1997….$98/bottle WINE LIST 2005/2006/2007 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence Winner
We thank you and your family for joining ours here at the Grill Room for an unforgettable dining experience that is bound to become a tradition for us all to look forward to.
Our attempt is to provide choices in all price ranges to fit the occasion of your visit, whether it be celebrating a birthday or an anniversary, a first date, a night out with the guys/girls or just a bottle of wine after work.
After countless hours of tasting, research and debate, we have built a collection of wines that we feel truly complements our menu. We are constantly trying new wines and adding to and subtracting from the list. So, it is possible that we may be out of a selection or two from time to time. Our apologies if that happens to you!
This edition of the wine list features a small selection of half bottles from some of the world’s top wineries. My wife and I often find half bottles convenient when we can’t decide or agree what to order or only want a glass or so of wine.
We have also expanded our number of wines under $40. Currently we have about 70 different selections that fall in that price range.
All of our wines by the glass, specialty cocktails and beers are listed on page two of the dinner menu.
