At Out There, wine and music are intertwined forms of cultural expression. We value bottles and records that are deeply rooted with their producers and evoke a sense of time, place, and pleasure…and we take great joy in sharing them with you!
To celebrate our second anniversary (!!) and the first full year of the Club (!!), this quarter brings together exciting wines from Germany and the latest album from one of our favorite Japanese artists.
When we opened to the doors of this lil’ wine bar inside a vintage Shell gas station by the beach two years ago, we were driven by our enthusiasm for sharing the wine, food, music, and art that inspire us with all of you.
To celebrate our second anniversary (!!) and the first full year of the Club (!!), it only seems fitting to showcase incredible wines from the vom Boden portfolio this quarter.
vom Boden primarily imports German wines handcrafted by winemakers working at a very small, human scale of production. These wines are little treasures that were undoubtedly created, as the vom Boden motto goes, “Never for Money, Always for Love.”
The wines this quarter highlight both one of our absolute favorite winemakers as well as two relative newcomers to the scene who demonstrate various ways the future of wine in Germany is evolving.
Speaking of treasures from around the world, we are thrilled to share the brand-new album from one of our favorite Japanese artists, Shintaro Sakamoto.
SUMMER 2026 WINES
Leipold 'Silvaner Kabinett Trocken' 25 - This is basically everything we love about Peter’s wines – AND it’s a Kabinett Trocken AND in liter format. We swoon. The bottling is light and fresh, beautiful herbal notes, rainwater citrus, a bevvy of garden greens and a lovely percolating acidity. Just absolutely transparent wine that feels like it bubbled up from a spring.
Stein ‘Rosé Trocken’ 25 - Our favorite rebel/activist in the Mosel, Ulli Stein is one of the world’s most soulful growers. This is one of the few rosés from the Mosel and has become a cult favorite. Shimmering, dry with rigorous acidity.
Stein 'Riesling Blauschiefer Trocken' 24 - From his prime holdings in the village of Sankt-Aldegund from average vines of 60 years, ungrafted and on steep slopes. As the label indicates this wine is a calling card for Blue Slate (Blauschiefer), rocks pulverized into liquid form with a brisk and beautiful acidity. Totally dry or “Trocken”.
Roterfaden & Rosswag 'Terraces Red' 22 - A blend of mostly Lemberger with a dash of Trollinger and Pinot. If this region had a claim to fame - or something that it was proud of and widly planted, it would be the Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch). They are always nervier, fresher and bluer fruited than their Austrian counterparts.
SUMMER 2026 RECORD
Shintaro Sakamoto - ‘Yoo-hoo’
Yoo-hoo... a quiet whisper from behind the curtain, a beacon in the darkness guiding you through the night.
Shintaro Sakamoto's fifth solo album is an intimate dreamscape; subtle Brazilian grooves overlayed with swooning steel guitar, breathy flute and crooning saxophone, centered by Sakamoto's hypnotic, melancholy vocal delivery.
Psychedelic Exotica from a ghost town on the other side of time!
