Here at Aubergine, Executive Chef Justin Cogley is constantly inspired by the Pacific Ocean, the coastal highlands, and the readily available fresh and seasonal ingredients afforded by our surroundings. To highlight the locale and to complement Chef’s cuisine, our sommeliers have curated over 700 selections that are worthy of enjoyment and celebration. The wines chosen are terroir driven and thoughtfully crafted, supporting, harmonizing with and highlighting the above ingredients, revealing nuanced flavors and textures. Our 2,500 bottle underground cellar lies beneath the inn’s courtyard, maintaining a constant 59˚ temperature ideal for aging and storing fine wine. We hope that you may discover true gems as you journey with us. Lead Sommelier John Haffey Sommeliers Dominique Bright & Ryan Cooley “Which is the better wine? Which wins? Compare a good Musigny with a good Monthelie. More likely than not, if the wines are well made, the Musigny will win, but your own pleasure at the table would best be served by a light, spirited young Monthelie with, for example, fresh egg noodles and truffles, and an older, nobler Burgundy like Musigny afterwards with the proper cheeses. There you see a sensible progression of two impeccable wines. Comparing them side by side, you will find one a winner, the other a loser. Served intelligently at table, neither wine loses, your pleasure crescendos, and you, finally, are the winner.” -Kermit Lynch Welcome to Aubergine.
