Spicy Tuna Roll
Stolpman Vineyards, Love You Bunches So Fresh Rosé, 2020
Pink tinged with both fiery bright red and fuzzy, happy peachiness. Aromas of bright red fruit jumps out of the glass with a leap of invigorating energy. This wine is alive! Flavors of crunchy strawberries and firm melon lead the charge of this exceedingly refreshing, bone-dry rose. The palate is focused and high-toned yet fills and coats the mouth with concentration and a long perfumed finish. 100% Grenache from Central Coast, CA.
Stolpman Vineyards, So Fresh Sangiovese Love You Bunches Santa Barbara County, 2020
Serve chilled! The Long 2020 carbonic Sangiovese harvest led to a wine that delivers in immediate approachability. The typical Love You Bunches pizzazz of fresh red berry fruit and cherries that we all adore give way to lychee and pomegranate. Fleshier and softer than the more angular 2018 and 2019 vintages, the 2020 has a more cushioned mid-palate. Rico Suave! Darker notes of plum and pluot accompanied by signature tartness and lingering acidity.

Maysara Winery and Momtazi Vineyard are owned and operated by the Momtazi Family in McMinnville, Oregon. Maysara Winery—which translates to “house of wine,” a nod to their Persian heritage—is deeply rooted in cultural traditions, respect for the land and a commitment to biodynamic farming and winemaking practices. In 1997, the family purchased 496 of the now 532 acres of an abandoned wheat farm just south of their home and started their new life in the foothills of the McMinnville AVA.
Maysara Wines is run by Iranian Immigrants Flora and Moe Momtazi, while their three daughters play essential roles in every aspect of the winery. Tahmiene is Maysara’s main winemaker, and she was awarded #14 on the Wine Spectator’s top 100 list during her second year into the job. Her sister Naseem is the national and international sales manager, while Hanna is the events and hospitality manager.
Maysara Arsheen Pinot Gris, 2019
So exciting, this fantastic gris has a bright expression of fruit right up front, greeting your palate with notes of kiwi and grapefruit on a warm day. The wine is anchored by crisp acidity, but not so much as to overpower a fleeting tease of juicy fruit that leave you smiling. This spicy white has a smart, refreshing character that will bestow clarity to a range of fish, fowl, and pork.
Three Degrees Pinot Noir, 2018
A Pinot Noir made by the Momtazi sisters when they set out to make a Pinot that tastes great, comes from high quality grapes, all while being affordable for everyone. Intriguing notes of fresh earth, oak leaves and pepper are woven together in the initial impression. Lifted, verdant tannins give this wine a firm structure for the vintage to showcase its characteristic spiciness.
