Swiss

Nutty cheeses like slightly sweet sippers so we often pour bock, weiss beer, gewürztraminer, riesling, ice wines, port and sherry with Swiss. If stronger spirits sound best, then we recommend grappa and fruit brandies.

American Pale Lager

Golden, light, and refreshing, American pale lager is typically a lightly hopped and malted, balanced brew with a slightly bitter finish.

Pale Ale

Named for the pale malt used to make it, pale ale is a crisp and aromatic, medium-bodied crowd-pleaser of a beer.

Wheat Ale

In the summer, one of our favorite refreshing sippers is a pint of crisp, subtly spicey, golden-as-the-sun wheat ale.

Beaujolais

This light-bodied, easy drinking French red is made from the thin-skinned gamay grape and tucks perfectly into a picnic basket.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet sauvignon is a full-bodied, tannic, acidic, power-punch of a wine grown worldwide that Wisconsinites, like most of America, adore.

Merlot

This smooth red wine ranges in flavor from young and fruity to aged and chocolatey and a few delicious places in between.

Pinot Noir

Named for the dark purple, cooler-climate-loving grapes that go into it, pinot noir is a complex wine that, at its best, is a silky, mysterious and supple wine.

Chardonnay

With flavors ranging from crisp to creamy, chardonnay is a global favorite for good reason.

Pinot Gris

Pinot gris and pinot grigio are different names for the same wine. Both are bright, light, simple whites made from the same grapes.

Riesling

German by birth, riesling is one of our all-time favorite whites. Its flavor can range from dry to semi-sweet to sweet and even sometimes sparkle!

Sauvignon Blanc

Grassy, crisp, young and refreshing are all things that we associate with this light-on-its-feet white wine grown in many regions of the world.
