Muffin $5.50
Our freshly baked muffins are all large, oversized, and amazing! Blueberry has a crispy top and a buttery, luxurious muffin stuffed full of fresh blueberries. Probably our single most popular menu item.Our double chocolate is RICH! We use organic cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips to make this huge, chocolaty beasts that are extremely popular with our youngest customers (or at least our youngest family member - who currently survives on these and chicken nuggets.)Banana Walnut is a favorite smell in our shop! When we are cooking these everyone seems to be in a great mood. As a staff we all agree these are our most underrated muffins. We adore the brown Sugar walnut topping that makes this entire muffin pure joy.Peanut Butter. Banana. Coffee Cake. Vegan. These are a lot of words for just one muffin but it's all in there! The banana and peanut butter manage to remain very subtle in this moist treat. The coffee cake top adds a great texture and a complimentary flavor throughout the entire muffin.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo $4.00
Sierra Nevada and hops go hand in hand. What began as a crazy idea scribbled in a pub eventually became our newest year-round hop bomb, Torpedo Extra IPA. The first beer to feature our “Hop Torpedo”—a revolutionary dry-hopping device that controls how much hop aroma is imparted into beer without adding additional bitterness. Torpedo Extra IPA is an aggressive yet balanced beer with massive hop aromas of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit. 17° Bittering Hops: Magnum Finishing Hops: Magnum, Crystal, Citra Malts: Two-row Pale, Caramel (12 oz) 7.2% ABV

Weingut Oppenauer - Zweigelt $21.00
Natural Wine.Weingut Oppenauer is committed to making wines that bring people together, and one of the best ways to achieve thier goal, is to make affordable wine. They were the first winery in the village of Poysdorf in the Weinviertel to convert to organic farming. In 2003, Rainer Oppenauer's father decided to convert all their land to organic farming, including the 85ha dedicated to other crops like wheat, rye, spelt, and fruit trees. The farm has been in the family for over 200 years, though it wasn't until the 1950s when they first started bottling wine with the Oppenauer name. The Oppenauer family wants their work to go beyond organics and encompass a larger notion of ecology, from making their own compost right down to the grapeseed oil that they’ve been producing since 2010.Oppenauer's 100% Zweigelt displays a wonderful ruby color flecked with garnet. Lovely aromas of violets, cherries and ripe strawberries plume from the glass. On the palate, the wine shows subtle, integrated tannins and brisk acidity that provide a runway for the pure fruit flavors to land as they flow into a refreshing and surprsingly long finish. Enjoy with grilled sausages.

Senorio De P Pecina - Rioja $19.00
I love the classical nose of spice, berries and herbs of the 2016 Señorío de P. Peciña Crianza, a textbook ultra-classical Rioja that matured in used American oak barrels for 24 months, during which time it was racked by gravity every six months. These wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and a soft vinification without much extraction of long macerations. It’s expressive, polished and very pleasant, really what I expect in this style, with some developed notes and a gentle mouthfeel. 100,000 bottles produced. Very good introduction to a classical Crianza at a very attractive price. It was bottled in April 2021. (Luis Gutiérrez)

La Naturel - Garnacha $24.00
Aroa is a winery, in D.O. Navarra, where wine and Organic methods of cultivating go hand in hand. Carefully selected vineyards, located in the highest and coolest area of the region, hand-picked grapes.As the name suggests, Le Naturel Garnacha wine is a natural wine where the grapes are the main character. Made mainly from grenache and other varieties, the wine has a short maceration for only 5 days with minimum intervention to keep the grape’s qualities. No added sulphites.Le Naturel has a clean and bright color, with raspberry tones. On the nose, its fresh, with good intensity of red fruit notes of strawberries, raspberries, and violets. On the mouth, you get lots of fresh fruit with a genuinely nice step. A fresh, light and easy drinking red that is packed full of fruit.

Blue Quail - Pinot Noir $22.00
Aromas of raspberries dusted in cocoa bring you to fun flavors of juicy wild strawberries, plums and bing cherries. Hints of baking spices and berry black tea linger on the finish. This is a fresh, lively, light Pinot Noir that is delicious with an array of foods. We like it with a slight chill on it during the warmer months. Forest Trail Notes: We love this vineyard! They are all organic, natural wines who use the Russian River to fully power their operations. In fact they use the Russian River to power 100 homes locally. On top of that all of their wine is unique and delicious.

Lemonade - Pinot Noir Rose $22.00
Our latest version of this wine continues the bright, juicy tradition that Lemonade has become. Berries and citrus dominate with ripe raspberry, juicy grapefruit, pink apple, Meyer lemon, wet stones and lifted floral aromatics. High quality, organic vineyards were used, the fruit was picked at an optimal time for rosé, and the wine was steadily crafted into a bright and juicy, delicious rosé. Four organically grown vineyards across the Willamette Valley provided Pinot noir and one organic vineyard in the Applegate provided Gamay, the combination is juicy, bright, and full of fruit.

Carne Mercato - Red Blend (50% Montepulciano, 40% Corvina, 10% Merlot) $25.00
Wine Maker's Notes: "The Carne has soft, dark red fruits of plum, cherry, and blackberry, with undertones of tobacco and warm spice. Easy on the palate, it is medium bodied with soft tannins and a classic, dry finish. This is Fabio’s take on a classic red table wine. The Corvina highlights the dark red and wild fruits, adding a bit of spice and pepper. Montepulciano fills out the body of the wine and the Merlot is present in the finish. A wine that begins strong and finishes with elegance and ease."

