Phantom Wine
Phantom Wines is more than something you drink—it’s something you feel. Born under cover of night and shaped by Delta fog, each bottle is a tribute to legacy, mystery, and the quiet artistry of winemaking. Crafted with intention and rooted in six generations of farming, these wines speak to something just out of reach—felt more than seen.

Orin Swift Wines
Orin Swift is a brand rooted in uncompromising creativity, a celebration of artistry, and a spirit of approachable innovation. Led by Winemaker and Creative Director Dave Phinney, the brand follows a simple yet powerful philosophy: source the best fruit from the best vineyards, farm it with care, harvest with precision, bring it into the winery—and don’t screw it up. The Orin Swift collection features high-quality California wines with a legacy of pushing boundaries and setting trends. Its latest release, Advice from John Merlot, blends art, storytelling, and unconventional winemaking. This is not the Merlot of the past—it’s bold, velvety, luscious, and fun.
Moselland Cat
According to legend, three wine merchants came to the town of Zell in Germany to buy wine. They were about to sample wine when a black cat suddenly jumped on the barrel and arched its back and swiped its paw at anyone who approached it. The wine merchants chose the barrel guarded by the cat thinking it held the best wine and thus, Zeller Schwarze Katz (the black cat of Zell) was born. This unique Cat shaped bottle of Riesling (off dry) or Pinot Noir wine is available in many colors to celebrate your favorite holiday or season. Imported from Germany by Halby Marketing Inc.
Available for purchase at World Market stores nationwide (except Tennessee), Harris Teeter, Total Wine & More, The Fresh Market, select Kroger and Whole Foods locations, and Safeway in Oregon.
Sorso Wine
Sorso is a revolutionary wine system that pours, aerates, and preserves — all in one elegant device. It attaches directly to your wine bottle and, with the press of a button, delivers a smooth, measured pour — from a tasting sip to a full glass. As it flows, Sorso infuses oxygen into the wine, instantly enhancing flavor, aroma, and texture — unlocking the taste usually reserved for wines that have been decanted for hours. And when the night winds down? Sorso’s vacuum-seal technology locks in freshness for up to 30 days, so no bottle ever goes to waste.
Born from a love of wine and a passion for simplicity, Sorso transforms how you enjoy every bottle. It’s not just about drinking wine — it’s about elevating every moment you pour
