Come taste the wines of Filomena with winemaker Luke Nio. Luke describes his wines as "Small lot, minimal intervention wines using unique grapes from some pretty special places." They're awesome. Cab Pfeffer, St. Laurent, Petite Sirah. All unique, all fantastic. This is going to be an awesome event. Hang out with Luke, taste through the […]
Join us on Thursday, September 19th to taste 12 wines from the South of France. The South of France is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to wine, but it has still never blown up in popularity like other French regions. Of course, at Outer Space we love regions like this because it means […]
We love wines with some age on them. That doesn't mean old wines, necessarily. It just means that we appreciate a wine that has had the appropriate amount of time to come into its own. One of the things that drives us crazy about Napa is that so many wines are so age-worthy, but get […]
Cody and Emily Rasmussen are the owners of Desire Lines, which produces wines which we absolutely love. Cody's day job is being an Assistant Winemaker at Bedrock Wine Co. We really appreciate and respect how much great wine comes out of Bedrock, both under its labels, and the labels of people who work there. It […]
Chardonnay is a perfect example of a wine that gets really fun with a little age, but doesn't need to go for 30 years to develop full complexity. We generally find that Chardonnay is at its best in the 5-10 year range, but there are lots of fun ones going much further back. This Thursday, […]
Our Aged Wine Night a couple weeks ago was a tremendous hit. People were drinking very, very cool bottles of wine. 1996 Dyer Cabernet, 1994 Truchard Merlot, 1986 BV Rutherford, 1987 Lytton Springs Zin?!?! So much fun, all at very reasonable prices. Well, this Saturday we're digging back into the cellar and pulling out more […]
We have a special fondness for wines from Carneros, and we're bringing one of its greatest wineries into Outer Space to pour for you. Robert Sinskey produces fun, delicious, singular wines. Some are light-hearted, some are serious, all are very good. We'll be tasting a fantastic lineup including a special library wine being opened up […]
Announcing "Class Is In Session," the Outer Space series of classroom-style wine tastings with Dan Dawson. Each class will focus on a specific wine region of the world. The theme for October classes is Burgundy We All Can Afford As Burgundies from the “tenderloin” (Montrachet, Chambertin, Musigny…) are the playground of the uber-rich, one needs […]

Arnot-Roberts is one of our very favorite wineries, producing a broad range of wines all at a very high quality level. We have personally been collecting the wines for years and absolutely love them. To be able to pour a lineup of their current releases and some library wines is kind of a dream come […]
Friday we'll be tasting a dozen wines from Greece. One of the oldest winemaking regions in the world, and still, somehow, perpetually under the radar. Sure, you've had an Asyrtiko, maybe a Xinomavro, but have you really dug into Greek wines? If not (or even if you have!) this will be an amazing opportunity to […]
