  Tastings New Arrivals Wine Picks  


We admit we're a little spoiled here in the Wine Shop. We get to taste dozens of wines every week. Most are just so-so. Others, the rare few, make an impression strong enough to wedge their way onto our crowded shelves. More often than not, these select wines are from small, family producers - pure representations of the glorious fruit of their origin.
This section of the Wine Shop site is dedicated to shedding some light on these little gems. We hope you find a wine you like as much as we like these...



 Mark Ryan Winery

We are happy and duly proud to announce the return of Mark Ryan Wines to our shelves. Mark changed distributors recently and has returned to his roots - that is, he's driving around selling his high-scoring, hand crafted wines himself.

Mark is famous for his dense, rich reds and elegant, long-finishing whites. He is generous with even-toasted oak but let's the grapes' natural acidity come through. Balance and elegance are perfect descriptors for Mark Ryan wines. We hope you will agree.

On the shelf, currently:
Syrah Red Mountain Wild Eyed 2007
Lost Soul Syrah 2007
Water Witch Klipsun Vineyard Red Mountain 2007
Chardonnay Columbia Valley 2008
Viognier Columbia Valley 2008
