Perry’s Fine Wines & Liquors Opens in Palm Springs to Celebrate 90 Year Anniversary for Perry’s of Provincetown
Perry’s Fine Wines & Liquors Opens in Palm Springs to Celebrate 90 Year Anniversary for Perry’s of Provincetown
Perry’s, the multi-award winning wine & liquor store, based in Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA, is thrilled to announce the official Opening of Perry’s Fine Wines & Liquors Palm Springs.
Perry’s Fine Wines & Liquors opens in Palm Springs
This exciting expansion marks a significant milestone in the history of Perry’s, as they bring their unique combination of service, selection and community commitment, that has made Perry’s a beloved institution in Provincetown, to the vibrant community of Palm Springs!
The year 2024 is not just another year for the Perry’s business; it marks 90 years since Bert Perry first opened the doors of his eponymous store in Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA. A pillar of the Provincetown community, Bert was known for his warmth, character and integrity, and ran his store for over 50 years.
Over the years since, successive owners have built on his legacy to create the much-loved, award-winning business it is today.
Charlie Greener and Billy Marshall, the current owners of Perry’s, bring their own unique story to the business’ legacy. The couple met in 2004 as crew members on a round-the-world sailing race, and during a stop in Boston at the end of the leg from Cape Town, South Africa, they were introduced to Provincetown. Captivated by the town’s stunning natural beauty and welcoming community, they returned year after year, drawn by the sense of joy and escape that the town offered.
Being passionate about wine
Being passionate about wine, the Perry’s store quickly became their first stop whenever they arrived in Provincetown, drawn in by the service, the selection and community spirit of the business.
“For us, so many of the best moments in Provincetown were made more special by a glass of something magical in hand, and Perry’s played a significant role in those experiences,” says Charlie.
In 2019, after successful global careers in marketing and management consultancy, Charlie (who grew up in the UK & who is now a US citizen) and Billy (born in Venezuela to Mexican and American parents, and who also holds UK citizenship) left their then-home in Mexico City to embrace their long-held passion for wine, and the opportunity to live full-time in Provincetown by taking over Perry’s.
Over the following years of managing and growing the Perry’s business, Charlie and Billy noticed that many of their Provincetown customers also spent significant time in Palm Springs. These loyal customers often urged them to bring Perry’s unique offering to California, seeking to enjoy Perry’s exceptional service year-round, on both coasts.
Upon visiting Palm Springs, Charlie and Billy fell in love with the city’s history, architecture and lifestyle. Though nearly 3,000 miles separate Provincetown and Palm Springs, their similarities —a spirit of escapism, community and the pursuit of the good life – are striking, all of which made Palm Springs the perfect choice to expand the business to.
As Perry’s celebrates its 90th anniversary, the opening of Perry’s Fine Wines & Liquors Palm Springs represents the continuation of a journey that began nearly a century ago of three guiding principles: service, selection, and community.
- Service: Perry’s prides itself on offering knowledgeable, friendly advice in a warm, inviting retail space that feels like home. Every detail—from the selection of wines to the tissue paper wrap as you open a case—is designed to make customers feel like family. With this ethos in mind, they run their home delivery service themselves (not via third parties) to ensure a seamless, high-quality experience for customers from the store to their door.
- Selection: Perry’s carefully curates a world-class collection of products. From Armenia to Australia, Paso Robles to Piedmont, well-known brands to hidden gems, from $11 to $2,900, and everywhere in-between, Perry’s ensures that there’s something for every palate, occasion, and budget. As well as wines & liquors, the store offers a hand-picked selection of cheeses, charcuterie, fresh grill-ready meats, and much more.
- Community: Wine brings people together, and Perry’s is committed to being an integral part of the communities it serves. Perry’s has a longstanding tradition of supporting local organizations, particularly those in the arts, contributing to the vitality of the year-round community.
“How Perry’s first made us feel as customers still guides us today, as the business evolves and grows,”
Billy Marshall.
“Our mission remains simple: to add joy to life’s special moments. Through our focus on service, selection, and community, we see ourselves as purveyors of joy—the joy of being together, the joy of elevating meals and experiences, and the joy of discovery.”

Elevated California cuisine right in the heart of Palm Springs
Canopy Wine Lounge is the first upscale wine lounge in the Coachella Valley, catering to locals, domestic, and international tourists.
With nearly 150 wines from around the world, amongst greats Lithology (St. Helena, CA), Waypoint (Napa, CA), Otronia (Patagonia, Argentina), and Alkina(Barossa Valley, South Australia), it promises an unforgettable experience where the world’s finest wines meet Executive Chef Kristin Puttkamer’s gourmet culinary delights.
