The editorial take
The beverage list leans into the Mediterranean menu rather than decorating it. Wine runs red, white, and sparkling across California, Oregon, Washington, Argentina, France, Italy, New Zealand, and Lebanon, with Bèkaa Valley bottles from Chateau Musar and Clos St. Thomas anchoring the Lebanese side. Six drafts carry brewery, style, ABV, and tasting notes, mostly from Massachusetts, with Allagash White from Maine and a Beirut bottle on the list. By-the-glass pours start at $8.00, and sparkling splits make a single glass of Prosecco or Korbel easy to order.
- What should I order?
- Chateau Musar Jeune Rouge from the Bèkaa Valley, an unoaked blend of Cinsault, Syrah, and Cabernet with a warm, spicy finish, is the bottle that ties the list to the kitchen. For a glass, the Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay at $15.00 or the Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc at $10.00 both work. On draft, White Lion's Marcus Camby New England IPA brings a hazy, tropical pour.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a Lebanese bottle with a Mediterranean meal, and beer drinkers who care about Massachusetts breweries with the ABV and style spelled out. Anyone ordering a glass rather than a bottle has a real range from an $8.00 pour up to Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay.
- When should I go?
- A glass of Prosecco or a Korbel split suits a lighter start to the meal, and the by-the-glass wine range makes a single pour workable alongside dinner.
- What should I expect to spend?
- By-the-glass wines run $8.00 to $15.00. Bottles run $25.00 to $80.00, with the Lebanese Bèkaa selections and Mt Veeder Cabernet at the top. Sparkling splits are $10.00 for Ruffino Prosecco and $11.00 for Korbel. Pellegrino is $5.00 small and $7.00 large.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A Mediterranean grill whose wine list actually goes to Lebanon: Chateau Musar Jeune Rouge, Chateau Musar Hochar Pére et Fils Rouge, and three Clos St. Thomas Les Gourmets bottlings from the Bèkaa Valley sit alongside a multi-region red and white list. The Beirut bottled beer and six Massachusetts drafts reinforce the same direction.
