Sparkling-Astoria Lounge Prosecco 29-
This prosecco is straw yellow in color with greenish reflections. It has floral aromas, along with generous amounts of pear and Golden Delicious apple. Creamy, full, and harmonious on the palate.
White
-Ritratti Pinot Grigio 33-
Pale gold in color, this wine has a big nose of caramel and honeysuckle with creamy underpinnings. It is crisp with peach and pineapple flavors that burst on the palate. It has good mouth feel with flavors that linger. The finish is long with citrus notes.
Red
-Villa Dante Toscana Super Tuscan IGT 25-
This wine is a lush and lively blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot. It is aged 12 months in oak and the another 2 years in the bottle just like a Brunello, allowing the tannins to soften and the rich flavors of ripe black cherry and cedary spice to emerge and linger on the palate with perfect balance.
