No other beverage has the ability to transport us halfway around the world; to a different continent where generations of the same family have worked the same plot of ground, on the same hillside, planted the same grape varietals and made their wines in the exact same way, for centuries. Or…to a place where a fresh outlook & new ideas merge with nature resulting in a wine that is exciting, radical & delicious. We feature a wide, ever changing array of these styles; unique wines that go with the food we cook. This list is organized in broad categories of wine color & flavor profile. Each wine has that wine’s grape varietal percentages, a brief description as well as other interesting factoids. No doubt, some names are hard to pronounce. To make ordering easier, all wine names have “key” words in bold print. I price our wines to encourage bottle sales. If you are sharing a wine with a friend or plan to enjoy more than one glass, BUY THE BOTTLE! If you don’t finish it, your server can seal it in a perfectly legal, wine doggy-bag for you to take home. FRANK’S is an exciting place to drink wine. Explore & enjoy.
