Wine

Not a sommelier?

Neither are we! But...

From Old World to New World and all the worlds in between, we love exploring, enjoying, and sharing as many varietals, regions, producers, and winemaking processes as possible in our shop. 

Whether you are looking for an easy drinking blend to go with dinner, some bubbles for celebration, or an adventurous palate pleaser to nerd out on with friends, you can find a delicious and revelatory wine from thoughtful and talented producers at Tip Top!
Rootdown Es Okay Rosé

“Merlot and Trousseau are at the core of this blend. Merlot gives the wine its strong color, and the Trousseau leans it out. Pinot Blanc added a little bitterness to the back and the Es Okay White blend gives it a huge aromatic lift. Don't let the numbers fool you, it's not as sweet as it may seem, just perfectly crushable!”

Willamette Valley Single Vineyard Pioneer Ken Wright Cellars’ delightful and delicious wines recently added to our shelves:

2016 Pinot Blanc
2017 Savoya Chardonnay
2017 Shea Pinot Noir
2018 Latchkey Pinot Noir

“Over 40 years of wine making has taught Ken a simple truth: source is everything. Located, in rural Carlton, Oregon, Ken Wright Cellars is devoted to producing wine that showcase the inherent quality of world class vineyard sites. With a clarity and breadth that is unequaled, Pinot noir is the ultimate vehicle for conveying the aroma, flavor and texture of the location in which it is grown… Our approach to the craft of wine growing is one of stewardship rather than manipulation. We use organic certified practices as a base and expand upon that with advanced nutrition-based farming. By analyzing both our soil profile and vines, maintaining proper crop levels, personally sampling each vineyard, and hand-sorting each cluster, we ensure that the inherent character in the fruit is revealed in the finished wine. Minimal handling of wine is essential to preserve what it is; a gift of nature.”

Guthrie Family Galaxy Carbonic Carignan

From the winemaker:

“Carignan is like a love fern... you get out what you put in. Without a watchful eye, or in poor growing conditions, this very VERY productive variety can be unbalanced and clunky in the glass. But when working with minimal intervention techniques and fruit as well curated and cared for as the Carignan at Testa Vineyard, you bear witness to little drinkable masterpieces. 

Established in 1912 by Gaetano and Maria Testa, this well respected vineyard in Calpella is currently run by the 4th generation of Marias and her son Charlie. Organic growing practices, old old old vines, and fluffy vineyard dogs lend a true sense of history to Testa. This particular block was planted just after WW2 on Yokayo series silty loam. 

We decided to take this beautiful fruit, so full of complexity, and turn the ‘fun’ dial up to 11 by fermenting carbonically. Carbonic ferments allow us to lend a bright, approachable and juicy character to the Carignan. The sweet/tart of summer strawberries and pink starbursts are kissed by sweet little bouquet garni bundles. Think Rainbow Brite & Strawberry Shortcake at their beach house on the Adriatic. 

Always (and only) minimal Sulfites added.”

Tenuta di Ceppaiano K. Haring is not only an absolutely delicious red blend but you also essentially get a Keith Haring print with each bottle as he designed this label specifically for the family that makes this wine! Great art, great wine, fine livin’ indeed.
