Join us at Outer Space Wines on Thursday, August 8th for a flight of Rieslings from one of the world’s greatest producers – Weingut Dönnhoff. The tasting is from 5 to 7:30.
Google Dönnhoff and you will find countless essays praising these wines. We won’t try to describe the appeal of these wines because how does one explain why lemonade is so refreshing on a brutally hot day? But we will say definitively that they are, in fact, magic in a bottle. These wines are considered the benchmark for a reason.
The lineup represents an incredible opportunity for Dönnhoff lovers to nerd out by tasting the wines side-by-side as well as for those who get to experience them for the first time. Get ready to taste liquid lightning…
Estate Riesling 2023 $23
Tonschiefer Riesling Trocken 2023 $32
Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett 2023 $35
Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese 2022 $60

2024-08-09 17:00 - 19:30 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Join us at Outer Space Wines on Friday, August 9th for a very special Library Tasting with local winemaker Michael Havens. The tasting is from 5 to 7:30.
Michael Havens has made a lot of great wine in his life. On Friday, August 9th we get to try some of it AND get to chat with one of the kindest men in the biz. We will be sampling a range of wines all the way back to 1991. All of the bottles are coming directly from the winemaker himself or were collected over many years by your new Outer Space Captain and Havens super-fan, Thad.
The tasting is $40 online or $50 at the door on the night of the event.

Taste with the Winemaker - Rebekah Wineburg of Post & Vine
2024-08-15 17:00 - 19:30 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Join us in Outer Space from 5:00 – 7:30 on Thursday, August 15th for a Taste with the Winemaker event.
We are so excited to host winemaker Rebekah Wineburg to taste through her Post & Vine lineup featuring special wines and limited time pricing. We’ll be tasting three current releases and two special library bottles.
Rebekah’s day job is winemaker at Quintessa, but she fell in love with historic vineyards and has been bottling them in minuscule quantities since 2012. What happens when you match talented winemaking with historic vineyards? Well, you get to taste Old California at a price that baffles in New California. This is a great way to get acquainted with some really special, small production bottlings, and taste rarely seen back vintages.
Frankly, handmade wines with this level of farming, history, transparency, and sense of place should cost much, much more. It is our good fortune (for now) that the world has not yet realized that historic vineyards should entail higher price tags. Maybe we’ll get lucky and these sorts of bottles will stay under-the-radar forever, but with quality like this, from winemakers like Rebekah, I wouldn’t count on it.
Tickets are $22 in advance or $27 at the event. Purchase advance tickets here.
Walk-ins are always welcome in Outer Space.

Pool Crusher Tasting
2024-08-16 17:00 - 19:30 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Quench your thirst! It’s hot out there and we’re serving up a chilled lineup made for the pool, the beach, or anywhere else cold, easy drinking wine is a requirement. Taste through a salivating lineup from a 1 liter bottle of Austrian Grüner, to a crisp Txakolina, to a positively mouth-watering German rosé of Pinot Noir. Heck, there’s even a chilled red making the lineup (and boy is it tasty). Best of all–all of these cold, refreshing bottles are all great values. Come in, drink up, cool off!

Cave Dog Tasting with Michael Havens
2024-08-17 14:00 - 16:30 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Join us as we host Michael Havens one last time! Last week we drank bottles of his all the way back to 1991 and people got to see how well his wines age. This Saturday, we’ll be tasting his Cave Dog wines from the 2014, 2105 and 2018 vintage, and a bonus Cave Dog Albariño. And, we’ll have bottles on hand to purchase. Come join us, chat with Michael, and taste these wines that are available for sale in small quantities for a limited time. $20 in advance, $27 at the door.

L'Envolée Vertical Tasting with Caitlin and Quentin Lhommeau
2024-08-30 17:00 - 19:30 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Friday, August 30 5-7:30pm
Join winemaking couple Caitlin and Quentin Lhommeau as they take us through a four year vertical of their culty, highly regarded Cabernet and their Napa Chenin from L’Envolée. Great opportunity to get in early on a couple that are making big waves in Napa Cab world.
We’ll taste their 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 Napa Cabernet, along with their 2023 Chenin Blanc. I’m drinking the delicious 2020 as I type this. Bottle number 487 out of 750 from this vintage. Tiny production, very high quality, and delicious with the tri-tip with chimichurri that Emily made for dinner. It’s full of clove and blackberry jam with a chewy, cocoa-infused finish. It’s a lovely glass of wine, and I know you’ll love it as much as the critics do. Come on down and taste this while you still can.

Get tickets here!

Thursday Night Wine Trivia
2024-09-05 18:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Do you know the main grape of Barolo and Barbaresco? The major grapes of a Bordeaux blend? The name of a California Bordeaux blend? If so, get down here, get a delicious (cold!) drink in your hand, and play to win a bottle of Allimant Cremant. Tasty beverages, wine trivia, music deep cut bonus rounds, a prize that sparkles, what else could you ask for? Come early, get a drink and a table, and be ready for the first question at 6pm!

Visiting Winemaker: Filomena
2024-09-13 17:00 - 20:00 | CA
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 lineup, and be blown away by this distinctive, under-the-radar gem. Tickets are $25 in advance or $35 at the door.

