WELCOME!

Hi there! Thank you for visiting wine-sense online. We hope to be as interactive, passionate, and knowledgeable on this website as we are in person.

Our approach is simple. We keep the seasons in mind and pair to the foods we’re cooking with at each time of year. OK, so we might be over-thinking a bit. But that’s why you love us!

If you’ve shopped in the store, you know our wines move fast and the selection changes often. So be sure to check back frequently for latest finds, our new obsessions, and recently allocated bottles. We’ll also share upcoming events and sales so, you can grab them while they’re in stock.  – Samanta

Exciting New Addition: Vintage Release from the Chapuis Brothers – Burgundy

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest vintage release from the Chapuis brothers, now available on our shelves! Growing up amidst the delightful aroma of grapes and the picturesque vineyards of Aloxe-Corton in Burgundy, the Chapuis brothers established their own winery in 2008. Initially, they crafted their wines in a charming cellar located in Pommard, then just a year later built their own facility in Ladoix-Serrigny, perfectly situated in the Côte de Beaune.

Romain, one of the brothers, was always a bit of a wine geek. He studied oenology and then traveled far and wide to learn the secrets of winemaking. His journey took him to various wine regions across France—Alsace, Bordeaux, Beaujolais—and even as far as Lebanon and New Zealand. When he came back to Burgundy, he took on the role of head cellar master for the renowned Philippe Pacalet.

Now, the brothers have about 4 hectares of land that they lovingly tend to. Their vineyards are scattered across Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe Corton Premier Cru, Corton Grand Cru, and Corton Charlemagne. But they’re not just about their own plots. They also team up with growers who share their passion to bring in the best fruit. They’re in the third year of converting to organic farming, and they’re all about keeping things natural. Every grape is picked by hand, they only use native yeasts, and they add just a smidge of sulfur only when they really have to.

I am absolutely thrilled to have Jim Anderson return to our tasting table. As both the owner and winemaker for Patricia Green Cellars, he fills the room with boundless joy and knowledge (I can barely contain my excitement!). The winery is situated on a breathtaking 52-acre estate in the Ribbon Ridge district of Oregon’s Yamhill County, which Patty Green and Jim Anderson purchased in 2000. These vineyards are among the finest in the Ribbon Ridge, Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains, and Eola Hills growing regions.
