Leaf Turner

A salad for the season if there ever was one! A big, chopped fall salad of Boston lettuce, shredded brussels sprouts and arugula leaves mixed with batons of fresh cut local apple and shaved cauliflower, all dressed with a creamy, cider-spiked buttermilk dressing. On top we scatter sharp cheddar cheese and toasted pecans, then warm-from-the-oven thick, smoky bacon lardons and roasted shallots are added at the last second. Served with olive oil toast.

Grilled Meatloaf Sandwich with Bacon Jam

What to do with 30 lbs. of Angus strip steak trimmings? Make meatloaf! A basic recipe of egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper will do the trick, then put a thick slice on butter-griddled bread with a little provolone, a swipe of mustard-mayo, and a big dollop of bacon jam. The meat is juicy, the bacon jam is sweet and smoky, and the combination is kind of like what Mom made, only more so! Served with fries or vinaigrette-dressed greens.

$12.95

Cream Cheese and Pecan Enchiladas

This variation is a New Mexican underground favorite and as inauthentic as it gets, with extremely delicious results.

Served with buttered pumpkin seed rice and vinaigrette-dressed greens.

Breaded Pork Loin Sandwich

Our Chef Brauny is a pork whisperer and he has been working on this!

Served with fries or vinaigrette-dressed greens.

$12.95

Tuna Melt

Loose Meat Sandwich with Sunny-side Egg

This is based on a Midwestern classic, a loose meat sandwich called the Maid-Rite. There are even a couple of old Maid-Rite Sandwich Shops in this area, both opened in the 30s. A mixture of pork and beef is cooked up loose and crumbly, seasoned liberally with salt and pepper, browned onion and yellow mustard for that old-fashioned burger taste. Plenty of the meat is piled onto a toasted kaiser bun and crowned with a sunny-side egg. Who says the Midwest doesn’t have its own cuisine? Served with fries, hash browns or a mound of vinaigrette-dressed salad greens.

$12.95

Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs with Cured Salmon and Capers

$14.95

Cream Cheese and Pecan Enchiladas with a Fried Egg on Top

This variation is a New Mexican underground favorite and as inauthentic as it gets, with extremely delicious results. Fresh corn tortillas are rolled around cream cheese, pecan and scallion filling, doused with smoky, red chile gravy and baked to hot and bubbly. A fried egg on top makes it ultimate brunch food, with hand-grated hash browns on the side.

$13.95

Slab Bacon, Cheddar and Tomato Scramble

Calling this scramble a BCT doesn’t really have the same ring that BLT does, but it packs the same kind of flavor. Nueske’s bacon is the smokiest, meatiest bacon in the land, and teamed with good off-season cherry tomatoes, a scattering of scallion and a handful of shredded Cheddar, it makes a hearty scramble. Served with hand-grated hashbrowns and buttered toast.

$13.95

Groth Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Few Sauvignon Blanc producers have garnered as much acclaim as Groth. Loaded with juicy sweet citrus flavors and a big, lush mouthfeel, this wine is fresh, crisp, silky and long on the finish. Critics use words like “hedonistic” and “spiritual”, but you be the judge, and enjoy each sip while doing so!

Nicolas Potel Macon Villages

Macon Villages is a wine appellation in the rolling hills of southern Burgundy. The grape is Chardonnay, the grape of almost all white wines from Burgundy, and Macon Villages wines share characteristics with Chablis and other better known White Burgundies, though they can be a touch richer with the warmer days in the south. This wine is unoaked, with an ultra-fresh quality and flavors of apples, almonds and a warm hint of citrus, all encompassed in a bracing minerality and a satiny texture. Sleek and elegant.

We are pouring the venerable Veleta Cabernet Sauvignon Roble in honor of vineyard owner and Dayton surgeon Dr. Juan Palomar.

Newton Claret

We lost our beloved Steltzner Claret, it is not being made anymore! But when I found out Newton made one, I was excited. Claret is a classic Merlot-based Bordeaux blend, and this one is rich, intense and nuanced. Blackberry, cherry, cocoa and spice are integrated with oak and supple tannins to create a bold, balanced wine that is absolutely delicious. I’ll miss the Steltzner, but I think I found a new love.

Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc

Schramsberg has a special place in my heart. It is one of the first quality wines I ever tasted as a young cook in San Francisco. I have been to the winery several times. Everything is done by hand. And the flavor of the Blanc de Blanc is delicious and complex. 100% Chardonnay, it smells like apples and sweet lime and bread dough. It flows over your palate with a quenching crispness, tasting of lime, tangerine and a fresh ginger spiciness. The bubbles, the minerality, the intoxicating mixture of citrus and apple—Schramsberg makes the best sparkling wine in America.

$48

Champagne Laurent-Perrier Brut

Evolution White

Evolution is a white wine from Oregon and there is nothing quite like it. It’s made from nine different grapes, blended with a lot of effort and a little luck into a beautiful, off-dry, zingy, food-loving, brilliantly bright-flavored wine. This unique wine has an almost cult-like following. It’s a lot of fun to pour because it gets such a great response.

$38

Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc

This rich and elegant wine is senior staff member Beth Blair’s favorite, and rightly so. Blended with 16% Semillon, this Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with citrus and tropical fruit while balanced with crisp acidity and Semillon-driven silkiness. It is fermented and aged using both stainless steel and French oak, adding depth and complexity.

$40

Nicolas Idiart Sancerre

Sancerre is a small appellation in Central France known for its Sauvignon Blanc, and Nicolas Idiart is well-known in the Loire Valley, a small but renowned region within Sancerre. This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, and comes so alive in the hands of this contemporary young winemaker! Crisp and super-fresh, the wine has a delicate texture with great minerality and flavors of verbena, lemon curd, a hint of peach, and a spritz of fresh-squeezed sweet ruby red grapefruit. Hand-crafted in small batches, taste what an artisan approach can do for a Sancerre. Stupendous.

$38

Olivier LeFlaive Bourgogne Aligote

Aligote is the underrated “third wine” of Burgundy, and I love it! A white wine that is crisp, minerally and refreshing, made from 30 year-old vines in Meursault, just south of Puligny Montrachet. What a pedigree! Hand-harvested, unfiltered, and aged in 100% stainless steel, this wine has aromas of lemon zest and green apples with flavors of butter, cut hay and a bracing acidity—so delicious! Move over French Chardonnay…

$42

Heitz Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay

This winery is as iconic and legendary as they come. Heitz Cellars Chardonnay captures the essence of the grape, from lively fruit to classic creaminess to terroir-driven flintiness. A hint of oak enhances the elegant honeysuckle and lemon zest notes all the way to the long, lingering finish. We are thrilled to have the Heitz Chardonnay on our list!

$48

Patz and Hall Chardonnay Dutton Ranch

What a beautiful wine. Robert Parker gives this vintage, 2014, 93 pts. Patz and Hall has tons of integrity, and the Dutton Ranch Chardonnay is a classic California Chard in the best sense. It offers up plenty of white peach and honeysuckle, with exotic layers of mango, papaya, and almond. 40% new French oak gives it the full-bodied elegance, nuance and structure that oaked Chardonnay lovers look for. So good.

$46

Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf-du-Pape

This classic blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is intense, with fig, blackberry and plum compote flavors rolling over one another, while worn leather, Turkish coffee and well-roasted mesquite notes form a ring around them. Overall the wine is rich and dense, yet there’s definition throughout. A full-bodied, expansive, fruited CN that has supple tannin and excellent purity.

$68

Darioush Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Darioush! The Signature Cabernet reflects Darioush’s individualism and dedication to crafting a Cabernet Sauvignon that bridges Bordeaux’s Old World complexity and poise with Napa Valley’s modern and progressive style, stature and depth. In the words of the winemaker: “The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits beautiful layers of blueberry and black cherry aromas mingled with bittersweet cocoa, cinnamon and cigar box. Rich and dense on the palate with blackberry, dried fig and anise flavors, the wine is further enhanced by savory and earthbound elements of dried sage and French roast coffee. The tannins are firm, refined and mineral-laden, offering a complete, long-term and rewarding wine experience.”

$125

Honig Cabernet Sauvignon

Honig Cab is big and rich with luscious, saturated fruit but nice balance—no over-the-top/look-at-me attitude here. It is made from vineyards in the famed Rutherford Bench area of the Napa Valley floor, known for producing some of the best Cabernet grapes in the world. Raspberry, blackberry, tobacco and a hint of pie spice characterize this elegant wine, along with a finish that goes on and on.

