✨Buy the Bottle TONIGHT • Chenin Blanc✨

Chenin Blanc is one of the Loire Valley’s most versatile grapes, capable of producing an incredible range of styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. From the crisp, mineral-driven wines of Savennières to the rich and age-worthy expressions of Vouvray, Chenin can move from bone dry to beautifully sweet while always maintaining its signature acidity.

The South of France has a long and diverse history of winemaking, with a wide range of grapes, landscapes, and traditions that make the region incredibly exciting to explore. From the coastal vineyards of Provence to the hills of Languedoc and Roussillon, the region produces everything from refreshing rosé to rich, textured whites and complex reds. Over the years, a number of producers have risen to almost cult-like status, gaining recognition for their unique approach and the incredible quality of their wines.

The Other Old World explores the ancient wine cultures that exist beyond the regions most commonly associated with European winemaking. These regions represent some of the oldest traditions of grape cultivation and winemaking in history. Home to indigenous varieties, unique landscapes, and centuries of preserved techniques, these wines offer a glimpse into the origins of wine itself while showcasing the continued evolution of these historic regions. A journey through the Other Old World is a reminder that great wine has always existed far beyond the traditional boundaries we often associate with the category.

A huge controversy in the mid-80s led to Austria becoming home to one of the highest ratios of fine wine in the world. With Grüner Veltliner leading the way as its most recognizable grape, along with stunning Riesling, Austria makes truly spectacular whites, but it doesn’t stop there. Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt produce a wide range of complex reds, showing that Austria’s wine scene extends far beyond its famous white varieties.

Textured white wines showcase a side of white wine that extends beyond freshness and acidity, placing equal emphasis on depth, structure, and mouthfeel. Through thoughtful winemaking choices such as lees aging and oak maturation, along with the natural characteristics of certain grape varieties that lend themselves to greater weight and complexity, these wines offer a different perspective on what white wine can be. Produced in regions around the world, textured whites demonstrate how variety, terroir, and technique come together to create wines that are layered, expressive, and defined as much by their presence as their sense of place.

Orange wine is one of the oldest styles of winemaking in the world, produced by fermenting white grapes with their skins, a practice that predates modern winemaking by thousands of years. Though often viewed as a recent trend, its roots trace back to ancient traditions that continue today in regions like Georgia, while producers across the globe have embraced the style through a contemporary lens. The extended skin contact creates wines with greater texture and structure. More than a category, orange wine represents the intersection of history, tradition, and innovation, offering a perspective on white wine that is both ancient and refreshingly modern.

Chablis is one of the world’s clearest examples of how place can define a wine. Though made exclusively from Chardonnay, Chablis has earned its own identity through its cool northern climate and the region’s famed Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Its classification, from Petit Chablis to Grand Cru, reflects a deep understanding of site, where subtle differences in vineyard location create distinctly different expressions of the same grape. More than a style of Chardonnay, Chablis is a testament to the enduring relationship between geology, climate, and tradition.

Jura is a small but deeply influential wine region whose identity is shaped by tradition, distinctive winemaking practices, and its indigenous grapes, including Savagnin, Poulsard, and Trousseau. Nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland, Jura has cultivated a singular wine culture that celebrates authenticity and a profound sense of place, making it one of the most compelling regions for those seeking wines that exist nowhere else in the world.

We’re pouring Tenuta delle Terre Nere’s Etna Rosso and Etna Bianco tonight - the kind of wines that make you forget you’re in Denver and not on a volcano. Somehow it works.

Feeling fancy? We’ve also got one of their single-vineyard “Grand Cru” Contradas by the bottle. Limited pours, limited bottles, zero pretense required.

Come try what all the fuss is about. 🍷 by @tiger_somm

Chardonnay in the New World represents a shift in perspective from tradition-bound interpretations to a more exploratory, site-driven approach, where winemakers across regions like California, Australia, and beyond have redefined what the grape can be outside the conventions of the Old World. While early New World styles often emphasized immediacy and richness, a growing number of producers are now embracing restraint, structure, and extended élevage, crafting wines that are increasingly capable of aging and evolving with time.

@denverwestword put us on their “Sneaky Sips” list — four hidden wine treasures in Denver, apparently. Then they landed on the line we love: “the point is for it to be easy.”

Yeah. That’s the whole idea.

Chris has been quietly building a wine list with more range than a little ‘ol neigborhood restaurant like ours has any business having - and now it’s not so hidden. Want in before everyone else finds out? The wine club’s back, it’s in-house now, and it’s easy (obviously) - email kelly@pointeasydenver.com to sign up.
