Dry, refreshing, and bursting with energy! The bubbles release aromas of pear, apple, and peach. On the palate, it offers a hint of spice and a crisp sensation. A fun and lively Prosecco that’s sure to kick off any occasion right

Made from the native grape Xinomavro, this one sure is Greek to me—and probably to you too! But hey, the producer, Kir-Yianni, has crafted this native variety into one of the most aromatic and delicious wines around. Its bright wild strawberry notes suggest sweetness, but it finishes completely dry and balanced

Look out — this wine list is on fire! Three half flutes are placed before you. One is Prosecco, one is a Spanish Cava, and the last is the real deal—true Champagne. Your task is to identify all three, and if you succeed, you’ll be a Champ-ion! You know what they say, ‘No ‘pagne, no gain!’

One of the most intriguing wines from France is unapologetically pink, slightly sweet, and bubbly. This wine hails not from a town or even a small village, but from the tiniest of hamlets in the south of France. Typically enjoyed as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with our array of Chocolate Boards and Crème Brûlée

Everyone seems to love a crisp New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but there's a Spanish white wine that wants to challenge the beloved Kiwi to a dance-off. Entering the discotheque is Pardevalles, a white wine made from the ultra-unknown Albarín varietal. This rare grape type is indigenous to Northwest Spain, and is suspiciously close to a New Zealand Sauv. So can you identify the Kiwi? Is the beloved Sauvy B the star, or is the Albarín taking the crown?

Austrian winemaker, Stift Gœttweig, has been cultivating vines for nearly one thousand years producing Messwein, or
Altar wine, under strict guidelines set by the bishop. It must obey precise alcohol requirements, be made from noble varietals,
and, of course, remain natural and unaltered— from the Earth, by God. You can expect a baptismal Grüner Veltliner chock-full of passion fruit, pineapple, grapefruit, and its signature element of white pepper

Two French white wines are placed before you. One hails from the renowned region of Sancerre. This French region has produced sought-after white wines for over a thousand years! But there’s a challenger looking to give Sancerre a run for its money: Jacques Dumont's Sauvignon Blanc from just outside Sancerre, in the Loire. Can you identify the true Sancerre? Is the other a worthy competitor at a third of the price? Prefer just a glass of the Sancerre? It’s only $22. 00

Albariño from Spain and Alvarinho from Portugal may have different names, but they’re the exact same grape. Both produce dry, lighter-styled white wines, yet there are subtle differences. Spanish Albariños tend to be fuller-bodied and a bit less aromatic than their Portuguese counterparts, with a touch more minerality. Folks, this one isn’t easy, but it sure is a fun one

If you think you know Chardonnay—and have concluded they all suck—I implore you to try these two wines. First, a French Premier Cru Chablis from Bernard Defaix called Côte de Lechet, one of the finest Chablis expressions I’ve tasted in the past year. The second, Imber from Statera Cellars in Willamette, Oregon, will challenge everything you thought you knew about Chardonnay. Trust me, this one is unlike any Chard you’ve ever had!

This Riesling might just be the white wine of the year! Technically a dry wine, its ripe fruit hints at a subtle touch of sweetness, adding to its charm. With only 237 cases produced, it’s a rare find. While a bottle retails for over $40, you can enjoy a glass here for just fourteen bucks—an exceptional value

It’s sweet, and it’s freaking out-of-this-world awesome! Super peachy, with a frizzante (slightly sparkling) texture that keeps it light and ultra-refreshing. Milly's rotates and features the best Moscatos on the market today. It’s candy in a glass!

Orange wine reigns as the hottest wine style among cool drinkers. But have you discovered the latest rage, Pét-Nat? Simply put, Pét-Nat is a sparkling wine made in a style that predates Champagne. Try 'em both and see what all the kids are into these days. We receive Orange wines and Pét-Nats weekly for consideration, and we offer the best discoveries of both here

As we celebrate Spain and the Mediterranean, it’s only apropos to present two Greek Rosés for your enjoyment. At the time of this writing, the freshest 2024 vintages of our beloved Provençal French Rosés are still crossing the pond. With rosé, freshest is typically best—but fortunately, we have a super-fresh 2024 Greek Rosé from producer Zoe that literally just landed! We also present a slightly older Greek Rosé, Mountain Sun, from the 2023 vintage that’s defying all logic and holding strong. Will the fresher selection automatically be better, or can an old favorite persevere and win?

