Remember the Orphans – 20% Off Tasty Wine
What is the Orphan Shelf? It’s our fun way of closing out wine & beer to make way for the new stuff.
It’s located right at the checkout counter, and we offer a 20% discount on these products to
our Wine & Beer of the Month Club Members.
Why are products orphaned? Well, basically they are forgotten. Selling great one week and yesterdays news the next. Forgotten greats that need a home. Maybe the label isn’t show stopping or it’s from an area people are not familiar with so it just sits quietly, patently waiting to be adopted. Open your heat and mind these are really great wines!
The orphan shelf has had some recent admittants. Several bottles of wine were discovered that have been waiting for a home, and some beer has even migrated to the orphan shelf. Club members receive a 20% discount whenever they adopt an orphan. Find it in your heart.
A wide range of very delicious bottles are currently up for adoption. Come peer into the glassed-over eyeballs of these little fellas and see if one of them doesn’t tug at your heart. Pleeeze sir, can I have some more?
Enoteca Fun Tasting Events Calendar
Mark your calendars for tastings at Enoteca – Fine Wine & Beer. Some are classroom format, which means we all sit down at the same time and can interact with the presenter with questions and whatnot. Our Friday & Saturday wine tastings are drop-in format, which means you can stop in any time during the tasting hours and try some excellent wine. We price our tastings to just break even on the quantity we pour for you, and our pours are quite a bit more than a typical winery tasting room experience. Join us for these excellent tasting events!

Pahlmeyer Wine Tasting with David Landis
Tuesday, February 9th – 7 pm [$20 flight, classroom]
David Landis represents the premium marquee brand of Pahlmeyer, a cult status winery from Napa Valley. Pahlmeyer is a brand that has enlisted the wine making talent of Randy Dunn (Dunn Cabernet, Long Shadows Feather Cabernet), Bob Levy (Harlan Estates), Helen Turley, David Abreu, and Erin Green (Sonoma-Cutrer, Colgin, Bryant Family and Martinelli). Consulting is done by Michel Rolland, winemaker of Long Shadows Pedestal Merlot, Ornellaia, and more.
The first wine out of Pahlmeyer earned 94 points from the renowned Robert Parker, shocking wine connoisseurs and critics nationwide. The concept is “Bordeaux in California” and he seems to be succeeding.
We’ll be tasting the entire line-up of Pahlmeyer wines, including some incredible high-end top shelf wine. The Proprietary Red gets 95 and 96 points from Parker, Napa Chardonnay 92 points, Napa Merlot 94 points, Sonoma Pinot 94 points, Sonoma Chardonnay 95 points… The list goes on and on. To buy all these bottles to taste at home would cost $674. Don’t miss this amazing tasting event.
Come learn, taste, and discover on this special Tuesday evening tasting event.
Only $20 per person, Reserve your tickets early.
Riedel Stemware Wine Tasting Event
Wednesday, February 17th – 7 pm [$TBD flight, classroom]
Does the glass you’re drinking from really matter? We believe it does, and that’s why we only use genuine Riedel stemware at Enoteca tasting events. Ever have a wine that tasted great in the restaurant or tasting room, but seemed to fall flat at home? Inappropriate stemware is the most likely culprit.
This event will be unlike any other we have held. The ticket price will include a personal set of your own stemware, each designed for a different type of wine. At this event we will demonstrate by tasting the quality of the beverage experience in each type of glass.
An expert in stemware from Riedel will be on hand to share the story of how these were developed, and to educate on proper stemware use. This promises to be a fun and rewarding experience!
As soon as we have a cost we will announce it here, Reserve your tickets early.
Old Schoohouse Beer Tasting with Ruud Family-Brewers

Come meet the beer making family and try these new crafts. After tasting a bunch of beers, you get to take home a glass from the brewery. We’ll be holding 2 tastings, one at 5 and one at 7 pm. $10 per person, reserve your tickets early! (be sure to specify 5 or 7 pm)
