2021 VINCENZO ROSADO  
A classic light off-dry blush rosado reminiscent of yesteryears classic Bernardo Winery Vin Rose. Notes of strawberry, rhubarb, rose petal and honey.  
$28 bottle, $10 glass 

2022 TRAMONTO 
Meaning ‘sunset’ in Italian, this wine is Bernardo Winery’s happy accident. A blend of 2 varietals not usually blended together (Muscat & Pinot Gris) makes for a complex and delicious semi-sweet wine you won’t find anywhere else. 
$32 bottle, $14 glass  

2021 MOSCATO 
Famous for being harvested at Bernardo Winery with record-breaking sugar content, Muscat is a long-time San Diego resident that’s been grown here since 1889. A classic wine with notes of honeysuckle and peaches with a citrusy crisp sweetness.$28 bottle, $10 glass 

2020 VINO di ROSARIO 
Our house red wine. Ross Sr.’s wine made, once again, at Bernardo Winery. We celebrate the clean, easy-drinking red that Ross Sr. made decades ago by producing a blend similar in style and character. Notes of dark fruit, grape and berry. Light tannin, mellow acid and perfect for any occasion.  
$32 bottle, $14 glass  

2019 FRATELLI 
Blends make sense in a wine region that enjoys lots of microclimates and a huge differentiation in wine grape varietals. Aglianico and Carignane, both varietals suited perfectly for our wine-growing region. Light, fresh and satisfying with notes of blueberry juice, raspberry and black olive.  
$32 bottle, $14 glass 

2019 PETITE SIRAH  
Notes of dark cherry, plum and raisin mark this Petite Sirah as robust and rustic. An old-world red picked from younger vines of less than 6 years old makes for a wine that doesn’t exhibit the traditional Petite Sirah characteristics. Nonetheless a drinkable, delicious red.  
$28 bottle, $12 glass 

2019 SYRAH 
A lighter, more subtle Syrah with a bouquet bursting of dark cherry and raspberry. Notes of cranberry, persimmon, black currant, cinnamon, and white pepper. Soft tannins and light acidity beg for creamy pastas or can be enjoyed by itself as a solo sipper.   
$32 bottle, $14 glass  

2020 AMANTI 
A blend of majority Petite Sirah and a splash of Cabernet Franc, this red blend is a balanced wine through and through. Notes of blackberry cobbler, anise, toasted oak round out a well-formed and balanced red from San Diego.  
$46 bottle, $17 glass 

2019 MERLOT 
A classic southern italian merlot grown in our similar climate here in San Diego. Green pepper and jalapeno abound on the nose with rich notes of blackberry, cardamom, dark cherry and toasted oak.  
$38 bottle, $15 glass
