Taste a Dozen: Georgia
2025-03-21 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Taste a dozen wines from the country of Georgia, Friday, March 21st from 5-8pm at Outer Space.
Georgia has an 8000 year old winemaking tradition that has all of the elements we love when it comes to wine: unique, indigenous grapes, idiosyncratic winemaking methods, and regional diversity. The country is roughly the size of New Jersey, but has a huge mountain range (the Caucus Mountains), coastal influence (the Black Sea), and borders Turkey and is only 100 miles from Iran. Most of the wines are made in clay amphora buried underground called qvevri. Lots of the wines are made with extended skin contact, even the whites, which they call Amber wines.
Here’s the lineup of wines we’re tasting:
Guardians, Kakheti Rkatsiteli (2022)
Baia’s Wine, Tsitska Tsolikouri (2021)
Chona’s Marani, Rkatsiteli (2021)
Teliani Valley, Glekhuri Kisi Qvevri Amber Dry (2020)
Pataridze’s Rachuli, Rachuli Rosé (2022)
Teliani Valley, W97 Saperavi (2023)
Château Mukhrani, Tavkveri Dry Red (2017)
Château Mukhrani, Goruli Mtsvane (2021)
Gvantsa’s Wine, Aladasturi Rosé (2021)
Dilao, Rkatsiteli Mtsvane Amber Dry (2022)
Gvantsa’s Wine, Pet Nat Tsitska (2023)
Chona’s Marani Saperavi

Special Guest: Vom Boden
2025-03-26 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Stephen Bitterolf is doing one of the coolest things in the wine world right now: finding the greatest undiscovered producers in (mostly) Germany and importing them into the US. In 10 years, several of the producers he represents have gone from obscurity to winemaking stardom. There’s a lot of cool Riesling producers out there, but if you’re really cool, you’re generally in Vom Boden’s (still tiny) book (there are notable exceptions here). We met Stephen while we were living in New York, and we are so excited that the one event he’s going to do while he’s in Napa is at Outer Space.
We’ll be tasting a sampling of several producers he represents. Don’t miss this opportunity to taste with the new Godfather of German Wine Imports. Mark this date off on your calendar, get your shift covered, call your favorite babysitter, because this tasting will not disappoint!

2025-03-28 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
When winemakers come in with bottles for us to taste, most often we like a few, and others less so. When Jenny Lynn came in with her wines from Olet’te and Tribe & Arrow, we were floored by how delicious they were across the board. I think we carry four or five separate wines from her right now. So, I’m very excited to have her come and pour a lineup of her wines for all of you.
Join us on Friday, March 28, from 5-8pm, when Jenny will pour a selection of her wines: Pinot, Chardonnay, Cab Franc/Merlot, and Cabernet.

Friday 9.12.25 - Rare Gems from Portugal
2025-09-12 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
For over a century, the Bussaco Palace Hotel in Portugal has been quietly producing some of the country’s most fascinating wines—wines that almost no one outside the hotel ever had the chance to taste. Since 1917, they’ve crafted just three wines each year—a white, a red, and a rosé—blending grapes from both Dão and Bairrada (a rebellious move in Portugal’s tightly regulated system). The red is typically a mix of Baga and Touriga Nacional, while the white features Encruzado, Bical, and Maria Gomes.
These wines were once served exclusively in the hotel’s dining room—you couldn’t even buy a bottle to take upstairs. With their elegant, age-worthy style and legendary scarcity, they’ve become a cult treasure for insiders. Only recently have tiny quantities been exported, making this an incredibly rare chance to taste them in California.
When: Friday, 5–8 PM (remarks at ~6 PM)
Price: $30 for all three wines, free for Social Club Members

I don’t know whether the best way to sell this event is “Rioja: so much more than Tempranillo” or “Rioja: Taste Legendary Tempranillo.” So let’s go with both.
Friday night we’ll be tasting an incredible Rioja lineup that includes a broad array of Rioja. Want to taste legendary Tempranillo-based wines like Lopez de Heredias 2012 Viña Tondonia (the benchmark Rioja) and a 1970 Paternina. Want to try classic Rioja aged for 13-55 years? This is your tasting.
We’ll also be tasting a range of other Rioja—two whites (Viura, Maturana Blanca), Grenache from 80 year old vines, and a more modern style Rioja blend, just for context. Additionally, we’ll have some other back vintage Rioja available if you catch the bug!
Tasting is from 5-8, with remarks about Rioja from the importer at 6pm. So, bring your questions and come ready to learn about Spain’s most famous region.
We will be serving Spanish inspired snack plates as well.
The tasting is $40 or FREE for social club members!

Friday Night Flight: Produttori del Barbaresco
2026-02-06 17:00 - 20:00 | Outer Space Wines, 974 Franklin St., Napa, CA, 94559, United States
Join us on Friday, February 6, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM for an evening dedicated to one of Italy’s greatest wine treasures: Produttori del Barbaresco.
Since its founding in 1958, the Produttori has served as the reference point for classic Barbaresco. Born out of the economic hardships of the 1950s, the cooperative began when a local parish priest organized 19 struggling growers to produce wine communally. This spirit of community remains at the heart of the winery today, with roughly 60 members now owning the lion’s share of the region’s most prestigious vineyards.
During this tasting, you will experience the results of the Produttori’s steadfast traditionalism. While many modern producers moved toward short macerations and small oak barrels (barriques), the Produttori remains committed to traditional methods, including long primary fermentations and aging for up to three years in large wooden botti. This approach yields “gloriously transparent wines” that allow the distinct character of the Barbaresco’s clay and limestone terroir to shine through.
We will start with their entry level Langhe Nebbiolo before exploring 4 of their single-vineyard Riservas.
