This mindfully curated list pays homage to winemakers and the passion that motivates them. In a glass there is more than grapes or simply wine, there is also a story of people coming together. The winemakers, through their wine, convey terroir, personality, and emotions to present nature at its best. We encourage you to explore and travel through these stories; there is always something new and exciting to connect with. ** Best Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator 2016 * 100 Best Wine Restaurant by Wine Enthusiast 2016 Head Sommelier: Philippe Sauriat Sommelier: Kelly Robinson L’Index du vin ROCHELT SCHNAPPS 3 Beer, Cider 4 Champagne 5 Rosé Champagne 7 Crémants - Pet'Nats 8 Alsace 9 Jura Whites 14 Loire Valley 15 Burgundy 17 Rhône Valley and Provence 20 South of France 21 Europe Whites 22 The New World Whites 23 Rosé wines 24 Alsace, Savoie Red Wines 25 Loire Valley Red Wines 26 Burgundy 27 Burgundy - Côte de Beaune 30 Burgundy - Côte de Beaune - Côte 31 Chalonnaise Beaujolais, Cote Chalonnaise 32 Rhône Valley 33 South of France Red Wines 37 Bordeaux - Le Bank Red Wines 38 Bordeaux - Right Bank Red Wines 42 Italy 43 Spain - Portugal - Germany 46 The New World Red Wines 47 USA - California Cult Winery 48 The New World Red Wines 49 USA - Finger Lakes - Oregon 50 USA - Washington State 51 The New World Red Wines Continued 52 Half Boles Sparkling 53 Half Boles - White Wines 54 Half Boles - Red Wines 55 Magnums, Large Formats 57 Fortified Wines 59 Dessert Wines 60 2 Exclusive Austrian Schnapps Rochelt - Tyrolean Distillery - [375ml served by the ounce] "As a small, family owned business, Rochelt specializes in the production of first- class unfiltered Schnapps from the finest fruits.

It is the only organisation in Champagne to select its members according to a set of unrelenting quality standards. Each wine maker must make their champagnes entirely in his, or her, own premises and cellars. Furthermore the champagne must be made exclusively from grapes harvested in his, or her, own vineyards. The jury of oenologists and wine professionals who select the champagnes, demand irreproachable quality as regards both the work in the vineyard and the wines. Each champagne is subject to two blind tastings (once at the still wine stage before boling and again aer 3 years ageing in bole) by a panel of passionate and distinguished oenologists and wine makers. A Special Club champagne may only be made in outstanding vintage years. Only wine makers who have successfully passed these two tests are deemed worthy of puing their chosen champagne in the unique ‘Special Club’ bole which may not be used by anyone except the members of the Club Trésors. Obtaining this ‘Holy Grail’ is a true accolade and one that requires daily dedication and application by the wine maker."

His view on rosé champagne has an advantage over white: “It adds colour to the table – and it soens the image of champagne, it makes it more genial.” Mr Domi doses the red wine until he achieves just the right colour and aroma, nothing too tannic, the aim being a champagne with a slight hint of dried fruit and strawberry."
