  • WINE

    • MARQUES DE GELIDA, CAVA BRUT GRAN RESERVA

      A ALCOHOL You can't go wrong with bubbles. This is a "grower" sparkling wine, meaning it's grown, produced, and bottled at a single estate. It's dry, balanced, and goes with literally everything.
      $13.00
    • A.A. BADENHORST, SECATEURS

      A ALCOHOL (CHENIN BLANC) This dry white wine is from Swartland, a coastal region of South Africa. It's just the ticket if you're looking for something similar to a Chardonnay, and pairs particularly well with Saag Paneer.
      $10.00
    • PRAJA, MONICA DI SARDEGNA

      A ALCOHOL (MONICA) The Monica grape is almost exclusively found on the island of Sardinia (possibly with Spanish origins). This is a light red wine, and we serve it with a slight chill.
      $15.00
    • OVUM, BIG SALT

      A ALCOHOL (GEWURZ, RIESLING, MUSCAT) This wine a co-ferment, rather than a blend. Meaning, the grapes are fermented together, letting mother nature develop the complexity. The result is perfectly aromatic and crisp!
      $15.00
    • FUSO, TERRE SICILIANE

      A ALCOHOL (CATARRATTO) This orange wine is semi-dry, with 12-20 days of skin contact. It's got a touch of that signature orange "funkiness," and we really love it paired with Aloo Tiki Chaat.
      $12.00
    • FUSO, VINO ROSSO

      A ALCOHOL (BARBERA) Italians call it "the wine of the people!" This 100% Barbera is produced by Piedmont winemaker, Walter Massa, and it's an excellent match for our lamb dishes.
