WINES BY THE GLASS

BUBBLES

PIERRE RICHARD CRÉMANT DU JURA ROSÉ $13/67
Pinot Noir/Chardonnay, Jura, FR, NV
Soft pink subterfuge. A gentle, inviting color masks big acid, as sour cherries mingle with rose petals and toasty almond brioche.

FAMILLE PEILLOT ‘MONTAGNIEU’ BRUT $13/67
Altesse/Mondeuse/Chardonnay, Bugey, FR, NV
Crispy but soft, like a fresh hotel room pillow. This region is known for off-dry sparkling red wines, but Peillot has gifted us an Alpine alternative to Champagne.

CROS DES CALADES ‘AURIANA’ PÉT‘NAT $13/67
Syrah/Grenache/Cinsault, Ardèche, FR, 2022
Softly sparkling Rhône rosé that feels like walking through a holiday market in France, bundled up with vin chaud, raclette and grilled saucisse wafting through the air.

VINS BLANCS

TERRA VITA VINUM ‘LARGE SOIF!’ $16/79
Chenin Blanc, Anjou, FR, 2023
True to its name, this is pure down-the-hatch Chenin. With just a hint of that classic wooly note and enough minerality to substitute for Muscadet, this is a perfect winter weight oyster wine with a clean, saline finish.

CONSTANT CRUSH WINE CO. $13/53
Chardonnay, Willamette Valley, OR, 2022
Imagine the Minutemen covering Mozart. When iconoclasts Bree and Chad Stock decide to make an “Oregon Chardonnay” of course they look to the Jura for inspiration. The fruit fermented outdoors in open tanks behind their barn, developed flor several times and produced a delightfully savory, oxidative and complex New Oregon wine with ancient roots.

LA VIGNE SAUVAGE ‘L’INSOUCIANCE’ $15/77
Chasselas, Savoie, FR, 2020
High altitude mountain wine from vineyards perched on the border of Lake Geneva. Like squeezing the juice from a cold, smooth stone just plucked from a freezing Alpine stream.

VINS ON THE SKINS

JEAN YVES MILLAIRE ‘À FLEUR DE PEAU’ $16/79
Sauvignon Gris, Bordeaux, FR, 2022
A robust variation of the more familiar “blanc,” this grape sees three weeks of fermentation on the skins. It looks like a white but has the tannic grip and structure one would expect from Bordeaux. A fantastic food wine ready for anything with cream or mushrooms.

BECHTOLD ‘NEF DES FOLLES’ $14/69
Pinot Gris, Alsace, FR, 2021
Macerated on its skins for 12 days and aged in a single old foudre, this is luscious, burnished orange wine with no added SO2. A silky stew of blood orange, apricot pits and chamomile.

VINS ROUGES

CALVEZ BOBINET ‘AUNIS’ $16/80
Pineau d’Aunis, Saumur, FR, 2023
Like a bowl of fresh raspberries dusted with white pepper spice, this is a rosé drinker’s red wine…high acid, lean and as glou-glou as it gets.

JEAN PAUL BRUN ‘TERRES DORÉES’ $15/78
Pinot Noir, Bourgogne, FR, 2022
Like a glowing ruby chalice full of fresh plums. JP Brun is known for his Beaujolais wines, but he’s held 5 hectares of Pinot Noir since 1991 and produces this stunner in classic Burgundian style.

L’ENCHANTOIR ‘L’ÎLOT DES BICHES’ $15/76
Cabernet Franc, Saumur, FR, 2021
Classic bistro vibes here. All blue fruit and poblano pepper, with just enough tannin to provide some structure. Pair with everything.

VINS DOUX

DOMAINE DES RONCES MACVIN DU JURA $16
Chardonnay, Jura, FR, 2018
2 parts unfermented grape juice blended with 1 part brandy made from the same grapes, this golden liquid is both sweet and powerful thanks to the marriage of fresh fruit, grape must and Marc. Notes of pears and yellow plums with a baking spice backbone. Drink with cheese or crème brulée.

COLOR COLLECTOR VERMOUTH $16
Gamay Noir, Columbia Gorge, WA, NV
When life smokes out your vineyard, make vermouth. This smoke-tainted Gamay more than makes the best out of a bad situation, resting in barrel with 15 botanicals before being fortified with Pinot Noir brandy and a kiss of local honey. Complex and savory, a robust local alternative to Port.
