CAMERATA BOTTLE LIST JAN 2019 TEXAS TXOTX! Thanks for coming to Camerata! We re excited to serve you some fermented grape juice. We change this list about once a month, and now that we ve properly ditched the dumpster fire that was 2018, we can begin prepping for our annual Basque Festival! From January 18 th through the 31 st, we ll be featuring ciders and wines from El País Vasco because the unique beverages from this fiercely autonomous part of Spain pair beyond well with our food (boquerones, shiny meats, salty snacks, you get the idea). But maybe you don t want to drink Basque juice. That s kind of a bummer, but no worries: we ve got lots of other cool shit. You might not know some of these grapes or regions, but that s totally okay. We re here to help! We assure you that everything listed here is delicious. No need to bust out that vintage chart or wine app, as each bottle contains 100-point flavors, unless otherwise specified For the most part, the wine list is organized by weight & structure, so as you work your way down a page, the wines will increase in intensity. The last couple of pages contain ciders, beers, and miscellaneous cool shit (Sherry). You ll notice that each of our bartenders appears in the menu. John, Dale, Tony, and Tim each selected out a wine for the list, and you ll see their smiling faces throughout the menu. Take their advice, and try Camerata s SOMMAKASE! Regardless of your preferences, please don t hesitate to ask us for help. Our entire purpose here is to find a beverage that you want to drink. See something you d like to try but don t wanna commit to the full bottle? We ll open most selections for a two-glass minimum. Wanna buy a bottle to-go? Almost everything is available for a retail discount!

NON-CHAMPAGNE BUBBLES Some people only drink bubbles for special occasions or for New Year s Eve. We give zero fucks what day of the week or what part of the year it is: you drink bubbles with everything, regardless of the occasion, because they taste delicious. There s a bajillon different styles of sparkling wine, so we ve broken things down into some manageable categories. ITALIAN BUBBLES! These sparklers are meant to be consumed with charcuterie. Our two Lambruschi are not sweet! 1A. Adami Prosecco (Glera): Garbèl, Treviso, Italy, NV 29 2A. Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco di Sorbara: Vecchia Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, 2017 33 3A. Cantina della Volta Lambrusco di Sorbara: Rimosso, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, 2016 41 4A. Ramona Zibbibo & Grapefruit Juice: Sicily, NV ANCESTRAL METHOD/PETILLANT NATUREL Affectionately called Pet-Nat, these wines go through only one fermentation, almost entirely in bottle. The result is an affable effervescence & flavor. Fizzy, sometimes unfiltered and always fun. 10/can 5A. Brand Weissburgunder/Sylvaner: Pet-Nat, Pfalz, Germany, 2017 55 6A. Domaine Bobinet Chardonnay/Chenin Blanc: Du Rififi À Beaulieu, Saumur, France, 2017 49 7A. Bichi (wanna learn more about this producer? Flip to page 8!)??? (Unknown grape from a 70-year-old vineyard: Pet-Mex, Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, 2017 67 TRADITIONAL METHOD: CRÈME DE LA CRÉMANT Wanna drink something a little more savory? These sparklers are made similarly to the wines of Champagne and offer a leesy complexity and finer bubbles. 8A. Clos Lentiscus Sumoll: Blanc de Noirs, Baix Penedès, 2013 72 9A. Domaine du Clos Naudin (Foreau) Chenin Blanc: Réserve, Vouvray, France, 2005 67 10A. Schramsberg Rosé of Pinot Noir/Chardonnay: J. Schram, California, 2009 195 BRITISH BUBBLES Not butterbeer Despite the Alternative Facts you may have heard, Global Warming is real. But the silver lining to this glacier boil is that regions previously too cold for grape-growing are now fair game. The same chalky soils found in Champagne exist across the channel in Southern England. English Fizz is bracingly high-toned & piercingly pure. Mischief Managed! 11A. Hattingley Valley Rosé of Pinot Noir/Meunier/Pinot Precoce: Hampshire, England, 2014 95 12A. Gusbourne Estate Chardonnay: Blanc de Blancs, Kent, England, 2013 74

YES, CHAMPAGNE We think that the geography of Champagne is just as important as the houses themselves. The northernmost vineyards in Montagne de Reims vary enormously from those down in the Côte des Bar. As such, we have chosen to organize all our options geographically, from North to South. Forgot your compass? Ask us for help! (Note: Everything is NV unless otherwise stated. Grape varieties are shortened as follows: PN=Pinot Noir, C=Chardonnay, M=Meunier, A=Arbane, PM=Petit Meslier, PB=Pinot Blanc, PG=Pinot Gris) MAIN REGIONS MONTAGNE DE REIMS VALLÉE DE LA MARNE CÔTE DES SÉZANNE CÔTE DES BLANCS CÔTE DES BAR (AUBE) CAVIAR Oh you fancy, huh?

