Naked Bubbles

Naked Bubbles

Ok hold on! Just because we said NAKED BUBBLES doesn’t mean you can run down the street naked blowing bubbles! That might be best done in your backyard, assuming it’s fenced in. Or maybe you could just take a warm bath with a bubbly wine like ours! Made from our famous Niagara White this wine is perfect for bubbles of wine. Don’t take it too literal. We mean wine bubbles, not bath bubbles. It’s light and semi-sweet with notes of fresh fruit and pairs well with good times, bubble baths, and lots of laughs.

Attempted Murder

Attempted Murder

“Murder” — a flock of crows… In this case, it’s an attempted murder. As we go through life attempting to successfully plan and organize our lives, sometimes we just don’t show up to the party! Or maybe your friends and family forgot the day you were getting together. We all have our days. This Noiret is an attempt at bringing people together, and if they don’t show up, at least there’s some wine to drink! With notes of smokey cranberries and vanilla, slightly oaked. Best served with Thanksgiving dinner!

This semi-dry Chardonnay has notes of floral, lime, and slight earthy notes. Best served chilled.

Fancy AF


Fancy AF

This semi-sweet Traminette is our tribute to those that want to get dressed up and go out for a night on the town.

Pour Decisions


Pour Decisions

We’ve been there and made our fair share… and then some. Whether it’s letting your brothers convince you that “this won’t hurt” or that tattoo some things just seem like a good idea at the time.

To those decisions (and the many more we’ll all make to laugh about later) we offer the delectable blend of Pineapple-pear wine blended with a White Wine tribute. The sweetness is balanced with a slight acidity to remind us that while the good times are sweet and the bad ones sting a little, you can always count on us to help make your Pour Decisions a little easier and memorable whatever they may be.

Accidentally on Purpose


Accidentally on Purpose

A 50% Niagara 50% White Catawba blend, this wine may have wine-o-philes scratching their heads at the pairing...but just wait until your first sip. The bold, intensely grape flavor of Niagara grapes perfectly pair with the lighter, fruitier Catawba grapes to produce a pairing that shouldn’t work… but does. Like French fries dipped in milkshakes, maple bacon donuts and Snoop Dog and Martha Stewart, this bold yet light blend begs you to (in the words of ABBA) “Take a chance on Me”.

2020 was Awesome. It’s been a long time since much has felt “normal” But here is our take on a nicely balanced Valvin Muscat. We’d like to say that the fruity nose reminds us of Saturday morning cartoons. But all we can think of is trying to get the kids breakfast and ready online school before our first virtual meeting. Oh…and being exhausted. At least this semisweet won’t judge us for not wearing pants and forgetting to mute our mic when reminding our kids they’re supposed to be in class not watching something else (for the 100th time). Plus, it doubles as a great way to take the edge off those long meeting while getting more “coffee” before the next one. Enjoy it chilled… your secret is safe with us day drinkers that are late to the video call too.

This Concord grape wine is as local as it gets from the Pennsylvania Lake Erie Region. As one of the premier grape varietals for a local sweet wine we’re sure you’ll love it as mush as we do. 725 is light juicy and sweet with an intense jam-like grape flavor. For anyone that remembers the days of land lines and our local phone number this wine if for you.

Best served chilled, it pairs well with chocolate & ice cream and evokes a taste of freshly picked grapes off the vine or that grape jelly we all had as kids.

Karen's 1-Star Review


Karen's 1-Star Review

We love our customers... But just like family there is always that one that can never be satisfied. Not in a good Angelica Schuyler-Hamilton way...no we mean no matter what you do it isn't enough. So this is our tribute to the “Karen's” among us. This dry Rose’ is made from a blend of 50% Zweigelt and 50% Cabernet Franc. The dryness is balanced by the subtle fruit and hints of strawberry that round out this rose in a pleasant way.

Whether you parked your car too close to someone and it somehow became their fault you can’t get out. Or you show up to a wine store that is closed because you never checked their hours first. If it hasn't been your day, your week or even your year...we got you. Pour a glass, kick off your shoes and have a night.

By the way a huge thank you Karen! We didn't really want that perfect Google review anyway. Pairs well with Salmon and lighter proteins dishes. Best served chilled.
