ROAST BLUEFISH with Rattle Root Farm ROMESCO + PETITE CARROTS, a herbaceous SALSA VERDE + a salad CASTELFRANCO RADDICHIO. What more could one need?!?
OH WAIT… WINE! There’s no better time to introduce you to The Wines of Cogli L’attimo 🍇 Cogli l’Attimo, meaning “Seize the Moment,” is a project from winemaker Serena Anselma, of Novello, a tiny village of just 1,000 residents in one of the eleven official Barolo-producing municipalities. Serena’s family, the Giachino’s, have lived + farmed on this hillside since the 1600s. Today, Serena celebrates her family’s history, carong for the 3.5 hectares of vines, and bringign to life this Nascetta—a rare + recently rediscovered native white grape- vineyards in the Del Commune di Novello. Serena approaches both vineyard + cellar work with respect for the land. She + her mother handle most of the vineyard tasks themselves, with her father stepping in on weekends for the heavier tractor work. The 2023 NAS-CËTTA spends 12 months on the lees + rests in bottle before release. In the glass, a golden straw with elegant concentration is met with subtle banana + tropical aromatics. A developing palate reveals orange blossom, sweet herbs + starfruit, a longer + engaged finish strolls through orchard fruit + citrus peel. A precise wine, bold character, and our sunday supper pick for all these veggies + bluefish! Let us try it out on you tonight 🫶

SPICE MONOPOLY 🏴‍☠️ It’s PUNCHY
NEW COCKTAIL this week “SPICE MONOPOLY” a split base spirit of XICARU MEZCAL + BATAVIA ARRACK with BANANA LIQUEUR + CITRUS.
BATAVIA ARRACK is a historic, sugarcane-and-red-rice spirit produced on the island of Java, Indonesia, that predates modern rum. From the late 17th to 19th century, in an age when “Punch” was a celebration of all things then luxurious—citrus, sugar, and spice—no Punch was without a true Batavia Arrack. Made from sugar cane + fermented red rice, and bottled at elevated proof without aging, Batavia Arrack van Oosten combines smoky fruitiness with a vegetal funk. Made exclusively on Java, Indonesia, dating back to the early 17th century during the Dutch colonial era. The best cocktails come with a lil’ history lesson 📚
Visit us this weekend! REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS for LABOR DAY WEEKEND cause we want as much opportunity to see you 😍 SATURDAY night DINNER 5-9 P.M. + SUNDAY ALL DAY with BRUNCH 10-2 + Sunday SUPPER 2-8 P.M. 🫶
