!!Orin Swift Wines HERE!!
Zinfandel, 8 Years in the Desert, Orin Swift
It all started in 2008, when Dave Phinney sold The Prisoner brand. By doing so, he entered an 8-year non-compete where he could barely utter the word Zinfandel. In that 8-year exile, Dave published a book named 8 Years in the Desert which would become the name of his next ode to the Zinfandel grape.

Wine
Cabernet, La Storia
"The 2021 La Storia Cab has a dense ruby-purple color followed by abundant varietal aromas and flavors of blueberries, blackberry, and black licorice with hint of herbs and ripe olives. The French oak aging contributes aromas of vanilla, cocoa dust and slight toast. The mouth feel is medium dense, fresh and juicy with balanced acidy and very soft tannins for a young wine."
Cabernet, Pied à Terre
Blueberry, black cherry, vanilla. On palate, rich + friendly mouthfeel with a long finish. Winemaker Richard Luftig, Brooklyn native, is a highly regarded Wine Director, having worked in the food and wine industry since starting as a busboy at age 13. His approach to winemaking is "The farmer's footprint is the best fertilizer. When the land is well-trodden, the vine will be well-tended, the details not overlooked". He seeks out farmers who are attentive in the vineyard, and he then seeks to not manipulate the wine in the cellar. The wine is a pure expression of the land, with cellar work to enhance the beauty, not change its destiny.
Chardonnay, Vinca Minor, Sonoma 2022
Malbec, Red Schooner
Dry, medium to full bodied Malbec produced by the highly acclaimed Wagner family of Caymus. Silky and smooth on the palate, with more lush plum and ripe tannins carrying through to a long finish. BEST VALUE WINE for this price point!
Prosecco, Cordiali
Crisp, effervescent Italian sparkling wine, boasting a delicate fruity bouquet, vibrant citrus notes. Pleasantly balanced.
Red Blend, Bring It 2021
Red Blend, Unlitro, Ampeleia
Tannat, Garzon Rerserva
A juicy, full-bodied wine. Rich purple in color with very fresh aromas reminiscent of red and black fruits such as plums and raspberries, with a delicate spicy nose. In the mouth, it presents a strong personality. Its mature tannins and minerality transform it into a wine with great soil identity.
Red Blend, Glou Glou by Las Jaras
2022 blend of Carignan and Zinfandel from actor/comedian turned Mendocino Winemaker, Eric Wareheim. French for "glug glug" this glou glou is bright, chewy, chuggable deliciousness! Serve with a slight chill and watch it disappear.
Zinfandel, La Storia, Alexander Valley
The wine is bright and lively with intensevarietal aromas of Bing cherry, blueberry, and plums and a hint of violets. The fine oak barrel aging brings in subtle aromas of vanilla, maple, cocoa beans and slight toast and smokiness. The mouth feel is solid, with medium to full body and very soft and elegant tannins that accentuate the wine's long and juicy finish with lively acidity. Zinfandels when balanced are very versatile food pairing wines with broad range and this wine will satisfy your palate with many of your favorite dishes. The wine is delicious now but with some patience and proper aging in 2-5 years it will be even better.

Beer
Lone Pint Yellow Rose IPA
16 oz IPA from Magnolia,Tx. brewery, Lone Pint
Great Heights Blue Tile IPA 16 oz.
Assertively hoppy but not overly bitter American IPA loaded with 100% Mosaic hops, a nod to the blue mosaic tile address inlays found on curbs around Houston. 6.6% ABV
Eureka Heights Somethin' Light
At 100 calories, these gloriously light, crispy boys are robust with flavor, not carbs, only 3 to be exact. Made for you and Texas' hot summer nights.
Deep Eddy Grapefruit Vodka Soda
Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka Soda
Karbach Crawford Bock 16 oz
Karbach Crawford Bock is so smooth you can easily stretch that single into a double. A portion of the proceeds from every Crawford Bock goes to the Astros Foundation! 4.5% ABV
Ranch Rider Ranch Water
Saint Arnold Lawnmower
A true German-style Kölsch. Originally brewed in Cologne, this beer is crisp and refreshing, yet has a sweet malty body that is balanced by a complex, citrus hop character. Multiple additions of German Hallertauer hops are used to achieve this delicate flavor. We use a special Kölsch yeast, an ale yeast that ferments at lager temperatures, to yield the slightly fruity, clean flavor of this beer. Lawnmower is a world class brew yet light enough to be enjoyed by Texans after strenuous activities, like mowing the lawn.
Saint Arnold Summer Pils
Crisp and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. Saint Arnold Summer Pils has a delicate, sweet malt taste complemented by an abundant hop aroma and flavor.
True Anomaly Ben's House IPA
If you're not a hop that's from the West Coast you're not invited to this party. Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial are used throughout. Lingering bitter notes are complemented by classic West Coast floral and citrus aromas.BEN, ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF TRUE ANOMALY, DEVELOPED THIS TASTY IPA LONG AGO IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE TABCO BREWING HEADQUARTERS (AKA HIS GARAGE). AFTER EXPERIMENTING WITH VARIOUS YEAST STRAINS WE FOUND A PARTICULAR ENGLISH ALE YEAST THAT IMPARTS A RICH, COMPLEX FLAVOR PROFILE WHICH BALANCES THE HOP-FORWARD CHARACTER OF THIS WEST COAST/HOUSE IPA.ABV = 6.9%; 65 IBU's
Ranch Rider Tequila Paloma
Our take on Mexico's favorite cocktail. Reposado tequila, sparkling water, sea salt, & fresh squeezed grapefruit, lime, & orange.

Always love Local Foods but here to comment to bring back the spicy margarita! The new cocktails are a step down from what we were used to before. My family would love Crunchy Chicken Sandwich with a spicy margarita on the side and it just doesn’t hit the same without it.

Love Local Foods! The atmosphere is great, with a wonderful outside dining area. There are so many food options, even for those with special nutritional needs. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend this restaurant!
