OUR WINE LIST
Owner François Louy & Sommelier, Rocco Spagnardi, work hard to create one of the most unique and affordable wine lists in the city.
Focusing on the hard to find varietals, our list introduces the most passionate producers in Italy who take pride in respecting the unique characteristics of the land and grape varietals.
We believe wine is an essential part of a meal & work hard to choose wines that best complement our menu.
In an effort to bring you these wines at reasonable prices, we have the lowest mark up in the industry & whenever we find a great deal on a fantastic wine, we pass it on to you.

JUST IN :
This year, the Gambero Rosso voted ANTONIOLO, from northern Piemonte, as winery of the year. To celebrate, we are bringing in, directly from the producer himself, some of the most coveted vintages they've ever had. As usual, because these wines are exclusive to us, prices are well below what they should be. Using 100% Nebbiolo grapes, Antoniolo's wines, grown on volcanic and ancient glacier soils, are rich in minerals, harmonious, and are considered to be some of the most elegant and well-structured Nebbiolo's ever made in the region. The grapes are always hand-picked, delicately pressed, and extreme care is put into every bottle released.

1961 - The first great vintage for the producer, is also the year Nonno Mario's (the original wine maker) first grandson was born. So 5,000 bottles were set aside in honor of his birth, and a few of them have now been released to us.
Our price: $215

1999 - "San Francesco" - Single vineyard, with wonderful ripe plums and sweet spices. Intense flavor with long finish. Aged for three and a half years before being released.
Our price: $89

2000 - "Castelle" - Single vineyard. 90 points from Robert Parker, who calls Antoniolo northern Piemonte's "most ambitious, quality minded producer." This vintage has a low yield and prime vineyard site, giving it great structure. More violets and dried roses on the nose, full on the palate with both body and flavor. Delicate finish
Our price: $74

2003 - "Castelle" - Single Vineyard. Another great vintage that also recieved 90 points from RP. Fresher on the palate than the 2000, with more rasberry and toasted almond. Two years in barrique, one in bottle, delicate finish.
Our price: $74
