Sips & Tips for Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

It's March and we’re heading to Sonoma, California to pour four incredible wines from the region's leading producers.  Join us March 20 – 26 to see (and taste) what all the buzz is about!

Merry Edwards is considered a pioneer of California's fine wine production.  Prior to venturing out on her own, she worked for world-class wineries Mount Eden and Matanzas Creek.  She now creates some of the best wines in Sonoma. The Merry Edwards, Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley, California ($8 3oz / $16 6oz) is available year-round on our wine list. Aromatic notes of white peach and crème brûlee give way to ruby red grapefruit and tangerine zest on the palate.  This wine makes a delicious match for our Mahi-Mahi with Enoki Mushrooms, Daikon, and Mustard Vinaigrette.

Founded in 1978, Kistler Vineyards has always focused on using old-world Burgundian winemaking techniques.  Imparting concentrated aromas of white peach and green apple, the Kistler, Les Noisetiers, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, California ($12 3oz / $24 6oz) easily compares to some of the greatest white wines found in Burgundy, France.  Silky and seductive on the palate, I would recommend pairing this with our Dover Sole and Brown Butter Sauce.

At Hartford Court, they have a saying: “High Risk, High Reward Single Vineyard Wines." The risk definitely pays off in the Hartford Court, Fog Dance, Pinot Noir, Green Valley, California ($14 3oz /$28 6oz). Using grapes grown in a cold, windy area of Sonoma, this wine exhibits notes of tart red cherries and fresh red fruit, delicately covering the palate and partnering perfectly with our Herb-Roasted Chicken.

Knights Valley is tucked away in an ancient volcanic zone of northeast Sonoma. The region is diverse in soil and climate, and is perfectly suited for Cabernet Sauvignon. The Anakota, Helena Dakota Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Knights Valley, California ($16 3oz / $32 6oz) is sourced from estate-owned, single vineyard vines that exhibit the true spirit of the region. Rich and powerful notes of cassis and red fruit give way to coffee and chocolate on the palate, creating a harmonious complement for Joe’s Bone-In Filet.
