WORLDLY WHITE WINES       $14.00 FLIGHT

Tilia Chardonnay

100% Chardonnay grown on sustainably-farmed vineyards in Mendoza. Titlia is the Latin name for Linden, a native tree known for its flavorful flowers.

Tenute Niccolai Vernaccia di San Gimignano

2008            Toscana, Italia

Tuscany’s most famous and original white wine, and the only white able to hold its own against the great reds traditionally produced in this region.

Laurenz V “Singing” Grüner Veltliner

2008            Weinviertel, Austria

BEAUTIFUL BUBBLY        $14.00 FLIGHT

Cá Furlan “Cuvée Beatrice” Spumante Prosecco

NV            Veneto, Italia

Prosecco just plain rules: It is lighter and zestier and more aromatic but never actually sweet with crisp, refreshing acidity to take on anything

Montelliana “Mont Rosé” Vino Spumante Cuvée

NV            Veneto, Italia

Cantina Montelliana specializes in Veneto’s native fruits, and loves making bubbles, such as this extra dry rosé.

Terredavino “Monticelli” Moscato d’Asti

A pleasantly sweet and delightful Moscato d’Asti sure to make you smile. Grapes grown in the town of Monticelli Ricaldone.

A TASTE OF CALIFORNIA      $15.50 FLIGHT

Testa Rossa Pinot Noir

SAVORY SANGIOVESE       $15.00 FLIGHT