WHITE WINES: LIGHT, AROMATIC, MINERAL-DRIVEN, CRISP Why do we drink things? For hydration, mostly. It may be Winter, but in all likelihood you re in need of something refreshing. Everything on this page will quench your thirst. These wines dance on your palate, but not in the Fred Astaire sort-of-way. The citrusy acidity of these wines are the Pon de Floor music video. Also, in honor of #TXOTX2019, check out those Txakolinas! 1C. G.D. Vajra Moscato d Asti: Piedmont, Italy, 2016 41 2C. Weingut Weszeli Grüner Veltliner: Kamptal, Austria, 2017 33 3C.

Made with Hondarribi Zuri and other indigenous, hard-to-pronounce varieties, Txakoli is refreshingly briny, like drinking mermaid tears.

WHITE WINES: MEDIUM-BODIED AND RICH Medium-bodied is a shitty description for a wine. What does that mean, really? Call us Goldilocks, but we think that this page is filled with unique wines that are balanced. Maybe there s some oak, maybe there s some funk, but they re all tasty AF. Keep your eyes peeled for J-Bird s Grüner Veltliner suggestion. Don t ask how he got his nickname. We don t know. 1D. Heidi Schröck Muskateller: Sauvage, Burgenland, Austria, 2017 41 2D.

Domaine Étienne et Sébastien Riffault Sauvignon Blanc: Les Quarterons, Sancerre, France, 2014 61 JOHN MASON: Habit Wines Grüner Veltliner: Santa Ynez Valley, California, 2017 When traveling the Central Coast of California, I stumbled upon a group of young winemakers that bent my perception of what the Cali Wine Scene was. One of my favorite winemakers from this area is Jeff Fischer and his Habit Wines. This Grüner Veltliner is sourced from Rancho Arroyo Perdidto vineyard in Santa Barbara. Planted in 1972 as Cabernet Sauvignon, the vines were grafted over to this Austrian variety in 2008. With plenty of acidity, this mineral-driven wine is lined with notes of jasmine, juniper, & lime. 55

WHITE WINES: FULL BODIED, OAKY AND/OR CHENIN We d love to write a fun blurb, but we d rather fill this page with more Chenin. 1E. Julien Altaber Chardonnay: Sextant, Burgundy, France, 2016 64 2E. René Rostaing Viognier: La Bonnette, Condrieu, France, 2016 101 3E. Domaine François Mikulski Chardonnay: Meursault, France, 2015 108 4E.

Lopez de Heredia Viura/Malvasia: Reserva, Viña Tondonia, Rioja, Spain, 2004 92 CHENIN BLANC: GET YOU A GRAPE THAT CAN DO BOTH Chenin Blanc is your new favorite grape. Depending on the vineyard and winemaker s idiosyncrasies, Chenin can be light & bright or seductively honeyed. From sparkling aperitifs to luxuriously sweet wines that can age forever, Chenin can do it all. A glass of Chenin is like a Saturday morning walk in springtime: full of possibility, with the smell of honeysuckle in the air. Loire Valley: The homeland of Chenin Blanc! In the region of Savenninères, the wine can be cerebral and intense, whereas further upstream in Vouvray, wines tend to be rounder, more supple. Guiberteau: Les Moulins, Saumur, 2017 62 Nicolas Joly: Savennières Coulée de Serrant, 2014 160 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Sec, Vouvray, 2017 59 Domaine du Clos Naudin (Foreau): Demi-Sec, Vouvray, 2003 79 Texas High Plains: One of the 8 Texas AVAs, the High Plains is known for its high altitude & sandy soil. Texas wine country is the second most touristed wine region in the USA, so give this Chenin a try! McPherson: Old Vine, 2016 39 California: Until the early 1970s, Chenin was more widely planted than Chardonnay in California! Lieu Dit: Santa Ynez Valley, 2016 55 Pax: Buddha s Dharma, Mendocino County, 2015 67 Swartland: Located by the original Cape Town colony, Swartland s mountainous vineyards have a coastal climate. But whatever you do, don t call it Steen. A.A. Badenhorst: Secateurs, 2017 33 Alheit Cellars: Cartology, 2015 79

PINK MATTER Yes, these wines are all some shade of pink. No, they aren t sweet. We don t care that it s January. Rosé season lasts for 51 weeks out of the year here in Houston, and these are some of the most food-friendly wines on our menu. Be a man and drink pink. 1F.

