All our French wines at $7 per glass ($28 per bottle), one night only:
Fleurie 2007, Joseph Drouhin: This wine is bold & forward, very pleasurable & has a fleshy & generous palate, an intense color, lively berry aromas, & subtle notes of black pepper. $7
Pinot Blanc 2007, Domaine Pfister, Vin d’Alsace: This is a great refreshing dry white wine. A light white wine with citrus, melon, pear, apricot flavors & mineral undertones combined with characteristic high acidity. $7
Mâcon-Lugny 2005 Chardonnay, Regnard: Floral & fruity aromas, with touches of lemon & butter. In the mouth, this fruity wine has a good balance between the typical fleshy Chardonnay & a pleasant freshness. $7
Domaine de Givaudan, Côtes du Rhone 2007: 2007 is an excellent year for Cotes du Rhone. (70% Grenache & 30% Syrah). Color: deep ruby - almost purple nose: violets, raspberry/cherry jam, red licorice, minerality. palate: spiced red fruits, licorice. Cotes du Rhones are usually a safe bet on the wine list when you're looking for a full bodied wine. $7
