Beyond Pinot: Cool-Climate Reds
If you love Pinot Noir, your world is about to get bigger. Gamay, Trousseau, Poulsard, Schiava — lighter, crunchy, food-loving reds that thrive in cool climates and pair brilliantly with the Pacific Northwest table.
Sommelier-led wine courses, intimate tasting evenings, Meet the Winemaker nights, and private events tailored to you — all in downtown Poulsbo.
