We start off with an exquisite Mushroom Pâté to accompany our dry Rosé Paradiso, a sliver of Brie cheese for the Oyster White, Peanut Sauce marries with the Sève, a bit of Wasabi Rice as an accompaniment to our Riesling, and Pasta Arti-Pesto with our B's Blend. Next are our reds—with our Under 10 Buck Red we are serving Glondo's Pepperoni. With our Baby Barn Owl Red we have a Bean in Adobo sauce. This is followed by with the Paradisos Red and some Glondo's Salami. The last dinner red is a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon with our ever famous Bleu Cheese Dip. And now we are ready for dessert, two of them! With the Zort, we have a sliver of dark chocolate. We suggest you melt this in your mouth rather than bite. Last, but not least, is our Angelica SR. We have a skosh of pumpkin custard (vegan) to go with that.
