The Right Wine

From a simple meal with friends to a formal dinner party, bringing a bottle of wine is the perfect gesture. See what our sommeliers reach for when they’reheaded to a gathering.

My go-to is a grenache. They have great flavor and will pair with anything.
– Andy Chabot, Director of Food and Beverage

I like to bring champagne or a sparkling wine. It feels celebratory for the occasion, and everyone loves the cork pop.
– Logan Griffin, Dining Room Manager

My picks are usually subject to my mood or thirst at the time. The country that I almost always choose from is Spain. There are a wide berth of interestingwines to fit in at any point in the meal – a fun white Cava, Albrino or Godello to start the night and a Rioja or a Priorat to go along with the entreealways fit the menu. After the meal, Ribera del Duro always hits the spot.
– Jason Drotar, Sommelier

I usually opt for champagne. Everyone is happy when they're drinking champagne!
– Kelly Schmidt, Main House Captain

One thing they all agree on - you can't beat a quality corkscrew. A good wine key will last a long time, and it makes a great gift.
