Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 2017

Moët & Chandon Impérial, Brut Champagne
The minerally undertow imparts a subtle, smoky note that blends with flavors of dried pineapple, biscuit, salted almond and white peach. A balanced version with well-honed acidity.
Our recommended food pairing: Pair with our Fresh Oysters on the Half Shell.


Brewer-Clifton, Sta. Rita Hills, Chardonnay
This classic chardonnay captures crisp citrus and honeydew notes kissed by subtle oak and an elegant, full-bodied finish.
Our recommended food pairing: Enjoy this versatile wine with Jumbo Lump, Crab Cocktail or Sea Scallops.


Mauritson ‘Loam,’ Rockpile, Sonoma County, Cabernet Sauvignon
A 100% cabernet sauvignon, this wine delivers a perfectly structured red that blends dark fruit, cassis and supple tannins to create a perfectly balanced finish.
Our recommended food pairing: Pair with our Dry Aged Porterhouse or Bone-In Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip with Shallot Butter.


Joseph Phelps, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon
Hailed for expressive cherry, licorice and blackberry notes, a supple mouthfeel and velvety finish.
Our recommended food pairing: Accompanied by our Porcini Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic makes for an unbeatable pair.


Etude ‘Estate,’ Carneros, Sonoma County, Pinot Noir
Rich expanses of red cherry, wild strawberry and pomegranate brighten the palate while layers of sandalwood and sassafras give this pinot intensity and depth. The Etude is medium-bodied and smooth while remaining lively and uplifting.
Our recommended food pairing: Pairs well with Sushi-Grade Sesame Seared Tuna with Gingered Rice.


Domaine Serene ‘Evenstad,’ Willamette Valley, Pinot Noir
This full-bodied wine exemplifies the earthy, complex ripe fruit characteristics of great Oregon pinot noir.
Our recommended food pairing: Noted for great purity of fruit and structure, it pairs exceptionally well with our Seared Citrus Glazed Salmon with Marcona Almonds and Brown Butter.


Ceretto, Barolo, Piedmont, Nebbiolo
Complex layers are born from this barolo—immediate ripe fruit rushes in and then gives way to reveal a more savory wine with dried raspberry and herb notes.
Our recommended food pairing: An impeccable complement to our Double Cut Lamb Rib Chops and Bone-In Ribeye.


Chappellet ‘Mountain Cuvée,’ Napa Valley, Proprietary Red
Aged in French oak, this medium-bodied proprietary blend balances ripe black cherry and cassis with the gravity of well-integrated tannins and hints of clove and vanilla.
Our recommended food pairing: Pairs well with our Dry Aged NY Strip Au Poivre with Courvoisier Cream.


Opus One, Napa Valley, Proprietary Red
Genius brainchild of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, this New World wine is the apex of proprietary red, exuding opulence and class. Sought worldwide for its bold character, depth of dark fruit and ultra-fine tannins.
Our recommended food pairing: Pair with our Gorgonzola and Truffle Crusted Dry Aged Bone-In NY Strip.

Wines Well Worth Tasting now by the glass

You can now enjoy some of the world’s most iconic labels by the glass, perhaps for the first time ever. A new pouring technology called Coravin gives us the great luxury of extracting one glass at a time without removing the cork or disturbing the wine. Select one from this fabled collection in a 6-ounce pour during your next dining experience with us.


Hanzell Vineyards, Chardonnay, Sonoma Valley Flavor profile: Flavors and aromas of Bosc pear, green mango, lemon zest and jasmine mingle with scents reminiscent of brioche, anise and dusty slate.

DuMOL Wester Reach, Pinot Noir, Russian River Flavor profile: Classic coastal hi-toned aromas of Bing cherry, fresh strawberry jam, rose petal, complex grassy and herbal elements with anise and evergreen.

Château Corton Grancey, Corton Grand Cru, Burgundy Flavor profile: There is plenty of the classic Corton character present in the intensely earthy, ripe and attractively fresh combination of various red berry fruits and earthy minerals.

Casa Lapostolle, Clos Apalta, Colchagua Valley, Chile Flavor profile: A blend of 46% carménère, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Pair this wine with a great dry aged steak and enjoy!

Château L’Évangile, Pomerol, Bordeaux Flavor profile: Dense, intense color with hints of violet. Powerful, lingering, expressive, very ripe, concentrated nose, with notes of morello cherries and black currants.

Morlet, Les Petits, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Flavor profile: Displaying a very intense bouquet of black currant, candied red and black cherries and mocha, intermixed with hints of blond tobacco leaves and earthy notes of leather and toasted red pepper.

INTRODUCING: SIP TODAY, Sip Tomorrow

sip today sip tomorrow

A GLASS OR TWO WITH US, the rest anywhere you like.

If your heart's desire is to enjoy just one or two glasses of wine normally only available by the bottle, it is
our pleasure to accommodate you. The Coravin wine preservation system allows us to pour a glass
without removing the cork, so the bottle remains unopened and yours to uncork on a future occasion.

ONE MAGNIFICENT BOTTLE, two memorable experiences.
