Exceptional natural wines. We were graced with a tasting by the parents of the winemaker. A real family operation and much more. It turns out the wines were featured at a dinner by the restaurant Noma in LA. You might have of heard of it…I wasn’t surprised. But the proof is in the glass, do yourself a favor and experience it yourself.

Really enjoyed our experience here, the owner was really friendly and we left with a few bottles of wine, very different than any wine I’ve had before.

Mendocino’s hidden jewel!

The Bell is a third space in the old sense of the word. Wine from nearby hills, objects made by familiar hands, voices gathered for writing, a meeting place of seaweed and stars. You come for a glass and leave having been slightly bewitched.

Dorsal’s bottles open like small portals, verdant, saline, haunted, the kind of wines that remember things long forgotten.

Dorsal’s living wines pour beside objects, art, and home goods that feel chosen rather than stocked. It is a shop that feels like a shrine, a gathering place where creativity happens gently and often.