Born and raised in the vibrant city of Boston, Kristin Puttkamer’s journey to becoming the esteemed Executive Chef at Canopy Wine Lounge in Palm Springs is marked by an exciting array of experiences and a passion for culinary excellence.
Puttkamer’s early exposure to different cultures ignited her love for food and hospitality.
Her travels with her grandmother across Europe, from Ireland to Germany, London to Italy, instilled in her a deep appreciation for diverse flavors and culinary traditions.
Puttkamer took an unexpected turn
After earning her Bachelor of Science in Media and Communications from New York University, Puttkamer took an unexpected turn by entering the finance sector.
She secured a position at Goldman Sachs, where she initially served as a Foreign Exchange Analyst before advancing to a managerial role. However, as her enthusiasm for the finance world in New York City waned, she decided to embark on an adventurous journey by biking across the country.
Where her heart truly belonged
This transformative experience led her to realize that her heart truly belonged to the West Coast.
Over the years, she laid down roots in Los Angeles where she worked at various talent agencies, managing numerous celebrities.
Puttkamer ultimately discovered that her genuine passion lay in the culinary arts.
Deciding to pursue this newfound calling, she courageously enrolled in culinary school at the age of 38, leaving behind her established career in entertainment. Puttkamer honed her skills through formal education at The Culinary Institute of America in Saint Helena, California.
During her studies, she embarked on an externship at the Michelin Star restaurant, State Bird, where her culinary prowess caught the attention of Darioush Winery. At Darioush, she worked under Michelin Star Chef Chris Lemerand and Chef Sean Massey, embracing the challenge of crafting innovative menus inspired by California’s seasonal bounty and Persian influences, enhancing the winery’s culinary experience for guests.
Kristin’s culinary journey reached new heights

vibrant celebration of California’s agricultural bounty
Executive Chef Kristin Puttkamer’s menu at Canopy Wine Lounge is a vibrant celebration of California’s agricultural bounty, showcasing a commitment to local and seasonal ingredients.
With a creative flair, Chef Puttkamer artfully incorporates premium products, such as Tsar Nicholai Caviar, sourced from Northern California, into her culinary creations. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to highlight the freshness and quality of the ingredients, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors that reflects the essence of this rich agricultural region.
By emphasizing seasonal produce and sustainable practices, Executive Chef Kristin Puttkamer creates an evolving menu that delights the senses while supporting local farmers and producers, inviting guests to experience the true taste of California in every bite.
Executive Chef Kristin Puttkamer’s Fried Green Tomatoes are a standout dish, featuring locally sourced tomatoes that are delicately fried, complemented by fresh, vibrant little gem lettuces from nearby farms.
In addition, her Tartines showcase her artisanal sourdough bread, crafted from a sourdough starter that she has diligently nurtured for over five years. Another menu favorite is the Handmade Potato Cakes layered with Old Bay Remoulade, Dungeness crab and pickled leeks.
Canopy Wine Lounge seamlessly blends the art of winemaking with a vibrant social hub and an elegant event space. This year, they proudly produced a signature wine, Desert Wren, crafted with care by Winemaker Josh Kelly.
At the same time, Canopy Wine Lounge invites guests to unwind in style and enjoy their diverse selection of wines five days a week. As a wine lounge, Canopy offers a diverse selection of wines in brilliantly curated atmosphere with the relaxed appeal of your neighborhood wine bar.
Canopy Wine Lounge was conceived in collaboration with Noah Mamet, former U.S. Ambassador to Argentina from 2014-2017. His extensive efforts to strengthen bilateral relations were recognized with the Medal of San Martin at the rank of Great Cross by the government of Argentina. In addition to his diplomatic achievements, Mamet is the founder of NMA Partners, a business consulting firm, and he produces wine from his vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina under the label ‘Gran Diplomat.’
Canopy Wine Lounge boasts an impressive selection of exceptional wines curated from some of the world’s most renowned winemakers, including Michel Rolland, Philippe Melka, Matt Sands, Alberto Antonini, and Juan Pablo Murgia.

This Halloween in LA: Scary-good whiskies: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is debuting scary-good whiskies this fall, with its first fall spiced Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon and the ability to customize your own whiskey for your Halloween festivities through its J. Mattingly 1845 craft your bottle program.
Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon is a play on the brand’s Bourbon 30 Bourbon brand and this limited-edition release was created for the Halloween season.
Bourbon 31 is a blend of three whiskies which have all undergone J. Mattingly 1845’s Double Staving™ process and the blend consists of 51 percent Bourbon, 29 percent Light Whiskey and 20 percent Rye Whiskey. Double Staving is a proprietary process used by J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery that gives the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color.
The Double Staved Classic Bourbon used in this blend has just scored a 96 from famed Whiskey Bible author Jim Murray.
The Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon was created by J. Mattingly 1845’s team of expert blenders to reflect the flavors typically associated with fall. “When we blended these three whiskies, we were looking for a flavor profile that reflects flavors typically associated with fall, such as pumpkin and cinnamon while matching the light-hearted fun we’re having by changing the brand name from Bourbon 30 to Bourbon 31 to celebrate the Halloween season,” said Harry Richart, president, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery.
Tasting notes for this bourbon describe it as having a nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and walnut, with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and fall baking spices on the palate. On the finish, pumpkin bread, baker’s chocolate and seasoned oak are prevalent.
Bourbon 31 is available online and at the J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Suggested retail pricing is $60 for a 750 mL and it is 98 proof.
J. Mattingly 1845 Custom Whiskey Program is the “Choose Your Own Adventure” of the whiskey world by allowing the buyer to choose between double staved™ bourbon, light whiskey or rye whiskey recipes, select their bottle shape, customize their own label, and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow! This program is available online and in person at the Distillery and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors. Imagine expressing your innermost devilish (or angelic) thoughts on the bourbon bottle you give your favorite boo.
Pricing for the custom bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle and shipping is available to 46 states.
About J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery
The Mattingly family has been synonymous with distilling in Kentucky for more than two centuries, having a hand in the development of at least nine separate distilleries in the Commonwealth.
It all started in 1845, with John Graves Mattingly’s first distillery in Marion County, Kentucky, Registered Distillery #2.
In 2010 Jeff Mattingly took up the family mantle and started his own craft bourbon business. Today, Jeff’s son Cameron has joined the team as Vice President of Production, continuing the legacy into the latest generation for J. Mattingly Distillery 1845 in Frankfort, Kentucky. Together father and son offer their proprietary double staving process as well as a custom bourbon blending experience unparalleled in the spirits industry, available on-site in Frankfort or online at https://jmattingly1845.com/build-a-bottle/

Oregon Wine’s Le Cadeau Vineyard Offers Complex Pinot Noir and Dazzling Sparkles – Wine Review
For nearly 30 years Oregon’s Le Cadeau Vineyard has been producing amazing wines, cultivating a loyal audience and earning worldwide attention for their grapes and wine rosters.
The founders, Deb and Tom Mortimer, will tell you the secret to great wine isn’t a secret at all. It’s actually quite obvious and staring everyone in the face. It’s the grapes. Respecting the grapes and carefully protecting and supporting their process; it’s the difference between mediocre wine and the excellent wine that they strive to produce year after year.
They grew from six acres to sixteen, and planted Pommard, Dijon clones 667, 777, 113, and 115, Mariafeld (a Swiss Pinot Noir clone) starting on the south slope of Parrett Mountain, in the Chehalem Mountains AVA.
From the beginning, Le Cadeau’s location produced noticeable magic. Vibrant aromatics. Intense fruit forward flavors with glimmers of spice and earthiness usually not often found in young Pinot Noir wines.
Le Cadeau Vineyard
Find Le Cadeau Vineyard on the southern tip of Parrett Mountain near Newberg, Oregon, in the Chehalem Mountains AVA.
The 16-acre vineyard benefits from high-elevation (610’ – 725’) developed and planted with one focus – growing distinct and complex Pinot Noir.
The vineyard delivers based on a combination of soils: Jory, Nekia, and Witzel soil (a very shallow, broken basalt). On the East side, a cross between Jory and Willakenzie.
One of the wines tasted today, Merci Pinot Noir – comes from an assortment of new plantings of heirloom clones, including Mt. Eden, Calera, Swan and Jackson.
Le Cadeau Wines
2018 Merci Reserve Pinot Noir
From Winemaker Jim Sanders, it’s a blessing in the bottle, or as they’ve said a ‘Merci’ thank you. After a taste, with a grin on your face you might say the same as you pour your second sip.
Ruby in the glass. Red currant, red plum, blue berry, peach, orange peel on the nose. White pepper, vanilla, boysenberry. Nice, velvety medium body with medium tannin and a very pleasant finish. Perfectly paired with lamb, turkey, roasted chicken.
Blanc de Noir 2017
Winemaker Steve Ryan and his team produced a classic representation of Blanc de Noir, minimizing skin contact, fermenting in both Stainless steel and French oak.
The result is a very drinkable potion. Subtle apricot with pronounced pear on the nose. Green apple, lemon zest, pasty and flirty touch of cherry on the finish. Pair it with garden salad, light appetizers, even a light chicken dish.
Le Cadeau Wine Club
Wine club membership has three level: Platinum, Gold, Silver with tiers that include discounts per shipment, access to limited releases, invites to events and parties, and complimentary tastings at the Dundee location.
