Crafted from heritage orchard fruit on Orcas Island, Girl Meets Dirt pét-nats are made with minimal intervention, letting the land and native flora guide the wine. No added sulfites. No added yeast. Just fruit co-fermented in neutral French oak, gently racked, never filtered, and bottled before fermentation finishes—capturing a completely natural effervescence.
You’ll taste five unique pét-nats, each with its own personality, history, and sense of place. From orchard to bottle, every pour is a celebration of old trees, careful hands, and nature doing its thing.

Tuesday Tasting - Coastal Wine Regions & Wine Club Pickup!
Join us at Brimmer & Heeltap…
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
