The Legendary Tawny & Colheita Ports

From Kopke


While we might yet be waiting for winter in Portland (considering 2020 has three weeks left, expect a snowmageddon) it is certainly time for Port. The temperatures have dropped and we’ve still got every excuse to stay home and enjoy the full breadth of a wine that will warm you, head to toe. There are a million reasons to close out the year with the amazing wines of Kopke.

Two Value Stars of the Northern Rhone


Eric and Joel Durand

New Offer / New Sale


Daniel Bouland makes gutsy wines from old vines in the heart of Beaujolais premier appellations.
