Wines of the Week

  1. Vinho Verde - A perfect partner to Monday's prawn and mint salad. Its light body and crisp acidity will complement the bright flavors in the salad.
  2. Assyrtiko from Santorini - The Greek salad and chicken on Tuesday will pair excellently with this vibrant, tangy white wine.
  3. Rosado from Rioja - For Friday's BBQ chicken pizza, we suggest a Spanish rosΓ©. Its balance between fruit and acidity will pair well with the sweet BBQ sauce.
