to the dishes on your table. It needs to be light and vibrant enough to leave you with postprandial energy. You just might not have known precisely which bottle from which region it would be. Well, here it is: a Piemontese red made mostly from Barbera and its supporting cast of Bonarda, Dolcetto, and Freisa, grown in sand and limestone soils around the picturesque hillside town of Cisterna d’Asti. In contrast to the exalted Baroli made to the south, Tenuta La Pergola specializes in the humbler side of Piedmont’s wine culture, which can be every bit as satisfying. The azienda’s Monferrato Rosso is the quintessential house wine, whether it’s my apartment in the Bay Area or your future casa in Italia. It is the red to always have on hand." - Kermit Lynch Wines

"For this over-delivering Beaujolais-Villages, Jean sources organic grapes from excellent parcels around his village of Villié-Morgon as well as Lancié, Saint-Amour, and Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, and ages the wine through an extended élevage more akin to that of his renowned Morgons than to other regional bottlings. Accordingly, the wine evolves slowly, becoming more poised and complete. Evoking pomegranate, rhubarb, and black tea, the result is a beautiful initiation to Jean’s house style, distinguished by a mesmerizing tension between depth, density, silkiness, and elegance." - Kermit Lynch Wines

Arc of Petals is an India Pale Ale built for the après scene, whether that’s in the parking lot at your favorite resort, or tucked away on a dirt road under your secret line. Designed with a layered malt bill and extensive hop additions of Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, and Citra, Arc of Petals is soft with notes of Orangina, fresh clementine and a hint of pine.

Those who’ve been with us since day one will remember this one. It was the first beer ever brewed on our 7bbl Forgeworks brewhouse and was part of our opening lineup in 2016. While we’ve always had a special place for this beer, it rarely saw the light of day these past 8 years. That is, until now. We are excited to announce that Tranquil Pils is our first and only year round lager. That’s right, we aim to keep this beauty available both in cans, and on draft. Hopped with a blend of American and German Noble Hops, Tranquil Pils shows subtle floral notes, a hint of spice, and a pleasant bitterness. Crisp, dry, clipped finish.