The Fableist - Merlot $21.00
Rumors of the death of Merlot are greatly exaggerated. Sourced almost entirely from the Hinterland Vineyard in North Paso, this Merlot has a classic claret character. Black tea, northland blueberries and cocoa drive the aromatics. The silky texture slides gracefully across the palate leaving behind hints of sweet plums, warm cedar planks, and freshly ground spices. Dense and chewy on the palate, this is the Merlot that makes Cab drinkers think twice about their favorite grape.

Es Okay - Red Blend $25.00
From the Wine Maker: Oohhhheee baby, This 2022 Es Okay Red Blend is just like your first crush. Enticing with its delicate aroma of fresh rhubarb & raspberry pie straight from the oven, and baby leaves on a dewey morning. Its youthful freshness hits you with a 1, 2 punch!Feeling like a throwback to the 2020 blend. After the Portuguese block suffered from a good frost night, we were on the hunt for a new component to fill the loss. Enter Mourvèdre from Oakley. A friend gave me a heads up that they would have some extra tonnage this year and when I got to the pick, I ran into 3 other solid winemakers getting fruit from that block, so I knew it was legit. The whole blend is roughly 40% whole cluster fermented and 4% Carbonic. The remaining was destemmed for fermentation.Serve this wine with a slight chill!

2022 Celler La Vinyeta "pipa", Emporda, Catalunya, Spain $25.00
ABOUT THIS WINELa Vinyeta collaborates with the Mona Foundation to create wines in the conservation of primates. This organization is dedicated to the custody and recovery of animals, mainly chimpanzees and macaques. Each vintage they create two monovarietal wines from varieties recovered in the Empordà, monestrell and malvasia. Both wines are illustrated with animals from the Foundation that also give the name to the vintage. Two wines, a white one, “Pipa” (one of their Barbary macaques) and a black one, “Bea” (one of their chimpanzees).Two small productions but with a lot of soul.ABOUT THIS PRODUCERLa Vinyeta is one of the youngest and most dynamic DO Empordà projects. Its owners, Josep and Marta, are two young entrepreneurs who set up the business in 2002 with just 4 hectares of old vines located in Mollet de Peralada. Starting with these vine stocks, and with the know-how of the previous owner, they planted additional vineyards. In 2006 they built the cellar and began to produce their first bottles. In the space of just a few years, La Vinyeta has received numerous plaudits and has earned the appreciation of many visitors, drawn to the winery by a very personal service. La Vinyeta has been chosen as Best Winery 2018 by the Catalan Association of Sommeliers.

Big Salt - Orange Wine Rose $29.00
Winemaker Notes: If you love ORANGE wines (white wines fermented on their skins), or wanted to explore what they're all about - Big Salt "Orange Rose" is a good place to start. It has a sunset cranberry color that comes as a result of Pinot gris skins being blended with the tangerine hues of Big Salt. It’s aromas remind me of a carrot orange creamsicle stirred into a cup of hibiscus tea, steeped with autumnal spices. Roasted carrot, ginger, red apple skin are on the palate. THIS WINE IS NOT FRESH LIKE BIG SALT, it's more like if Big Salt were a red wine. I hope you will find this strange wine as intriguing and pleasurable as we do.

Azul Y Garanza - Tempranillo $21.00
Certified organic and handpicked grapes from the Murillo and Santa Cara vineyards that are an average age of 15 years old on clay-calcareous at 400 meters. The grapes undergo a 10 day, wild yeast fermentation in concrete tanks and 10 day maceration period which is followed by brief aging in concrete tank until bottling and release. Fresh, dry and delicious, making the case for bigger is better (at least in terms of volume). Bright aromatics of red cherries and raspberries give way to copious amounts of strawberry and hints of cedar on the palate.

The Blacksmith - Cinsault $27.00
This wine is red sunshine in a glass. So bright and lively, it boasts enticing scents of fresh red plum, cherry and strawberry that are coupled with glimmers of baking spice and rooibos tea which add pleasant depth and interest in the background. There's a slight lift to the palate, which is light and juicy. Well made, direct, unfussy in approach and high in pure, unadulterated drinking pleasure. — Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusist. This is a natural and sustainably grown wine.

Lurbira - Granacha $15.00
Throughout my wine career I have always been drawn to the pure drinkability of Spanish wines. These are wines that deliver killer flavors, but at price tags you won’t feel guilty about popping a bottle every night for dinner. After years of discussing it (usually over a bottle of wine) Rooted Selections decided to jump in and create our own custom cuvee, but who to partner with? We knew we wanted to work with a family, someone who cared for and respected the land, as well as having a deep connection to their region. Enter Bodegas Beramendi, a family owned sustainably farmed winery in the Navarra region of Northern Spain. Here Bodegas Beramendi cultivates the traditional varieties of Garnacha, Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha Blanca, along with the more international varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. After an exhaustive search for a name we decided on Lurbira, who was the “Earth Goddess” in the ancient religion of the native Basque people of the region. To us this helps symbolize the commitment we feel to the land as well as allowing us to keep in the spirit of Bodegas Beramendi, which is one of the only wineries in Spain run completely by women. -Rooted Selections
