For those of you who have been to the cellar in the past, you know it could use a good thinning from time to time and when the outlaw from the East Coast comes to town he does his best to play that role.
The wines listed below were pulled throughout the week by the in-house Sommelier, Mike Wojo. Most of these wines were pulled earlier in the week and put on the table for a quick "see something, pull something" mindset.
Please note the table in the middle of the cellar and the amount of wine selected for immediate tasting HERE.
While we tried our best this trip to clear the table, we can never keep up with the new wine that gets delivered each year.
I must also say we didn't have a bad bottle in the list below. May your summer trip/s be enjoyable and may your path/s cross a bottle of white or red of your choosing.
