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. Chefs Brian and Joe 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 2

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 complement, 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 2011 85 sus clay/gravel 172 Italy, Umbria Paolo Bea Arboreus Trebbiano 2010 125 lime/sand 171 Spain, Bizkaiko Txakolina Itsasmendi Bat Berri Hondarrabi Zuri 2017 65 org loam 174 California, Napa Valley Matthiasson Matthiason Vineyard Ribolla Gialla 2013 98 Rosé What can rosé be when it is made with implicit care?

Three centuries ago, this type of wine was usual in Champagne, and enjoyed by the Sun King. In the 1700s, wines like this competed with the fine pinot noirs from Burgundy. Champagne created its niche apart from Burgundy when producers there controlled a second fermentation. marl 252 France, Champagne Horiot Rosé des Riceys En Valingrain dry, rosé, still Pinot Noir 2013 110 This Rosé des Riceys from the village of the same name straddling the border of Champagne and Burgundy is made in tiny quantities by a handful of growers only in warm vintages. This has more in common with a red wine than most rosés. First, the wine is intended for cellaring; typically it is released after a long elevage. A master of the genre is vigneron Olivier Horiot. bio limestone 251 Spain, Penedès Parés Baltà, Radix Rosé dry, rouge, still Syrah 2016 68 The roots of Parés Baltà go back to the 18th century.

Cru Beaujolais Rouge It would behoove us all to pay more attention to the region of Beaujolais. The Crus of Beaujolais produce wines that are rich yet approachable. By law, they must all be hand-harvested; yet despite this meticulous vineyard work, most Cru Beaujolais wines are around $50. These wines ignite a great synergy with food, as they support cuisine without overpowering it. Forget Beaujolais nouveau; below you will find a carefully curated collection of gems from this overlooked region. granite 297 Saint Amour Cheveau Gamay 2016 49 granite 294 Juliénas Laurent Perrachon Gamay 2016 48 granite 299 Chénas Hirsch Gamay 2016 45 granite 296 Moulin-à-Vent Evelyne Janodet Les Fine Graves Gamay 2015 55 granite 293 Fleurie Château de Fleurie Gamay 2015 50 granite 295 Chiroubles Raousset Bel Air Gamay 201 44 granite 290 Morgon Marcel Lapierre Gamay 2017 69 granite 291 Cotes de Brouilly Thivin Gamay 2016 59 granite 292 Brouilly Laurent Martray VV Combaity Gamay 2015 51 map of Beaujolais, painted in wine 12

Featured Producer: Hervé Souhaut Hervé Souhaut created Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet in 1993. 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 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet Blanc Roussanne 2016 60 schist 512 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet Gamay 2016 88 La Souteronne 70 year-old vines! schist 504 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet Les Cessieux Syrah 2017 90 schist 518 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet St. Epine Syrah 2016 120 Magnums 1010 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet Syrah 2016 150 schist 1011 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph schist 1012 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet La Souteronne Gamay 2016 165 Romaneaux-Destezet Les Cessieux Syrah 2016 250 schist 1013 Rhône Valley, St.-Joseph Romaneaux-Destezet St. Epine Syrah 2016 280 14

Wines of Virginia Here are a few of our favorites from Virginia s blossoming wine industry. Castle Hill Cider - Levity 2017 $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. Levity is a truly unique sparkling cider; as it is crafted in terra-cotta vessels that are buried on property. Levity is settled and bottled before fermentation completes, producing a natural carbonation from native yeasts. Ankida Ridge - Pinot Noir 2015 $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. (614) Lovingston - Gilbert s Vineyard Pinotage 2015 $52 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. (658) 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 (611) clay+ 617 Virginia, Monticello Thibaut-Janisson Sparkling Chardonnay M.V. 65 red clay 112 Virginia, Monticello Stinson Sauvignon Blanc 2015 54 clay 107 Virginia, Monticello Jake Busching Sur Lie Viognier 2016 49 loam 115 Virginia, Monticello Michael Shaps Wild Meadow Chardonnay 2015 71 red clay Virginia, Monticello Early Mountain Rosé Merlot/Syrah 2017 44 red clay 617 Virginia, Monticello King Family Mountain Plains Bordeaux-Style Blend 2015 110 red clay 623 Virginia, Monticello Early Mountain Cabernet Franc 2016 60 varied 612 Virginia, Middleburg RdV Friends & Family Bordeaux-Style Blend 2015 75 red clay 626 Virginia, Monticello Keswick Vineyards Touriga 2016 55 red clay 654 Virginia, Monticello Pollak Petit Verdot 2011 65 18
