The editorial take
A wine bar whose list has earned Wine Spectator recognition and a Hudson Valley Magazine readers' Best Restaurant Wine List award. Sparkling, white, rosé, and red are poured by the glass or bottle, drawing from France, Italy, Germany, Chile, Argentina, and the United States. The range runs from Prosecco and Crémant d'Alsace through Riesling, Chardonnay, Gamay, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Malbec. Blind tasting flights chosen by the sommelier are available by request only and not on weekends.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Pierre Sparr Crémant d'Alsace Brut Rosé FR NV, then move to the Tenuta Casenuove Sangiovese Chianti Classico Tuscany IT '19 or the DuSoil Pinot Noir Amity Hills OR '23. If you want a guided route, ask for the blind tasting flight selected by the sommelier, keeping in mind it is by request only and not on weekends.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a geographically broad list in one sitting, from Prosecco and Crémant d'Alsace to Riesling, Chardonnay, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, and Malbec. The by-request blind flight suits anyone who likes comparing notes across several pours with a sommelier's guidance.
- When should I go?
- The blind tasting flights are by request only and not on weekends, so plan a weekday visit if that is the draw. A 30% off wine bottle night is also cited for anyone building a bottle-focused evening.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The list is offered by the glass or bottle, and a 30% off wine bottle night is cited as a way to lower the cost of a bottle.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Two independent wine-list honors sit behind the program: Wine Spectator recognition and a Hudson Valley Magazine readers' Best Restaurant Wine List award. The sommelier-led blind tasting flight, available by request only and not on weekends, is the clearest expression of that focus.
