Our Wine List
In the following pages is a selection of wines from around the world
that we hope you find engaging and intriguing.
While we have fully represented both those styles of wine which seem to be in most demand (Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon, Willamette Valley pinot noir,
Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
and those that are our own particular favorites
(Burgundy of both colors, Barolo, Washington State Cabernet, German Riesling).
The persistent focus is on those wines which best compliment our ethic and cuisine,
with delicate structures and soft flavors reminiscent of forests and earth.
It is in these categories that we have truly committed to variety and accessibility,
and we urge you to take advantage of the depth we offer in our selection of these wines.
So please do take the plunge and be adventurous,
try your bass with a Malvasia from Collio,
enjoy your beef with Cabernet Franc from Chinon,
have cured trout with Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau,
and absolutely order anything with Grower Champagne.
We hope you find a new love in these pages.

The Loire Valley
Spanning over 170 miles in length through central France,
The Loire Valley is as much known for its architecture as its wine, it’s odd that so few people here even think of it when it comes to choosing wines with a meal.
This wild river produces wines of varied quality, but the best have an astounding amount of minerality, herbaceousness, and bright citrus in common.
This is the place to find the most expressive sauvignon blanc and chenin blanc in the world.
A region that has become rather synonymous with biodynamic culture, the winemakers here work with the soil, rather than trying to steal from it. They are farmers, as much as artists.

Biodynamics
The connection here is obvious but important. We are a farm-oriented restaurant.
How could we not support these farm-oriented wines? This does not
refer to wines with “farmy” or “barnyard” tastes,
but rather to wines that are made by people who are as careful with the roots of their vines, and the soil they feed from, as they are with the fruit they eventually bestow.
Biodynamic farming treats an entire farm as a single living organism.
It’s goal is to actually improve the health of the land and ecosystem through farming.
No chemicals are used at any point, and herbal preparations are used as treatments for the soil.
Every important event in the farm’s life is scheduled on a biodynamic calender based
on phases of the moon, to fit in with the land’s life cycle.
Biodynamics results in healthy vines with deeper rootstocks
which produce uncommonly expressive grapes with a surprising depth
and purity of flavor.
A few important biodynamic producers on our wine list are:
Marcel Deiss (Alsace) Eyrie Vineyards (Oregon)
Domaine Weinbach (Alsace) Kamen (California)
Domaine Ostertag (Alsace)
Domaine de Montille (Burgundy)
Domaine Trapet (Burgundy)
Olivier Guyot (Burgundy)
Michel Chapoutier (Rhone)
Huet (Loire)
Didier Dagueneau (Loire)
Elisabetta Foradori (Trentino Alto-Adige)
Arianna Occhipinti (Sicily)

Germany
When the Germans compose a wine label, they provide more detail about the process and mindset than most other places on the planet. The interaction between the health of the grape, and where it was grown is clearly well understood from the Ahr to the southern tip of Baden, and everywhere in between.
There are terms for how ripe the grape was at harvest, what style the wine is meant to be, and in which town the vineyard is located.
Sadly, perhaps, few people here speak fluent German.
Luckily, it’s hard to go wrong, whether you prefer a bit of sweetness, or bone-dry minerality. These wines are made in a way that pairs with delicate food, while standing up to more aggressive flavors.There’s a wine to pair with almost any dish.
Riesling is King here. All the work is done in the vineyard, not the winery. These wines offer one of the most pure examples of “terroir” in the world, and one of the best values as well. These wines drink well today, and can also age for decades.
Everyone should drink more Riesling.

Austria
The “terroir” of Austria is aggressive. Intense herbality (which many think of
as a character of the grüner veltliner grape) exists to some level across all grapes in all years, red and white. The minerality of Austrian whites is self-assured, and can be particulary forward. Extractive wine-making techniques don’t mask terroir - they only seem to pull out more “Austria” in Austrian wines.
Despite the almost overbearing presence of the land in the wines, the amount
of possible variety is immense. Different years and regions produce
wines of delicacy or power, structure or softness.
We encourage you to explore.
