Small Plates & Wine Pairing

frisee salad

strawberries | pistachio dusted basil chevre | shaved red onion | strawberry white balsamic vinaigrette | 7.95

Chateau Grand Cassagne   Rosé   Costieres de Nimes, France  7.00

what should you drink this summer? how about something with fresh berries, a hint of citrus, and a creamy kick on the finish? this rose is neither sweet or bone dry. it’s pleasantly middle ground.

 

pan seared mahi

balsamic soy glaze | herbed rice pancake | asian mustard greens | ginger | carrots | toasted coconut | 9.95

Raffaldini Vineyards   Vermintino  Yadkin Valley, NC   8.50

I tell you what. The eye-talians are coming to the kackalack and stirrin up some crazy good juice. (that is all said in a southern accent). Seriously…try it


crispy carolina catfish

red bliss potato salad | wilted arugula | bacon aioli | pickled jalapeños | 9.95

Salmon Run    Rkatsiteli   Finger Lakes, NY   7.50

georgian white varietal. one of the oldest known to man. smells kinda like Riesling, but tastes dry with a creamier finish.  I need to work harder at desribing this one, but it is hard

flatbread
bèchamel | broccoli | red onion | beechers flagship cheddar | bacon | 8.95

Domaine de la Patience Merlot  Southern France  7.50

Bold merlot with nice earthy rich flavors like you might expect from the south of france. this is not your mommas merlot.

grilled flat iron steak

shitake-gouda-horseradish stuffed brioche | arugula | port-thyme vinaigrette | shitake foam 11.95

Carussin Lia Vi   Barbera d’Asti   Piemonte, Italy    8.00

More elegant than your typical asti barbera. tart cherries and earth with an outstanding balance of acid & fruit.

 

six plates cheese plate
sliced apple | honey | fruit compote | mixed nuts | crostini |
10.95

Domaine Skouras   Peloponnese, Greece   7.00

saint george is the predominant grape in this greek wine. it is light refreshing and great for summer dishes. I’m starting to believe that these greek guys really know what they are doing. who knew?
