SPARKLING

ORO DI BERNARDO ~ $25 bottle, $10 glass
California sparkling wine with notes of peaches and honey. Dry to off-dry character.

WHITE & DRY ROSADO

2016 CHABLIS ~ $24 bottle, $10 glass
Blended white made in the Ol’ Italian style. Soft, light, semi-dry white wine. A blend of French Colombard and Chenin Blanc.

2018 VIOGNIER San Diego County $30 bottle, $13 glass
A slight deviation from the classic Rhone viognier, we decided to run this fruity, acidic white grape as a more refreshing, sharp and green-fruit-forward wine instead, teeming with satisfying tartness and similar to a new-world sauvignon blanc. Notes of green apple, sweet summer lemonade and pineapple guava

2019 VIOGNIER San Diego County $30 bottle, $13 glass
A slight difference in attention to detail in the vineyard can go a long way in the final bottle and this viognier is a shining example of that. With slightly more foliage cover and picking a little later, the fruit have given us some delicious flavors of guava, green banana, white peach, and almond. Wonderfully refreshing and great with light cheeses.

2016 CHARDONNAY $25 bottle, $10 glass
A balanced chardonnay that pairs perfectly with the warm San Diego sun. Fruity yet savoury, lightly buttery yet crisp. Citrus and hints of oak throughout. 

2019 PRIMAVERA  ROSADO San Diego County ~ Estate Vineyards $28 bottle, $11 glass
The gentlest, most refreshing rosado produced at Bernardo with notes of watermelon, strawberry and lime. A light blend of Syrah and Barbera makes this rosado balanced and drinkable in the summer sun.

RED

2019 GRENACHE Rupe Vineyard  San Diego County *On Tap* $50 ½ gallon growler, $30 carafe, $12 glass

2018 VINCENZO BIANCO
San Diego County  65% Chardonnay, 25% Viognier, 10% Sauvignon Blanc
Barrel-aged and fermented, light skin contact, malolactic fermentation: all the great things that go into a very well-rounded and balanced vintage white wine. All San Diego County fruit, this wine is reminiscent of the mid-90s style Carneros chardonnay with notes of banana, toasted oak, buttered fresh bread, vanilla and sesame.      $75

2017 GRENACHE
San Diego County  - rupe vineyard – Escondido
Super fruity with light oak and classic maraschino cherry finish. Grenache grows really well in our microclimate here in north County San Diego and this wine is an example of how soft tannin, fruit and a balanced approach can be achieved thousands of miles away from this grape’s origin.  $75

Akin to coastal sicilian reds like Nero di Avola with primary notes of boysenberry, cassis, prune, and tertiary notes of steeped tea leaves and toasted oak.          $75

2016 CABERNET FRANC
San Diego County - means vineyard – valley center – cabernet franc - 90% cabernet franc/10% syrah
