Tasting the Diversity of West Coast Wines at Our Omaha Wine Shop
The West Coast of the U.S. offers incredible wine diversity thanks to an immense range of terroirs and microclimates perfectly suited to grapes. At Pacific Cellars, our Omaha wine shop brings in the best artisanal bottles from this world-class region for you to explore and enjoy.
Washington’s Unique and Diverse Terroirs
Washington wines showcase a wide range of bold, intense reds along with elegant, mineral-driven whites. The state’s incredibly varied terrain – from rainforests in the west to high desert in central Washington – produces excellent Rieslings, Chardonnays, Cabernets and more. Be sure to stop by our shop to taste the crisp Chardonnay coming from Columbia Valley AVAs like Yakima and Red Mountain, known for minerality. And don’t miss the complex, age-worthy Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the central part of the state, where long sunlight hours and cool nights create ideal ripening conditions for bold reds.
Oregon’s Renowned Pinot Noirs
Oregon built its reputation on producing velvety, complex Pinot Noirs that balance intensity of fruit with high acidity and vivid aromatics. The Willamette Valley’s cool climate allows Pinot Noir grapes to slowly ripen while retaining their acid backbone and developing a multitude of flavors. At our shop, you can sample the stunning range of Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs along with fresh, fruit-driven Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc.
California’s Endless Wine Diversity
From quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons to the cool climate Pinot Noirs of Santa Barbara, California offers seemingly endless world-class wines. But beyond even the classics, we source eclectic artisanal bottles from small producers throughout the state – think orange wines from the Sierra Foothills, sparkling Barbera from Mendocino, and Rhone varietals from Paso Robles. Our shop lets you taste the innovative edge of California wine.
Weekly Public Tastings
Every Thursday evening from 5-8 p.m., Pacific Cellars offers by-the-glass public tastings showcasing our current West Coast selections. It’s a fantastic way to explore and compare different appellations and wine styles side-by-side. Can’t make it in? No worries – our wine shop is open Tuesday through Sunday.
