Coastal Influence Wines: the Essence of ‘Halfseas’

This month, our club celebrates the timeless bond between wine and the ocean. Just as our name was inspired by an old song about getting Halfseas over — delightfully tipsy but not overboard — we look to the coastlines of the world for wines that carry that same spirit: vibrant, refreshing, and made to be shared.  Where sun-drenched slopes meet salty breezes, and grapes soak up all that ocean energy to become bright, vibrant, and full of life.  Wines with a little extra zing and freshness, the kind that practically beg for seafood feasts, or just sipping while you daydream about your next coastal escape. These wines carry the spirit of the sea in every sip.    Here’s to coastal vines, ocean air, and the way wine brings us together — sometimes halfseas over, always full of joy

Red, White, and Blau!
Austria may be a small country, but it packs a serious punch when it comes to distinctive, terroir-driven wines. This tasting celebrates Austria’s flagship varietals — from the crisp, peppery brightness of Grüner Veltliner, to the juicy charm of Zweigelt, and the elegant structure of Blaufränkisch. Grown in Austria’s cool-climate vineyards, these grapes thrive in mineral-rich soils and benefit from dramatic diurnal shifts, resulting in wines that are vibrant, balanced, and food-friendly. We’ll also explore Austrian varietals from producers in neighboring Croatia.

Tasting includes 4 wines for $10/person (complimentary to club members).

Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Little Crow Vineyards is a tiny, fiercely independent one-woman operation founded by Jessica Miller in 2016. Inspired by the vigneron traditions she observed in Europe, Miller tends two small vineyards by hand—pruning, tractor work, canopy management, and applying biodynamic and organic sprays—before stepping into the cellar to craft the wines herself. The name pays homage to the small birds that form scrappy, symbiotic partnerships with elephants, reflecting her own grassroots approach, as well as to a historical figure from her home state of Minnesota. With deep respect for the land’s original stewards, Miller’s work is guided by a desire to foster a true relationship with the vineyards she farms.

Tasting includes Pinot Noir 5 ways!
