split pea soup – bacon | nc fried “head on” shrimp | 6.95
Donati Camillo Malvasia Emilia Romagna, Italy 7.00
sparkling white wine with some floral funk. this wine is going to change the way you think about bubbly. think food bubbly.
flatbread of the evening – winter green | gorgonzola | champagne gastrique | local pecans | 7.95
Quinta do Caneiro Arinto-Fernao Pires Alenquer, Portugal 6.00
two grapes you have most likely never heard about. unlike vinho verde this is a vinho branco. there is a creaminess to this wine that I have not experienced in a lot of white wine from portugal. still so refreshing.
roasted local heirloom tomato salad – arugula | baby fennel | pecorino toscana | 7.95
Radog Gewurztraminer Monterey, California 8.00
gewurtraminer from California in a dry style. still smells floral like gewurz but maybe not the sweetness you know. there are only 17 barrels of this wine made every year. that is cool in itself.
whole wheat couscous and yogurt salad – arugula | local tomatoes | balsamic drizzle | 6.95
Salmon Run Rkatsiteli Finger Lakes, NY 6.75
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.
pan roasted duck breast – soft polenta | quinta do infantado port cherry gastrique | 7.95
Chateau Gasparets Corbieres France 6.50
the grapes in this wine are similar to a rhone blend, however I find this wine to be a lot less spicy and really easy to drink. red currant dominates the palate. sit and drink all night long.
six plates cheese plate – 10.95
Korta Cabernet Franc Lontué Valley, Chile 6.50
big and rich compared to cabernet franc out of the loire valley. A nice balance on this wine. if you like California style wine, try this…you’ll like it.
the “tenured” lamby joes…8.95
truffle frites…6.95
olive plate…3.95
cranberry granita - rosemary pine nut shortbread | 5.95
Vi D’Agulla Rosato Penedes, Spain 6.50
rosato with berry and a bit of effervescence. refreshing as can be. slow down when drinking this one as it goes down so easy.
