Small Plates and Pairings

Weekly Bar Bites and Weekend Small Plate Specials
Did you know we now have small bar bites throughout the week? This is a great opportunity to have a glass of wine (or two) and a cheese plate or burrata, even fresh oysters many nights. Pictured is our new vinho verde that would pair perfectly, from Joanna Santiago who is raising the bar on this immensely quaffable sipper.
On the weekends, Chef Bobby is preparing a special small plate, or two. This weekend will offer up some house made mushroom agneloti as well as a seared duck breast portion. Both which will be perfect with the red Burgundy from Chevrot we are running by the glass. |

Have you ever tried sake? Wondered about the difference between cold and hot sake? Wanted to know more about how it is made and the variations between different types? If so (or if you just want a deliciously different night out in Winston) we have the event for you!
We are thrilled to have Chris of World Sake Imports returning to the store. His last visit was fun and interesting and we are adding food this time. We plan to have a little sit down class (20-30 minutes) as he presents sake and then Chef Bobby has crafted a wonderful buffet style menu to pair with a range of four sakes.
