CASES OF WINE
I truly love the pleasure of pairing the right wine with the right food and occasion. It’s an on-going education and happy hobby to learn about the vast number of varietals and the how the “Terroir” from one place in the world can taste dramatically different to another. It’s trial and error, indeed, but why not try something new and expand one’s own oenological palate!
I always have our menus and value in mind when tasting and selecting wine.
I look for a global representation, selling in the $20-$45 range, that pair with our foods and the occasion.
And the convenience of screw off caps is very appealing!
Most wines are available only through boutique distributors, in other words,
I hope you will find our list to be special and unique.
Sante! ~ Julie
