New Arrivals
Brightland
Born from sunshine and a simple idea: great meals start with great ingredients – Brightland olive oils and vinegars are crafted with care by family farmers. Their AWAKE olive oil is a bold and robust cold-pressed EVOO designed for roasting, sautéing, soups, stews, and bread. Made with early-harvest Lecciana and Arbosana olives grown on small family farms in California’s Central Coast. This oil is beautiful over bitter greens, sourdough, and white beans. Flavor notes: green almond, fennel frond, and tomato vine. Their ALIVE olive oil is for drizzling and dressing up. Milled within hours of harvest for peak quality, this custom blend of Koroneiki and Arbosana olives dances like fresh-cut grass beneath your feet. With a smooth and lush flavor and a peppery finish, ALIVE is the perfect finishing touch on crispy green salads, delicate dressings, and your favorite ice cream.

Wine of the Week
Wayfarer Pinot Noir Estate ’21
“The 2021 Pinot Noir The Estate (previously labeled “Pinot Noir Wayfarer Vineyard”) has inviting aromas of cranberry sauce, mushroom, allspice and bitters. The palate’s concentrated, nuanced fruit is structured by focused acidity and generous, powdery tannins, and it finishes with a flourish of spicy accents. It’s drinking beautifully now and will develop savory complexity in bottle over the next decade. Drink 2024-2034.” 95 Pts Wine Advocate $94.99/btl
