LEWANDOWSKI TASING SALON | Saturday 8/29/26 200P - 400P

Evan is our guy. You know him by now > he kicked off this grand experiment of a wine shop 4.5 years ago, then returned last year to keep the fervor going. We’ve worked together, stomped grapes together, broken bread together...and shared maybe one too many martinis together!

His wines are back in the market, finally, with the hit makers you know & love: spunky orange Tatto, vibrant & layered Rosé & the crowd favorite, easy-drinking red, Feints. We’re cracking them open this Saturday for a 3 wine tasting salon. Join us to drink them all!

LITTLE HILL PIZZA POPUP | Tuesday 9/1, 9/15, 9/29 500P - 800P

Tuesdays in September are about to get a whole lot better! We’re welcoming in Pavel & his west coast-style wood fired pizza project, Little Hill Pizza! These pizzas are the real deal > we had a slice at Nati Wine Fest & knew we had to collab!

Every other Tuesday in September, starting 9/1, we’re bringing the perfect marriage of wood-fired pizza with the freshest wine we can find. It’s the perfect way to usher in fall & say “✌️” to summer. The weather will be nice, the vibes will be pristine, the pizza will be airy & charred, the wine will be rippin’!

Make plans for the whole series. Or just one night. We promise to hold a pie for you. You’ll be glad we did.

Menus to come before each night. Stay tuned.

little hill, big thrill

SMASHBUGERS! | Thurss 8.20.26 500P - 800P

It’s not Hump Day, but Thursday is kinda like the weekend already, right? At least your boss will know that Fridays are generally low on productivity…and who knows? Maybe you’re one of the fortunate few who has “Summer Fridays”?

Anyway. The Smashburger that makes us all happy is back again this week. Same is it always is > high quality beef, high quality toppings, high quality product. It’s looking like it will be in the low 80s, so there’s really no excuse not to come out & take a load off. You know we’ve got the wine & mood box ✅so all we need is you.

Thursdays are the new Wednesdays. Promise. Come early, people like them.

MOTHER’S DAY TASTING | 5.9.26 300P - 600P

This one is all about treating mom to some good wine; either the day-before the actual day, or picking out a bottle to give to her the next!

We’re once again teaming up w/ our pals to bring you a tasting of 4 wines that are geared towards Mother’s Day: whether that’s a gift, pouring it the day-of, or just to have on hand. It’s a ticketed event, where $20 gets you a tasting of 4 wines. You can then choose to buy any or all of the wines to take home. BONUS: we’ll have a selection of pastries from THE to either eat w/ your wine or take home as a nice Mother’s Day gift!

Link in bio for tickets. Casual Saturday tasting to get Mother’s Day started? Sign us up!

OYSTER SHUCKER | 4.16.26 500P - 800P

We can say it: spring is officially here! With the warmer temps & longer days, we’re ripping the winter away by bringing a fan favorite back: oysters! To us, nothing says spring like slurping back some bivalves on the half shell whilst being complemented by some bright, refreshing wine from our friends

Grab a friend, bring yourself, whomever; just make plans to hang with us next Thursday!

SATURDAY SOIRÉE w/ daytime jazz trio | 04.04.26 300P - 500P

We’re right back atcha with another event, a first for us: our longtime reg will be in-house w/ 2 friends illuminating our space with some sweet, sweet jazz waves. He’s been all over town with regular gigs, now finally he’s home!

It’s a daytime soirée; an idea conjured up over a couple bottles, to bring a relaxing, wine-infused hang to your Saturday meandering. Still in after lunch, before dinner while on a stroll. And since it’s us, we’re opening something special. Stay tuned, it’s BIG!

WINEMAKER TASTING + SICILIAN “PIZZA” SQUARES | 03.31.26 500P - 800P

What better way to start our week, and help break up yours, than heading you to your neighborhood wine shop for a casual tasting with a Sicilian fav, Cantine Barbera, while also snacking on some delicious focaccia “pizza” squares from our girl of .deli.wine ? We can’t think of anything.

Marilena Barbera will be in the shop on Tuesday, talking about her Sicilian winery, the coastal influence, the culture & the wines. Join us & give her a warm welcome as we close out the month. You’ll be glad you did!
