The Wines
Fifty bottles, twelve glasses, four volumes.
Rotated by the season, opened by the night, poured by hand.
Our list is small by design. We pour fifty bottles we love, each one earning its place by the glass, by the bottle, or by being the right answer to a question someone is about to ask.
The right wine is the one that fits the food on the plate and the person across the table.
If you tell us what you are eating, we'll tell you what to drink. If you tell us what you like, we'll pour you something you have never had that tastes like it. The conversation is the whole point.
