Welcome to Pourtal
Load up a Pourtal Tasting Card and take a trip to every wine region without the passport!
The concept of Pourtal allows you to taste 40 ever-changing wines by the ounce with an additional 30+ labels by the glass, including dessert wine and grower champagnes.
With a rotating selection of boutique, cult, vintage & value-driven wines that truly represent their terroir, our innovative Enomatic system allows you to taste what would normally be a $10 to $70 glass in a restaurant for a fraction of the price.
All wines are priced by the ounce, so you decide what to try and how much to spend. Whatever amount you don’t use at the end of your journey we will gladly refund to your tab. Click for “Step by Step” illustration.
Experiment and learn about the world of wine with our thematic “Tasting Tours”, spotlighting regions, varietals, styles or just fun concepts. Consult with our staff or read our custom tasting notes provided with each wine. Our wine selection changes monthly to highlight the seasons, trends, and variety the world of wine has to offer.

Our “green goals” include providing a high proportion of “Nature Wines” that are beholden to the commitment of sulphur-free and organic grape growing, or drawn from the culture of “Bio-Dynamism”. Mindful of this, we attempt to leave as small an imprint as possible through our search for sustainably raised grapes from wine farmers.
Our trained staff is knowledgeable, service-oriented and effortlessly casual with the goal of providing a friendly, accessible and
entertaining atmosphere.

Tablas Creek Tasting with Winemaker Jason Haas  Join us in welcoming Jason Haas of Tablas Creek Vineyard from Paso Robles Wine Country for a special tasting of his wines. Tablas Creek Vineyard was founded by the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and Robert Haas, longtime importer and founder of Vineyard Brands. They chose the hilly Las Tablas district of west Paso Robles for its similarities to Châteauneuf du Pape: limestone soils, a favorable climate, and rugged terrain. The partners imported the traditional varietals grown on the Perrins’ celebrated estate, including Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Counoise for reds, and Roussanne, Viognier, Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc for whites. These imported vines passed a rigorous 3-year USDA testing program, and are propagated and grafted in an on-site nursery. All Tablas Creek wines are estate grown and organically farmed.
