New caviar has entered the chat. 🖤✨ We’re proud to source from Seattle Caviar Company, a locally founded business bringing the world’s finest caviar to our city since 1990. Started by Seattle natives Dale & Betsy Sherrow after falling in love with caviar abroad, they’ve built a reputation on exceptional quality, sustainability, and deep ties to the culinary community (their first wholesale clients included legends like the Four Seasons and Rover’s 👀). We love supporting a company that’s rooted right here, and obsessed with excellence. Enjoy it the proper way: chilled, briny, luxurious… preferably with a glass in hand. And yes — it’s still ½ price during Cavi-Hour ✨ Tuesday–Sunday | 3–5 PM Select glass pours for $10 + discounted tins = elegance without the splurge. Treat yourself. Bring a friend. Be a little extra.

🍸 Saturday is World Vermouth Day! 🍸 Vermouth is a fortified wine infused with botanicals — herbs, roots, citrus peel, warming spices — creating something beautifully aromatic, bittersweet, and incredibly versatile. It’s the quiet hero behind your martini or Negroni… but it’s also delicious simply chilled over ice with a twist.🍊 We’ve got some favorites by the bottle that are perfect for upgrading your home bar (or gifting to your cocktail-making pals): ✨ Little Crow x Tuff Talk – Vermouth of Portland Local, expressive, and vibrant — delicious on ice or in a spritz. 🥂 VYA Extra Dry Crisp, bright, and botanical-forward. A martini’s best friend. 🍶 Oka Kura Sweet Sake Vermouth (Japan) A silky, subtly sweet take that bridges sake and vermouth beautifully. ❤️ Oltremare Rosso Energia Liquida – Vermouth di Torino Rich, spiced, and complex — made for Negronis or sipping neat. Join us for a vermouth cocktail tonight, then grab a bottle (or two) to elevate your at-home pours.🍸 And yes — Cavi-Hour still runs 3–5 PM with discounted tins + $10 select glass pours. Because vermouth and caviar? A very good idea. 🖤🍷

Still think Riesling is sweet? Let’s fix that. 🍋✨ This Friday is International Riesling Day, and we’re celebrating one of the most dynamic, electric, food-loving grapes on the planet. From bone-dry and mineral to textured and saline, Riesling is all about energy, precision, and that mouthwatering finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. 🍷 Special Riesling Flight available on Friday
🍾 Plenty of bottles to enjoy here or take home A few current shop favorites: ✨ RAM Cellars 2024 (Columbia Gorge, WA) – Meyer lemon, mandarin, wet slate, honeysuckle, grapefruit zest, and that ocean-breeze freshness. Dry, vibrant, and dazzling. Only 105 cases produced. Pairs beautifully with spicy dishes, sushi, grilled veggies… and sunny afternoons. $34 ✨ Von Winnings 2023 (Pfalz, Germany) – Precision and elegance from one of Germany’s benchmark estates. High-density planting, minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation — resulting in a layered, dry Riesling with depth and polish. $30 ✨ Salomon “Terrassen” 2022 40 (Austria) – White stone fruit, lime zest, slate, and a lemon-saline finish. Electric and impossibly refreshing. $40 ✨ Weinreich 2017 (Rheinhessen, Germany) - Organically farmed, high-acid, mineral-driven classic Riesling with serious sense of place (and a name that literally means “rich with wine.”) $40 Come taste through the flight, find your style, and grab a bottle (or two) for dinner. Tag the friend who says they “don’t like Riesling.” We’ll handle the rest. 😉🍷 . . . . #seattlewa #ballardseattle #seattlewinetasting #internationalrieslingday #winebar
