frisée salad
bruléed peaches | basil-lemon vin | spiced almonds | drunken goat cheese | 6.95
Domaine de Majas Vermentino blend Catalanes, France 8.00
this wine is all about contrast. dried apricots and a racy acidity float above a creamy undercurrent.
it is different than your everyday white, but subtly so.
pan-seared black drum
cool soba salad | cucumber | blueberries | grilled oyster mushrooms | garlic scape crème fraiche | 9.95
Cantina Frentana Cococciola Terre di Chieti, Italy 6.50
an igt from umbria. cococciola is grape from the area rarely seen bottled by itself. apparently frentana has figured it out because this wine has lovely fruit and balance. great with food. awesome by itself.
flatbread
arugula | peaches | basil-habanero chèvre |
almonds | basil syrup 8.95
Crios Torrontes Mendoza, Argentina 7.50
This is real deal torrontes. great acidity and fruit with balance for days. as an old mentor used to say “creamy, delicious, it says it right there on the label.(not really)”
pan-seared shrimp
caramelized onion polenta | avocado puree | tomatoes | shaved fennel | raspberry-lemon vin | 9.95
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!

herbed spaetzle | green beans | tomatoes | blackberry demi-glace | basil honey butter | 10.95
Yellow and Blue Monastrell Jumilla, Spain 6.50
mourvedre from an hour south of valenciano oak I repeat, no oak pure expression and a really cool environmentally friendly package. Great drinking wine, great food wine, great wine period.

10.95
Iche Minervois “Les Heretiques” Languedoc, France 7.00

La Ardilla, Moscato Valencia, Spain 7.00
this moscato is not as sweet as some may be expecting. in exchange we get a rich nose of flowers and ripe citrus, finished with delicate acidity and effervescence.
