Provenance Wines.

As wine.

Provenance — origin, terroir, the lineage of place and hand. The wine world's word, always. The word that belongs here too. Every bottle on this wall is real wine: the grapes, the land, the vintage.

These are wines made by people who refused the usual compromise. The alcohol is drawn away under vacuum, nothing else touched — so structure, acidity, and finish stay exactly where the winemaker left them. Tasted blind, several have surprised people who pour wine for a living.

What follows is the selection. Every bottle chosen by the house, kept with intention.

Every bottle below is rated on the Rienne Index™

We do not score. We read. THE RIENNE INDEX™ locates each wine on four axes — Nose, Arc, Weight, Stay — the four-petal mark inked one to four, quiet to pronounced. A Reading is a location, not a grade. Open any bottle for its full Reading.

The Pour

For the table, the toast. Bolle, twice-fermented in Burgundy — a still Chardonnay Reserve and a sparkling Grand Reserve. Woody's, farmed like wine in Mendocino — its Blanc de Blancs and Sparkling Rosé.
