Wines from the Southern Hemisphere stand out due to their climate, geography, and winemaking traditions, offering bold flavors, high quality, and great value. Here’s what makes wines from Argentina, Chile, and South Africa unique:
Opposite Harvest Seasons ~ Since these regions are in the Southern Hemisphere,harvest happens around February–April, opposite to the Northern Hemisphere (September–October).
Higher Elevation & Maritime Influence ~ Many vineyards are at high altitudes or near coastal breezes, ensuring cool nights and slow ripening for better acidity and complexity. This helps create fresh, fruit-driven wines with good balance.

The wines of Loire Valley, Côtes du Rhône, Cahors, and Left Bank Bordeaux each have distinct characteristics due to their terroir, grape varieties, and winemaking traditions. Begin Saturday’s wine tour in the northwest region of France, the Loire Valley, a cool climate with moderate temperature famous for wines with high acidity, freshness and minerality. Then encircle the Rhone Valley to the southeast, a Mediterranean climate with mistral wind, perfect conditions to create warm, ripe fruit with lower acidity. Enjoy the product of the Cahors region, a Continental climate with warm days and cool nights to produce structured wines. Travel west again into the Left Bank of Bordeaux, a Maritime climate regulated by the Atlantic and the Gironde estuary with gravel soils offering good drainage and ripeness.

Old Westminster & Olema Wines
We are excited to spotlight the wines of Olema, which we feel are the perfect choice for your holiday party, dinner table and as gifts to the wine lovers in your life!
Olema looks to celebrate California’s Sonoma through vibrant, flavorful wines of outstanding value. It all began in Sonoma County where a lively Chardonnay, a lush Pinot Noir and a complex Cabernet Sauvignon showcase the breadth of Sonoma flavors. What results is a collection of wines perfect for an evening with friends and loved ones, wines that over-deliver with every sip.
And we cannot speak of Olema without mentioning the pedigree of winemaking talent behind these wines! The wealth of experience from lead winemaker, Tony Biagi, includes Duckhorn, Paraduxx, Plumpjack, Cade and Hourglass. Small-production, single-vineyard wines comprise a large part of his wine portfolio, but it’s his impressive knowledge of fermentation science (with a degree from the University of California at Davis) and keen knack for sensing a wine’s building blocks that he utilizes most in the Olema cellar.
Saturday afternoon, we're turning our wine tasting into a celebration of Orin Swift's California selections.
For those interested in sampling bubbles, we invite you to join us for three special events this week; Tuesday 12/10, Wednesday 12/11, and Thursday 12/12. On these three special days, from 3 pm to 6 pm, we host our first annual bubbles trifecta. Enjoy bubbles presented by three different wine representatives from boutique wine distributors, each with three bubbly selections to present to our guests. Try before you buy & enjoy bringing these home for yourself, as hostess gifts, holiday gifts and remember, bubbles are for every day of the year! A perfect time for everyone to clink their glass and say Cheers!
