Sparkling Wine Selection (750 ml bottles)
Adriano Adami Garbel Prosecco

and a touch of honey. A bit of Italy brought to you!

years before the first champagne was created. We think you’ll enjoy this marvelous sparkling wine.
Schramsberg 2006 Blanc de Blanc
$40.00/bottle
This Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine is as close an approximation to real Champagne as anything
available here in the US. This bubbly is light and balanced with pear and apple cobbler flavors that
linger on the finish. It has been served at every presidential inauguration since the Nixon
administration.
Single Serving Sparkling Wine Selection (187 ml)
Cantine Maschio Prosecco Brut

A perfect way to unwind with a single serving-sized bottle, this wine hails from the hills of Treviso,

This wine from New Zealand brings with it intense aromas of limes, grapefruit, and underlying rich
tropical fruit. An inviting and fine texture brings out the citrus and currant flavors. Pure fruit and
vibrant acidity leave a sustained, dry finish.
Starmont Merryvale Chardonnay Also avail. in full bottle

fermentation, aging on the lees and malolactic fermentation contribute to the wine’s richness and long,
silky finish.

$10.00/bottle
Hailing from the Rhone Valley in eastern France, this red wine features a blend of Syrah, Grenache
Noir and Mourvedre varietals. Elevage (“resting of the wine”) is employed to create a wine that is
full-bodied with hints of chocolate, berries and spices. Kings Estate Pinot Noir
$15.00/bottle
This 2012 selection, from the Willamette Valley of Oregon, is a deep garnet with a bright ruby tint.
This wine starts with full aromas of cherry, raspberry, eucalyptus, and spice, followed by flavors of
pomegranate, vanilla, cherry, oak and lavender, and ending with a long and lively finish.
Hess Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon
$16.00/bottle
*Non-Alcoholic selections include sodas: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale and Pellegrino

raspberry, blackberry, plum and a touch of sweet spicy oak. The wine is smooth and supple, but with a
broad base of tannins that give it heft.
Merryvale Starmont Cabarnet Sauvignon
$16.00/bottle
Dark purple in color with generous aromas of currants, blackberry, licorice, chocolate, black olive,
espresso and vanilla. The wine is round and full on the palate with forward fruit and great structure
from the balanced acid and tannins.
White Wine Selection (750 ml bottles)
Riff Terra Alpina Pinot Grigio
$11.00/bottle
The wine is produced from grapes grown in vineyards located on the slopes of the Alpine Dolomite
foothills in Italy, abundant in the prized alluvial dolomite, a limestone made of fossil deposits from an
ancient ocean that covered the region 4.6 million years ago. Light, crisp and nice acid, what Pinot
Grigio should be.
Novellum Chardonnay
$13.00/bottle
Nectarine, apple, lily, heliotrope, acacia, and toasted nuts in the nose usher in a palate on which the
bitterness of apple pie, fruit pit, and herbs offers counterpoint to luscious nectarine, to a creamy
texture, and to hints of caramel, browned butter, vanilla, and nutmeg. Perfect if you prefer a non-oak
French Chardonnay.
Ranga Ranga Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, New Zealand
$12.00/bottle
Crisp acidity carries a solid core of lemon grass, lime zest along with a hint of dried herbs and a touch
of minerality. This sauvignon blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand packs a fresh, zingy punch on
the finish.
Burgans Albarino
$15.00/bottle
Coming from the Burgan hills of Spain, this pale gold wine is made using the Albarino grape varietal.
It has received critical acclaim for its flavors of pineapple, mango and peach within a crisp, dry citrusy
background.
Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, Australia
$18.00/bottle
The wine is fruit-driven in style, with complexity from lees ageing for several months in stainless steel
tanks before bottling. This wine is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with intense flavors and
crisp acid in a dry style.
Ferraro-Carano Fume Blanc

The Russian River Valley fruit imparts crisp acidity, while the Alexander Valley grapes are ripe with
honeysuckle and melon. Floral and herbal notes from the Dry Creek Valley round out this wine,
making it sensational for summer quaffing.

tasty choice. Noted for apple, pear and citrus tones. Only a hint of oak.
Starmont Merryvale Chardonnay
$22.00/bottle
Many fine Napa Valley vineyards added their individual character to this wine. French oak barrel
fermentation, aging on the lees and malolactic fermentation contributed to the wine’s richness and
long, silky finish.
Red Wine Selection (750 ml bottles)
Rio Madre Graciano Rioja
$12.00/bottle
Rio Madre is concentrated and powerful on the palate, with a spicy note building with air. Intense

good acidity, and wonderful blue/purple fruited lively fruit.

Produced by Sleight of Hand Cellars in Washington State, this is a wine that compares very well with
more expensive red wines. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot. It exhibits lots
of red and black fruits, scents of loamy minerality, and fine grained tannins that are matched with
balanced acidity
Yalumba Shiraz Viognier
$13.00/bottle
This Shiraz has aromas that are both wild and exotic. Blueberries, violets and cherry ripe notes from
the Shiraz are elevated by the subtle influence of Viognier, which brings an alluring Turkish delight
character. The well rounded palate is medium- to full-bodied and shows Turkish delight and cherry
ripe flavors that are in harmony with the silky tannins.
Project Paso Old Vine Zinfandel
$15.00/bottle
A solid Zin -- dark, zesty and ripe, showcasing aromas of red raspberry, black pepper, anise and notes
of dill. This full and bold wine combine lively acidity with subtle power from the 16 month American
oak regimen.
Rickshaw Pinot Noir
$15.00 /bottle
This Pinot Noir is sourced from the Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley appellations in California.
Everything a Pinot Noir should be: well balanced and delicious. The nose offers up sweet cherry
notes, rose petals and a touch of forest floor. The wine is suave and pleasantly juicy on the palate with
notes of plum, dark cherry and pomegranate.
Fableist Merlot
$20.00 /bottle
A classic claret Merlot. The silky texture leaves behind hints of sweet plums, warm cedar planks, and
freshly ground spices.

$20.00/bottle

too heavy on the tannins.
Juan Gil Monastrell Silver Label, Jumilla, Spain
$24.00/bottle
*Non-Alcoholic selections include sodas: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale and Pellegrino
Grapes used to produce this wine come from old vineyards; chalky and stony soils, poor in nutrients,
are ideal for the growing of the Monastrell variety. This wine has been kept for 12 months in French
oak barrels.
Owen Roe Abbots Table 2012
$25.00/bottle
The innkeeper unabashedly loves Owen Roe red wines. This wine is a blend of five grapes:
Zinfandel, Merlot, Sangiovese, Malbec and Lemberger. Lots of great flavors come together for a
satisfying glass of wine; pairs well with lots of different food and is ever so drinkable all by itself.

length.

Brewed right here in Burlington! This English-style pale ale is a pleasing blend of hoppy, fruity, and
malty flavors; a true Vermont favorite.

while promoting their beers to various Burlington restaurants and retailers. We think their beer
is terrific, and believe you will too!)

If you are craving a Heady Topper, try this IPA. It’s a delicious one with generous hops and the kiss
of malt sweetness balances this IPA. The nose is upfront with galaxy hops, lending nuances of
grapefruit, pine and some tropical notes.
G-String Pale Ale
$3.00/12oz. can
A good summer beer – thirst quenching, not too heavy; it’s smooth and drinkable. Nice flavorful light

pale ale is as good as it gets.
