The editorial take
The Summer 2026 menu pairs six named wines with specific entrees, including Tillia Malbec - Mendoza 2025 with Prawns & Purses and Short Ribs, and Duck Pond Pinot Gris - Willamette Valley 2024 with Sole & Shrimp Risotto. The homepage claims an award-winning wine list and positions the venue as offering fine wine. The selection spans Mendoza, Columbia Valley, California, and Willamette Valley across red, white, and sparkling styles.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Tillia Malbec - Mendoza 2025, the only wine paired with two different entrees on the Summer 2026 menu. For a lighter pour, the Duck Pond Pinot Gris - Willamette Valley 2024 accompanies the Sole & Shrimp Risotto. Barrister Rough Justice - Columbia Valley NV is the pairing for Top Sirloin.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Diners who want a wine chosen for a specific dish rather than picked from a long list. The Summer 2026 menu makes that decision for you with six named pairings across five grapes.
- When should I go?
- The Summer 2026 menu is the current reference point for the pairings. A meal built around the listed entrees gives the clearest reason to open one of these bottles.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Every named wine on the Summer 2026 menu is attached to a specific entree, from Tillia Malbec - Mendoza 2025 with Short Ribs to Ambrosia Bistro White - Columbia Valley NV with Salmon. The homepage calls the list award-winning and describes the program as fine wine.
