Red Wine
Solid Ground Pinot Noir, 750ml red wine (14.0%25 ABV)
A perfect example of Lodi terroir, this Pinot expresses big fruit and ample richness for the varietal. The nose pops with lots of floral tones, cherry, raspberry and hints of blackberry. The blackberry notes, from the blended Zinfandel, gives this wine its distinct Lodi character. The palate is soft and round, with good weight for the varietal, yet still maintains the gentle acidity in the mid-palate that is distinctly Pinot. Pairs well with Pulled Pork Dishes, Pasta and Roasted Chicken.

 I attended with two friends for dinner. Had a Caesar salad and garlic bread with cheese. The garlic bread was delicious. The Caesar salad was okay - croutons were bland, dressing was also bland. Lettuce was not so fresh. Not sure if I will return, I was disappointed.

Our server, Muskan was attentive and patient and ensured our food selections were as ordered. We were able to take advantage of half prize appetizers. The calamari, pasta and pizza were delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and the complimentary piece of cake was appreciated.

Great food and great service! I had the chef's feature (gnocchi gorgonzola) and my partner had the fig and prosciutto pizza.. everything was delicious! We'll definitely come back soon
