We invite you to enjoy our unique
and eclectic wine list featuring American West Coast and French wines. The American
wines are from California, Oregon and Washington State. French whites are from
Burgundy, the Loire Valley and Alsace while the reds come from Bordeaux., Burgundy
and the Rhone Valley. Included, are a limited but nice selection of Tuscan and
Piedmonts as well as few wines from other parts of the world. We carry a good
selection of half bottles and dessert wines, and four sparkling wines.
Our wines are stored in our cellar, which has a reasonably constant temperature.
The breadth of the inventory allows us to respond to many tastes; the list is
constructed with great care so as to have many good modestly priced wines and
at the same time make available more expensive wines for patrons who desire
greater selectivity. All of our wines are chosen to compliment the cuisine and
our staff is trained to make excellent food / wine marriages. We welcome your
questions.
