2006 Royal City Syrah
Just in, the Charles Smith Winery 2006 Royal City Syrah. Awarded 100 points by Paul Gregutt of Wine Enthusiast magazine who said “Rich scents of purple fruit, smoked meat, cedar, lead pencil, moist earth and so on proclaim a wine with genuine gravitas…..the finest syrah I have ever tasted from Washington State, and in fact as good as any young syrah I have ever tasted...
Jeff and his 45lb grouper
One of the new items on our menu is a seared Gulf Coast red grouper on a bed of saffron risotto. Here it is before it makes it onto your plate…no frozen seafood filets here…and an excellent alternative to our old Friday salmon special!
Seasons change and so does our menu: we’re adding some items and changing up our food menu.
New items include: two new salads, revamped nachos, grouper and saffron risotto, filet and rib eye. Old favorites such as the beef sliders, chicken sliders and BRIX burger are still there. And, of course, what would a wine bar be without the many wonderful cheeses from the Houston Dairymaids? More choices...
