local tabouli and hummus plate – 6.95
Berger Gruner Veltliner Austria 6.75
gruner veltliner with a bottle cap. how cool is that? who cares what it tastes like, it has a bottle cap! no seriously, clean minerality, slightly creamy and then throw in a few herbs. drink all night kind of wine.
house cured organic salmon – marinated artichokes | cucumber consommé | 7.95
Venta Don Quijote Sauvignon Blanc-Macabeo Spain 5.50
spain has done it again. great herbal notes and citrus. this wine is one of the better values on the menu. so fresh and so clean as andre 3000 would say.

Mauro Veglio Dolcetto D’Alba Peimonte, Italy 7.00
the lightest weight of the three major grapes from alba. mauro likes to makes his wines just in between old and new world, meaning neither a ton of oak or no oak. very smooth.

Domaine Skouras Peloponnese, Greece 6.00

Burra Burra Shiraz South Australia 6.00
the vintage from year to year can matter, but typically it is not about the vintage more about the wine. unless the vintage is older and then it makes the wine different. this is from 2001, so softer fruit and more balance.
six plates cheese plate – 10.95
Iche Minervois “Les Heretiques” Languedoc, France 6.00
A southern french blend consisting of carignan and syrah. medium body with that spicy rich flavor that we equate with the rhone wines.

truffle frites…6.95
olive plate…3.95
local white poached pear - housemade mascarpone ice cream | housemade granola | 6.95
Quinta do Infantado White Port Portugal 3oz 6.00
gentle sweetness with a touch of tangerine, this port comes off just as you would it expect a port of its age to come off, young and lighter than its older brothers
