“Ugly” Caprese – heirloom tomatoes | smoked mozzarella | basil granita | basalmic reduction | 8.95
Adega de Pegões Terras do Sado, Portugal 6.50
really interesting nose of summer ripe fruit like peaches and apricots. on the palate a touch of that same fruit comes out with great acidity.
crispy nc shrimp dumplings – thai red cabbage salad | mint lime aioli | 5.95
Paul D Gruner Veltliner Weinland, Austria 6.00
have you ever wanted to taste typical gruner veltliner to know what you are missing? Here is your chance. a little vegetal with good crisp fruit and acidity.
herbed zucchini fritters – roasted eggplant puree | pheta cheese | marinated cucumbers | pita | 8.95
Radog Gewurztraminer Monterey, California 8.00
gewurztraminer 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.
flatbread– tomato spread | kalamata olives | piquillo peppers | mahon | white anchioves | onions 8.95
Domaine du Couron Rose Rhone Valley, France 6.50
traditional rose from the rhone valley in france. I love this rose as a “this is what rose traditionally is” kind of wine. berries and dry minerality.
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 seared pork chop – dijon-andouille pain perdu | zucchini-summer squash slaw | cream cheese sauce | 10.95
Neckenmarkt Zweigelt Burgenland, Austria 7.50
we don’t see a whole lot of red wine from austria, but that isn’t because we shouldn’t. It is great juicy flavor with a bit of mineral. if you like cali wines try this. it might be your new favorite.
six plates cheese plate – 10.95
Galea Schiava Alto Adige, Italy 7.00
so light in color that it could almost be confused with rose. native to alto adige this grape is pinot noir with a little less fruit and a creamy kick. great summer red.

six plates lamby joes…8.95

peach panna cotta – olive oil phyllo crisp | moscato drunken peaches | blueberry paper | 5.95
Sant Evasio Moscato D’ Aqui ’06 7.00
sweet white sparkling with a citrus thing that keeps on giving. This is the best summer dessert wine there is to be found.
