How do we choose wines for our collection?
We taste wine, alot of wine. But before we taste, each wine has to hit at least one of the following criteria:

  • Under 1000 cases in production
  • 90 points or better
  • Gold Medal Winner

What this means is that there isn't a bad bottle of wine in the store. Here's a current list of our wines. This list is constantly evolving so check back regularly. We update about once a month and we're happy to special order your favorite case.

What is Wine Surfing®?
Wine Surfing is fun and easy and doesn't require any more coordination than putting a wine glass to your lips. It's a unique Gourmet au Bay experience and people from all over the world come here to enjoy it on our deck. Here's how it works:

1. Identify three wines you'd like to try from our daily menu
2. Observe as 2 ounces is poured into each glass on a specially designed surfboard

(available for sale in the gift shop!)
3. Take your board to the deck and enjoy!

Stay a while and hang out with us!
Enjoy any bottle in the shop and take what you don't finish with you. There is no corkage fee!