Maxime Magnon Carignan/Grenache/Cinsault/Grenache Blanc: Métisse, Corbières, France, 2017 55 SKINEMAX: The TV-MA world of Orange wine Winemaking 101: wine gets color & tannin from grape skins. Red/pink wine happens when grape juice macerates with red skins. White grape skin similarly lends flavor, texture, and occasionally an orange hue. Not all of these wines are oxidative, so ask your friendly neighborhood bartender for a recommendation! 1S. Bodegas de Forlong Palomino/Pedro Ximenez: 80/20, Jerez, Spain, 2017 55 2S.

RED WINES: LIGHT, MINERAL or DELICATELY FRUIT DRIVEN It s still rosé season in our books but you ve decided to drink red. Luckily for you, these tintos are built for warm weather. Chances are you re on this page because you like Pinot Noir, but guess what! There s so many other grapes out there. Give one of these a go! 1G.

Les Lunes Wine Zinfandel: Venturi Vineyard, Mendocino County California, 2017 61 PRODUCER FOCUS: BICHI, THE NAKED WINE REVOLUTION IN BAJA, MEXICO About a 90-minute drive south of San Diego, across the Tijuana border, is a Tecate-based winery called Bichi. Slang for naked, Bichi is run by two brothers: CDMX-based chef Jaír Tellez and his bon-vivant brother Noel. Together, they have helped promote old-vine, natural winemaking in the Guadalupe Valley. Our wine director, Chris, had the chance to hang out with Noel during harvest this past August. Seeing Noel and his lead winemaker Yann Rohel tend to the centenarian vineyards was inspiring. The two reds we re featuring come from bush-trained vines that are farmed biodynamically and fermented in locally-made concrete tinajas. Both fiercely traditional and avant-garde, these are some of the most exciting wines coming from America, period. No Sapiens:???

Winemaker Guy _Bossard and winery owner Fred Niger mature the wine for 15 months in amphorae, _lending a feral, brambly red-fruit character. Hail Satan! 71

RED WINES: RUN THE JEWELS Are these wines big? Yes. Are they bold? Hell yeah! But most importantly, are they balanced: you better freaking believe it!

I mean, I ve been drinking fermented grape juice since high school, but since starting at Camerata back in August, I ve been exposed to a whole new world of wine. One of my favorites is this bottling from a nearly 200-year-old Grenache vineyard made by husband- wife duo Richard & Carla Betts. I first heard of Master Sommelier Richard_Betts through his scratch & sniff guidebook to wine. It s actually a great book! Anyway, his seductively perfumed red wine will have you forgetting all those stereotypes of one-dimensional Aussie reds 92

Sierra made amazing barrels but as his ambition grew, he set his sights on Sherry production. Jerez s caste-system looked down on the artisanal laborers: ownership of a bodega was an aristocratic privilege. For years, Sierra fought against the nobility before finally securing his own bodega. Even now, the bodega breaks down Andalusian societal norms with its female owners, Pilar and Carmen Pechovierto, & cellarmaster, Ana Cabestrero!

Velenosi Lacrima di Morro d Alba/Sour Cherries (Visciole): Vino di Visciole, Marche, Italy 12/45 TONY STEIN: Priorat Natur, Vermut, Catalunya, Spain My love for cocktails & exotic flavors is why I chose this sweet vermouth produced by the cooperative Falset Marça in Priorat, Spain. A blend of White Garnacha, Macabeo & Pedro Ximenez, the grapes are fermented on their skins, aromatized with fennel, rosemary, cumin, & vanilla, then aged in a solera. With an herbaceous & citrusy flavor, this orange-tinged vermouth is marvelous as an aperitif, with a cheese plate or even chocolate!. 9/gl 8/gl
