First Impression
You open the wine list and realize you'll need a second dinner reservation just to finish reading it. With over 1,500 selections, this isn't a wine list — it's a library with a Master Sommelier as your librarian. The Mediterranean focus means you're diving into Greek, Sicilian, and Catalan producers most Houston restaurants wouldn't touch, alongside heavyweight Burgundy and Champagne that could fund a small car.
Selection Deep Dive
The range here is absurd in the best way. You've got magnums of Armand Rousseau Charmes Chambertin sitting next to approachable Greek bottles like the 2021 Gerovassiliou Malagousia and 2020 Skouras Agiorgitiko 'Saint George'. The Champagne section runs deep with gems like Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs 'Louis', while the Mediterranean focus brings serious depth in regions most wine lists treat as afterthoughts — Piemonte, Sicily, Catalan, and an impressive Greek lineup including the 2017 Sclavos Robola 'Vino di Sasso'. This is a list built by someone who actually cares, with Master Sommelier June Rodil steering the ship and clearly having fun with it.
By the Glass
The 30-40 glass pours rotate seasonally and punch well above typical restaurant BTG programs. You're not stuck choosing between boring Chardonnay and boring Pinot — they're pouring interesting Mediterranean selections that match the cuisine and give you a taste of the list's adventure without committing to a full bottle. The rotation keeps things fresh and signals that someone's actually curating this program, not just refilling the same six house pours.
2021 Gerovassiliou Malagousia — $40-50
Greek white that drinks like a richer Assyrtiko with aromatic complexity — criminally underpriced for what you're getting
2017 Sclavos Robola 'Vino di Sasso'
Kefalonian white that most people skip because they don't recognize the grape — crisp, mineral-driven, and pairs brilliantly with Mediterranean seafood
Armand Rousseau Charmes Chambertin Magnum
Probably $1,500+ and while it's stellar Burgundy, you're paying restaurant markup on an already astronomical bottle — save it for retail
2020 Skouras Agiorgitiko 'Saint George' + Lamb preparations
Greek red with the structure to handle rich lamb, earthiness that complements Mediterranean spices, and enough fruit to keep it approachable
🔥 The Bottom Line
This is where you come when you're serious about wine and want to explore beyond the usual suspects. The 1,500-bottle list isn't just deep — it's smart, curated, and full of Mediterranean treasures you won't find anywhere else in Houston.
