Alright friends, we’ve got a wild one for you. Thursday July 31 we’ll be hosting a list takeover featuring selections from the deep cellars of We’re putting together a collection of the kinds of wines you can’t find anywhere at prices you’ll never see in a restaurant setting. The only catch is that we’ll have one bottle of each wine available. Chef has been adding some great summer-themed dishes to the menu to pair with whatever you’re lucky enough to snag from the list. Book soon, as this event will surely sell out, and if you want your pick of a litter, we’ll see you at 5pm.

We’re honored to once again be named a Best of Award of Excellence winner. Our list is a constantly evolving project, a labor of love that we hope is improving all the time. We want to create a program that both reflects our tastes and provides every kind of guest with a bottle (or many bottles) that they’re going to love. Though what guides us comes from within, it means the world when people appreciate what we do. Thank you!
