UPCOMING EVENTS

I Nonni and Sunfish Cellars invite you to join us for one of the many Tastings, Wine Classes or Dinners that allow us to showcase the undeniable relationship between food and wine. If you’d like to always be informed of these events please sign-up for our newsletter. We hope for the opportunity to serve you soon.

Do you miss having a glass of wines with friends and loved ones during these trying times? We understand (we miss seeing you in the store and restaurant), but we have a solution and it's so simple! All you have to do is pick some friends, pick a day and time, pick some wines, and we'll do the rest so you can have a private, in-home(s), properly socially distancing personal wine tasting for you and your friends.

It's so easy!

Pick a day other than Thursday and a time.
Pick three bottles of wine from our website: https://sunfishcellars.com/collections/wine-2 or give our wine director some guidelines and we will select the wines for you (minimum total $75 for the three bottles).
Pick at least nine friends (or nine couples, or nine groups of any size)
Email us at hoyt@sunfishcellars.com with the email address of each member of your group and the three wines you have selected.

Once it's set up, have each member of your group pick up their three bottles prior to the tasting and follow along with our wine director Hoyt as he tastes the wines in a systematic, professional manner. Learn about grape varieties you may not have tasted before, or about wine regions you may not be familiar with! And, most of all, have fun doing it!

We will create a Zoom conference and you can enjoy the tasting conducted by our wine director from the comfort of your home, while staying safe!

You can even pick up a cheese and olive platter or charcuterie platter to enjoy with the tasting:

Weekly Thursday Evening Zoom Conference!

in us Thursday, June 4th, at 6:30pm for a Zoom conference tasting of fabulous wines from our cellar. This week's tasting will feature three truly wonderful wines from the Oregon winery, Lingua Franca. We will be joined by my long-time friend, Larry Stone, who is the owner/winemaker and a Master Sommelier. He and I actually took the MS exam together (we think it was 1987 or 1988). Formerly the sommelier at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago and at Rubicon in San Francisco – and later the GM at Quintessa and Rubicon – Larry is one of the most gifted blind tasters in the world and his wines are absolutely stunning.

This week's tasting includes:

2018 Lingua Franca AVNI Chardonnay, $39.99

Very refined and gracefully complex with precise and vibrant Meyer lemon, river stone, white peach, and apricot flavors that glide on a long finish. Drinking perfectly now.

2017 Lingua Franca AVNI Pinot Noir, $34.99

This reflects the greater impact of Lingua Franca Estate fruit in the wine. The resulting aromas are beautiful expressions of rose petal, wet stone, black plum, red cherry, and savory elements. It has a remarkably delicate tannin structure but is also layered with seductive fruit. It is vibrant and fresh.

2016 Lingua Franca The Plow Pinot Noir, $59.99

The vineyard sites blend together to create a dense wine while the vine age contributes to a purity of expression and a depth of flavor that is saline, mineral, and bright. A very special wine Larry was kind enough to share with us.

Remember, you can pick up the wines prior to the conference with curbside pick up or we will deliver them within 15 miles, no charge.

If you are not local, we will ship the three wines to you in time for the tasting. Remember that, on orders of $500 or more, we are not charging for shipping during the quarantine.

Or, if you'd prefer to watch the tasting before purchasing the wines, email Hoyt at hoyt@sunfishcellars.com and we will provide you with the link to log on.

We hope you will join us each Thursday at 6:30!
