Reserve Wines By The Glass Served Tableside via Coravin WHITES & ROSÉS ASSYRTIKO, Domaine Sigalas, Santorini, Greece, 2013 ....................................................... 11 Grown on the volcanic soils of the island of Santorini, assyrtiko is truly a pleasure to drink. Grown in a basket style with the grapes in the center to protect from the vicious winds, the wine is acid driven with loads of minerality and personality; this a wine to try is you love dry riesling or sauvignon blanc. CHARDONNAY, Cakebread, Napa Valley, California, 2012 ........................................................ 20 CHARDONNAY, Domaine Savary, Chablis, Burgundy, France, 2012 ...................................... 13.75 ROSÉ, Bellwether Wine Cellars, “Vin Gris,” Finger Lakes, New York, 2013 ...................... 13 Bellwether Wine Cellars winemaker Kris Matthewson was just called a “rockstar” in the New York Times and this wine, along with his wonderful dry riesling and pinot noir, shows why. A vin gris, or “grey wine”—a white wine made from red grapes—this is more akin to dry rose than white wine. Natural winemaking at its finest, with no unnecessary additives or intervention, Bellwether continues to be a leader of geeky winemaking in the Finger Lakes, and shows what the region can do with passionate people always pushing the boundaries. SAUVIGNON BLANC, Serge Laloue, “Cuvee Silex,” Sancerre, France, 2013 ........................... 13.75 REDS BAROLO, G.D.

Olga Raffault is a maestro of Chinon, producing some of the most ageworthy and elegant wines around. Grown on tufa soils the wine shows an amazing depth of flavors with earth, spice, red fruits, and herbaceous notes all at once. CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Caymus, Napa, California, 2013 ......................................................... 34 CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Heitz, Napa, California, 2010 .............................................................. 22 CABERNET SAUVIGNON BLEND, Opus One, Napa, Califorina, 2012 .......................................... 69 CHIANTI CLASSICO, Antinori, “Peppoli,” Tuscany, Italy, 2012 .................................................. 13.75 Reserve Wines By The Glass Served Tableside via Coravin PINOT NOIR, Black Kite, Anderson Valley, California, 2012 .................................................... 17.85 RIOJA, R. Lopez de Heredia, “Tondonia Reserva,” Spain, 2003 ......................................... 20 One of the most traditional producers in Rioja, R. Lopez still foot treads their grapes and utilizes their own cooperage for their extended barrel aging of their Reserva and Gran Reserva Riojas—many of which are aged much longer than required, with this 2003 Reserva a great case in point. Showing beautiful notes that only an aged wine can, R. Lopez is simply unique and a producer you will not soon forget. SYRAH, Clos Saron, “Heart of Stone,” Sierra Foothills, California, 2011 ................................. 16.75 SPARKLING WINE BRUT, Gruet, Albuquerque, New Mexico, NV ............................................................................. 43 BRUT, Henry Varnay, “Blanc de Blanc”, Champagne, France, NV…………………………30 BRUT, Moet & Chandon, “Dom Perignon,” Champagne, France, 2004 .................................... 241 BRUT, Moet & Chandon, “Imperial,” Champagne, France, NV .................................................. 96 BRUT, Szigeti, “Blanc de Blanc,” Burgenland, Austria, 2009 ....................................................... 39 BRUT, Ultramarine, “Heintz Vineyard Blanc de Blanc,” Sonoma Coast, California, 2010 .. 85 From hyped producer Michael Kruse, Ultramarine is one of the most sought after and hyped California sparklings ever. Made from 100% Chardonnay from the terrific Heintz Vineyard in the cool Sonoma Coast that has been hand-harvested, gently pressed, hand-riddled, and with the least amount of intervention possible, this is truly California sparkling at its best.

The wine sees time in neutral oak, minimal intervention, and only two-fifth’s goes through malolactic fermentation resulting in a balanced, fruit forward, and low alcohol wine that is an amazing partner for food. CHARDONNAY, Patz & Hall, Sonoma Coast, California, 2012 .................................................... 64 CHARDONNAY, Patz & Hall, “Dutton Ranch,” Russian River Valley, California, 2011 ................. 81 CHARDONNAY, Ramey, Russian River Valley, California, 2010 ................................................. 64 CHARDONNAY, Red Tail Ridge, “Sans Oak,” Finger Lakes, New York, 2013 ............................ 35 WHITE WINE CHARDONNAY, Rombauer, Carneros, California, 2013 .............................................................. 72 CHARDONNAY, Sequoia Grove, Napa, California, 2012 ............................................................ 58 CHARDONNAY, Simi, Sonoma, California, 2012 ......................................................................... 58 CHARDONNAY, St. Innocent, “Freedom Hill,” Willamette Valley, Oregon, 2014 .................. 61 Built in a Burgundy style from the great Freedom Hill Vineyard near Salem, Oregon, the wine is whole cluster pressed and fermented in used French oak barrels and rests on lees for 11 months. Tasted blind, the wine is reminiscent of the power and minerality of a fine Meursault with amazing balance. Oregon chardonnay at its finest. CHARDONNAY, Three Monkeys, “Illume,” Russian River Valley, California, 2011 ..................... 72 CHENIN BLANC, Beaumont, Bot River, South Africa, 2014 ......................................................... 43 CHENIN BLANC, Francois Pinon, “Les Trois Argiles,” Vouvray, France, 2011 .................... 42 Vouvray may be one of the most underrated wine regions in the world, and chenin blanc, one of the most underrated grapes. Showing an amazing complexity with layers of honey, wool, stone fruit, and other heady aromas with a hint of sweetness just to balance out the searing acid levels, this wine is a must try if you love off-dry riesling, or just simply a fan of something new and interesting.
