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
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.
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
Chateau de la Chesnaie Muscadet Loire Valley, France 8.00
typically wonderful muscadet from one of the most prominent areas for muscadet production in the loire valley. mineral and bone dry is what you will find in this wine.
local steak and eggs – strip steak | local egg | hashbrowns | 12.95
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
G.D. Vajra Rosso Langhe, Italy 7.00
this is aldo vajra’s kitchen sink wine. the great thing about aldo is if he makes something, he makes it great! dolcetto, barbera, nebbiolo and the famous freisa in this one.(the freisa part is a joke)
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.
