Because it’s not posted anywhere online, and because it changes frequently, we’re going to start a wine list report that lets you know what we’ve got and what the prices are. Due to limited storage space we’re trying to serve wines you can’t easily find anywhere else rather than fill up the list with the same old Syrahs and Chardonnays.

Top Sellers

Le Fraghe Rodon Rosé is getting guzzled by the bucket-load. It’s summer and it’s hot, but I think people are a little tired of white wines and so when they see a good rosé they go for it like a dog to a bone. And they can’t stop at just one bottle.

.

Les Graviers Chardonnay is pricey by the bottle, but people are drinking it by the glass like nobody’s business. I think it’s because the people who only want one glass know Chardonnay and so they decide to give it a shot, and generally they have a second glass since it’s so different from what most of us normally think of as a Chardonnay.

Sparkling

Lamberti Vino Spumante Rosé ($9 glass/$37 bottle)

A fresh, lively sparkling wine from Italy that dances on your face.

.

Whites

Hugel Gentil 2008 ($4 half glass/$8 glass/$29 bottle)

All the Alsace grapes in one summery blend: spicy Gewurztraminer, big bodied Pinot Gris, subtle Riesling, intense Muscat and refreshing Sylvaner. Read more about it.

.

Stadlmann Rotgipfler 2008 ($5 half glass/$9 glass/$35 bottle)

Strong on the nose, mellow in the mouth, it’s golden and round with almond and pear flavors.

.

Thurnhoff Goldmuskateller 2008 ($6 half glass/$12 glass/$45 bottle)

One of the best wines we’ve discovered while putting together this list, and people are really loving it. (currently not on the list, but it will return next week) Read more about it.

.

Les Graviers Chardonnay ($8 half glass/$16 glass/$64 bottle)

How dare we serve something as banal as a Chardonnay! And yet…grown on some of the oldest wines in France, this bright, rich white wine will change the way you think about Chardonnay…forever! No oakiness, all Chardonnay grape flavor, you’ll drink a glass and realize why everyone got so excited about this varietal in the first place. Cherries, grass, carrots and nuts…no California oakiness.

.

Reds

Le Fraghe Rodon Rosé ($4 half glass/$8 glass/$34 bottle)

It’s summer, and that means rosé rules. It’s from the people who made our popular Bardolino, and it snaps across your tongue with crisp floral notes that make way for a strawberry pie finish.

.

Fritsch Red Soil Zweigelt ($5 half glass/$9 glass/$36 bottle)

Soft tannins linger in your mouth with notes of vanilla, ripe cherries and a touch of pencil shavings. Yes, pencil shavings. Trust us, you want to be drinking pencil shavings.

.

Le Piane La Maggiorina ($6 half glass/$12 glass/$45 bottle)

A complex wine from the lost wine-producing region of Boca in northwestern Italy. It’s an ode to peppers: red, green and black. Read more about it.

.

Churchill’s Touriga Nacional 2007 ($8 half glass/$16 glass/$64 bottle)

The Touriga Nacional is considered Portugal’s finest grape and it lives up to its reputation in this full bodied wine. It starts off with a bit of basil and cedar and finishes like a rich mochacchino.

.

.

Dessert Wines

Clos Du Chateau De Cadillac ($11 glass/$44 bottle)

The best dessert wine we’ve had so far, it’s a fruity blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes.

.

Drinks that Aren’t Wine

We also serve Hitachino Nest White Ale ($9) and we have two non-alcoholic wines, a red and a white, that are quite lovely. They stop the winemaking before fermentation and so they taste like wine, but with no alcohol. And we have tap water (no fancy bottled waters – sorry).