The recent trend of Orange Wines and Pét-Nats is totally your jam, but are you ready to go Back to the Future? This pairing features two Rosé-based wines infused with botanicals. The first, called Bottle Rocket, was crafted by scientists to capture the unique euphoria of Mezcal and blend it into a Rosé. The second wine, called Vermut Flores, smells like Chinese Five Spice and is Vermouth-inspired. As Marty McFly said, 'I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are going to love it!’

Two thrilling half glasses of red wine are placed before you. Simply put, one is a Burgundy and one is not. Correctly identify the ‘Ron Burgundy,’ and you may find yourself in a glass case of emotion! Honestly, Burgundy can sometimes disappoint. But here, you’re guaranteed to experience a stunning Burgundy alongside another killer contender. Can you correctly identify the Ron Burgundy?

Years ago, I was seated with six or more Master Sommeliers for dinner in California. This was quite a high concentration of Master Somms, given that there are only 273 in the world! The moment was tense with anticipation when the server brought over the wine list. What wines do Master Sommeliers order? It turns out they zero in on great wines that are—get this—very inexpensive! So, go ahead and savor the Master Sommelier-approved red wine currently in rotation

For centuries, Italian Barolo has been hailed as the 'King of Wines.' Made from the Nebbiolo grape, its hallmark characteristics are intense concentration and robust structure. Here we present the King, a rotating Nebbiolo from Barolo for your consideration. Yes, anything from Barolo can cost you an arm and three legs, but value Nebbiolo does exist beyond the ‘foot of the mountain.’ So here, we bring you the Joker to challenge the King. This Joker Nebbiolo hails from the larger Langhe region in Piedmont. Can you crown the King and expose the Joker?

Discovering incredible value-driven wines is important in a sea of overpriced offerings. Here we present you with a rotating selection that won’t break the budget. You don't need to spend a fortune to get an exceptional glass here at Milly's. Just ask your server what's being poured. If you prefer a Happy Hour White, we have that too

Samantha Sheehan crafts excellent wines under the Ultraviolet label. Her Cabernet is a testament to extraordinary balance with grapes sourced from Ukiah, an area in Mendocino. Unlike the bold, oak-laden styles often associated with Napa, this wine takes a different approach—offering a pure, honest snapshot of the vineyard. Expect a more feminine, nuanced herbal character rather than an overpowering jam bomb. Well done, Samantha!

The most recognizable wine region in Spain is Rioja. Spaniards prefer their Rioja reds fully mature, so
much so that there are three designations, each requiring different aging periods before release:
Crianza (24 months), Reserva (36 months), and Gran Reserva (60 months!). However, a new movement
is emerging, with a few rebellious wineries opting to release their Tempranillo fresh. Here, we present
two quality Riojas: a 2019 Crianza and a super fresh 2021. Is the movement justified?

The 2021 Two Mountain Syrah out of Washington State is one of the finest expressions of Syrah we've encountered in a long time. While Cabernet and Pinot Noir rule the roost for most wine lovers, Syrah remains more of a black sheep. But who’s the darkest black sheep of all? That title goes to Lagrein, a rare Italian grape with only 1,000 acres planted worldwide, and finding a stellar example is a rare delight. Can you pin down the Syrah and its elusive cousin, Lagrein?

With so many chillable red wines to choose from, committing to just one for this menu feels impossible. Each week, we sample several worthy contenders—so many, in fact, that we’ve decided to rotate them in one by one every couple of weeks. Just ask your server for the current #1 hit on the wine jukebox

What a fantastic red wine! Lambrusco is the grape, and refreshment is the game. Served chilled, it’s frizzante (slightly sparkling) and finishes with just the right amount of light sweetness. Embrace this wine!
