Topa Topa ‘Dos Topas’ Lager 6-Pack
The summer sun dips low. You brush the salt from your skin after a long day of ocean swims and sandy beach towel naps.

2023 Hundred Suns ‘Old Eight Cut’ Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
The Old Eight Cut refers to a diamond cut dating back to the 1400s using simple tools and few cuts to enhance the natural brilliance of the stone without disguising its true nature.
The first sip shows a center point of sweetness that is buttressed by dark red fruit, ripe tannins and a hint of nori that give the wine a serious edge. With air and time, the sappy spicy notes that come from partial whole cluster fermentation resonate on the finish, making this wine one with incredible depth that will drink well now and over the next 10 years.