$58

Ridge Three Valleys Red Blend

Ridge is known the world ‘round for their proprietary Zinfandels, but this stellar wine is a blend of Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Syrah and Grenache. It is much-loved and not so easy to get. It knocked me out when I tasted it! From the winemaker: “Deep garnet color. Fresh raspberry and cherry fruits, barrel spice, clay minerals, and fresh mint. Sweet red berry fruit flows over the palate first, leading to lively acid, and supple tannins. Long, elegant finish.” Ridge wines always turn heads, but Three Valleys is particularly sexy, and a solid value to boot.

$53

Brooks Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

Founded in 1998, Brooks is a reflection of the visionary Portland native, Jimi Brooks. His reverence for the land and vines made him a practitioner of organic and biodynamic farming. With a Bouquet of pomegranate, molasses, and porcini, this pinot rounds out with red currant and herbes de provence on the palate. Wonderfully balanced, ever changing as it breathes in the glass. Enjoy!

$48

Sexual Chocolate

I almost didn’t buy this wine because of the name. How good could it be? Well, GOOD, that’s how good. Really really good. Made by the owner/winemaker Brandon Allen at the dynamic SLO Down Wine Co., Syrah, Zinfandel and Petit Sirah combine for big flavors of blackberry, black cherry, spice, and yes, chocolate. Sexual Chocolate is not the fruit-in-your-face type red you see so much of—this wine is complex and balanced. I can’t say I care for the name, but I couldn’t help loving the wine. I think you will too.

$42

Tolaini Valdisanti Toscana

This full-bodied Super-Tuscan is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc. Raspberry and black cherry aromas give way to a velvety-textured glass of plum, earth and spice—deep but reserved fruit framed by rich oak. Eyebrows flew up all over the room the day we tasted it. 92 points in Wine Spectator. Beat out wines ten times its price in a European blind tasting last summer. Balanced and intense with a long, brilliant finish. Truly special.

$48

Tinto Negro Malbec

From the prime area of Lujan de Cuyo in Mendoza, this is a rich and textured Malbec with loads of chocolate, dried berry and hints of vanilla character. Oaked for complexity, Tinto Negro is full and flavorful, yet velvety soft and so approachable.

Gerard Bertrand Cap Insula Red Blend

This French blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah was given a 92 by Wine Advocate and described by their head critic as “smokin’ good”. Offering lots of tobacco leaf, blackcurrants, chocolate and spice, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and textured, with a core of sweet fruit. Harvested entirely by hand and oak-aged for 80 days. Considering how delicious it is, the price is astounding.

Los Dos Grenache/Syrah

With soft, berry flavors of old-vine Grenache and Syrah, this easy-drinking quaffer from the mountains of Spain delivers round, fruit-forward flavors that carry through to a refined, lengthy finish.

A Slice of Sugared Nonsense (formerly known as Crack Pie)

This is a variation on the wildly popular pie made famous at Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar in NYC. She recently changed the name, understandably, and now so have we. Our version adds a layer of dark chocolate and a crumbly, salty-sweet saltine cracker crust, along with a drizzle of tart cherry caramel beneath a pillow of whipped cream. Our new name is from Paul Lawrence Dunbar’s poem The Old Apple-Tree, and you should read it, perhaps between bites of this pie!

Warm Bread Pudding with Rum Raisins and Vanilla Cardamom Sauce

The spice-laden aroma of an oven containing bread pudding fills the kitchen in the morning, chased by waftings of spices and raisins being simmered on the stove. Quivery and custard-like, studded with rum-infused raisins, the pudding is warmed to order, drizzled with the delicious creamy sauce. Take that, cold weather.

Burnt Basque Cheesecake

Before you balk at the name, you need to know that this is a THING. A thing that is blowing up the internet, in Europe in particular. This is the smoothest, creamiest, most delicious cheesecake you’ve ever tasted. It is not really anything like American cheesecake, and it is a little dark on top, on purpose, but trust me, if you order this dessert, not only are you on top of the hot trends list, you’ll be eating something heavenly. Minimally garnished with a little coconut caramel, and a sprinkle of candied sliced almonds. You’ll love it!
