Most researchers believe beer is the first alcoholic beverage produced by man. They are undoubtedly right since the fermentation of grape juice into wine occurs naturally.

All hail the first early man who noticed the lid move and even jump on the pot of grapes he picked and set in the corner of the cave.  Well, actually, all hail the first early man who actually took a sip of the grape juice in the pot and remarked, ”Fruity, with notes of blackberry, pepper and raspberry and a slightly earthy tone with a bright finish!” Ok, he probably just grunted in pleased surprise but the discovery had been made.

The only thing this guy had to do was wait for the grapes to ripen.And, things have not changed much from his world to ours.

We are a small restaurant in a small town in a lightly populated state.Yet, we are able to bring wines from around the world to enhance our guests’ pleasure and dining experience.

Wines By The Glass
We strive to offer a wide variety of Wines By the Glass with two tiered pricing. We list wines by the varietal and offer as many of each as we can gather within the price of $6.50 or $11.50 a glass. We sometimes have as many as 10 to 12 wines available. Most are special purchases of wines we would love to add to the wine list. The availability of the wine is usually so limited that we are only allowed to purchase a few cases. So, we pass on these little treasures to our guests as we find them. This means we are unable to list Wines By The Glass specifically since they will sell out within a week or two.  But, here is a sample list:

Gruet Sparkling Wine, New Mexico            6.50                                     Franciscan, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, 2008     6.50
