Phinney's Hidden Gems Wine Tasting

You know the name. You’ve seen the labels. But this tasting goes off the beaten vine.

Join us for a fun, insider-style wine tasting as we uncover Dave Phinney’s lesser-known gems—the bottles that don’t always steal the spotlight, but absolutely deserve it. This is your chance to taste the other side of Phinney: nuanced, expressive, and full of surprises.

We’ll be pouring four wines total, featuring:

• Standout selections from Santa Rita Hills, sourced from the Our Lady of Guadalupe portfolio—cool-climate wines with serious personality, elegance, and edge
• One bold discovery from Southwest France, showing how Phinney’s vision translates beyond California into Old World soul with New World confidence

Expect great stories, unexpected flavors, and plenty of “wait… why haven’t I had this before?” moments. As always, the tasting will be paired with Vichino’s in-house pretzel charcuterie—our signature pretzel nuggets alongside meats, cheeses, and fruit.

This tasting is perfect for:

• Phinney fans ready to go deeper
• Wine lovers who enjoy discovering bottles before everyone else
• Anyone who likes their wine education fun, relaxed, and a little rebellious

✨ Come curious. Leave with new favorites.
These gems won’t stay hidden for long. 🍷

We ask you arrive on time and be ready to learn! Questions are strongly encouraged, don't be shy!
