arugula salad

strawberry white balsamic vin| bugey strawberries | pink peppercorn pecans | parmesan tuille | 7.95

Las Lilas Rosé    Vinho Verde, Portugal 6.50

ummm…rose vinho verde with bright red fruit like strawberries and raspberries. what more need I say? how about delicious!

crispy carolina catfish

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

Valentin Fleur  Chenin Blanc   Loire Valley, France 6.50

A touch of fruit as well as a touch of minerality.  Richer than the sb you might be used to but really interesting. Look out for honey suckle.

pei mussels

leeks | carrots | mustard greens | cilantro |

lime-ginger aioli | 8.95

D’Arenberg Roussanne   McLaren Vale, Australia 6.00

nothing like some petrol and toast on the nose to get your fired up (no pun intended). the fact that this wine may be slightly past its prime plays to its strengths and can be enjoyed by chard and rhone drinkers alike.

flatbread

swiss chard | smoked mushroom duxelle | gruyere | lemon syrup | basil | 8.95

Aletta   Garnacha   Campo De Borja, Spain 6.50

old vine Garnacha with no oak. it is aromatically rich, with fun fruit and a soft lingering finish.  think cloves and fresh cherry preserves

farmhand foods spicy italian sausage

currant pain perdu | strawberry basil relish | porcini cream | basil oil | 9.95

Cono Sur    Carmenere   Central Valley, Chile 7.00

carmenere, a blending grape used in bordeaux.  originally thought of as merlot but recently found to be something other than that.  good fruit with a little more complexity than merlot at this price.

six plates cheese plate

sliced apple | honey | fruit compote | mixed nuts | crostini

10.95

Montalto Rosso   Sicily, Italy 7.50

nero d’avola with some cabernet sauvignon mixed in. big dark fruit and a little inky. almost like you can taste the volcanic soil from the island!
