Friday night, paired just right. 🍷🍕🍝🥂
Start with Mt. Beautiful Pinot Gris 2018 from North Canterbury, New Zealand, with notes of stone fruit, apple, juicy ripe pear, and a touch of floral honey.
Or reach for Matsu El Recio 2023, a Tinta de Toro from dry-farmed vineyards in Toro, Spain, alongside one of our scratch-made pizzas.
Pizza, pasta, a beautiful bottle, and a table worth lingering over. Which are you pouring first?
