3 Celebrating the Best of Cuisine and Wine in Charlottesville In Central Virginia we are extremely fortunate to be able to source almost all of our ingredients from small local farmers. Chef Brian and Chef Jose are passionate about supporting such farms as they bring the best flavors to the table. In doing so we help to keep these farms, with exceptional produce and protein, thriving. Wayside Produce hand delivers exceptional root vegetables and tomatoes. Polyface Farms provide us with some of the most pampered poultry in the country. The husband and wife team at Meadow s Pride Farm bring us the most delectable whole lambs. When choosing the wines to go onto our list I have a similar frame of mind. Supporting small, family vingerons can also make for the best juice in the glass. All of these amazing producers have a love and dedication to their craft. The attention to detail and care for the land that these farmers and winemakers exhibit is truly heartwarming. It is a passion of mine to educate our guests on wines that they may have never heard of. Our list spans the globe, however we offer some of France s best and pay special attention to the talented producers in Virginia. Let us guide you through this list of some of the best wines of the world. Melissa Boardman Wine Director 1

Located east of Burgundy, winegrowers in Jura produce some of the most mysterious wines in all of France. Think rustic farmland, hearty cuisine, and traditional, old-school winemaking. These are wines for a ponderous mood. You ll find a wide variety of styles splayed out on a flor spectrum. There are regular white wines on one end of the spectrum; on the other end, you ll find flor-influenced wines that taste more like a dry fino sherry.

11 Sherry This category of fortified wines from Spain ranges from dry to sweet and can accompany a wide variety of foods. Sherries have inspired the likes of Edgar Alan Poe ( The Cask of the Amontillado ) and helped drive the early cocktail movement in the 1800s (think Sherry Cobbler ). A dry sherry can be amazing with shellfish, and sweeter sherries pair well with cheeses & desserts. chalk 2S Spain, Jerez Equipo Navazos La Bota #54 Fino dry 750ml 15yr+ 110 chalk 3S Spain, Jerez El Maestro Sierra Fino dry & crisp 375ml Palomino 6yr 39 sus albariza (chalk) 1S Spain, Jerez El Maestro Sierra Oloroso nutty & dry 375ml Palomino 15yr 42 Amber Wines of the World Amber wine is skin-fermented white wine. It s a style of winemaking that once pervaded the known world, now used by only a few. These jewel-like wines are hotly debated in the wine world. Some wine experts disdain amber wines on the assumption that skin-contact wines display aromas and flavors of wine-making technique rather than terroir. These same Amber nay-sayers usually contradict themselves when they also say that terroir is best expressed in a traditional red ferment with heavy skin maceration, or that terroir is absent in a simple rosé. Amber wines force us to re-examine the locus of terroir in wines made from white grapes does terroir lie in the grape flesh? The seeds? The skins? It could be a combination Amber wine is oddball at the moment, but I long for a day when it has its proper place at the table. And this place is with foods that a traditional white wine or red wine may not quite compliment, such as poultry, pork, and fatty foods like foie gras. Amber wines often have the tannin structure of a pinot noir with the lightness of being of a white wine, and this allows them to occupy an alternate universe of food pairing with dishes that require in concurrence both delicacy and power. org volcanic 173 Italy, Campania Greco Cantina Giardino Sophia Coda di Volpe sus clay/gravel 172 Italy, Umbria Paolo Bea Arboreus Trebbiano org loam 174 California, Napa Valley Matthiasson Matthiason Vineyard Ribolla Gialla Rosé What can rosé be when it is made with implicit care?

15 Featured Producer: Hervé Souhaut Hervé Souhaut created Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet in Hervé works 5-hectares of old and ancient vines between 50 to 100 years old. He is very fortunate to own two vineyards in the Rhône Valley just opposite the storied hills of Hermitage in Saint Joseph. This region is widely recognized as being one of the finest areas for wine production on the planet; thanks in part to its elevation, ancient vineyard sites and the southeastern and southern exposures. Hervé works entirely on whole grape bunches and semi-carbonic maceration. All of the vineyards are farmed organically, and no chemicals are added in the winemaking process. His philosophy is to extract a delicate balance of tannins from the grapes, to make a wine with subtlety and finesse. Hervé prefers to make a wine that is drinkable right away, but we must say his wines have such a fantastic level of purity and acidity, that the older bottles we have tasted have incredible potential to evolve into some of the most spectacular natural wines in existence. schist 86 Rhone Valley, St. Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet Blanc schist 512 Rhone Valley, St. Joseph schist 517 Rhone Valley, St. Joseph schist 504 Rhone Valley, St. Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet La Souteronne 70 year-old vines!

19 Wines of Virginia Here are a few of our favorites from Virginia s blossoming wine industry. Castle Hill Cider - Celestial Merret $45 A producer of truly world-class cider. The style of Castle Hill rivals the best of Normandy. We are fans of these dry and complex offerings. Celetial Merret goes through a double fermentation process in the bottle. This is the same method used in Champagne. There is no fining or filtering as you will see when you look at the bottle. Dom Perignon and Madame Cliquot often get the credit, long before they figured out bubble capture, Christopher Merret figured it out in the 17 th century. This cider is an homage to him. Ankida Ridge - Pinot Noir 2013 $89 Ankida Ridge is leading the charge of producing the best Pinot Noir in Virginia. The estate features only a few acres of vines and plenty of happy animals. Dennis and Christine Vrooman are some of the nicest winery owners you will ever come across. Stop in to taste their Burgundian-style pinot noir and chardonnay or to pet their sheep. Lovingston - Josie s Knoll Pinotage 2015 $47 This is one of the greatest values in Virginia. This playful offering reminds us of a wild, red fruit driven Pinot Noir. This Pinotage is grown on red clay slopes. This tasty bottling comes to us byway of the Puckett family & is crafted by the insightful winegrower, Riaan Rossouw. In the 1900s, a woman named Josie owned the knoll where the grape vines are planted, hence the wine s namesake King Family - Petit Verdot 2014 $89 In 1996, the King family put down roots in Crozet and has been helping to define Virginia wine ever since. Winemaker Matthieu Finot brings a wealth of experience from his childhood in France. He has great success with Petit Verdot in the Monticello AVA. Barboursville - Octagon Bordeaux Style Blend 2014 $99 Winemaker Luca Paschina culls some very special grapes from Virginia s red clay to make this landmark wine. We call it a landmark wine for a few reasons: it carries the mark of the land and represents the soils of the Monticello AVA, the label depicts a design by Thomas Jefferson of the ruins that rise up from the vineyards thus paying homage to the historic building and the echoes of Barboursville s past, and the wine itself is something of a landmark in Virginia s wine landscape red clay 112 Virginia, Monticello Stinson Sauvignon Blanc clay 107 Virginia, Monticello Jake Bushing Sur Lie Viognier loam 115 Virginia, Monticello Michael Shaps Wild Meadow Chardonnay greenstone+ 616 Virginia, Blue Rige Mtns.
