Tamaya Red Blends
Chilean red blends, poured honestly in Commack since day one.
The story behind Tamaya
Tamaya comes out of Chile, a country that has quietly become one of the most reliable sources of value red wine on earth. The Central Valley grows Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon in volume, and the blends built from them tend to be soft, dark fruited, and easy to like without asking much of your wallet. That is the house character here: ripe, generous, and built for a Tuesday.
We have poured Tamaya for years because it does the unglamorous work well. The red blend sits at a price where you can open a bottle on a weeknight and not think twice, and the Carmenere Reserva gives you a little more depth for a few dollars more. It is not a wine to overthink. It is a wine to drink with dinner.

Which Tamaya is right for you?
Tamaya is priced to be opened, not saved. The Sauvignon Blanc runs $6.99, the Carmenere Reserva $10.99, and the Red Blend $11.99. That is a full mixed case for under $150, which is the sort of math that keeps a house stocked. Buy a bottle to try, or build a case and let the reds settle in for the winter.
