Wine-of-the-Month Club
Led by Sommelier and Wine Director, Chris Russo (named San Diego's "Sommelier of the Year" for six consecutive years), NINE-TEN's "Wine of the Month" Club features a new wine each month, taking you on an excursion of local and global varietals and vineyards -- each complementing our globally-inspired, locally-sourced cuisine.
These special featured wines are offered at a 50% discount on Wednesdays, and a 20% discount every Thursday through Sunday during lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.
March Wine-of-the-Month:
Kobayashi Winery, Syrah, Washington State, 2021
(regular retail price: $180)
Winemaker Travis Allen, a San Diego native, met his wife Mario at SDSU, caught the wine bug, and decided to forgo his career as a nurse anesthetist and focus on producing unique, small-production wines from top sites in Washington state. Over the last several years the Allen's have taken the Washington wine scene by storm, producing some of the flat-out best domestic wines I have ever tasted. This Syrah is stunning, redolent of cool blue fruit, tar, spice, and ash. Unapologetically New-World while still paying homage to its Old-World roots (Travis Allen studied with some of the top names in Rhône, France). If you haven’t heard of these wines, consider yourselves warned…this is Washington’s next big thing.
