The editorial take
The wine list runs over 80 bottles by the glass, half bottle, or full bottle, with a smaller bottle-only collection of big Bordeaux and Burgundy. Old-world wines from small, family-owned wineries using organic, biodynamic, and sustainable approaches anchor the selection, and the list spans orange wine, rosé, Champagne, sparkling, and dessert wines. Happy hour drops wines to $12 and cocktails to $21.
- What should I order?
- Start with the wine list: Château Pouget Margaux (2000) or Château Giscours Margaux (2016) from the bottle-only Bordeaux collection, or Marco Porello Barolo (2021) from Piedmont. By the glass, the happy hour pour of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Vinho Verde, or Pinot Grigio Rosé is $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who care about old-world sourcing and format flexibility will find the 80-plus-wine list, bottle-only Bordeaux and Burgundy, and organic, biodynamic, and sustainable producer focus worth the visit. Those who want a $12 happy-hour glass or a $21 spritz have a straightforward entry point too.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window for $12 wines and $21 cocktails, including the Aperitivo Spritz, White Peach Bellini, and Mango Mimosa. For the bottle-only Bordeaux and Burgundy collection, the full wine list is the draw at any visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour wines are $12 by the glass and cocktails are $21, including the Aperitivo Spritz, White Peach Bellini, and Mango Mimosa. NA beverages at happy hour are $6 for sodas and $10 for juices. The list shows glass, half-bottle, and bottle pricing across categories.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A bottle-only collection of big Bordeaux and Burgundy sits alongside over 80 wines by the glass, half bottle, and full bottle. The list leans old-world and small, family-owned, with organic, biodynamic, and sustainable approaches, and it periodically lowers prices through improved supplier negotiations.
