THE WINE PROGRAM AT CHARLESTON is all about the relationship between wine and food. After a quarter century of watching and tasting CHEF'S VERY PERSONAL CUISINE in development I constantly work to understand the balance & content of her dishes and how they relate to the wines in the cellar. Among many, some considerations for cellar selection include : - what the growing season is like for farmers in this part of the country - the mood and the taste of our clientele - the individual people who make the wine and their culinary traditions All of this information becomes this giant and RIDICULOUS MATRIX OF INFORMATION that gives us just enough detail and data to actually do something akin to art. Making the right connections is not formulaic, but it is based on a lot of information. THESE CONNECTIONS ARE AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE STRIVE TO CREATE. – Tony Foreman, Wine Director & Owner Lindsay Willey, Chief Sommelier P.S. Please keep in mind the fleeting availability of mature and rare wines from our cellar. We apologize if your first choice is not available.

The wines are superbly diverse and complex yet always accessible. Maybe this is THE wine of celebration as it has the most particular magic. Aroma of fresh peel from a granny smith is so different from the sweet flesh of a honeycrisp, but somehow they bring the same universal happy memory. In the wine, this accessible note from childhood is mixed with all the geological history and individual seasonal life story of the vines and their fruit that is written in an ENTIRELY UNIQUE PLACE for growing and making wine. Champagne is sorted on the following pages into different groups: BLANC DE BLANCS one would expect to be lacy, clean and full of verve. BLANC DE NOIRS is filled with raspberry baritone fruit. ROSÉS are diverse. From charming, light & easy to rich, toasty & boisterously chasing a lamb dish. TÊTE DE CUVÉE are the best grown versions from both tiny familial producers and the most famous names in Champagne alike. NON & MULTI VINTAGE (NV) run from young and fruity to powerful and austere.
