Our wine selection is like our cuisine, i.e., somewhat exotic, yet familiar.  Included are "New World" style wines that are big and bold enough to complement your dinner. We also have "Old World" classics such as pinot noir and dry Rieslings--very food friendly and popular. We list wine from light to full body and include tasting notes, wine scores and food paring suggestions.  Below is our wine list, also please read our Wine Approach to learn more about the wines we offer.
