Romanian wine from people who make very little of it.

By the glass this week

Eight bottles open, changed every Tuesday. Tap one for what it tastes like.

Fetească Albă, unfilteredDealu Mare, 202332

Green apple and a little salt. Light, dry, the one to start with.

Grasă de Cotnari, skin contactCotnari, 202238

Two weeks on the skins, so it comes out amber. Apricot, black tea, grippy finish.

Tămâioasă Românească, dryDrăgășani, 202334

Smells sweet and isn't. Rose petals, lime, a bitter edge that works with the cheese.

Rosé of Negru de DrăgășaniDrăgășani, 202330

Pale, sour cherry, served cold. Summer is over and we're still pouring it.

Fetească Neagră, amphoraDealu Mare, 202142

Plum, smoke and clay. Soft tannins. Ask for it slightly chilled.

Novac, single vineyardDrăgășani, 202140

A grape almost nobody plants. Pepper, red currant, light enough for fish.

Pinot Noir, estateTârnave, 202046

From Transylvania's cold hills. Strawberry, forest floor, long.

Negru de Drăgășani, old vinesDrăgășani, 201952

The big one. Blackberry, tobacco, needs the lamb.

Prices in lei for 150 ml. Every wine is also sold by the bottle to take home.
