Beverage
- Sparkling
  Raventos I Blanc "L'hureu '12 + Macabeo / Parellada / Xarel-Lo + Cava, Spain
  From the founding family of what is known as 'cava.' Surely by now they've got great fizz figured out. Lemon bar, white flowers, and chalky minerality
  
  $7.00
  
  $12.00
  Bonny Doon "¿Querry?" '13 + Apple/Pear/Quince Cider + Ca*
  Not a wine person? Looking for a gluten free option? Maybe a most refreshing and delicious glass of fermented orchard fruit is more your speed at the moment? What are you waiting for?! Flag someone down, get this!
  
  $5.00
  
  $8.00
- White
  Meli '14 + Dry Riesling + Maule Valley, Chile*
  Don't be scared, "dry means "dry." Not sweet...honest! Organic, dry farmed grapes from vines planted in the 50's go into this minerally, orange-y, peach-y mother/son collaboration from the maule. Crisp and fresh
  
  $5.00
  
  $8.00
  Fatalone '13 + Greco + Puglia, Italy*
  From the heel of the boot, organically grown and naturally made, this singular white showcases flowers, green apple, guava and honey with persistent mouth watering minerality
  
  $5.00
  
  $8.00
  Bodegas Avanthia "Avancia Cuvée De O" '13 + Godello + Valdeorras, Spain
  Get to know godello. If you're a sauvignon blanc fan and you're looking to venture into more textural territory, look no further
  
  $5.50
  
  $9.00
- Red
  Ruth Lewandowski "Feints" '14 + Dolcetto / Barbera / Arneis + Mendocino, Ca (Locally Produced)*
  Delightfully, refreshingly "different-er" than ever before! An experiment gone 'awesome,' this'll win you with its effusive raspberry, savory cinnamon spice and fresh acidity. Zero so2
  
  $6.00
  
  $10.00
  Tenuta Sant'antonio "Scaia" '12 + Corvina + Igt Veneto, Italy
  Corvina in the right hands yields a uniquely delicious wine. A deep core of dark fruit, supple tannins, but it's the telltale black tea-like aroma that reels me in
  
  $5.00
  
  $8.00
  Vinos Divertidos "Lamoristel Del Pirineo" '13 + Moristel + Somotano, Spain*
  Organically grown and vinified simply & without additives, this indigenous, nearly extinct grape yields a fresh, cassis and blackberry laced earthy wine. If it's ancient history & new intrigue you're after, drink up!
  
  $5.50
  
  $9.00
  Bodega Colomé '12 + Malbec Blend + Salta, Argentina
  From far nw argentina, this is a perennial pago favorite. You'd be hard pressed to find a better representation of malbec from the new world. Especially elegant and nuanced with deep fruit, herb and espresso
