Fortunately, some things change...

Over the past year we've occasionally tasted wine from eastern European countries and been intrigued by how delicious, interesting, and affordable they are. We've now collected the best of what we've tasted and want to give you a chance to taste them too. Stay curious and join us this Friday through Sunday for a unique former "RED" tasting flight:
- Edi Simcic Chardonnay 2005 Slovenia
- Kogl Saemling (white) Podravje 2007 Slovenia
- Szoke Mátyás, Irsai Oliver (white) 2008 Mátraalja Hungary
- Citluk, Vranac reserve 2007 Bosnia-Herzegovina
- Pfneiszl, Kekfrankos, 2006 Sopron Hungary
- Bibich Riserva 2007 Croatia (new vintage!)
| Stetson Robbins of Blue Danube, who has visited some of these producers and introduced us to most of these wines, will join us Friday evening. $17. Reservations Recommended.
Special Wine & Cheese Pairing ends this Thursday

Beach Restaurant Week. It's been a great success. The wines are top
notch and the cheeses sublime. All the wine is offered at nice discount to those who experience the flight. Only $20. Reservations not required but you can make them by (clicking here)
