7th Aniversary Celebration Cellar Treasures

Come in and order one of our anniversary feasts, say "Happy Anniversary" or just say "Whee is my free wine" and we will pour you a splash of somethign really good. For Venice, we will front load starting Friday with 12 bottles of Amarone {Bussola and some other older vintages inclusing a Zenato Riserve from the 90's} Valpolicella including Dal forno romano {opened Friday night at 6pm} and some high alcohol, amarone style zins from California. On the 18, we reset to Montalcino and will ahve some brilliant Brunellos, older rosso di Montalcinos and some aged California cabs that are structures similarly to Montalcino.

The rules: we have open what we have open. You gotta eat dinner. You gotta mention the cellar treasures. You snooze, you lose. Only one Dal Forno will be opened. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Don't look back, something large with big teeth may be gaining on you. If that large, big toothed thing has a napkin around its neck and is holding a bottle of condiments, walk faster!

Friday July 6 is our 7th anniversary. We are updating the menu with Venice inspired dishes and a special 4 course Venice feast for $44, with a wine flight match for $19.