Taste a Dozen Wines: South of France
2024-09-19 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
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 that exceptional wines are available at prices lower than their quality justifies. We’re going to taste a wide range of wines, from Mourvèdre from Bandol, to Carignan, Grenache, and Roussanne from the Languedoc, to Cinsault and Grenache Blanc/Clairette from Provence. We’ll taste white, rosé, red, and even an absolutely delicious dessert wine that will become your new evening habit. This is a great way to dive in and get a broad view of a fascinating winemaking region. Purchase your tickets here. See you there!

Wines with Age
2024-09-20 17:00 - 20:00 | CA
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 drunk immediately upon release or shortly thereafter.
Join us this Friday at the wine bar to drink wine that has been aged appropriately. Interested in trying a 14 year old Chardonnay from the winemaker at Kistler…by the glass? Or how about a 2010 Muscadet by the glass? Or a 25 year old Zinfandel drinking beautifully for under $100 a bottle? Or a 30 year old Merlot, also for under $100. We’ll be featuring a large array of wines available by the glass and bottle, at great values. This is a little preview into what we hope the future of Outer Space looks like, so come join us and let us know if you want to see more evenings like this one!

Desire Lines
2024-09-27 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
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 is an incredible incubator for talent, especially for making the types of wines that we really enjoy–great sense of place, balanced, interesting, delicious. We first tasted Desire Lines a couple months ago, and their Sauvignon Blanc remains probably my favorite discovery since taking over Outer Space. Frankly, I think the Sauvignon Blanc is an absolute revelation: the kind of wine that comes along and changes your entire perspective on a varietal, but I digress…
Join us at the shop along with the Desire Lines team to taste through their lineup. From delicious Riesling(S!), to revelatory Sauvignon Blanc, to Cabernets from unexpected places, we’re going to be pouring a full compliment of their wines. Come learn directly from the owners about their brand, their winemaking, and their vision. It’s going to be a fun evening with absolutely delicious wines. Can’t wait to see you there.

Aged Chardonnay Night
2024-10-03 17:30 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
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, the triumphant return of Bring-A-Bottle events. Bring a good bottle of Chardonnay from 2020 or before and come ready to taste and chat aged Chardonnay. For my part, I’ll be bringing one of our favorite new producers: 2013 Pont Neuf ‘Le Pont Neuf’ Chardonnay. We recently got the 2022 Pont Neuf in and are in love with it, so we can’t wait to see what a bottle with age is like.
We’re going to open up the cellar and have lots of really cool pre-2020 Chardonnays for sale if you don’t have one of your own to bring. And, we’ll have some great cheeses out to complete the experience. Please try to arrive by 6 so all the wines get here at once. Cost of event is $10 and a bottle.

Aged Wine Night in the Wine Bar
2024-10-05 17:00 - 21:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
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 fantastic bottles. How about a 2004 Corison Syrah? a 1980 Dehlinger Zin? 2011 Pahlmeyer Petit Verdot? 2006 Rhys Alpine Pinot? And, of course, lots of aged Chardonnay. We have a great selection of old bottles by the glass, a huge list of wines under $100, and we are pumped to get you in here and drinking the good stuff!
Per usual, check our instagram for some of the bottles we’ll have!

Robert Sinskey Vineyards Tasting
2024-10-10 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
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 just for this event. Can’t wait to see you. 5-8pm. Tickets are $30.

Burgundy We Can Afford Class With Dan Dawson
2024-10-17 18:00 - 19:30 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
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 to simply shop from the next town over to find great wine for affordable prices. Come to Outer Space Wines on two days: Thursday October 17 and/or Thursday October 24 for class and tasting of Burgundy we all can afford.
We’ll enjoy 8 Burgundies: sparkling, whites and reds spanning all the regions within Burgundy. Dan will start with an introduction to Burgundy before discussing the who, what and where of each wine. This is a great tasting for all levels of Burgundy knowledge as Dan welcomes the beginner with frank information and the experienced with new wines and new perspectives.
Wines will be available for purchase with pick-up the following week.
Same theme, different wines at the two classes, so you will enjoy attending both classes if you can (and you get a discount).
Burgundy We Can Afford Line-Up for October 17 Tasting:
Dominique Piron Crémant de Bourgogne $25
Guilhem & Jean-Hugues Goisot Saint Bris “Corps de Garde” Sauvignon Gris 2022 $33

Visiting Winemaker from Arnot-Roberts
2024-10-25 17:00 - 20:00 | CA
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 true.
Nathan Roberts, one of the two founders of Arnot-Roberts will be in the house this Friday pouring the following lineup of current release wines:

Sauvignon Blanc, Yorkville Highlands
Chardonnay, Watson Ranch, Napa (side note, I always thought this wine was a gift to collectors, because it’s incredibly good, but half the price of their other Chards)
Trousseau, North Coast
Gamay Noir, El Dorado
Syrah, North Coast

Also, as mentioned, we’re pulling fun stuff from the cellar to round out the event. These wines all age beautifully.
This is a very special and rare opportunity. Do NOT miss it!

Some wines are special, rare, and different, and you hardly ever get to taste them. Some of them are “acquired tastes,” but how do you acquire the taste without putting out for an expensive bottle? Well, this is the event to solve that. The wines that we drink around the Holidays are some of these acquired tastes, and we want to share our Holiday traditions with you. We’ll be drinking aged Alsatian whites, Vin Jaune, Barolo Chinato, Trockenbeerenauslese and more.
