Our wine list Wine has a special way of telling a story in every bottle. From the label to the enclosure to the wine itself. Wine takes us on a journey to a unique place and time- where the stars aligned and somebody somewhere made the decision to pick fruit off the vines and turn it into wine. All of the wines on this list have been hand-selected (I know, it's a tough job). They are from winemakers and growers who have their own special story to tell, who care about the planet, and who place great emphasis on understanding and respecting the natural wonders of making wine. Just like winemaking, music also has a special way of telling a story. Music is really important to us here at La Volata. Not only do we have a handful of musicians on our staff, but we all just really love music. This wine list pays homage to some of our favorite songs by correlating our wines with lyrics that describe how that wine tastes. How to use this wine list: We have categorized this list first by type of wine (white, pink, red) then by style (light-body, medium-body & full-body), and lastly by any notable characteristics of the wine (earthy, fruity, natural). We hope our song selections will guide you to a wine you'll love. If you need further assistance, owner and Certified Sommelier, Lori Driscoll, or our WSET certified manager, Nicole, can assist in discovering your new favorite wine. Cheers!

Our wine list

Wine has a special way of telling a story in every bottle. From the label to the enclosure to the wine itself. Wine takes us on a journey to a uniqueplace and time- where the stars aligned and somebody somewhere made the decision

to pick fruit off the vines and turn it into wine.

All of the wines on this list have been hand-selected (I know, it's a tough job).They are from winemakers and growers who have their own special story to tell,

who care about the planet, and who place great emphasis on understanding and respecting the natural wonders of making wine.

Just like winemaking, music also has a special way of telling a story. Music is really

important to us here at La Volata. Not only do we have a handfulof musicians on our staff, but we all just really love music. This wine list pays

homage to some of our favorite songs by correlating our wines withlyrics that describe how that wine tastes.

How to use this wine list:

We have categorized this list first by type of wine (white, pink, red) then bystyle (light-body, medium-body & full-body), and lastly by any notable characteristics

of the wine (earthy, fruity, natural). We hope our song selections will guide you to a wine you'll love. If you need further assistance, owner and Certified Sommelier, Lori Driscoll, or

our WSET certified manager, Nicole, can assist in discovering your new favorite wine. Cheers!

The wines on repeat...Maybe new and interesting, maybe something we've had and rediscovered...

either way, each of these wines is worth trying. And if you don't love it, that's ok because we'll be so happy to drink it ourselves!

tiny bubbles in my wine make me feel happy2019 domaine glivanos, paleokerisio, debina & vlahiko, Ioannina, greece 30

A unique in its kind orange, semi-sparkling and semi-dry wine, which impresses with its distinctive and totally traditional vinification. The little natural carbonate reveals the richness of flavours and aromas with a

sweetness that blends in with all the other elements.

orange colored sky2020 lumen 'escence', pinot gris, santa barbara county, california 58Lumen Escence is the first orange wine ever produced by Lumen. The grapes were picked a few weeks early, which means they had low sugars and high acidity, then fermented on the skins for a full 12 days. The resulting wine is full

of character: meyer lemon, orange zest, grapefruit rind and wet stone minerality.

it's a big blue Spanish sky2018 anayon, cariñena, cariñena, spain 70

Mid-toned ruby color with intense sweet aromas of cherries, raspberry jam and chocolate. It is wine full of ripe fruit with flavor sensations of chewy cherries, licorice and red apples. The finish is long and complex with the

smoky oak sensations hinting through.

i'm a problem child2019 linne colado 'problem child', red blend, paso robles, california 122

78% zin, 12% syrah, 5% carignan, 5% gracianoAs your nose approaches the glass, you can almost imagine a smoked

cherry cobbler cooling inside. Wild black raspberries, late summer tomatoes, and roasted fennel are all there on the pallet, with a bright

red fruit pop in the mid pallet to keep you on your toes.
