Bubbles

4 pours
Emergency Blow label
Emergency Blow$36  ·  glass $10

Traminette label
Traminette$28  ·  glass $9
Aromatic and crisp — floral on the nose, all-spice meets citrus, naturally high acid, clean finish. Pairs with seafood.
Petit Manseng label
Petit Manseng$40  ·  glass $10
Golden hue, luscious yellow fruit and honey. Full-bodied with bright fruit and a luxurious texture — the longest hang time we’ve given the grapes.
Uisce Beatha label
Uisce Beatha$36  ·  glass $10
Dry Traminette aged in Irish Whiskey barrels — softens the florals into a smooth, rounded mouthfeel.
Slàinte Mhath label
Slàinte Mhath$36  ·  glass $10
A Chardonnay like no other — finished in Ardbeg Scotch barrels. Peat, smoke, and a creamy finish.

Rosés

1 pour
Mountain Park Sunset label
Mountain Park Sunset$29  ·  glass $9
Old-world-meets-new Rosé with minerality and savory notes, made Provençal style. Red fruit and a beautiful sunset in a glass.

Reds

4 pours
Mountain Park Medley label
Mountain Park Medley$30  ·  glass $9
Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Nero — structured with red and black fruit, a touch of spice, higher acid. Pairs with red meats and rustic dishes.
Lola label
Lola$45  ·  glass $13
Our boldest red — a labor of love dedicated to Crista’s mom, Margie. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot aged in new Hungarian Oak. Dark fruit, mild tannins.
Eclipse label
Eclipse$37  ·  glass $9
Juicy dark fruit — plums and black cherries — with a smooth dark side that lingers into a pleasing vanilla finish.
Bumping Holler label
Bumping Holler$38  ·  glass $10
Old world meets new with this red wine blend aged in bourbon barrel, which lends a strong finish of caramels and vanillas. Enjoy with steak, s’mores, and smoked gouda.
