The editorial take
The wine list is the reason to come: an Advanced Sommelier-curated, ever-evolving selection spanning sparkling, white, rosé, orange, and red from France, Italy, Spain, California, Oregon, Austria, Portugal, and Chile. High-end by-the-glass pours run through an Enomatic system, and flights at several price points let you compare regions without committing to a bottle. Monthly regional tastings pair six wines with six bites. Cocktails are a compact four-drink section, built spirit-forward and spritz-style, priced $12.00–$17.00.
- What should I order?
- Start with a flight to cover ground, then settle on the Failla Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast 2019, poured in 3oz and 6oz measures or by the bottle. For an orange wine, the Gerard Bertrand 'Orange Gold' from Languedoc is listed by the glass. Cocktail drinkers can open with the Paper Plane, made with Makers Mark, Aperol, lemon, and Amaro Nonino.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone building a comparison across regions rather than ordering the same varietal twice, and drinkers who want high-end wines by the glass through the Enomatic system instead of committing to a full bottle. The four-cocktail section suits a companion who wants a spritz or a spirit-forward drink alongside the wine list.
- When should I go?
- For the monthly regional tasting events, which run six wines with six paired bites and are ticketed in advance. The Wine & Brine weekend package is built around oysters, a curated wine flight, and a seafood feature.
- What should I expect to spend?
- By-the-glass wines run roughly $11.00–$19.00, bottles roughly $43.00–$119.00, and flights $14.00–$29.00. Cocktails are $12.00–$17.00. The Wine & Brine weekend package is $55 plus tax and gratuity.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The list is curated by an Advanced Sommelier and changes over time, with high-end by-the-glass selections poured from an Enomatic wine system. Flights are offered at multiple price points, and the monthly regional tastings pair six wines with six bites.
